[SCSI] advansys: Move documentation to Documentation/scsi
The 700+-line comment at the top of the advansys driver fits more comfortably in Documentation/scsi. Delete the sections on: - kernels supported - other files modified (obsolete) - source comments (obsolete) - tests to run - release history (that's what a VCS is for) - contacting connectcom (the domain has expired and the phone number is now in use by another organisation) Known problems/fix list is moved down to the section where jejb put his FIXME.

|
||||
|
||||
The CDB counts below indicate the number of SCSI CDB (Command
|
||||
Descriptor Block) requests that can be stored in the RISC chip
|
||||
cache and board LRAM. A CDB is a single SCSI command. The driver
|
||||
detect routine will display the number of CDBs available for each
|
||||
adapter detected. The number of CDBs used by the driver can be
|
||||
lowered in the BIOS by changing the 'Host Queue Size' adapter setting.

Driver Compile Time Options and Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
The following constants can be defined in the source file.
|
||||
|
||||
1. ADVANSYS_ASSERT - Enable driver assertions (Def: Enabled)
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling this option adds assertion logic statements to the
|
||||
driver. If an assertion fails a message will be displayed to
|
||||
the console, but the system will continue to operate. Any
|
||||
assertions encountered should be reported to the person
|
||||
responsible for the driver. Assertion statements may proactively
|
||||
detect problems with the driver and facilitate fixing these
|
||||
problems. Enabling assertions will add a small overhead to the
|
||||
execution of the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
2. ADVANSYS_DEBUG - Enable driver debugging (Def: Disabled)
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling this option adds tracing functions to the driver and the
|
||||
ability to set a driver tracing level at boot time. This option is
|
||||
very useful for debugging the driver, but it will add to the size
|
||||
of the driver execution image and add overhead to the execution of
|
||||
the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
The amount of debugging output can be controlled with the global
|
||||
variable 'asc_dbglvl'. The higher the number the more output. By
|
||||
default the debug level is 0.
|
||||
|
||||
If the driver is loaded at boot time and the LILO Driver Option
|
||||
is included in the system, the debug level can be changed by
|
||||
specifying a 5th (ASC_NUM_IOPORT_PROBE + 1) I/O Port. The
|
||||
first three hex digits of the pseudo I/O Port must be set to
|
||||
'deb' and the fourth hex digit specifies the debug level: 0 - F.
|
||||
The following command line will look for an adapter at 0x330
|
||||
and set the debug level to 2.
|
||||
|
||||
linux advansys=0x330,0,0,0,0xdeb2
|
||||
|
||||
If the driver is built as a loadable module this variable can be
|
||||
defined when the driver is loaded. The following insmod command
|
||||
will set the debug level to one.
|
||||
|
||||
insmod advansys.o asc_dbglvl=1
|
||||
|
||||
Debugging Message Levels:
|
||||
0: Errors Only
|
||||
1: High-Level Tracing
|
||||
2-N: Verbose Tracing
|
||||
|
||||
To enable debug output to console, please make sure that:
|
||||
|
||||
a. System and kernel logging is enabled (syslogd, klogd running).
|
||||
b. Kernel messages are routed to console output. Check
|
||||
/etc/syslog.conf for an entry similar to this:
|
||||
|
||||
kern.* /dev/console
|
||||
|
||||
c. klogd is started with the appropriate -c parameter
|
||||
(e.g. klogd -c 8)
|
||||
|
||||
This will cause printk() messages to be be displayed on the
|
||||
current console. Refer to the klogd(8) and syslogd(8) man pages
|
||||
for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively you can enable printk() to console with this
|
||||
program. However, this is not the 'official' way to do this.
|
||||
Debug output is logged in /var/log/messages.
|
||||
|
||||
main()
|
||||
{
|
||||
syscall(103, 7, 0, 0);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Increasing LOG_BUF_LEN in kernel/printk.c to something like
|
||||
40960 allows more debug messages to be buffered in the kernel
|
||||
and written to the console or log file.
