+=======================
+The 53c700 Driver Notes
+=======================
+
+General Description
+===================
+
+This driver supports the 53c700 and 53c700-66 chips.  It also supports
+the 53c710 but only in 53c700 emulation mode.  It is full featured and
+does sync (-66 and 710 only), disconnects and tag command queueing.
+
+Since the 53c700 must be interfaced to a bus, you need to wrapper the
+card detector around this driver.  For an example, see the
+NCR_D700.[ch] or lasi700.[ch] files.
+
+The comments in the 53c700.[ch] files tell you which parts you need to
+fill in to get the driver working.
+
+
+Compile Time Flags
+==================
+
+A compile time flag is::
+
+	CONFIG_53C700_LE_ON_BE
+
+define if the chipset must be supported in little endian mode on a big
+endian architecture (used for the 700 on parisc).
+
+
+Using the Chip Core Driver
+==========================
+
+In order to plumb the 53c700 chip core driver into a working SCSI
+driver, you need to know three things about the way the chip is wired
+into your system (or expansion card).
+
+1. The clock speed of the SCSI core
+2. The interrupt line used
+3. The memory (or io space) location of the 53c700 registers.
+
+Optionally, you may also need to know other things, like how to read
+the SCSI Id from the card bios or whether the chip is wired for
+differential operation.
+
+Usually you can find items 2. and 3. from general spec. documents or
+even by examining the configuration of a working driver under another
+operating system.
+
+The clock speed is usually buried deep in the technical literature.
+It is required because it is used to set up both the synchronous and
+asynchronous dividers for the chip.  As a general rule of thumb,
+manufacturers set the clock speed at the lowest possible setting
+consistent with the best operation of the chip (although some choose
+to drive it off the CPU or bus clock rather than going to the expense
+of an extra clock chip).  The best operation clock speeds are:
+
+=========  =====
+53c700     25MHz
+53c700-66  50MHz
+53c710     40Mhz
+=========  =====
+
+Writing Your Glue Driver
+========================
+
+This will be a standard SCSI driver (I don't know of a good document
+describing this, just copy from some other driver) with at least a
+detect and release entry.
+
+In the detect routine, you need to allocate a struct
+NCR_700_Host_Parameters sized memory area and clear it (so that the
+default values for everything are 0).  Then you must fill in the
+parameters that matter to you (see below), plumb the NCR_700_intr
+routine into the interrupt line and call NCR_700_detect with the host
+template and the new parameters as arguments.  You should also call
+the relevant request_*_region function and place the register base
+address into the 'base' pointer of the host parameters.
+
+In the release routine, you must free the NCR_700_Host_Parameters that
+you allocated, call the corresponding release_*_region and free the
+interrupt.
+
+Handling Interrupts
+-------------------
+
+In general, you should just plumb the card's interrupt line in with
+
+request_irq(irq, NCR_700_intr, <irq flags>, <driver name>, host);
+
+where host is the return from the relevant NCR_700_detect() routine.
+
+You may also write your own interrupt handling routine which calls
+NCR_700_intr() directly.  However, you should only really do this if
+you have a card with more than one chip on it and you can read a
+register to tell which set of chips wants the interrupt.
+
+Settable NCR_700_Host_Parameters
+--------------------------------
+
+The following are a list of the user settable parameters:
+
+clock: (MANDATORY)
+  Set to the clock speed of the chip in MHz.
+
+base: (MANDATORY)
+  Set to the base of the io or mem region for the register set. On 64
+  bit architectures this is only 32 bits wide, so the registers must be
+  mapped into the low 32 bits of memory.
+
+pci_dev: (OPTIONAL)
+  Set to the PCI board device.  Leave NULL for a non-pci board.  This is
+  used for the pci_alloc_consistent() and pci_map_*() functions.
+
+dmode_extra: (OPTIONAL, 53c710 only)
+  Extra flags for the DMODE register.  These are used to control bus
+  output pins on the 710.  The settings should be a combination of
+  DMODE_FC1 and DMODE_FC2.  What these pins actually do is entirely up
+  to the board designer.  Usually it is safe to ignore this setting.
+
+differential: (OPTIONAL)
+  Set to 1 if the chip drives a differential bus.
+
+force_le_on_be: (OPTIONAL, only if CONFIG_53C700_LE_ON_BE is set)
+  Set to 1 if the chip is operating in little endian mode on a big
+  endian architecture.
+
+chip710: (OPTIONAL)
+  Set to 1 if the chip is a 53c710.
+
+burst_disable: (OPTIONAL, 53c710 only)
+  Disable 8 byte bursting for DMA transfers.

+Introduction
+============
+
+BusLogic, Inc. designed and manufactured a variety of high performance SCSI
+host adapters which share a common programming interface across a diverse
+collection of bus architectures by virtue of their MultiMaster ASIC technology.
+BusLogic was acquired by Mylex Corporation in February 1996, but the products
+supported by this driver originated under the BusLogic name and so that name is
+retained in the source code and documentation.
+
+This driver supports all present BusLogic MultiMaster Host Adapters, and should
+support any future MultiMaster designs with little or no modification.  More
+recently, BusLogic introduced the FlashPoint Host Adapters, which are less
+costly and rely on the host CPU, rather than including an onboard processor.
+Despite not having an onboard CPU, the FlashPoint Host Adapters perform very
+well and have very low command latency.  BusLogic has recently provided me with
+the FlashPoint Driver Developer's Kit, which comprises documentation and freely
+redistributable source code for the FlashPoint SCCB Manager.  The SCCB Manager
+is the library of code that runs on the host CPU and performs functions
+analogous to the firmware on the MultiMaster Host Adapters.  Thanks to their
+having provided the SCCB Manager, this driver now supports the FlashPoint Host
+Adapters as well.
+
+My primary goals in writing this completely new BusLogic driver for Linux are
+to achieve the full performance that BusLogic SCSI Host Adapters and modern
+SCSI peripherals are capable of, and to provide a highly robust driver that can
+be depended upon for high performance mission critical applications.  All of
+the major performance features can be configured from the Linux kernel command
+line or at module initialization time, allowing individual installations to
+tune driver performance and error recovery to their particular needs.
+
+The latest information on Linux support for BusLogic SCSI Host Adapters, as
+well as the most recent release of this driver and the latest firmware for the
+BT-948/958/958D, will always be available from my Linux Home Page at URL
+"http://sourceforge.net/projects/dandelion/".
+
+Bug reports should be sent via electronic mail to "lnz@dandelion.com".  Please
+include with the bug report the complete configuration messages reported by the
+driver and SCSI subsystem at startup, along with any subsequent system messages
+relevant to SCSI operations, and a detailed description of your system's
+hardware configuration.
+
+Mylex has been an excellent company to work with and I highly recommend their
+products to the Linux community.  In November 1995, I was offered the
+opportunity to become a beta test site for their latest MultiMaster product,
+the BT-948 PCI Ultra SCSI Host Adapter, and then again for the BT-958 PCI Wide
+Ultra SCSI Host Adapter in January 1996.  This was mutually beneficial since
+Mylex received a degree and kind of testing that their own testing group cannot
+readily achieve, and the Linux community has available high performance host
+adapters that have been well tested with Linux even before being brought to
+market.  This relationship has also given me the opportunity to interact
+directly with their technical staff, to understand more about the internal
+workings of their products, and in turn to educate them about the needs and
+potential of the Linux community.
+
+More recently, Mylex has reaffirmed the company's interest in supporting the
+Linux community, and I am now working on a Linux driver for the DAC960 PCI RAID
+Controllers.  Mylex's interest and support is greatly appreciated.
+
+Unlike some other vendors, if you contact Mylex Technical Support with a
+problem and are running Linux, they will not tell you that your use of their
+products is unsupported.  Their latest product marketing literature even states
+"Mylex SCSI host adapters are compatible with all major operating systems
+including: ... Linux ...".

+
+Driver Features
+===============
+
+Configuration Reporting and Testing
+-----------------------------------
+
+  During system initialization, the driver reports extensively on the host
+  adapter hardware configuration, including the synchronous transfer parameters
+  requested and negotiated with each target device.  AutoSCSI settings for
+  Synchronous Negotiation, Wide Negotiation, and Disconnect/Reconnect are
+  reported for each target device, as well as the status of Tagged Queuing.
+  If the same setting is in effect for all target devices, then a single word
+  or phrase is used; otherwise, a letter is provided for each target device to
+  indicate the individual status.  The following examples
+  should clarify this reporting format:
+
+    Synchronous Negotiation: Ultra
+
+      Synchronous negotiation is enabled for all target devices and the host
+      adapter will attempt to negotiate for 20.0 mega-transfers/second.
+
+    Synchronous Negotiation: Fast
+
+      Synchronous negotiation is enabled for all target devices and the host
+      adapter will attempt to negotiate for 10.0 mega-transfers/second.
+
+    Synchronous Negotiation: Slow
+
+      Synchronous negotiation is enabled for all target devices and the host
+      adapter will attempt to negotiate for 5.0 mega-transfers/second.
+
+    Synchronous Negotiation: Disabled
+
+      Synchronous negotiation is disabled and all target devices are limited to
+      asynchronous operation.
+
+    Synchronous Negotiation: UFSNUUU#UUUUUUUU
+
+      Synchronous negotiation to Ultra speed is enabled for target devices 0
+      and 4 through 15, to Fast speed for target device 1, to Slow speed for
+      target device 2, and is not permitted to target device 3.  The host
+      adapter's SCSI ID is represented by the "#".
+
+    The status of Wide Negotiation, Disconnect/Reconnect, and Tagged Queuing
+    are reported as "Enabled", Disabled", or a sequence of "Y" and "N" letters.
+
+Performance Features
+--------------------
+
+  BusLogic SCSI Host Adapters directly implement SCSI-2 Tagged Queuing, and so
+  support has been included in the driver to utilize tagged queuing with any
+  target devices that report having the tagged queuing capability.  Tagged
+  queuing allows for multiple outstanding commands to be issued to each target
+  device or logical unit, and can improve I/O performance substantially.  In
+  addition, BusLogic's Strict Round Robin Mode is used to optimize host adapter
+  performance, and scatter/gather I/O can support as many segments as can be
+  effectively utilized by the Linux I/O subsystem.  Control over the use of
+  tagged queuing for each target device as well as individual selection of the
+  tagged queue depth is available through driver options provided on the kernel
+  command line or at module initialization time.  By default, the queue depth
+  is determined automatically based on the host adapter's total queue depth and
+  the number, type, speed, and capabilities of the target devices found.  In
+  addition, tagged queuing is automatically disabled whenever the host adapter
+  firmware version is known not to implement it correctly, or whenever a tagged
+  queue depth of 1 is selected.  Tagged queuing is also disabled for individual
+  target devices if disconnect/reconnect is disabled for that device.
+
+Robustness Features
+-------------------
+
+  The driver implements extensive error recovery procedures.  When the higher
+  level parts of the SCSI subsystem request that a timed out command be reset,
+  a selection is made between a full host adapter hard reset and SCSI bus reset
+  versus sending a bus device reset message to the individual target device
+  based on the recommendation of the SCSI subsystem.  Error recovery strategies
+  are selectable through driver options individually for each target device,
+  and also include sending a bus device reset to the specific target device
+  associated with the command being reset, as well as suppressing error
+  recovery entirely to avoid perturbing an improperly functioning device.  If
+  the bus device reset error recovery strategy is selected and sending a bus
+  device reset does not restore correct operation, the next command that is
+  reset will force a full host adapter hard reset and SCSI bus reset.  SCSI bus
+  resets caused by other devices and detected by the host adapter are also
+  handled by issuing a soft reset to the host adapter and re-initialization.
+  Finally, if tagged queuing is active and more than one command reset occurs
+  in a 10 minute interval, or if a command reset occurs within the first 10
+  minutes of operation, then tagged queuing will be disabled for that target
+  device.  These error recovery options improve overall system robustness by
+  preventing individual errant devices from causing the system as a whole to
+  lock up or crash, and thereby allowing a clean shutdown and restart after the
+  offending component is removed.
+
+PCI Configuration Support
+-------------------------
+
+  On PCI systems running kernels compiled with PCI BIOS support enabled, this
+  driver will interrogate the PCI configuration space and use the I/O port
+  addresses assigned by the system BIOS, rather than the ISA compatible I/O
+  port addresses.  The ISA compatible I/O port address is then disabled by the
+  driver.  On PCI systems it is also recommended that the AutoSCSI utility be
+  used to disable the ISA compatible I/O port entirely as it is not necessary.
