modularize it so that new transports can be created. Add a transport for SATA Add a periph+protocol layer for ATA Add a driver for AHCI-compliant hardware. Add a maxio field to CAM so that drivers can advertise their max I/O capability. Modify various drivers so that they are insulated from the value of MAXPHYS. The new ATA/SATA code supports AHCI-compliant hardware, and will override the classic ATA driver if it is loaded as a module at boot time or compiled into the kernel. The stack now support NCQ (tagged queueing) for increased performance on modern SATA drives. It also supports port multipliers. ATA drives are accessed via 'ada' device nodes. ATAPI drives are accessed via 'cd' device nodes. They can all be enumerated and manipulated via camcontrol, just like SCSI drives. SCSI commands are not translated to their ATA equivalents; ATA native commands are used throughout the entire stack, including camcontrol. See the camcontrol manpage for further details. Testing this code may require that you update your fstab, and possibly modify your BIOS to enable AHCI functionality, if available. This code is very experimental at the moment. The userland ABI/API has changed, so applications will need to be recompiled. It may change further in the near future. The 'ada' device name may also change as more infrastructure is completed in this project. The goal is to eventually put all CAM busses and devices until newbus, allowing for interesting topology and management options. Few functional changes will be seen with existing SCSI/SAS/FC drivers, though the userland ABI has still changed. In the future, transports specific modules for SAS and FC may appear in order to better support the topologies and capabilities of these technologies. The modularization of CAM and the addition of the ATA/SATA modules is meant to break CAM out of the mold of being specific to SCSI, letting it grow to be a framework for arbitrary transports and protocols. It also allows drivers to be written to support discrete hardware without jeopardizing the stability of non-related hardware. While only an AHCI driver is provided now, a Silicon Image driver is also in the works. Drivers for ICH1-4, ICH5-6, PIIX, classic IDE, and any other hardware is possible and encouraged. Help with new transports is also encouraged. Submitted by: scottl, mav Approved by: re

Bump __FreeBSD_version accordingly.

Change the disk(9) API in order to make device removal more robust.

Previously the "struct disk" were owned by the device driver and this gave us problems when the device disappared and the users of that device were not immediately disappearing. Now the struct disk is allocate with a new call, disk_alloc() and owned by geom_disk and just abandonned by the device driver when disk_create() is called. Unfortunately, this results in a ton of "s/\./->/" changes to device drivers. Since I'm doing the sweep anyway, a couple of other API improvements have been carried out at the same time: The Giant awareness flag has been flipped from DISKFLAG_NOGIANT to DISKFLAG_NEEDSGIANT A version number have been added to disk_create() so that we can detect, report and ignore binary drivers with old ABI in the future. Manual page update to follow shortly.

Move to "struct disk*" centric API. Retire major #131 (mlxd)

Make FreeBSD "struct disklabel" agnostic, step 311 of 723:

2002-09-20T12:52:03Z

Rename diskerr() to disk_err() for naming consistency. Drop the by now entirely useless struct disklabel argument. Add a flag argument for new-line termination. Fix a couple of printf-format-casts to %j instead of %l. Correctly print the name of all bio commands. Move the function from subr_disklabel.c to subr_disk.c, and from to . Use the new disk_err() throughout, #include as needed. Bump __FreeBSD_version for the sake of the aac disk drivers #ifdefs. Remove unused disklabel members of softc for aac, amr and mlx, which seem to originally have been intended for diskerr() use, but which only rotted and got Copy&Pasted at least two times to many.

Note ALL MODULES MUST BE RECOMPILED make the kernel aware that there are smaller units of scheduling than the process. (but only allow one thread per process at this time). This is functionally equivalent to teh previousl -current except that there is a thread associated with each process. Sorry john! (your next MFC will be a doosie!)