|
||||
|
||||
3. ADVANSYS_STATS - Enable statistics (Def: Enabled)
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling this option adds statistics collection and display
|
||||
through /proc to the driver. The information is useful for
|
||||
monitoring driver and device performance. It will add to the
|
||||
size of the driver execution image and add minor overhead to
|
||||
the execution of the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
Statistics are maintained on a per adapter basis. Driver entry
|
||||
point call counts and transfer size counts are maintained.
|
||||
Statistics are only available for kernels greater than or equal
|
||||
to v1.3.0 with the CONFIG_PROC_FS (/proc) file system configured.
|
||||
|
||||
AdvanSys SCSI adapter files have the following path name format:
|
||||
|
||||
/proc/scsi/advansys/{0,1,2,3,...}
|
||||
|
||||
This information can be displayed with cat. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
cat /proc/scsi/advansys/0
|
||||
|
||||
When ADVANSYS_STATS is not defined the AdvanSys /proc files only
|
||||
contain adapter and device configuration information.
|
||||
|
||||
Driver LILO Option
|
||||
|
||||
If init/main.c is modified as described in the 'Directions for Adding
|
||||
the AdvanSys Driver to Linux' section (B.4.) above, the driver will
|
||||
recognize the 'advansys' LILO command line and /etc/lilo.conf option.
|
||||
This option can be used to either disable I/O port scanning or to limit
|
||||
scanning to 1 - 4 I/O ports. Regardless of the option setting EISA and
|
||||
PCI boards will still be searched for and detected. This option only
|
||||
affects searching for ISA and VL boards.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
1. Eliminate I/O port scanning:
|
||||
boot: linux advansys=
|
||||
or
|
||||
boot: linux advansys=0x0
|
||||
2. Limit I/O port scanning to one I/O port:
|
||||
boot: linux advansys=0x110
|
||||
3. Limit I/O port scanning to four I/O ports:
|
||||
boot: linux advansys=0x110,0x210,0x230,0x330
|
||||
|
||||
For a loadable module the same effect can be achieved by setting
|
||||
the 'asc_iopflag' variable and 'asc_ioport' array when loading
|
||||
the driver, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
insmod advansys.o asc_iopflag=1 asc_ioport=0x110,0x330
|
||||
|
||||
If ADVANSYS_DEBUG is defined a 5th (ASC_NUM_IOPORT_PROBE + 1)
|
||||
I/O Port may be added to specify the driver debug level. Refer to
|
||||
the 'Driver Compile Time Options and Debugging' section above for
|
||||
more information.

C. Linux source files modified by AdvanSys Driver
|
||||
|
||||
This section for historical purposes documents the changes
|
||||
originally made to the Linux kernel source to add the advansys
|
||||
driver. As Linux has changed some of these files have also
|
||||
been modified.
|
||||
|
||||
1. linux/arch/i386/config.in:
|
||||
|
||||
bool 'AdvanSys SCSI support' CONFIG_SCSI_ADVANSYS y
|
||||
|
||||
2. linux/drivers/scsi/hosts.c:
|
||||
|
||||
#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_ADVANSYS
|
||||
#include "advansys.h"
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
|
||||
and after "static struct scsi_host_template builtin_scsi_hosts[] =":
|
||||
|
||||
#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_ADVANSYS
|
||||
ADVANSYS,
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
|
||||
3. linux/drivers/scsi/Makefile:
|
||||
|
||||
ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_ADVANSYS
|
||||
SCSI_SRCS := $(SCSI_SRCS) advansys.c
|
||||
SCSI_OBJS := $(SCSI_OBJS) advansys.o
|
||||
else
|
||||
SCSI_MODULE_OBJS := $(SCSI_MODULE_OBJS) advansys.o
|
||||
endif
|
||||
|
||||
4. linux/init/main.c:
|
||||
|
||||
extern void advansys_setup(char *str, int *ints);
|
||||
|
||||
and add the following lines to the bootsetups[] array.
|
||||
|
||||
#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_ADVANSYS
|
||||
{ "advansys=", advansys_setup },
|
||||
#endif
|
||||
|
||||
D. Source Comments
|
||||
|
||||
1. Use tab stops set to 4 for the source files. For vi use 'se tabstops=4'.
|
||||
|
||||
2. This driver should be maintained in multiple files. But to make
|
||||
it easier to include with Linux and to follow Linux conventions,
|
||||
the whole driver is maintained in the source files advansys.h and
|
||||
advansys.c. In this file logical sections of the driver begin with
|
||||
a comment that contains '---'. The following are the logical sections
|
||||
of the driver below.