+  The ISA compatible I/O port is disabled by default on the BT-948/958/958D.
+
+/proc File System Support
+-------------------------
+
+  Copies of the host adapter configuration information together with updated
+  data transfer and error recovery statistics are available through the
+  /proc/scsi/BusLogic/<N> interface.
+
+Shared Interrupts Support
+-------------------------
+
+  On systems that support shared interrupts, any number of BusLogic Host
+  Adapters may share the same interrupt request channel.

+
+BusLogic SCSI Host Adapters are available packaged both as bare boards and as
+retail kits.  The BT- model numbers above refer to the bare board packaging.
+The retail kit model numbers are found by replacing BT- with KT- in the above
+list.  The retail kit includes the bare board and manual as well as cabling and
+driver media and documentation that are not provided with bare boards.
+
+
+FlashPoint Installation Notes
+=============================
+
+RAIDPlus Support
+----------------
+
+  FlashPoint Host Adapters now include RAIDPlus, Mylex's bootable software
+  RAID.  RAIDPlus is not supported on Linux, and there are no plans to support
+  it.  The MD driver in Linux 2.0 provides for concatenation (LINEAR) and
+  striping (RAID-0), and support for mirroring (RAID-1), fixed parity (RAID-4),
+  and distributed parity (RAID-5) is available separately.  The built-in Linux
+  RAID support is generally more flexible and is expected to perform better
+  than RAIDPlus, so there is little impetus to include RAIDPlus support in the
+  BusLogic driver.
+
+Enabling UltraSCSI Transfers
+----------------------------
+
+  FlashPoint Host Adapters ship with their configuration set to "Factory
+  Default" settings that are conservative and do not allow for UltraSCSI speed
+  to be negotiated.  This results in fewer problems when these host adapters
+  are installed in systems with cabling or termination that is not sufficient
+  for UltraSCSI operation, or where existing SCSI devices do not properly
+  respond to synchronous transfer negotiation for UltraSCSI speed.  AutoSCSI
+  may be used to load "Optimum Performance" settings which allow UltraSCSI
+  speed to be negotiated with all devices, or UltraSCSI speed can be enabled on
+  an individual basis.  It is recommended that SCAM be manually disabled after
+  the "Optimum Performance" settings are loaded.
+
+
+BT-948/958/958D Installation Notes
+==================================
+
+The BT-948/958/958D PCI Ultra SCSI Host Adapters have some features which may
+require attention in some circumstances when installing Linux.
+
+PCI I/O Port Assignments
+------------------------
+
+  When configured to factory default settings, the BT-948/958/958D will only
+  recognize the PCI I/O port assignments made by the motherboard's PCI BIOS.
+  The BT-948/958/958D will not respond to any of the ISA compatible I/O ports
+  that previous BusLogic SCSI Host Adapters respond to.  This driver supports
+  the PCI I/O port assignments, so this is the preferred configuration.
+  However, if the obsolete BusLogic driver must be used for any reason, such as
+  a Linux distribution that does not yet use this driver in its boot kernel,
+  BusLogic has provided an AutoSCSI configuration option to enable a legacy ISA
+  compatible I/O port.
+
+  To enable this backward compatibility option, invoke the AutoSCSI utility via
+  Ctrl-B at system startup and select "Adapter Configuration", "View/Modify
+  Configuration", and then change the "ISA Compatible Port" setting from
+  "Disable" to "Primary" or "Alternate".  Once this driver has been installed,
+  the "ISA Compatible Port" option should be set back to "Disable" to avoid
+  possible future I/O port conflicts.  The older BT-946C/956C/956CD also have
+  this configuration option, but the factory default setting is "Primary".
+
+PCI Slot Scanning Order
+-----------------------
+
+  In systems with multiple BusLogic PCI Host Adapters, the order in which the
+  PCI slots are scanned may appear reversed with the BT-948/958/958D as
+  compared to the BT-946C/956C/956CD.  For booting from a SCSI disk to work
+  correctly, it is necessary that the host adapter's BIOS and the kernel agree
+  on which disk is the boot device, which requires that they recognize the PCI
+  host adapters in the same order.  The motherboard's PCI BIOS provides a
+  standard way of enumerating the PCI host adapters, which is used by the Linux
+  kernel.  Some PCI BIOS implementations enumerate the PCI slots in order of
+  increasing bus number and device number, while others do so in the opposite
+  direction.
+
+  Unfortunately, Microsoft decided that Windows 95 would always enumerate the
+  PCI slots in order of increasing bus number and device number regardless of
+  the PCI BIOS enumeration, and requires that their scheme be supported by the
+  host adapter's BIOS to receive Windows 95 certification.  Therefore, the
+  factory default settings of the BT-948/958/958D enumerate the host adapters
+  by increasing bus number and device number.  To disable this feature, invoke
+  the AutoSCSI utility via Ctrl-B at system startup and select "Adapter
+  Configuration", "View/Modify Configuration", press Ctrl-F10, and then change
+  the "Use Bus And Device # For PCI Scanning Seq." option to OFF.
+
+  This driver will interrogate the setting of the PCI Scanning Sequence option
+  so as to recognize the host adapters in the same order as they are enumerated
+  by the host adapter's BIOS.
+
+Enabling UltraSCSI Transfers
+----------------------------
+
+  The BT-948/958/958D ship with their configuration set to "Factory Default"
+  settings that are conservative and do not allow for UltraSCSI speed to be
+  negotiated.  This results in fewer problems when these host adapters are
+  installed in systems with cabling or termination that is not sufficient for
+  UltraSCSI operation, or where existing SCSI devices do not properly respond
+  to synchronous transfer negotiation for UltraSCSI speed.  AutoSCSI may be
+  used to load "Optimum Performance" settings which allow UltraSCSI speed to be
+  negotiated with all devices, or UltraSCSI speed can be enabled on an
+  individual basis.  It is recommended that SCAM be manually disabled after the
+  "Optimum Performance" settings are loaded.
+
+
+Driver Options
+==============
+
+BusLogic Driver Options may be specified either via the Linux Kernel Command
+Line or via the Loadable Kernel Module Installation Facility.  Driver Options
+for multiple host adapters may be specified either by separating the option
+strings by a semicolon, or by specifying multiple "BusLogic=" strings on the
+command line.  Individual option specifications for a single host adapter are
+separated by commas.  The Probing and Debugging Options apply to all host
+adapters whereas the remaining options apply individually only to the
+selected host adapter.
+
+The BusLogic Driver Probing Options comprise the following:
+
+IO:<integer>
+
+  The "IO:" option specifies an ISA I/O Address to be probed for a non-PCI
+  MultiMaster Host Adapter.  If neither "IO:" nor "NoProbeISA" options are
+  specified, then the standard list of BusLogic MultiMaster ISA I/O Addresses
+  will be probed (0x330, 0x334, 0x230, 0x234, 0x130, and 0x134).  Multiple
+  "IO:" options may be specified to precisely determine the I/O Addresses to
+  be probed, but the probe order will always follow the standard list.
+
+NoProbe
+
+  The "NoProbe" option disables all probing and therefore no BusLogic Host
+  Adapters will be detected.
+
+NoProbeISA
+
+  The "NoProbeISA" option disables probing of the standard BusLogic ISA I/O
+  Addresses and therefore only PCI MultiMaster and FlashPoint Host Adapters
+  will be detected.
+
+NoProbePCI
+
+  The "NoProbePCI" options disables the interrogation of PCI Configuration
+  Space and therefore only ISA Multimaster Host Adapters will be detected, as
+  well as PCI Multimaster Host Adapters that have their ISA Compatible I/O
+  Port set to "Primary" or "Alternate".
+
+NoSortPCI
+
+  The "NoSortPCI" option forces PCI MultiMaster Host Adapters to be
+  enumerated in the order provided by the PCI BIOS, ignoring any setting of
+  the AutoSCSI "Use Bus And Device # For PCI Scanning Seq." option.
+
+MultiMasterFirst
+
+  The "MultiMasterFirst" option forces MultiMaster Host Adapters to be probed
+  before FlashPoint Host Adapters.  By default, if both FlashPoint and PCI
+  MultiMaster Host Adapters are present, this driver will probe for
+  FlashPoint Host Adapters first unless the BIOS primary disk is controlled
+  by the first PCI MultiMaster Host Adapter, in which case MultiMaster Host
+  Adapters will be probed first.
+
+FlashPointFirst
+
+  The "FlashPointFirst" option forces FlashPoint Host Adapters to be probed
+  before MultiMaster Host Adapters.
+
+The BusLogic Driver Tagged Queuing Options allow for explicitly specifying
+the Queue Depth and whether Tagged Queuing is permitted for each Target
+Device (assuming that the Target Device supports Tagged Queuing).  The Queue
+Depth is the number of SCSI Commands that are allowed to be concurrently
+presented for execution (either to the Host Adapter or Target Device).  Note
+that explicitly enabling Tagged Queuing may lead to problems; the option to
+enable or disable Tagged Queuing is provided primarily to allow disabling
+Tagged Queuing on Target Devices that do not implement it correctly.  The
+following options are available:
+
+QueueDepth:<integer>
+
+  The "QueueDepth:" or QD:" option specifies the Queue Depth to use for all
+  Target Devices that support Tagged Queuing, as well as the maximum Queue
+  Depth for devices that do not support Tagged Queuing.  If no Queue Depth
+  option is provided, the Queue Depth will be determined automatically based
+  on the Host Adapter's Total Queue Depth and the number, type, speed, and
+  capabilities of the detected Target Devices.  For Host Adapters that
+  require ISA Bounce Buffers, the Queue Depth is automatically set by default
+  to BusLogic_TaggedQueueDepthBB or BusLogic_UntaggedQueueDepthBB to avoid
+  excessive preallocation of DMA Bounce Buffer memory.  Target Devices that
+  do not support Tagged Queuing always have their Queue Depth set to
+  BusLogic_UntaggedQueueDepth or BusLogic_UntaggedQueueDepthBB, unless a
+  lower Queue Depth option is provided.  A Queue Depth of 1 automatically
+  disables Tagged Queuing.
+
+QueueDepth:[<integer>,<integer>...]
+
+  The "QueueDepth:[...]" or "QD:[...]" option specifies the Queue Depth
+  individually for each Target Device.  If an <integer> is omitted, the
+  associated Target Device will have its Queue Depth selected automatically.
+
+TaggedQueuing:Default
+
+  The "TaggedQueuing:Default" or "TQ:Default" option permits Tagged Queuing
+  based on the firmware version of the BusLogic Host Adapter and based on
+  whether the Queue Depth allows queuing multiple commands.
+
+TaggedQueuing:Enable
+
+  The "TaggedQueuing:Enable" or "TQ:Enable" option enables Tagged Queuing for
+  all Target Devices on this Host Adapter, overriding any limitation that
+  would otherwise be imposed based on the Host Adapter firmware version.
+
+TaggedQueuing:Disable
+
+  The "TaggedQueuing:Disable" or "TQ:Disable" option disables Tagged Queuing
+  for all Target Devices on this Host Adapter.
+
+TaggedQueuing:<Target-Spec>
+
+  The "TaggedQueuing:<Target-Spec>" or "TQ:<Target-Spec>" option controls
+  Tagged Queuing individually for each Target Device.  <Target-Spec> is a
+  sequence of "Y", "N", and "X" characters.  "Y" enables Tagged Queuing, "N"
+  disables Tagged Queuing, and "X" accepts the default based on the firmware
+  version.  The first character refers to Target Device 0, the second to
+  Target Device 1, and so on; if the sequence of "Y", "N", and "X" characters
+  does not cover all the Target Devices, unspecified characters are assumed
+  to be "X".
+
+The BusLogic Driver Miscellaneous Options comprise the following:
+
+BusSettleTime:<seconds>
+
+  The "BusSettleTime:" or "BST:" option specifies the Bus Settle Time in
+  seconds.  The Bus Settle Time is the amount of time to wait between a Host
+  Adapter Hard Reset which initiates a SCSI Bus Reset and issuing any SCSI
+  Commands.  If unspecified, it defaults to BusLogic_DefaultBusSettleTime.
+
+InhibitTargetInquiry
+
+  The "InhibitTargetInquiry" option inhibits the execution of an Inquire
+  Target Devices or Inquire Installed Devices command on MultiMaster Host
+  Adapters.  This may be necessary with some older Target Devices that do not
+  respond correctly when Logical Units above 0 are addressed.