||||
|
||||
E. Driver Compile Time Options and Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
In this source file the following constants can be defined. They are
|
||||
defined in the source below. Both of these options are enabled by
|
||||
default.
|
||||
|
||||
1. ADVANSYS_ASSERT - Enable driver assertions (Def: Enabled)
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling this option adds assertion logic statements to the
|
||||
driver. If an assertion fails a message will be displayed to
|
||||
the console, but the system will continue to operate. Any
|
||||
assertions encountered should be reported to the person
|
||||
responsible for the driver. Assertion statements may proactively
|
||||
detect problems with the driver and facilitate fixing these
|
||||
problems. Enabling assertions will add a small overhead to the
|
||||
execution of the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
2. ADVANSYS_DEBUG - Enable driver debugging (Def: Disabled)
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling this option adds tracing functions to the driver and
|
||||
the ability to set a driver tracing level at boot time. This
|
||||
option will also export symbols not required outside the driver to
|
||||
the kernel name space. This option is very useful for debugging
|
||||
the driver, but it will add to the size of the driver execution
|
||||
image and add overhead to the execution of the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
The amount of debugging output can be controlled with the global
|
||||
variable 'asc_dbglvl'. The higher the number the more output. By
|
||||
default the debug level is 0.
|
||||
|
||||
If the driver is loaded at boot time and the LILO Driver Option
|
||||
is included in the system, the debug level can be changed by
|
||||
specifying a 5th (ASC_NUM_IOPORT_PROBE + 1) I/O Port. The
|
||||
first three hex digits of the pseudo I/O Port must be set to
|
||||
'deb' and the fourth hex digit specifies the debug level: 0 - F.
|
||||
The following command line will look for an adapter at 0x330
|
||||
and set the debug level to 2.
|
||||
|
||||
linux advansys=0x330,0,0,0,0xdeb2
|
||||
|
||||
If the driver is built as a loadable module this variable can be
|
||||
defined when the driver is loaded. The following insmod command
|
||||
will set the debug level to one.
|
||||
|
||||
insmod advansys.o asc_dbglvl=1
|
||||
|
||||
Debugging Message Levels:
|
||||
0: Errors Only
|
||||
1: High-Level Tracing
|
||||
2-N: Verbose Tracing
|
||||
|
||||
To enable debug output to console, please make sure that:
|
||||
|
||||
a. System and kernel logging is enabled (syslogd, klogd running).
|
||||
b. Kernel messages are routed to console output. Check
|
||||
/etc/syslog.conf for an entry similar to this:
|
||||
|
||||
kern.* /dev/console
|
||||
|
||||
c. klogd is started with the appropriate -c parameter
|
||||
(e.g. klogd -c 8)
|
||||
|
||||
This will cause printk() messages to be be displayed on the
|
||||
current console. Refer to the klogd(8) and syslogd(8) man pages
|
||||
for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively you can enable printk() to console with this
|
||||
program. However, this is not the 'official' way to do this.
|
||||
Debug output is logged in /var/log/messages.
|
||||
|
||||
main()
|
||||
{
|
||||
syscall(103, 7, 0, 0);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Increasing LOG_BUF_LEN in kernel/printk.c to something like
|
||||
40960 allows more debug messages to be buffered in the kernel
|
||||
and written to the console or log file.
|
||||
|
||||
3. ADVANSYS_STATS - Enable statistics (Def: Enabled >= v1.3.0)
|
||||
|
||||
Enabling this option adds statistics collection and display
|
||||
through /proc to the driver. The information is useful for
|
||||
monitoring driver and device performance. It will add to the
|
||||
size of the driver execution image and add minor overhead to
|
||||
the execution of the driver.
|
||||
|
||||
Statistics are maintained on a per adapter basis. Driver entry
|
||||
point call counts and transfer size counts are maintained.
|
||||
Statistics are only available for kernels greater than or equal
|
||||
to v1.3.0 with the CONFIG_PROC_FS (/proc) file system configured.
|
||||
|
||||
AdvanSys SCSI adapter files have the following path name format:
|
||||
|
||||
/proc/scsi/advansys/{0,1,2,3,...}
|
||||
|
||||
This information can be displayed with cat. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
cat /proc/scsi/advansys/0
|
||||
|
||||
When ADVANSYS_STATS is not defined the AdvanSys /proc files only
|
||||
contain adapter and device configuration information.
|
||||
|
||||
F. Driver LILO Option
|
||||
|
||||
If init/main.c is modified as described in the 'Directions for Adding
|
||||
the AdvanSys Driver to Linux' section (B.4.) above, the driver will
|
||||
recognize the 'advansys' LILO command line and /etc/lilo.conf option.
|
||||
This option can be used to either disable I/O port scanning or to limit
|
||||
scanning to 1 - 4 I/O ports. Regardless of the option setting EISA and
|
||||
PCI boards will still be searched for and detected. This option only
|
||||
affects searching for ISA and VL boards.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
1. Eliminate I/O port scanning:
|
||||
boot: linux advansys=
|
||||
or
|
||||
boot: linux advansys=0x0
|
||||
2. Limit I/O port scanning to one I/O port:
|
||||
boot: linux advansys=0x110
|
||||
3. Limit I/O port scanning to four I/O ports:
|
||||
boot: linux advansys=0x110,0x210,0x230,0x330
|
||||
|
||||
For a loadable module the same effect can be achieved by setting
|
||||
the 'asc_iopflag' variable and 'asc_ioport' array when loading
|
||||
the driver, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
insmod advansys.o asc_iopflag=1 asc_ioport=0x110,0x330
|
||||
|
||||
If ADVANSYS_DEBUG is defined a 5th (ASC_NUM_IOPORT_PROBE + 1)
|
||||
I/O Port may be added to specify the driver debug level. Refer to
|
||||
the 'Driver Compile Time Options and Debugging' section above for
|
||||
more information.
|
||||
|
||||
G. Tests to run before releasing new driver
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the supported kernels verify there are no warning or compile
|
||||
errors when the kernel is built as both a driver and as a module
|
||||
and with the following options:
|
||||
|
||||
ADVANSYS_DEBUG - enabled and disabled
|
||||
CONFIG_SMP - enabled and disabled
|
||||
CONFIG_PROC_FS - enabled and disabled
|
||||
|
||||
2. Run tests on an x86, alpha, and PowerPC with at least one narrow
|
||||
card and one wide card attached to a hard disk and CD-ROM drive:
|
||||
fdisk, mkfs, fsck, bonnie, copy/compare test from the
|
||||
CD-ROM to the hard drive.
|
||||
|
||||
H. Release History
|
||||
|
||||
BETA-1.0 (12/23/95):
|
||||
First Release

|
||||
2. Add LILO 0xdeb[0-f] option to set 'asc_dbglvl'.
|
||||
|
||||
1.2 (1/12/96):
|
||||
1. Prevent re-entrancy in the interrupt handler which
|
||||
resulted in the driver hanging Linux.
|
||||
2. Fix problem that prevented ABP-940 cards from being
|
||||
recognized on some PCI motherboards.
|
||||
3. Add support for the ABP-5140 PnP ISA card.
|

|
||||
|
||||
1.3 (2/23/96):
|
||||
1. Fix problem in advansys_biosparam() that resulted in the
|
||||
wrong drive geometry being returned for drives > 1GB with
|
||||
extended translation enabled.
|
||||
2. Add additional tracing during device initialization.
|
||||
3. Change code that only applies to ISA PnP adapter.
|
||||
4. Eliminate 'make dep' warning.
|
||||
5. Try to fix problem with handling resets by increasing their
|
||||
timeout value.
|
||||
|
||||
1.4 (5/8/96):
|
||||
1. Change definitions to eliminate conflicts with other subsystems.
|
||||
2. Add versioning code for the shared interrupt changes.
|
||||
3. Eliminate problem in asc_rmqueue() with iterating after removing
|
||||
a request.