+
+The BusLogic Driver Debugging Options comprise the following:
+
+TraceProbe
+
+  The "TraceProbe" option enables tracing of Host Adapter Probing.
+
+TraceHardwareReset
+
+  The "TraceHardwareReset" option enables tracing of Host Adapter Hardware
+  Reset.
+
+TraceConfiguration
+
+  The "TraceConfiguration" option enables tracing of Host Adapter
+  Configuration.
+
+TraceErrors
+
+  The "TraceErrors" option enables tracing of SCSI Commands that return an
+  error from the Target Device.  The CDB and Sense Data will be printed for
+  each SCSI Command that fails.
+
+Debug
+
+  The "Debug" option enables all debugging options.
+
+The following examples demonstrate setting the Queue Depth for Target Devices
+1 and 2 on the first host adapter to 7 and 15, the Queue Depth for all Target
+Devices on the second host adapter to 31, and the Bus Settle Time on the
+second host adapter to 30 seconds.
+
+Linux Kernel Command Line::
+
+  linux BusLogic=QueueDepth:[,7,15];QueueDepth:31,BusSettleTime:30
+
+LILO Linux Boot Loader (in /etc/lilo.conf)::
+
+  append = "BusLogic=QueueDepth:[,7,15];QueueDepth:31,BusSettleTime:30"
+
+INSMOD Loadable Kernel Module Installation Facility::
+
+  insmod BusLogic.o \
+      'BusLogic="QueueDepth:[,7,15];QueueDepth:31,BusSettleTime:30"'
+
+
+.. Note::
+
+      Module Utilities 2.1.71 or later is required for correct parsing
+      of driver options containing commas.
+
+
+Driver Installation
+===================
+
+This distribution was prepared for Linux kernel version 2.0.35, but should be
+compatible with 2.0.4 or any later 2.0 series kernel.
+
+To install the new BusLogic SCSI driver, you may use the following commands,
+replacing "/usr/src" with wherever you keep your Linux kernel source tree::
+
+  cd /usr/src
+  tar -xvzf BusLogic-2.0.15.tar.gz
+  mv README.* LICENSE.* BusLogic.[ch] FlashPoint.c linux/drivers/scsi
+  patch -p0 < BusLogic.patch (only for 2.0.33 and below)
+  cd linux
+  make config
+  make zImage
+
+Then install "arch/x86/boot/zImage" as your standard kernel, run lilo if
+appropriate, and reboot.
+
+
+BusLogic Announcements Mailing List
+===================================
+
+The BusLogic Announcements Mailing List provides a forum for informing Linux
+users of new driver releases and other announcements regarding Linux support
+for BusLogic SCSI Host Adapters.  To join the mailing list, send a message to
+"buslogic-announce-request@dandelion.com" with the line "subscribe" in the
+message body.

+
+                - Fixed read/write errors when the adapter is using an
+                  8K stripe size.

+Known issues :
+	* Please read the associated RELEASE-NOTES file !!!
+	* This source release intended for upstream kernel releases only!
+
+Changes from 20050323 to 20050413
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.28
+	* Fixed build warning for 2.6.12-rc2 kernels: mempool_alloc now
+	  requires a function which takes an unsigned int for gfp_flags.
+	* Removed pci dma sync calls to coherent/consistent pci memory.
+	* Merged patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>: split helpers
+	  for fabric and nport logins out of lpfc_cmpl_els_flogi.
+	* Removed sysfs attributes that are used to dump the various
+	  discovery lists.
+	* Fix for issue where not all luns are seen.  Search all lists
+	  other than unmap list in lpfc_find_target().  Otherwise INQUIRY
+	  to luns on nodes in NPR or other relevant states (PLOGI,
+	  PRLI...) are errored back and scan() terminates.
+	* Removed FC_TRANSPORT_PATCHESxxx defines.  They're in 2.6.12-rc1.
+	* Compare return value of lpfc_scsi_tgt_reset against SCSI
+	  midlayer codes SUCCESS/FAILED which that function returns rather
+	  than SLI return code.
+	* Removed extraneous calls to lpfc_sli_next_iotag which should
+	  only be called from lpfc_sli_submit_iocb.  Also make
+	  lpfc_sli_next_iotag static.
+	* Added PCI ID for LP10000-S.
+	* Changes in lpfc_abort_handler(): Return SUCCESS if we did not
+	  find command in both TX and TX completion queues.  Return ERROR
+	  if we timed out waiting for command to complete after abort was
+	  issued.
+	* Zero-out response sense length in lpfc_scsi_prep_cmnd to prevent
+	  interpretation of stale sense length when the command completes
+	  - was causing spurious 0710 messages.
+	* Moved clearing of host_scribble inside host_lock in IO
+	  completion path.
+	* Fixed a bunch of mixed tab/space indentation.
+	* Allow hex format numbers in sysfs attribute setting.  Fix
+	  application hang when invalid numbers are used in sysfs
+	  settings.
+	* Removed extra iotag allocation by lpfc_abort_handler.
+	* Clear host_scribble in the scsi_cmnd structure when failing in
+	  queuecommand.
+	* Changed logic at top of lpfc_abort_handler so that if the
+	  command's host_scibble field is NULL, return SUCCESS because the
+	  driver has already returned the command to the midlayer.
+
+Changes from 20050308 to 20050323
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.27
+	* Changed a few lines from patch submitted by Christoph Hellwig
+	  (3/19). MAILBOX_WSIZE * (uint32_t) is replaced with an
+	  equivalent MAILBOX_CMDSIZE macro.
+	* Merged patch from Christoph Hellwig (3/19): some misc patches
+	  against the latest drivers:
+	  - stop using volatile.  if you need special ordering use memory
+	    barriers but that doesn't seem to be the case here
+	  - switch lpfc_sli_pcimem_bcopy to take void * arguments.
+	  - remove typecast for constants - a U postfix marks them
+	    unsigned int in C
+	  - add a MAILBOX_CMD_SIZE macro, as most users of
+	    MAILBOX_CMD_WSIZE didn't really want the word count
+	  - kill struct lpfc_scsi_dma_buf and embedded the two members
+	    directly in struct lpfc_scsi_buf
+	  - don't call dma_sync function on allocations from
+	    pci_pool_alloc - it's only for streaming mappings (pci_map_*)
+	* Merged patch from Christoph Hellwig (3/19) - nlp_failMask isn't
+	  ever used by the driver, just reported to userspace (and that in
+	  a multi-value file which is against the sysfs guidelines).
+	* Change pci_module_init to pci_register_module() with appropriate
+	  ifdefs.
+	* Added #include <linux/dma-mapping.h> as required by the DMA
+	  32bit and 64bit defines on some archs.
+	* Merged patch from Christoph Hellwig (03/19) - fix initialization
+	  order - scsi_add_host must happen last from scsi POV. Also some
+	  minor style/comment fixups.
+	* Fixed use of TRANSPORT_PATCHES_V2 by changing to
+	  FC_TRANSPORT_PATCHES_V2.
+
+Changes from 20050223 to 20050308
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.26
+	* Revise TRANSPORT_PATCHES_V2 so that lpfc_target is removed and
+	  rport data is used instead. Removed device_queue_hash[].
+	* Changed RW attributes of scan_down, max_luns and fcp_bind_method
+	  to R only.
+	* Fixed RSCN handling during initial link initialization.
+	* Fixed issue with receiving PLOGI handling when node is on NPR
+	  list and marked for ADISC.
+	* Fixed RSCN timeout issues.
+	* Reduced severity of "SCSI layer issued abort device" message to
+	  KERN_WARNING.
+	* Feedback from Christoph Hellwig (on 2/5) - In the LPFC_EVT_SCAN
+	  case the caller already has the target ID handly, so pass that
+	  one in evt_arg1.
+	* Fix compile warning/resultant panic in
+	  lpfc_register_remote_port().
+
+Changes from 20050215 to 20050223
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.25
+	* Add appropriate comments to lpfc_sli.c.
+	* Use DMA_64BIT_MASK and DMA_32BIT_MASK defines instead of
+	  0xffffffffffffffffULL & 0xffffffffULL respectively.  Use pci
+	  equivalents instead of dma_set_mask and also modify condition
+	  clause to actually exit on error condition.
+	* Restart els timeout handler only if txcmplq_cnt. On submission,
+	  mod_timer the els_tmofunc.  This prevents the worker thread from
+	  waking up the els_tmo handler un-necessarily.  The thread was
+	  being woken up even when there were no pending els commands.
+	* Added new typedefs for abort and reset functions.
+	* Collapsed lpfc_sli_abort_iocb_xxx into a single function.
+	* Collapsed lpfc_sli_sum_iocb_xxx into a single function.
+	* Removed TXQ from all abort and reset handlers since it is never
+	  used.
+	* Fixed Oops panic in 8.0.23 (reported on SourceForge).  The
+	  driver was not handling LPFC_IO_POLL cases correctly in
+	  fast_ring_event and was setting the tgt_reset timeout to 0 in
+	  lpfc_reset_bus_handler.  This 0 timeout would not allow the FW
+	  to timeout ABTS's on bad targets and allow the driver to have an
+	  iocb on two lists.  Also split the lpfc_sli_ringtxcmpl_get
+	  function into two routines to match the fast and slow completion
+	  semantics - ELS completions worked for the wrong reasons.  Also
+	  provided new log message number - had two 0326 entries.
+	* Removed unused #define LPFC_SCSI_INITIAL_BPL_SIZE.
+	* Removed unused struct lpfc_node_farp_pend definition.
+	* Removed unused #define LPFC_SLIM2_PAGE_AREA.
+	* Changed zeros used as pointers to NULL.
+	* Removed unneeded braces around single line in lpfc_do_work.
+	* Close humongous memory leak in lpfc_sli.c - driver was losing 13
+	  iocbq structures per LIP.
+	* Removed last of GFP_ATOMIC allocations.
+	* Locks are not taken outside of nportdisc, hbadisc, els and most
+	  of the init, sli, mbox and ct groups of functions
+	* Fix comment for lpfc_sli_iocb_cmd_type to fit within 80 columns.
+	* Replaced wait_event() with wait_event_interruptible().
+	  wait_event() puts the woker thread in an UNINTERRUPTIBLE state
+	  causing it to figure in load average calculations. Also add a
+	  BUG_ON to the ret code of wait_event_interruptible() since the
+	  premise is that the worker thread is signal-immune.
+
+Changes from 20050208 to 20050215
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.24
+	* Fixed a memory leak of iocbq structure.  For ELS solicited iocbs
+	  sli layer now frees the response iocbs after processing it.
+	* Closed large memory leak -- we were losing 13 iocbq structures
+	  per LIP.
+	* Changing EIO and ENOMEM to -EIO and -ENOMEM respectively.
+	* Cleanup of lpfc_sli_iocb_cmd_type array and typing of iocb type.
+	* Implemented Christoph Hellwig's feedback from 02/05: Remove
+	  macros putLunHigh, putLunLow. Use lpfc_put_lun() inline instead.
+	* Integrated Christoph Hellwig's feedback from 02/05: Instead of
+	  cpu_to_be32(), use swab16((uint16_t)lun). This is the same as
+	  "swab16() on LE" and "<<16 on BE".
+	* Added updates for revised FC remote port patch (dev_loss_tmo
+	  moved to rport, hostdata renamed dd_data, add fc_remote_host()
+	  on shutdown).
+	* Removed unnecessary function prototype.
+	* Added code to prevent waking up worker thread after the exit of
+	  worker thread.  Fixes panic seen with insmod/rmmod testing with
+	  70 disks.
+	* Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: Make some
+	  variables/code static (namely lpfcAlpaArray and
+	  process_nodev_timeout()).
+	* Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: Use
+	  switch...case instead of if...else if...else if while decoding
+	  JDEC id.
+
+Changes from 20050201 to 20050208
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.23
+	* Make lpfc_work_done, lpfc_get_scsi_buf,
+	  lpfc_mbx_process_link_up, lpfc_mbx_issue_link_down and
+	  lpfc_sli_chipset_init static.
+	* Cleaned up references to list_head->next field in the driver.
+	* Replaced lpfc_discq_post_event with lpfc_workq_post_event.
+	* Implmented Christoph Hellwig's review from 2/5: Check for return
+	  values of kmalloc.