|
||||
4. Remove reset request loop problem from the "Known Problems or
|
||||
Issues" section. This problem was isolated and fixed in the
|
||||
mid-level SCSI driver.
|
||||
|
||||
1.5 (8/8/96):
|
||||
1. Add support for ABP-940U (PCI Ultra) adapter.
|
||||
2. Add support for IRQ sharing by setting the IRQF_SHARED flag for
|
||||
request_irq and supplying a dev_id pointer to both request_irq()
|
||||
and free_irq().
|
||||
3. In AscSearchIOPortAddr11() restore a call to check_region() which
|
||||
should be used before I/O port probing.
|
||||
4. Fix bug in asc_prt_hex() which resulted in the displaying
|
||||
the wrong data.
|
||||
5. Incorporate miscellaneous Asc Library bug fixes and new microcode.
|
||||
6. Change driver versioning to be specific to each Linux sub-level.
|
||||
7. Change statistics gathering to be per adapter instead of global
|
||||
to the driver.
|
||||
8. Add more information and statistics to the adapter /proc file:
|
||||
/proc/scsi/advansys[0...].
|
||||
9. Remove 'cmd_per_lun' from the "Known Problems or Issues" list.
|
||||
This problem has been addressed with the SCSI mid-level changes
|
||||
made in v1.3.89. The advansys_select_queue_depths() function
|
||||
was added for the v1.3.89 changes.
|
||||
|
||||
1.6 (9/10/96):
|
||||
1. Incorporate miscellaneous Asc Library bug fixes and new microcode.
|
||||
|
||||
1.7 (9/25/96):
|
||||
1. Enable clustering and optimize the setting of the maximum number
|
||||
of scatter gather elements for any particular board. Clustering
|
||||
increases CPU utilization, but results in a relatively larger
|
||||
increase in I/O throughput.
|
||||
2. Improve the performance of the request queuing functions by
|
||||
adding a last pointer to the queue structure.
|
||||
3. Correct problems with reset and abort request handling that
|
||||
could have hung or crashed Linux.
|
||||
4. Add more information to the adapter /proc file:
|
||||
/proc/scsi/advansys[0...].
|
||||
5. Remove the request timeout issue form the driver issues list.
|
||||
6. Miscellaneous documentation additions and changes.
|
||||
|
||||
1.8 (10/4/96):
|
||||
1. Make changes to handle the new v2.1.0 kernel memory mapping
|
||||
in which a kernel virtual address may not be equivalent to its
|
||||
bus or DMA memory address.
|
||||
2. Change abort and reset request handling to make it yet even
|
||||
more robust.
|
||||
3. Try to mitigate request starvation by sending ordered requests
|
||||
to heavily loaded, tag queuing enabled devices.
|
||||
4. Maintain statistics on request response time.
|
||||
5. Add request response time statistics and other information to
|
||||
the adapter /proc file: /proc/scsi/advansys[0...].
|
||||
|
||||
1.9 (10/21/96):
|
||||
1. Add conditionally compiled code (ASC_QUEUE_FLOW_CONTROL) to
|
||||
make use of mid-level SCSI driver device queue depth flow
|
||||
control mechanism. This will eliminate aborts caused by a
|
||||
device being unable to keep up with requests and eliminate
|
||||
repeat busy or QUEUE FULL status returned by a device.
|
||||
2. Incorporate miscellaneous Asc Library bug fixes.
|
||||
3. To allow the driver to work in kernels with broken module
|
||||
support set 'cmd_per_lun' if the driver is compiled as a
|
||||
module. This change affects kernels v1.3.89 to present.
|
||||
4. Remove PCI BIOS address from the driver banner. The PCI BIOS
|
||||
is relocated by the motherboard BIOS and its new address can
|
||||
not be determined by the driver.
|
||||
5. Add mid-level SCSI queue depth information to the adapter
|
||||
/proc file: /proc/scsi/advansys[0...].
|
||||
|
||||
2.0 (11/14/96):
|
||||
1. Change allocation of global structures used for device
|
||||
initialization to guarantee they are in DMA-able memory.
|
||||
Previously when the driver was loaded as a module these
|
||||
structures might not have been in DMA-able memory, causing
|
||||
device initialization to fail.
|
||||
|
||||
2.1 (12/30/96):
|
||||
1. In advansys_reset(), if the request is a synchronous reset
|
||||
request, even if the request serial number has changed, then
|
||||
complete the request.
|
||||
2. Add Asc Library bug fixes including new microcode.
|
||||
3. Clear inquiry buffer before using it.
|
||||
4. Correct ifdef typo.
|
||||
|
||||
2.2 (1/15/97):
|
||||
1. Add Asc Library bug fixes including new microcode.
|
||||
2. Add synchronous data transfer rate information to the
|
||||
adapter /proc file: /proc/scsi/advansys[0...].
|
||||
3. Change ADVANSYS_DEBUG to be disabled by default. This
|
||||
will reduce the size of the driver image, eliminate execution
|
||||
overhead, and remove unneeded symbols from the kernel symbol
|
||||
space that were previously added by the driver.
|
||||
4. Add new compile-time option ADVANSYS_ASSERT for assertion
|
||||
code that used to be defined within ADVANSYS_DEBUG. This
|
||||
option is enabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
2.8 (5/26/97):
|
||||
1. Change version number to 2.8 to synchronize the Linux driver
|
||||
version numbering with other AdvanSys drivers.
|
||||
2. Reformat source files without tabs to present the same view
|
||||
of the file to everyone regardless of the editor tab setting
|
||||
being used.
|
||||
3. Add Asc Library bug fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
3.1A (1/8/98):
|
||||
1. Change version number to 3.1 to indicate that support for
|
||||
Ultra-Wide adapters (ABP-940UW) is included in this release.
|
||||
2. Add Asc Library (Narrow Board) bug fixes.
|
||||
3. Report an underrun condition with the host status byte set
|
||||
to DID_UNDERRUN. Currently DID_UNDERRUN is defined to 0 which
|
||||
causes the underrun condition to be ignored. When Linux defines
|
||||
its own DID_UNDERRUN the constant defined in this file can be
|
||||
removed.
|
||||
4. Add patch to AscWaitTixISRDone().
|
||||
5. Add support for up to 16 different AdvanSys host adapter SCSI
|
||||
channels in one system. This allows four cards with four channels
|
||||
to be used in one system.
|
||||
|
||||
3.1B (1/9/98):
|
||||
1. Handle that PCI register base addresses are not always page
|
||||
aligned even though ioremap() requires that the address argument
|
||||
be page aligned.
|
||||
|
||||
3.1C (1/10/98):
|
||||
1. Update latest BIOS version checked for from the /proc file.
|
||||
2. Don't set microcode SDTR variable at initialization. Instead
|
||||
wait until device capabilities have been detected from an Inquiry
|
||||
command.
|
||||
|
||||
3.1D (1/21/98):
|
||||
1. Improve performance when the driver is compiled as module by
|
||||
allowing up to 64 scatter-gather elements instead of 8.
|
||||
|
||||
3.1E (5/1/98):
|
||||
1. Set time delay in AscWaitTixISRDone() to 1000 ms.
|
||||
2. Include SMP locking changes.
|
||||
3. For v2.1.93 and newer kernels use CONFIG_PCI and new PCI BIOS
|
||||
access functions.
|
||||
4. Update board serial number printing.
|
||||
5. Try allocating an IRQ both with and without the IRQF_DISABLED
|
||||
flag set to allow IRQ sharing with drivers that do not set
|
||||
the IRQF_DISABLED flag. Also display a more descriptive error
|
||||
message if request_irq() fails.
|
||||
6. Update to latest Asc and Adv Libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2A (7/22/99):
|
||||
1. Update Adv Library to 4.16 which includes support for
|
||||
the ASC38C0800 (Ultra2/LVD) IC.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2B (8/23/99):
|
||||
1. Correct PCI compile time option for v2.1.93 and greater
|
||||
kernels, advansys_info() string, and debug compile time
|
||||
option.