+	* Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: Protecting
+	  scan_tmo and friends in !FC_TRANSPORT_PATCHES_V2 &&
+	  !USE_SCAN_TARGET.
+	* Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: Some fixes in
+	  the evt handling area.
+	* Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: Remove usage of
+	  intr_inited variable. The interrupt initilization from OS side
+	  now happens in lpfc_probe_one().
+	* Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: remove shim
+	  lpfc_alloc_transport_attr - remove shim lpfc_alloc_shost_attrs -
+	  remove shim lpfc_scsi_host_init - allocate phba mem in scsi's
+	  hostdata readjust code so that they are no use after free's
+	  (don't use after scsi_host_put) - make lpfc_alloc_sysfs_attr
+	  return errors
+	* Fixed panic in lpfc_probe_one(). Do not delete in a list
+	  iterator that is not safe.
+	* Clean up fast lookup array of the fcp_ring when aborting iocbs.
+	* Following timeout handlers moved to the lpfc worker thread:
+	  lpfc_disc_timeout, lpfc_els_timeout, lpfc_mbox, lpfc_fdmi_tmo,
+	  lpfc_nodev_timeout, lpfc_els_retry_delay.
+	* Removed unused NLP_NS_NODE #define.
+	* Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: remove unused
+	  lpfc_hba_list; remove unused lpfc_rdrev_wd30; remove
+	  lpfc_get_brd_no and use Linux provided IDR.
+	* Changed board reset procedure so that lpfc_sli_send_reset()
+	  writes the INITFF bit and leaves lpfc_sli_brdreset() to clear
+	  the bit.
+	* Removed outfcpio sysfs device attribute.
+	* VPD changes: 1) Modify driver to use the model name and
+	  description from the VPD data if it exists 2) Rework use of DUMP
+	  mailbox command to support HBAs with 256 bytes of SLIM.
+	* Fixed compile error for implicit definition of struct
+	  scsi_target
+
+Changes from 20050124 to 20050201
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.22
+	* Moved discovery timeout handler to worker thread. There are
+	  function calls in this function which are not safe to call from
+	  HW interrupt context.
+	* Removed free_irq from the error path of HBA initialization.
+	  This will fix the free of uninitialised IRQ when config_port
+	  fails.
+	* Make sure function which processes unsolicited IOCBs on ELS ring
+	  still is called with the lock held.
+	* Clear LA bit from work_ha when we are not supposed to handle LA.
+	* Fix double locking bug in the error handling part of
+	  lpfc_mbx_cmpl_read_la.
+	* Implemented fast IOCB processing for FCP ring.
+	* Since mboxes are now unconditionally allocated outside of the
+	  lock, free them in cases where they are not used.
+	* Moved out a couple of GFP_ATOMICs in lpfc_disc_timeout, to
+	  before locks so that they can GFP_KERNEL instead. Also cleaned
+	  up code.
+	* Collapsed interrupt handling code into one function.
+	* Removed event posting and handling of solicited and unsolicited
+	  iocbs.
+	* Remove ELS ring handling leftovers from the lpfc_sli_inter().
+	* ELS ring (any slow ring) moved from the lpfc_sli_inter() into a
+	  worker thread.  Link Attention, Mbox Attention, and Error
+	  Attention, as well as slow rings' attention is passed to the
+	  worker thread via worker thread copy of Host Attention
+	  register. Corresponding events are removed from the event queue
+	  handling.
+	* Add entries to hba structure to delegate some functionality from
+	  the lpfc_sli_inter() to a worker thread.
+	* Reduced used of GFP_ATOMIC for memory allocations.
+	* Moved locks deeper in order to change GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_KERNEL.
+	* IOCB initialization fix for Raw IO.
+	* Removed qcmdcnt, iodonecnt, errcnt from lpfc_target and from
+	  driver.
+	* Added call to lpfc_els_abort in lpfc_free_node.  Modified
+	  lpfc_els_abort to reset txq and txcmplq iterator after a
+	  iocb_cmpl call.
+	* Fixed a use after free issue in lpfc_init.c.
+	* Defined default mailbox completion routine and removed code in
+	  the sli layer which checks the mbox_cmpl == 0 to free mail box
+	  resources.
+	* In lpfc_workq_post_event, clean up comment formatting and remove
+	  unneeded cast of kmalloc's return.
+	* Removed loop which calls fc_remote_port_unblock and
+	  fc_remote_port_delete for every target as this same effect is
+	  accomplished by the scsi_remove_host call.
+	* Minor cleanup of header files.  Stop header files including
+	  other header files.  Removed sentinels which hide multiple
+	  inclusions.  Removed unneeded #include directives.
+	* Fixed memory leaks in mailbox error paths.
+	* Moved lock from around of lpfc_work_done to lpfc_work_done
+	  itself.
+	* Removed typedef for LPFC_WORK_EVT_t and left just struct
+	  lpfc_work_evt to comply with linux_scsi review coding style.
+	* Fixed some trailing whitespaces, spaces used for indentation and
+	  ill-formatting multiline comments.
+	* Bug fix for Raw IO errors.  Reuse of IOCBs now mandates setting
+	  of ulpPU and fcpi_parm to avoid incorrect read check of Write IO
+	  and incorrect read length.
+
+Changes from 20050110 to 20050124
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.21
+	* Removed unpleasant casting in the definition and use of
+	  lpfc_disc_action function pointer array.
+	* Makefile cleanup.  Use ?= operator for setting default
+	  KERNELVERSION and BASEINCLUDE values.  Use $(PWD) consistently.
+	* Removed call to lpfc_sli_intr from lpfc_config_port_post.  All
+	  Linux systems will service hardware interrupts while bringing up
+	  the driver.
+	* Christoph Hellwig change request: Reorg of contents of
+	  lpfc_hbadisc.c, lpfc_scsi.h, lpfc_init.c, lpfc_sli.c,
+	  lpfc_attr.c, lpfc_scsi.c.
+	* Renamed discovery thread to lpfc_worker thread.  Moved handling
+	  of error attention and link attention and mbox event handler to
+	  lpfc_worker thread.
+	* Removed .proc_info and .proc_name from the driver template and
+	  associated code.
+	* Removed check of FC_UNLOADING flag in lpfc_queuecommand to
+	  determine what result to return.
+	* Move modification of FC_UNLOADING flag under host_lock.
+	* Fix IOERR_RCV_BUFFER_WAITING handling for CT and ELS subsystem.
+	* Workaround firmware bug for IOERR_RCV_BUFFER_WAITING on ELS
+	  ring.
+	* Fixed a couple lpfc_post_buffer problems in lpfc_init.c.
+	* Add missing spaces to the parameter descriptions for
+	  lpfc_cr_delay, lpfc_cr_count and lpfc_discovery_threads.
+	* Lock before calling lpfc_sli_hba_down().
+	* Fix leak of "host" in the error path in the remove_one() path.
+	* Fix comment for lpfc_cr_count.  It defaults to 1.
+	* Fix issue where we are calling lpfc_disc_done() recursively from
+	  lpfc_linkdown(), but list_for_each_entry_safe() is not safe for
+	  such use.
+	* Bump lpfc_discovery_threads (count of outstading ELS commands in
+	  discovery) to 32
+	* If the SCSI midlayer tries to recover from an error on a lun
+	  while the corresponding target is in the NPR state, lpfc driver
+	  will reject all the resets. This will cause the target to be
+	  moved to offline state and block all the I/Os. The fix for this
+	  is to delay the lun reset to a target which is not in MAPPED
+	  state until the target is rediscovered or nodev timeout is
+	  fired.
+
+Changes from 20041229 to 20050110
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.20
+	* rport fix: use new fc_remote_port_rolechg() function instead of
+	  direct structure change
+	* rport fix: last null pointer check
+	* Phase II of GFP_ATOMIC effort.  Replaced iocb_mem_pool and
+	  scsibuf_mem_pool with kmalloc and linked list.  Inserted list
+	  operations for mempool_alloc calls.  General code cleanup.  All
+	  abort and reset routines converted.  Handle_ring_event
+	  converted.
+	* If the mbox_cmpl == lpfc_sli_wake_mbox_wait in
+	  lpfc_sli_handle_mb_event, pmb->context1 points to a waitq. Do
+	  not free the structure.
+	* rport fixes: fix for rmmod crash
+	* rport fixes: when receiving PRLI's, set node/rport role values
+	* rport fixes: fix for unload and for fabric port deletes
+	* VPD info bug fix.
+	* lpfc_linkdown() should be able to process all outstanding events
+	  by calling lpfc_disc_done() even if it is called from
+	  lpfc_disc_done() Moving all events from phba->dpc_disc to local
+	  local_dpc_disc prevents those events from being processed.
+	  Removing that queue. From now on we should not see "Illegal
+	  State Transition" messages.
+	* Release host lock and enable interrupts when calling
+	  del_timer_sync()
+	* All related to rports: Clean up issues with rport deletion
+	  Convert to using block/unblock on list remove (was del/add)
+	  Moved rport delete to freenode - so rport tracks node.
+	* rport fixes: for fport, get maxframe and class support
+	  information
+	* Added use of wait_event to work with kthread interface.
+	* Ensure that scsi_transport_fc.h is always pulled in by
+	  lpfc_scsiport.c
+	* In remote port changes: no longer nulling target->pnode when
+	  removing from mapped list. Pnode get nulled when the node is
+	  freed (after nodev tmo). This bug was causing i/o received in
+	  the small window while the device was blocked to be errored w/
+	  did_no_connect. With the fix, it returns host_busy
+	  (per the pre-remote port changes).
+	* Merge in support for fc transport remote port use. This removes
+	  any consistent bindings within the driver. All scanning is now
+	  on a per-target basis driven by the discovery engine.
+
+Changes from 20041220 to 20041229
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.19
+	* Fixed bug for handling RSCN type 3.  Terminate RSCN mode
+	  properly after ADISC handling completes.
+	* Add list_remove_head macro.  Macro cleans up memory allocation
+	  list handling.  Also clean up lpfc_reset_bus_handler - routine
+	  does not need to allocate its own scsi_cmnd and scsi_device
+	  structures.
+	* Fixed potential discovery bug, nlp list corrutpion fix potential
+	  memory leak
+	* Part 1 of the memory allocation rework request by linux-scsi.
+	  This effort fixes the number of bdes per scsi_buf to 64, makes
+	  the scatter-gather count a module parameter, builds a linked
+	  list of scsi_bufs, and removes all dependencies on lpfc_mem.h.
+	* Reverted lpfc_do_dpc, probe_one, remove_one to original
+	  implementation.  Too many problems (driver not completing
+	  initial discovery, and IO not starting to disks).  Backs out
+	  kthread patch.
+	* Fix race condition in lpfc_do_dpc.  If wake_up interrupt occurs
+	  while lpfc_do_dpc is running disc_done and the dpc list is
+	  empty, the latest insertion is missed and the schedule_timeout
+	  does not wakeup.  The sleep interval is MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT
+	  defined as ~0UL >> 1, a very large number.  Hacked it to 5*HZ
+	  for now.
+	* Fixed bug introduced when discovery thread implementation was
+	  moved to kthread. kthread_stop() is not able to wake up thread
+	  waiting on a semaphore and "modprobe -r lpfc" is not always
+	  (most of the times) able to complete. Fix is in not using
+	  semaphore for the interruptable sleep.
+	* Small Makefile cleanup - Remove remnants of 2.4 vs. 2.6
+	  determination.
+
+Changes from 20041213 to 20041220
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.18
+	* Janitorial cleanup after removal of sliinit and ringinit[] ring
+	  statistic is owned by the ring and SLI stats are in sli
+	  structure.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Kill
+	  compile warnings on 64 bit platforms: %variables for %llx format
+	  specifiers must be caste to long long because %(u)int64_t can
+	  just be long on 64bit platforms.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Removes
+	  dead code.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>: use
+	  kthread interface.
+	* Print LPFC_MODULE_DESC banner in module init routine.
+	* Removed sliinit structure and ringinit[] array.
+	* Changed log message number from 324 to 326 in lpfc_sli.c.
+	* Wait longer for commands to complete in lpfc_reset_bus_handler
+	  and lpfc_reset_bus_handler.  Also use schedule_timeout() instead
+	  of msleep() and add error message in lpfc_abort_handler()
+	* When setting lpfc_nodev_tmo, from dev_loss set routine, make 1
+	  sec minimum value.
+	* Functions which assume lock being held were called without lock
+	  and kernel complained about unlocking lock which is not locked.
+	* Added code in linkdown to unreg if we know login session will be
+	  terminated.
+	* Removed automap config parameter and fixed up use_adisc logic to
+	  include FCP2 devices.
+
+Changes from 20041207 to 20041213
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.17
+	* Fix sparse warnings by adding __iomem markers to lpfc_compat.h.
+	* Fix some sparse warnings -- 0 used as NULL pointer.
+	* Make sure there's a space between every if and it's (.
+	* Fix some overly long lines and make sure hard tabs are used for
+	  indentation.
+	* Remove all trailing whitespace.
+	* Integrate Christoph Hellwig's patch for 8.0.14: if
+	  pci_module_init fails we need to release the transport template.
+ 	  (also don't print the driver name at startup, linux drivers can
+	  be loaded without hardware present, and noise in the log for
+	  that case is considered unpolite, better print messages only for
+	  hardware actually found).
+	* Integrate Christoph Hellwig's patch for 8.0.14: Add missing
+	  __iomem annotations, remove broken casts, mark functions static.
+	  Only major changes is chaning of some offsets from word-based to
+	  byte-based so we cans simply do void pointer arithmetics (gcc
+	  extension) instead of casting to uint32_t.
+	* Integrate Christoph Hellwig's patch for 8.0.14: flag is always
+	  LPFC_SLI_ABORT_IMED, aka 0 - remove dead code.
+	* Modified preprocessor #ifdef, #if, #ifndef to reflect upstream
+	  kernel submission.  Clean build with make clean;make and make
+	  clean;make ADVANCED=1 on SMP x86, 2.6.10-rc2 on RHEL 4 Beta
+	  1. IO with a few lips and a long cable pull behaved accordingly.
+	* Implement full VPD support.
+	* Abort handler will try to wait for abort completion before
+	  returning.  Fixes some panics in iocb completion code path.
+
+Changes from 20041130 to 20041207
+	
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.16
+	* Hung dt session fix.  When the midlayer calls to abort a scsi
+	  command, make sure the driver does not complete post-abort
+	  handler.  Just NULL the iocb_cmpl callback handler and let SLI
+	  take over.
+	* Add Read check that uses SLI option to validate all READ data
+	  actually received.
+
+
+Changes from 20041123 to 20041130
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.15
+	* Ifdef'd unused "binary" attributes by DFC_DEBUG for clean
+	  compiles
+	* Stop DID_ERROR from showing up along with QUEUE_FULL set by the
+	  Clarion array (SCSI error ret. val.  0x70028) There is no need
+	  for driver to hard fail command which was failed by the target
+	  device.
+	* Fix for Scsi device scan bug reported on SourceForge.  Driver
+	  was returning a DID_ERROR in lpfc_handle_fcp_error causing
+	  midlayer to mark report luns as failing even though it
+	  succeeded.
+	* Don't ignore SCSI status on underrun conditions for inquiries,
+	  test unit ready's, etc.  This was causing us to lose
+	  reservation conflicts, etc
+
+Changes from 20041018 to 20041123
+	
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.14
+	* Added new function "iterator" lpfc_sli_next_iocb_slot() which
+	  returns pointer to iocb entry at cmdidx if queue is not full.
+	  It also updates next_cmdidx, and local_getidx (but not cmdidx)
+	* lpfc_sli_submit_iocb() copies next_cmdidx into cmdidx. Now it is
+	  the only place were we are updating cmdidx.
+	* lpfc_sli_update_ring() is split in to two --
+	  lpfc_sli_update_ring() and lpfc_sli_update_full_ring().
+	* lpfc_sli_update_ring() don't to read back correct value of
+	  cmdidx.
+	* Simplified lpfc_sli_resume_iocb() and its use.
+	* New static function lpfc_sli_next_iocb(phba, pring, &piocb) to
+	  iterate through commands in the TX queue and new command (at the
+	  end).
+	* Reduced max_lun to 256 (due to issues reported to some arrays).
+	  Fixed comment, and macro values so def=256, min=1, max=32768.
+	* Fix an obvious typo/bug: kfree was used to free lpfc_scsi_buf
+	  instead of mempool_free in lpfc_scsiport.c.
+	* Suppress nodev_tmo message for FABRIC nodes.
+	* Fixed some usage of plain integer as NULL pointer.
+	* Bug fix for FLOGI cmpl, lpfc_els_chk_latt error path code
+	  cleanup.
+	* Fixup lpfc_els_chk_latt() to have Fabric NPorts go thru
+	  discovery state machine as well.
+	* Fixes to lpfc_els_chk_latt().
+	* Use DID not SCSI target id as a port_id and add some missing
+	  locks in lpfc_fcp.c.
+	* Changed eh_abort_handler to return FAILED if command is not
+	  found in driver.
+	* Fix crash: paging request at virtual address 0000000000100108 -
+	  a result of removing from the txcmpl list item which was already
+	  removed (100100 is a LIST_POISON1 value from the next pointer
+	  and 8 is an offset of the "prev") Driver runs out of iotags and
+	  does not handle that case well. The root of the proble is in the
+	  initialization code in lpfc_sli.c
+	* Changes to work with proposed linux kernel patch to support
+	  hotplug.
+	* Zero out seg_cnt in prep_io failure path to prevent double sg
+	  unmap calls.
+	* Fix setting of upper 32 bits for Host Group Ring Pointers if in
+	  SLIM. Old code was inappropriately masking off low order bits.
+	* Use scsi_[activate|deactivate]_tcq calls provided in scsi_tcq.h.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig (hch@lst.de): don't call
+	  pci_dma_sync_* on coherent memory. pci_dma_sync_* is need and
+	  must be used only with streaming dma mappings pci_map_*, not
+	  coherent mappings.  Note: There are more consistent mappings
+	  that are using pci_dma_sync calls. Probably these should be
+	  removed as well.
+	* Modified lpfc_free_scsi_buf to accommodate all three scsi_buf
+	  free types to alleviate miscellaneous panics with cable pull
+	  testing.
+	* Set hotplug to default 0 and lpfc_target_remove to not remove
+	  devices unless hotplug is enabled.
+	* Fixed discovery bug: plogi cmpl uses ndlp after its freed.
+	* Fixed discovery bug: rnid acc cmpl, can potentially use ndlp
+	  after its freed.
+	* Modularize code path in lpfc_target_remove().
+	* Changes to support SCSI hotplug (ifdef'ed out because they need
+	  kernel support USE_SCAN_TARGET requires kernel support to export
+	  the interface to scsi_scan_target and to move the SCAN_WILD_CARD
+	  define to a general scsi header file.  USE_RESCAN_HOST requires
+	  kernel support to export an interface to scan_scsi_host() with
+	  the rescan flag turned on).
+	* Removed redundant variable declaration of lpfc_linkdown_tmo.
+	* Fix for large port count remove test.
+	* Added check to see if BAR1 register is valid before using BAR1
+	  register for programming config_port mail box command.
+	* Added lpfc_scsi_hotplug to enable/disable driver support of SCSI
+	  hotplug.
+	* Changed lpfc_disc_neverdev() to lpfc_disc_illegal() and changed
+	  lpfc_disc_nodev() to lpfc_disc_noop().  Adjusted appropriate
+	  events to use these routines.
+	* Add support for SCSI device hotplug.
+	* Take dummy lpfc_target's into account for lpfc_slave_destroy().
+	* Bug fix to store WWPN / WWNN in NameServer / FDMI lpfc_nodelist
+	  entries.
+	* Added slavecnt in lpfc_target for diagnostic purposes.
+	* Added lpfc_hba load/unload flags to take care of special cases
+	  for add/remove device.
+	* Have target add/remove delay before scanning.
+	* Have rmmod path cleanup blocked devices before scsi_remove_host.
+	* Added a #define for msleep for 2.6.5 kernels.
+	* In reset bus handler if memory allocation fails, return FAILED
+	  and not SUCCESS.
+	* Have lpfc eh handlers, bus_reset and lun_reset, wait for all
+	  associated I/Os to complete before returning.
+	* Fix memset byte count in lpfc_hba_init so that
+	  LP1050 would initialize correctly.
+	* Backround nodev_timeout processing to DPC This enables us to
+	  unblock (stop dev_loss_tmo) when appopriate.
+	* Fix array discovery with multiple luns.  The max_luns was 0 at
+	  the time the host structure was initialized.  lpfc_cfg_params
+	  then set the max_luns to the correct value afterwards.
+	* Remove unused define LPFC_MAX_LUN and set the default value of
+	  lpfc_max_lun parameter to 512.
+	* Reduced stack usage of lpfc_hba_init.
+	* Cleaned up the following warning generated by
+	  scripts/checkincludes.pl lpfc_fcp.c: scsi/scsi_cmnd.h is
+	  included more than once.
+	* Replaced "set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
+	  schedule_timeout(timeout)" with "msleep(timeout)".
+	* Fixnode was losing starget when rediscovered. We saw messages
+	  like: lpfc 0000:04:02.0: 0:0263 Cannot block scsi target as a
+	  result.  Moved starget field into struct lpfc_target which is
+	  referenced from the node.
+	* Add additional SLI layer logging in lpfc_sli.c.
+	* Ignore more unexpected completions in lpfc_nportdisc.c.
+	* Can not call lpfc_target_unblock from the soft interrupt
+	  context.  It seems to be not nessasery to unblock target from
+	  nodev timeout.
+	* Introduce and use less lethal event handler for unexpected
+	  events in lpfc_nportdisc.c.
+	* Can not call fc_target_(un)block() functions with interrupts
+	  disabled in lpfc_scsiport.c.
+	* Added new configuration parameter, lpfc_max_luns range 1-32768,
+	  default 32768.
+	* Allow lpfc_fcp.c to call lpfc_get_hba_sym_node_name().
+	* Increase nodev timeout from 20 seconds to 30 seconds.
+	* Replace some kfree((void*)ptr) with kfree(ptr).
+	* Make 3 functions static: lpfc_get_hba_sym_node_name,
+	  lpfc_intr_prep and lpfc_setup_slim_access.  Move lpfc_intr_prep
+	  and lpfc_setup_slim_access so they're defined before being used.
+	* Remove an unnecessary list_del() in lpfc_hbadisc.c.
+	* Set nlp_state before calling lpfc_nlp_list() since this will
+	  potentially call fc_target_unblock which may cause a race in
+	  queuecommand by releasing host_lock.
+	* Since lpfc_nodev_tmo < dev_loss_tmo remove queuecommand
+	  DID_BAD_TARGET return for now.
+	* Fix a problem with rcv logo.
+	* Remove unused portstatistics_t structure.
+	* Remove #if 0 and unnecessary checks in lpfc_fcp.c.
+	* Simplify lpfc_issue_lip: Extra layer of protection removed.
+	* Grab lock before calling lpfc_sli_issue_mbox(phba, pmb,
+	  MBX_NOWAIT) in lpfc_sli_issue_mbox_wait().
+
+Changes from 20040920 to 20041018
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.13
+	* Hide some attributes using #ifndef DFC_DEBUG ... #endif.
+	* Modify Makefile to (1) make BUILD_NO_DEBUG=1 will hide some
+	  (binary) attributes (2) make BUILD_FC_TRANS=0 will build driver
+	  for 2.6.5 kernel with block/unblock patch.
+	* Modified #ifdef names.
+	* Added support for proposed FC transport host attributes (which
+	  replaces some of the attributes we had local to the driver).
+	  Removed the binary statistics sysfs attribute.
+	* Added extra ELS verbose logging for ELS responses.
+	* Added recognition for BUILD_FC_TRANS=2 to Makefile to define
+	  FC_TRANS_VER2.
+	* Add a pointer for link stats allocation.
+	* Exported lpfc_get_hba_sym_node_name for use by FC_TRANS_VER2
+	  sysfs routines.
+	* Fix discovery problem in lip testing: if device sends an ELS cmd
+	  (i.e. LOGO) before our FLOGI completes it should be LS_RJT'ed.
+	* Moved #defines around to provide target_add/remove for upstream
+	  kernel deliverables only not SLES9.  Provided ifdefs to #include
+	  target_block/unblock only if FC_TRANS_VER1.
+	* Add sanity check in lpfc_nlp_list move setting nlp_Target
+	  outside #ifdef.
+	* Added a blocked member to the lpfc_target structure for
+	  block/unblock.  This member allows the driver to know when to
+	  unblock for pci_remove_one or pci_add_one.  #ifdef'd some more
+	  block/unblock stuff and removed some defensive checks from
+	  target_block/unblock.