|
||||
2. Correct DvcSleepMilliSecond() for v2.1.0 and greater
|
||||
kernels. This caused an LVD detection/BIST problem problem
|
||||
among other things.
|
||||
3. Sort PCI cards by PCI Bus, Slot, Function ascending order
|
||||
to be consistent with the BIOS.
|
||||
4. Update to Asc Library S121 and Adv Library 5.2.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2C (8/24/99):
|
||||
1. Correct PCI card detection bug introduced in 3.2B that
|
||||
prevented PCI cards from being detected in kernels older
|
||||
than v2.1.93.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2D (8/26/99):
|
||||
1. Correct /proc device synchronous speed information display.
|
||||
Also when re-negotiation is pending for a target device
|
||||
note this condition with an * and footnote.
|
||||
2. Correct initialization problem with Ultra-Wide cards that
|
||||
have a pre-3.2 BIOS. A microcode variable changed locations
|
||||
in 3.2 and greater BIOSes which caused WDTR to be attempted
|
||||
erroneously with drives that don't support WDTR.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2E (8/30/99):
|
||||
1. Fix compile error caused by v2.3.13 PCI structure change.
|
||||
2. Remove field from ASCEEP_CONFIG that resulted in an EEPROM
|
||||
checksum error for ISA cards.
|
||||
3. Remove ASC_QUEUE_FLOW_CONTROL conditional code. The mid-level
|
||||
SCSI changes that it depended on were never included in Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2F (9/3/99):
|
||||
1. Handle new initial function code added in v2.3.16 for all
|
||||
driver versions.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2G (9/8/99):
|
||||
1. Fix PCI board detection in v2.3.13 and greater kernels.
|
||||
2. Fix comiple errors in v2.3.X with debugging enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2H (9/13/99):
|
||||
1. Add 64-bit address, long support for Alpha and UltraSPARC.
|
||||
The driver has been verified to work on an Alpha system.
|
||||
2. Add partial byte order handling support for Power PC and
|
||||
other big-endian platforms. This support has not yet been
|
||||
completed or verified.
|
||||
3. For wide boards replace block zeroing of request and
|
||||
scatter-gather structures with individual field initialization
|
||||
to improve performance.
|
||||
4. Correct and clarify ROM BIOS version detection.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2I (10/8/99):
|
||||
1. Update to Adv Library 5.4.
|
||||
2. Add v2.3.19 underrun reporting to asc_isr_callback() and
|
||||
adv_isr_callback(). Remove DID_UNDERRUN constant and other
|
||||
no longer needed code that previously documented the lack
|
||||
of underrun handling.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2J (10/14/99):
|
||||
1. Eliminate compile errors for v2.0 and earlier kernels.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2K (11/15/99):
|
||||
1. Correct debug compile error in asc_prt_adv_scsi_req_q().
|
||||
2. Update Adv Library to 5.5.
|
||||
3. Add ifdef handling for /proc changes added in v2.3.28.
|
||||
4. Increase Wide board scatter-gather list maximum length to
|
||||
255 when the driver is compiled into the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2L (11/18/99):
|
||||
1. Fix bug in adv_get_sglist() that caused an assertion failure
|
||||
at line 7475. The reqp->sgblkp pointer must be initialized
|
||||
to NULL in adv_get_sglist().
|
||||
|
||||
3.2M (11/29/99):
|
||||
1. Really fix bug in adv_get_sglist().
|
||||
2. Incorporate v2.3.29 changes into driver.
|
||||
|
||||
3.2N (4/1/00):
|
||||
1. Add CONFIG_ISA ifdef code.
|
||||
2. Include advansys_interrupts_enabled name change patch.
|
||||
3. For >= v2.3.28 use new SCSI error handling with new function
|
||||
advansys_eh_bus_reset(). Don't include an abort function
|
||||
because of base library limitations.
|
||||
4. For >= v2.3.28 use per board lock instead of io_request_lock.
|
||||
5. For >= v2.3.28 eliminate advansys_command() and
|
||||
advansys_command_done().
|
||||
6. Add some changes for PowerPC (Big Endian) support, but it isn't
|
||||
working yet.