+	* Moved + 5 second window to dev_loss_tmo setting and updated
+	  comments.
+	* Removed NULL target check from target_block/unblock and fixed up
+	  a few comments.
+	* Enable sysfs attributes on 2.6.5 kernels and remove extra
+	  compatibility code.
+	* Remove any and all trailing whitespace.
+	* Added message 0718 and return error when dma_map_single fails.
+	* Changed the fcpCntl2 commands to include an FCP_ prefix to get
+	  rid of build warnings on later 2.6.9-rc kernels.  Build
+	  conflicts with scsi/scsi.h.  Remove inclusions of scsi/scsi.h
+	  from hbadisc.c, sli.c, and fcp.c since these modules had no
+	  dependencies on scsi.h.
+	* Fixed a bug with RSCN handling. A RSCN received on one device,
+	  shouldn't affect other devices not referenced by the RSCN.
+	* Moved #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,6) to include
+	  lpfc_jedec_to_ascii to prevent warning in SLES 9.
+	* Update Makefile to account for SLES 9 and scsi-target upstream
+	  kernel.
+	* This checkin provides block/unblock hooks for the upstream scsi
+	  target kernel and 2.6.5 on SLES9 SP1 with the block/unblock
+	  patch.
+	* Discovery changes regarding setting targetp->pnode and
+	  ndlp->nlp_Target Ensure fc_target_* routines are called properly
+	  from discovery.  Remove list_del's from lpfc_cleanup().  Ensure
+	  all the lpfc_consistent_bind_* routines don't set any driver
+	  structure objects.
+	* Fix for timeout of READ_LA or READ_SPARAM mailbox command
+	  causing panic.
+	* Cleanup list_del()'s for Discovery ndlp lists.
+	* Bug fixes for some insmod/rmmod crashes, link down crashes and
+	  device loss crashes.
+	* Removed NLP_SEARCH_DEQUE.
+	* Call lpfc_target_unblock only if the targetp is nonNull and with
+	  the host_lock held.
+	* Added qcmdcnt back along with misc bug fixes to discovery.
+	* Changed tgt_io to outfcpio lpfc_fcp.c.
+	* Fixed errors caused by LIP and cable pulls both with and without
+	  block/unblock patch.
+	* For now we have to call fc_target_unblock and fc_target_block
+	  with interrupts enabled.
+	* Save seg_cnt from dma_map_sg.  Save scatter-gather start address
+	  and pass back to dma_unmap_sg in error with seg_cnt.
+	* Incorporating block/unblock calls into driver with ifdefs.  This
+	  change is supported by scsi-target-2.6 kernel and forward only.
+	* Merged in some discovery bug fixes and added tgt io counters.
+	* Added sysfs attributes/interfaces: read only attribute
+	  "management_version" and write only attribute "issue_lip".
+	* Fix build on big endian machines: while #if was OK with
+	  __BIG_ENDIAN which defined as 4321, __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD has to
+	  be tested with #ifdef because it does not have any value, it is
+	  either defined or not.
+	* Add fabric_name and port_type attributes.
+	* Change mdelay to msleep.  mdelay works, but wastefully uses cpu
+	  resources without a lock held. Revert to msleep.  Tested with
+	  sg_reset for bus and three attached targets.
+	* Added the customary #ifndef...#define...#endif to
+	  lpfc_version.h.
+	* Integrate patches from Christoph Hellwig: two new helpers common
+	  to lpfc_sli_resume_iocb and lpfc_sli_issue_iocb - singificant
+	  cleanup of those two functions - the unused SLI_IOCB_USE_TXQ is
+	  gone - lpfc_sli_issue_iocb_wait loses its flags argument
+	  totally.
+	* Fix in lpfc_sli.c: we can not store a 5 bit value in a 4-bit
+	  field.
+	* Moved some routines out of lpfc_fcp.c into more appropriate
+	  files.
+	* Whitespace cleanup: remove all trailing whitespace.
+	* Make lpfc_disc_ndlp_show static to lpfc_fcp.c.
+	* Remove leftover printk and replace some with
+	  printk(KERN_WARNING)
+	* Trivial: fix a few long lines and a soft tab.
+	* Remove warnings generated by Sparse against driver (make
+	  C=1). Mostly these are "using integer as pointer warnings"
+	  i.e. use NULL instead of 0.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: Quite a lot of changes
+	  here, the most notable is that the phba->slim2p lpfc_dmabuf goes
+	  away in favour of a typede pointer and a dma_addr_t.  Due to the
+	  typed pointer lots of the cast mess can go away, and while at it
+	  I also replaced the messy SLI2_SLIM_t with a simple struct
+	  lpfc2_sli2_slim that only contains the part of the union we care
+	  about while using SLI2_SLIM_SIZE for all size calculations
+	  directly.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: This streamlines the
+	  I/O completion path a little more, especially taking care of
+	  fast-pathing the non-error case.  Also removes tons of dead
+	  members and defines from lpfc_scsi.h - e.g. lpfc_target is down
+	  to nothing more than the lpfc_nodelist pointer.
+	* Added binary sysfs file to issue mbox commands
+	* Replaced #if __BIG_ENDIAN with #if __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD for
+	  compatibility with the user space applications.
+	* Decrease the amount of data in proc_info.
+	* Condense nodelist flag members.
+	* Expand INFO for discovery sysfs shost entries.
+	* Notify user if information exceeds 4k sysfs limit.
+	* Removed a bunch of unused #defines.
+	* Added initial sysfs discovery shost attributes.
+	* Remove unused #defines lpfc_disc.h.
+	* Fixed failMask nodelist settings.
+	* Cleanup some old comments / unused variables.
+	* Add LP101 to list of recognized adapters.
+
+Changes from 20040908 to 20040920
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.12
+	* Removed used #defines: DEFAULT_PCI_LATENCY_CLOCKS and
+	  PCI_LATENCY_VALUE from lpfc_hw.h.
+	* Changes to accommodate rnid.
+	* Fix RSCN handling so RSCN NS queries only effect NPorts found in
+	  RSCN data.
+	* If we rcv a plogi on a NPort queued up for discovery, clear the
+	  NLP_NPR_2B_DISC bit since rcv plogi logic will force NPort thru
+	  discovery.
+	* Ensure lpfc_target is also cleaned up in lpfc_cleanup().
+	* Preliminary changes for block/unblock kernel API extensions in
+	  progress with linux-scsi list.  These are name changes and
+	  prototype changes only.
+	* Added send_abts flag to lpfc_els_abort. For rcv LOGO when ADISC
+	  sent, the XRI of the LOGO rcv'ed is the same as the ADISC
+	  sent. Thus we cannot ABTS the ADISC before sending the LOGO ACC.
+	* Weed out some unused fc_flags.  Add FC_DISC_TMO.
+	* board_online sysfs attribute added to support libdfc functions
+	  InitDiagEnv and SetBrdEnv.
+	* Streamline code in lpfc_els_retry fixup abort case in
+	  lpfc_els_timeout_handler().
+	* Flush discovery/ELS events when we bring SLI layer down.
+	* ctlreg and slimem binary attributes added to support libdfc
+	  read/write mem/ctl functions.
+	* Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch: Cleanup
+	  lpfc_sli_ringpostbuf_get.
+	* Modified lpfc_slave_alloc and lpfc_slave_destroy to allocate and
+	  free a dummy target pointer.  This allows queuecommand to skip
+	  the NULL target pointer check and avoid the console spam when
+	  slave_alloc fails.
+	* Fix cfg_scan_down logic, it was reversed.
+	* Init list head ctrspbuflist.
+	* Change name of lpfc_driver_abort to lpfc_els_abort since it is
+	  only valid for ELS ring.
+	* Remove unused third argument for lpfc_consistent_bind_get().
+	* Fix up iotag fields in lpfc_prep_els_iocb().
+	* Remove log message on code path triggered by lpfc_els_abort().
+	* Set host->unique_id in lpfc_fcp.c.
+	* Removed deadwood: lpfc_target.pHba not necessary anymore.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: remove dead
+	  SLI_IOCB_POLL handling.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: Streamline I/O
+	  submission and completion path a little.
+	* Remove unnecessary lpfc_brd_no.  Ensure brd_no assignment is
+	  unique.
+	* Removed unused MAX_FCP_LUN.
+	* Use mod_timer instead of add_timer for fdmi in lpfc_ct.c.
+	* Fixed misc discovery problems.
+	* Move stopping timers till just before lpfc_mem_free() call.
+	* Fix up NameServer reglogin error path.
+	* Cleanup possible outstanding discovery timers on rmmod.
+	* Fix discovery NPort to NPort pt2pt problem.
+	* Get rid of ip_tmofunc / scsi_tmofunc.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig:
+	  lpfc_disc_done/lpfc_do_dpc cleanup - lpfc_disc_done can return
+	  void - move lpfc_do_dpc and lpfc_disc_done to lpfc_hbadisc.c -
+	  remove checking of list emptiness before calling lpfc_disc_done,
+	  it handles the empty list case just fine and the additional
+	  instructions cost less then the bustlocked spinlock operations.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: This adds a new 64bit
+	  counter instead, brd_no isn't reused anymore.  Also some tiny
+	  whitespace cleanups in surrounding code.
+	* Reorder functions in lpfc_els.c to remove need for prototypes.
+	* Removed unused prototypes from lpfc_crtn.h -
+	  lpfc_ip_timeout_handler, lpfc_read_pci and lpfc_revoke.
+	* Removed some unused prototypes from lpfc_crtn.h -
+	  lpfc_scsi_hba_reset, lpfc_scsi_issue_inqsn,
+	  lpfc_scsi_issue_inqp0, lpfc_scsi_timeout_handler.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: remove TRUE/FALSE
+	  usage.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: Remove unused function
+	  prototypes lpfc_set_pkt_len and lpfc_get_pkt_data from
+	  lpfc_crtn.h - fixes build warnings.
+	* Removed unused struct lpfc_dmabufip definition from lpfc_mem.h.
+	* Removed pre-2.6.5 MODULE_VERSION macro from lpfc_compat.h.
+	* Fixing missing static and removing dead code.
+	* Adding nodewwn, portwwn and portfcid shost attributes.
+	* Initial support for CT via sysfs. request payloads of size less
+	  than PAGE_SIZE and rsp payloads of size PAGE_SIZE are supported.
+	  Driver maintains a list of rsp's and passes back rsp's
+	  corresponding to the pid of the calling process.
+	* Support for RefreshInformation, GetAdapterAttributes,
+	  GetPortStatistics.
+	* Make nodev-tmo default to 20 seconds.
+	* Fix up some DSM error cases, unreg_login rpi where needed.
+	* Fix up comments for fc_target_block / fc_target_unblock.
+	* Fix up code for scsi_block_requests / scsi_unblock_requests.
+	* Add NLP_FCP_TARGET for nodeinfo support.
+	* Move suspend/resume in lpfc_nlp_list under appropriate case -
+	  Used host_lock for DPC to avoid race (remove dpc_lock)
+	* Fix some corner cases for PLOGI receive - simplify error case
+	  for cmpl_reglogin_reglogin_issue.
+	* Bug fix for ppc64 EEH MMIO panic - always do readl after
+	  writel's of HBA registers to force flush.
+	* Get rid of initial static routine declarations in lpfc_hbadisc.c
+	  and lpfc_els.c.
+	* Updates to discovery processing.
+
+Changes from 20040823 to 20040908
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.11
+	* Removed persistent binding code.
+	* Display both ASC and ASCQ info.
+	* Fixed link down->up transitions when linkdown tmo expires. Fix
+	  was in the defensive error checking at the start of
+	  queuecommand.
+	* Removed lpfc_scsi_timeout_handler as this timer is no longer
+	  required.  The midlayer will exhaust retries and then call
+	  lpfc_abort_handler, lpfc_reset_lun_handler, and
+	  lpfc_reset_target_handler.
+	* Minimal support for SCSI flat space addressing/volume set
+	  addressing.  Use 16 bits of LUN address so that flat
+	  addressing/VSA will work.
+	* Changed 2 occurrences of if( 1 != f(x)) to if(f(x) != 1)
+	* Drop include of lpfc_cfgparm.h.
+	* Reduce stack usage of lpfc_fdmi_cmd in lpfc_ct.c.
+	* Add minimum range checking property to /sys write/store
+	  functions.