|
||||
7. Fix "nonexistent resource free" problem that occurred on a module
|
||||
unload for boards with an I/O space >= 255. The 'n_io_port' field
|
||||
is only one byte and can not be used to hold an ioport length more
|
||||
than 255.
|
||||
|
||||
3.3A (4/4/00):
|
||||
1. Update to Adv Library 5.8.
|
||||
2. For wide cards add support for CDBs up to 16 bytes.
|
||||
3. Eliminate warnings when CONFIG_PROC_FS is not defined.
|
||||
|
||||
3.3B (5/1/00):
|
||||
1. Support for PowerPC (Big Endian) wide cards. Narrow cards
|
||||
still need work.
|
||||
2. Change bitfields to shift and mask access for endian
|
||||
portability.
|
||||
|
||||
3.3C (10/13/00):
|
||||
1. Update for latest 2.4 kernel.
|
||||
2. Test ABP-480 CardBus support in 2.4 kernel - works!
|
||||
3. Update to Asc Library S123.
|
||||
4. Update to Adv Library 5.12.
|
||||
|
||||
3.3D (11/22/00):
|
||||
1. Update for latest 2.4 kernel.
|
||||
2. Create patches for 2.2 and 2.4 kernels.
|
||||
|
||||
3.3E (1/9/01):
|
||||
1. Now that 2.4 is released remove ifdef code for kernel versions
|
||||
less than 2.2. The driver is now only supported in kernels 2.2,
|
||||
2.4, and greater.
|
||||
2. Add code to release and acquire the io_request_lock in
|
||||
the driver entrypoint functions: advansys_detect and
|
||||
advansys_queuecommand. In kernel 2.4 the SCSI mid-level driver
|
||||
still holds the io_request_lock on entry to SCSI low-level drivers.
|
||||
This was supposed to be removed before 2.4 was released but never
|
||||
happened. When the mid-level SCSI driver is changed all references
|
||||
to the io_request_lock should be removed from the driver.
|
||||
3. Simplify error handling by removing advansys_abort(),
|
||||
AscAbortSRB(), AscResetDevice(). SCSI bus reset requests are
|
||||
now handled by resetting the SCSI bus and fully re-initializing
|
||||
the chip. This simple method of error recovery has proven to work
|
||||
most reliably after attempts at different methods. Also now only
|
||||
support the "new" error handling method and remove the obsolete
|
||||
error handling interface.
|
||||
4. Fix debug build errors.
|
||||
|
||||
3.3F (1/24/01):
|
||||
1. Merge with ConnectCom version from Andy Kellner which
|
||||
updates Adv Library to 5.14.
|
||||
2. Make PowerPC (Big Endian) work for narrow cards and
|
||||
fix problems writing EEPROM for wide cards.
|
||||
3. Remove interrupts_enabled assertion function.
|
||||
|
||||
3.3G (2/16/01):
|
||||
1. Return an error from narrow boards if passed a 16 byte
|
||||
CDB. The wide board can already handle 16 byte CDBs.
|
||||
|
||||
3.3GJ (4/15/02):
|
||||
1. hacks for lk 2.5 series (D. Gilbert)
|
||||
|
||||
3.3GJD (10/14/02):
|
||||
1. change select_queue_depths to slave_configure
|
||||
2. make cmd_per_lun be sane again
|
||||
|
||||
3.3K [2004/06/24]:
|
||||
1. continuing cleanup for lk 2.6 series
|
||||
2. Fix problem in lk 2.6.7-bk2 that broke PCI wide cards
|
||||
3. Fix problem that oopsed ISA cards
|
||||
|
||||
I. Known Problems/Fix List (XXX)
|
||||
|
||||
1. Need to add memory mapping workaround. Test the memory mapping.
|
||||
If it doesn't work revert to I/O port access. Can a test be done
|
||||
safely?
|
||||
2. Handle an interrupt not working. Keep an interrupt counter in
|
||||
the interrupt handler. In the timeout function if the interrupt
|
||||
has not occurred then print a message and run in polled mode.
|
||||
3. Allow bus type scanning order to be changed.
|
||||
4. Need to add support for target mode commands, cf. CAM XPT.