+	* Fix display of node_name and port_name via fc transport
+	  attr.
+	* Removed biosparam code.
+	* Removed range checking. phba->config[] array elements are now
+	  embedded into the hba struct. lpfc_config_setup() has been
+	  removed.
+	* Collapsed lpfc_scsi_cmd_start into lpfc_queuecommand and cleaned
+	  up combined routines.
+	* Removed unused prototypes myprint and
+	  lpfc_sched_service_high_priority_queue.
+	* Removed unused function lpfc_nodev.
+	* Removed scsi_cmnd->timeout_per_command cancelation. SCSI midlayer
+	  now times out all commands - FW is instructed to not timeout.
+	* Removed polling code from lpfc_scsi_cmd_start. Reorganized
+	  queuecommand and cmd_start some.
+
+Changes from 20040810 to 20040823
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.10
+	* Additional timer changes as per Arjan / Christoph's comments.
+	* Used mod_timer() instead of del_timer_sync() where appropriate.
+	* Fixed a use after free case (panic on 2.6.8.1 with
+	  CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB set).
+	* Fix compile warning in lpfc_fcp.c.
+	* Minor fix for log message, that prints unassigned brdno which is
+	  zero.
+	* Move scsi_host_alloc() to the beginning of probe_one(). This
+	  ensures that host_lock is available at later stages and also
+	  avoids tons of unnecessary initializing if host_alloc()
+	  fails.
+	* Removed else clause from lpfc_slave_configure that set
+	  sdev->queue_depth.  The driver informs the midlayer of its
+	  setting in the template and only overrides if queue tagging is
+	  enabled.
+	* Added PCI_DEVICE_ID_ZEPHYR and PCI_DEVICE_ID_ZFLY (Junior
+	  Zephyr) support
+
+Changes from 20040730 to 20040810
+	
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.9
+	* Removed per HBA driver lock.  Driver now uses the host->host_lock
+	* Restored support for the 2.6.5 kernel for those linux distributions
+	  shipped with the 2.6.5 kernel.
+	* Applied patch from Christoph Hellwig (hch@infradead.org) as follows
+	  "[PATCH] use scsi host private data in ->proc_info.  
+	* Applied patch from Christoph Hellwig (hch@infradead.org) as follows
+	  "Re: [Emulex] Ready for next round.  This patch cleans up the memory 
+	  allocation routines a little and fixes a missing mempool_destroy and
+	  some missing error handling."
+	* Changed pointers assignments from 0 to NULL.
+	* Added fixes to the lpfc_reset_lun_handler and lpfc_reset_bus_handler
+	  entry points that caused kernel to Oops or hang.
+	* Added fixes to targetless hosts that caused modprobe and insmod to hang.
+	* Ongoing cleanup to many files
+	  
+Changes from 20040723 to 20040730
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.8
+	* Removed unused LPFN_DRIVER_VERSION #define.
+	* Folded lpfc_findnode_scsiid into lpfc_find_target, its only
+	  caller.
+	* Removed 2 unneeded arguments to lpfc_find_target (lun and
+	  create_flag).
+	* Make lpfc_sli_reset_on_init = 1
+	* Minor cleanup to quieten sparse.
+	* Removed missing function = 0 in tmo routine in lpfc_els.c.
+	* Moved additional binding parameters into lpfc_defaults.c:
+	  lpfc_automap / lpfc_fcp_bind_method
+	* Use msecs_to_jiffies() where applicable.
+	* Only use queue depth attribute only after SLI HBA setup was
+	  completed.
+	* Put in memory barriers for PPC
+	* Added PCI_DEVICE_ID_HELIOS and PCI_DEVICE_ID_JFLY (Junior
+	  Helios) support
+	* Added 4&10 gigabit choices in user option link_speed
+	* Updated timer logic: Set timer data after init_timer use
+	  timer_pending() instead of expires.
+	* Removed some remnants of IP over FC support from Kconfig and
+	  Makefile.
+	* Remove redundant prototypes for lpfc_handle_eratt,
+	  lpfc_handle_latt and lpfc_read_pci.
+	* Ongoing cleanup of lpfc_init.c.
+	* Changed LPFC_CFG_DFT_HBA_Q_DEPTH -> LPFC_CFG_HBA_Q_DEPTH.
+	* Another cleanup stab at lpfc_ct.c. Remove castings, structure
+	  code sanely, remove redundant code, reorganize code so that
+	  functions are invoked after definition.
+
+Changes from 20040716 to 20040723
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.7
+	* Cleanup of lpfc_ct.c. Removed number of casts, removed tons of
+	  dead/redundant code, cleaned up badly and poorly written code,
+	  cleaned up return values.
+	* Fixed Persistent binding implementation
+	* Removed all references to lpfc_scsi_req_tmo
+	* Removed last references to lun_skip config parameter.
+	* Removed LPFC_DEV_RPTLUN node failure bit because we don't issue
+	  REPORT_LUNS from the driver anymore.
+	* Removed LUN-tracking in driver.  Removed lpfc_lun struct and
+	  moved any functionality we still need to lpfc_target.
+	* Added new lpfc_jedec_to_ascii() call and replace two instances
+	  of duplicate code with calls to this function.
+	* Removed Volume Set Addressing handling on LUN IDs.
+	* Applied patch from Christoph Hellwig (hch@infradead.org) that
+	  removes dead code belonging to lpfc_build_scsi_cmnd() and its
+	  call path. This is related to the recently removed report_lun
+	  code.
+
+Changes from 20040709 to 20040716
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.6
+	* Removed internal report LUNs usage.  Removed functions:
+	  lpfc_disc_issue_rptlun, lpfc_disc_cmpl_rptlun,
+	  lpfc_disc_retry_rptlun and their use.
+	* Removed usused scheduler prototypes in lpfc_crtn.h
+	* Replace lpfc_geportname() with generic memcmp().
+	* Rearrange code in lpfc_rcv_plogi_plogi_issue() to make it a
+	  little more readable.
+	* Remove redundant port_cmp != 2 check in if
+	  (!port_cmp) { .... if (port_cmp != 2).... }
+	* Clock changes: removed struct clk_data and timerList.
+	* Clock changes: separate nodev_tmo and els_retry_delay into 2
+	  separate timers and convert to 1 argument changed
+	  LPFC_NODE_FARP_PEND_t to struct lpfc_node_farp_pend convert
+	  ipfarp_tmo to 1 argument convert target struct tmofunc and
+	  rtplunfunc to 1 argument * cr_count, cr_delay and
+	  discovery_threads are only needed to be module_params and not
+	  visible via sysfs.
+

+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.5
+	* Make lpfc_info static.
+	* Make lpfc_get_scsi_buf static.
+	* Print a warning if pci_set_mwi returns an error.
+	* Changed SERV_PARM to struct serv_parm.
+	* Changed LS_RJT to struct ls_rjt.
+	* Changed CSP to struct csp.
+	* Changed CLASS_PARMS to struct class_parms.
+	* Some cosmetic coding style cleanups to lpfc_fcp.c.

+	* Convert mbox_tmo, nlp_xri_tmo to 1 argment clock handler
+	* Removed duplicate extern defs of the bind variables.
+	* Streamline usage of the defines CLASS2 and CLASS3, removing
+	  un-necessary checks on config[LPFC_CFG_FCP_CLASS].
+	* Moving the persistent binding variables to new file
+	  lpfc_defaults.c
+	* Changed LPFC_SCSI_BUF_t to struct lpfc_scsi_buf.

+	  from bind_setup() as this is already done in config_setup().
+	* Changed LPFC_SLI_t to struct lpfc_sli.
+	* Changed FCP_CMND to struct fcp_cmnd.
+	* Changed FCP_RSP to struct fcp_rsp.
+	* Remove the need for buf_tmo.

+	* Cleanup lpfc_os_return_scsi_cmd() and its call path.
+	* Removed lpfc_no_device_delay.
+	* Consolidating lpfc_hba_put_event() into lpfc_put_event().

+	  lpfc_tgt_queue_depth and lpfc_check_cond_err.
+	* Clock changes consolidating timers, just in the struct lpfc_hba,
+	  to get rid of clkData and pass only one argument to timeout
+	  routine. Also, removing need for outstanding clock linked list
+	  to stop these timers at rmmod.
+	* Move lpfc.conf contents into lpfc_fcp.c. Removing per adapter
+	  attributes in favor of global attributes.
+	* Fix a potential null pointer reference of pmbuf in lpfc_ct.c.
+	* On reset_lun, issue LUN_RESET as opposed to ABORT_TASK_SET.
+	* Removed SCSI_REQ_TMO related code.
+	* Introducing two new defines LPFC_ATTR_R and LPFC_ATTR_RW that do
+	  a module_param, MODULE_PARM_DESC, lpfc_param_show,
+	  [lpfc_param_store] and CLASS_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE.
+	* Properly clean up when allocation of a linked BDE fails in the
+	  SCSI queuecommand path.
+	* Fail SCSI command if dma_map_sg call fails.
+	* Remove unused macros SWAP_ALWAYS and SWAP_ALWAYS16.

+	* Arranging lpfc_scsiport.c to follow style of use after
+	  definition. This removes the need for the cruft of forward
+	  declarations. Also removing a redundant #define ScsiResult as it
+	  already available elsewhere.
+	* Applying "Streamline lpfc error handling" patch from Christoph
+	  Hellwig (hch@infradead.org) with following modifications: fix
+	  mem leaks, remove some misplaced code that need not be there,
+	  print a message on exit (old code prints two (entry/exit)), make
+	  ret values consistent (either 1/0 or SUCCESS/FAILURE), keep all
+	  eh routines in a single file (lpfc_scsiport.c).
+	* Move contents of lpfc_module_param.h into lpfc_fcp.c.
+	* Changed sysfs attributes to CLASS_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTES (previously
+	  DEVICE_ATTRIBUTES). They now appear in
+	  /sys/class/scsi_host/hostx (previously in
+	  /sys/bus/pci/drivers/lpfc/devx).
+	* Removed lpfc_syfs.h and lpfc_sysfs.c.
+	* Cleanup of config params.  Throttle params have been removed.
+	  max_lun has been removed. max_target is replaced with a #define,
+	  lun_skip is removed.  Remove ipfc config params and related
+	  code.
+	* Changed DMABUF_t usage to struct lpfc_dmabuf.
+	* Downsizing iCfgParam structure to include a_string, a_low, a_hi
+	  and a_default values only.
+	* Free SCSI buf safety memory pool on shutdown to eliminate memory
+	  leak.
+	* Change lpfc_printf_log to a #define. Also include phba->brd_no
+	  and newline in the print string rather than in the #define.
+	* Remove code that optionally locates Host Group Pointers in host
+	  memory SLIM since this is no longer needed for PPC64, once
+	  CONFIG_PORT uses HBA's view of its BAR0.
+	* Removed the forward declarations of the sli functions and
+	  rearranging the code in lpfc_sli.c.
+	* Removed the preamble functionality from logging.
+	* Make lpfc_sli_hba_setup() return negative error codes on error
+	  and correct the comment left over in lpfc_fcp.c
+	* Removed the lpfc_loadtime variable.
+	* Put a space between all ifs and their open parens '('.
+	* Change Studly_Caps LPFC_SCSI_BUF_t to struct lpfc_scsi_buf.
+	* Fixed insmod hang after hardware error.
+	* Relocated scsi_host alloc to before we enable the interrupt
+	  handler
+	* Add .tmp_versions directory to Makefile clean target.  This
+	  directory is created in the 2.6.5+ build process (with Red Hat
+	  kernels at least).
+	* Changing phba->config to kmalloc lpfc_icfgparam and not
+	  *phba->config. This is manifesting itself as a panic in
+	  pci_release_region().
+	* Fix for firmware download / board reset problem.
+	* Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig (hch@infradead.org) to
+	  reorganize and cleanup lpfc_fcp.c
+	* Don't abort commands immediately when there is an RSCN event to
+	  give driver time to rediscover targets before the midlayer
+	  retries the SCSI commands.
+
+Changes from 20040604 to 20040614
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.4
+	* Removed lpfc_valid_lun function.
+	* Added scsi_buf safety pool to address scsi_buf failures in
+	  queuecommand under low memory conditions.  Allocations now come
+	  from kmalloc initially, but if kmalloc fails, the allocation
+	  comes from the safety pool.
+	* Modified lpfc_slave_alloc to only set the scsi_device->hostdata
+	  pointer if the driver has discovered the target.  This routine
+	  always returns success now as well since no error ever occurs in
+	  the alloc routine.
+	* Mask only info and warning messages.  Print all error messages
+	  irrespective of mask.
+	* Removing lpfc_log_chk_msg_disabled()
+	* Changed lpfc_printf_log to take struct lpfc_hba * directly
+	  instead of a "board number".
+	* Convert dma_sync_single to pci_dma_sync_single_for_{device/cpu}.
+	* Implemented new style log messages. The message strings are now
+	  embedded in the call to lpfc_printf_log.
+	* Decreased FLOGI discovery timeout to 20 seconds.
+	* On error in lpfc_pci_probe_one() return -1 and not 1.
+	* Allow for board numbers that are not sequential, paving the way
+	  for hotplug support.
+	* scsi_add_host() can fail, so wrap it around in an if(). Also
+	  initiate scsi_scan_host() after attaching the sysfs attributes.
+	* lpfc_release_version is used only in lpfc_ct.c, so move it there
+	  and mark it as static.
+	* Removed lpfc_sleep_ms and replaced with mdelay or schedule calls
+	  directly
+	* Removed all (struct list_head *) casts from clkData-related list
+	  handling in list_add, list_del macros.
+	* Removed EXPORT_SYMBOLs.
+	* Removed LPFC_MIN_QFULL and lpfc_qthrottle_up.
+	* Replace LPFCSCSITARGET_t with struct lpfc_target.
+	* Replace LPFCSCSILUN_t with struct lpfc_lun.
+	* Remove unused struct declarations (fcPathId and fcRouteId) from
+	  lpfc_scsi.h.
+	* Rewrite use of FC transport attributes.
+	* Fix crash when link is lost.  This was due to lpfc_delay_iodone
+	  calling list_del on an object that was never put on a list.
+	* Remove trailing spaces at the end of all lines.
+	* Set MAX_FCP_TARGET to 256 from 0xff.  Set MAX_FCP_LUN and
+	  MAX_FCP_CMDS to their decimal equivalents and updated
+	  documentation.
+
+Changes from 20040526 to 20040604
+
+	* Changed version number to 8.0.3
+	* Completed sysfs FC transport support.
+	* Removed unused fields in SCSI LUN and SCSI Target structures:
+	  void *pTargetProto; void *pTargetOSEnv; void *pLunOSEnv;
+	* Modified list_for_each to list_for_each_entry. Modified
+	  list_for_each_safe to list_for_each_entry_safe.
+	* Remove lpfc_dfc.h file.
+	* Changed pHba->phba, pCommand->pcmd
+	* Changed plogi_ndlp -> plogindlp, pos_tmp->postmp, pRsp->prsp,
+	  pCmd->pcmd
+	* Changed pText -> ptext
+	* Changed p_tmp_buff -> ptmpbuff
+	* Changed pBufList -> pbuflist, pRsp -> prsp, pCmd -> pcmd
+	* Changed *pos_tmp -> *postmp, *p_mbuf -> *pmbuf
+	* Following changes are made to the SCSI fast path: Added
+	  DMA_BUF_t member to the lpfc_scsi_buf_t.  This will reduce a
+	  memory allocation in the scsi fast path.  Added check for
+	  targetp == NULL in the scsi fast path.  Increased number of
+	  scatter gather entries in lpfc_scsi_dma_ext to 4 from 3 and
+	  changed the size of lpfc_scsi_dma_ext to 264
+	* Fixing some missing static lpfc_nportdisc.c.
+	* Reordered #include lines so that lpfc.h doesn't have to #include
+	  other header files.
+	* Remove lpfc_get_hba_sym_node_name() as a global EXPORT and make
+	  it static.
+	* Move struct clk_data definition from lpfc_hw.h to lpfc_sli.h.
+	* Changed LPFC_IOCBQ_t to struct lpfc_iocbq.
+	* Changed LPFC_SLI_RING_t to struct lpfc_sli_ring.
+	* Changed LPFC_NODELIST_t to struct lpfc_nodelist.
+	* Rearranged lpfc_nportdisc.c by moving state machine array
+	  (lpfc_disc_action) and the one function that uses it,
+	  lpfc_disc_state_machine, to the end of the file, removing the
+	  need for the raft of prototypes at the top.
+	* Changed LPFC_BINDLIST_t to struct lpfc_bindlist.
+	* Removed lpfc_issue_ct_rsp(), lpfc_sleep(), lpfc_add_bind(),
+	  lpfc_del_bind(), lpfc_sli_wake_mbox_wait() and
+	  lpfc_sli_issue_mbox_wait().
+	* Fixed a large number of overly-long lines.
+	* Fixed some discovery problems: Introduced deferred ndlp removal
+	  when in DSM to avoid panic when in nested DMSs Fix NportId
+	  fffc01 handling to not relogin after LOGO fixed handling of LOGO
+	  on PLOGI issue.
+	* Changed SLI_CT_REQUEST to lpfc_sli_ct_request.
+	* Changed NAME_TYPE to struct lpfc_name.
+	* Changed lpfcCfgParam_t to struct lpfc_cfgparam.
+	* Changed LPFC_STAT_t to struct lpfc_stats.
+	* Changed HBAEVT_t to struct lpfc_hba_event.
+	* Changed Studly_Caps lpfcHBA_t to struct lpfc_hba.
+	* Removed no longer used tasklet_running flag.
+	* Removing *PSOME_VAR typedefs and using SOME_VAR* directly.
+	* Changing .use_clustering to ENABLE_CLUSTERING.
+	* Modify lpfc_queuecommand to return SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY when
+	  it can't queue a SCSI command.  Also, remove cmnds_in_flight
+	  member of struct lpfcHBA for 2.6 kernels as it was only needed
+	  to determine what to return from queuecommand.
+	* Change return type of lpfc_evt_iocb_free to void as it doesn't
+	  return anything.
+	* Remove unused cmnd_retry_list and in_retry members in struct
+	  lpfcHBA.
+	* Remove some instances of unneeded casting of kmalloc's return in
+	  lpfc_scsiport.c
+	* Remove lpfc_linux_attach() and lpfc_linux_detach(). Integrate
+	  them into lpfc_probe_one() and lpfc_release_one() respectively.
+	* Remove lpfc_num_iocbs, lpfc_num_bufs module parameters
+	* Remove #defines for NUM_NODES, NUM_BUFS and NUM_IOCBS
+
+Changes from 20040515 to 20040526
+
+	* Changing version number to 8.0.2.
+	* Including dma-mapping.h as one of the include headers.  Also
+	  rearrange the #include order.
+	* Make functions static as appropriate.
+	* queuecommand() will now return SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY instead of
+	  1 to backpressure midlayer.
+	* Removed function prototypes for lpfc_start_timer() and
+	  lpfc_stop_timer()
+	* Changed timer support to be inline.  Clk_data is now declared
+	  right next to the corresponding timer_list entry so we don't
+	  have to allocate these clk_data dynamically.
+	* Add readls after writels to PCI space to flush the writes.
+	* Fix misspelled word "safety" in function names.
+	* Fix up comments in lpfc.conf for per HBA parameters to reflect
+	  new implementation.
+	* Change lpfc_proc_info handler to get the Nodename from
+	  fc_nodename and not fc_portname.
+	* Fix up some comments and whitespace in lpfc_fcp.c.
+	* Formatting changes: get rid of leading spaces in code
+	* Move discovery processing from tasklet to a kernel thread.
+	* Move ndlp node from unmap list to map list if ADISC completed
+	  successfully.
+	* Flush all the ELS IOCBs when there is a link event.
+	* LP9802 qdepth is twice the LP9802DC qdepth.  Delay
+	  elx_sched_init after READ_CONFIG to get max_xri from the
+	  firmware.  Reset ELX_CFG_DFT_HBA_Q_DEPTH to max_xri after
+	  READ_CONFIG
+	* Fix fc_get_cfg_parm() to be more robust and support embedded hex
+	  values.  The lpfc_param's are now defined as:
+	  lpfc_log_verbose="lpfc:0,lpfc0:0x10,lpfc1:4,lpfc100:0xffff" The
+	  "," delimter does not matter. It can be anything or not exist at
+	  all. ie param = "lpfc:0lpfc0:0x10.lpfc1:4txtlpfc100:0xffff" will
+	  also work.  Additionally the string is treated as case
+	  insensitive.
+	* Changed all usage of lpfc_find_lun_device() to lpfc_find_lun().
+	* Removed unnecessary wrappers lpfc_find_lun_device() and
+	  lpfc_tran_find_lun().
+	* Switch from using internal bus/id/lun to similar data from
+	  scsi_device structure.
+	* Eliminate one-line function lpfc_find_target()
+	* Added slave_alloc, slave_destory
+	* lpfc_scsi_cmd_start can now acquire lun pointer from
+	  scsi_device->hostdata, which is setup in slave_alloc.
+	* Eliminate unnecessary checking on every cmd just to see if we
+	  are accessing the device the first time.
+	* Remove assumption in lpfc_reset_lun_handler that a valid
+	  lpfc_scsi_buf is hung off of linux's scsi_cmnd->host_scribble
+	  when our reset is called.
+
+Changes from 20040507 to 20040515
+
+	* Changed version to 8.0.1
+	* Fixed crash on driver rmmod after error injection tests and
+	  lpfc_tasklet deadlock.
+	* Modified lpfc.conf to remove limit on number of support hosts
+	* Removed HBAAPI 
+	* Removed duplication of SCSI opcodes from lpfc_fcp.h that are
+	  available in scsi/scsi.h
+	* Rework module_param usage
+	* Added MODULE_PARAM_DESC for various module_params
+	* Removed #define EXPORT_SYMTAB
+	* Removed #includes of if_arp.h and rtnetlink.h
+	* Removed string "Open Source" from MODULE_DESC
+	* Cleanup duplicated string definitions used by MODULE_DESC
+	* Renamed lpfc_pci_[detect|release] to lpfc_pci_[probe|remove]_one
+	* Fix formatting of lpfc_driver
+	* Remove unnecessary memset to 0 of lpfcDRVR
+	* Attach driver attributes always unless pci_module_init failed
+	* Remove all one-line wrappers from lpfc_mem.
+	* Remove lpfc_sysfs_set_[show|store] as it is no longer needed
+	* Redo lpfc_sysfs_params_[show|store] to one value per attribute rule
+	* Breakdown lpfc_sysfs_info_show into smaller one value per attribute
+	* Use device attributes instead of driver attributes where appropriate
+	* Remove no longer needed EXPORT_SYMBOLs
+	* Remove some unused code (1600 msg's related)
+
+Changes from 20040429 to 20040507
+
+	* Change version to 8.0.0
+	* Fix the number of cmd / rsp ring entries in lpfc_fcp.c to match
+	  the divisions setup in lpfc_hw.h.
+	* Remove phba->iflag reference.
+	* Several locking improvements.
+	* Remove functions lpfc_drvr_init_lock, lpfc_drvr_lock,
+	  lpfc_drvr_unlock and lpfc_hipri_*.
+	* Remove LPFC_DRVR_LOCK and LPFC_DRVR_UNLOCK macros.
+	* Make lpfc_info() use lpfc_get_hba_model_desc() instead of
+	  rewriting almost identical code.
+	* Fix 1 overly long line in each of lpfc_cfgparm.h, lpfc_ftp.c and
+	  lpfc_sli.c.
+	* Fix build for Red Hat 2.6.3 kernel by #defining MODULE_VERSION
+	  only if it isn't already defined.
+	* Change elx_sli_issue_mbox_wait to return correct error code to
+	  the caller.
+	* In some of the els completion routines, after calling
+	  lpfc_elx_chk_latt, driver ignores the return code of the
+	  lpfc_elx_chk_latt. This will prevent the discovery state machine
+	  restarting correctly when there are link events in the middle of
+	  discovery state machine running. Fix this by exiting discovery
+	  state machine if lpfc_els_chk_latt returns a non zero value.
+	* Removed MAX_LPFC_BRDS from lpfc_diag.h
+	* Removed unused first_check.
+	* Remove some unused fields and defines.
+	* Change lpfc-param names to lpfc_param.
+	* Add use of MODULE_VERSION macro for 2.6 kernels.
+	* Shorten length of some of the comment lines to make them more
+	  readable.
+	* Move FCP_* definitions to their own header file, lpfc_fcp.h.
+	* Remove unused prototypes from lpfc_crtn.h: fcptst, iptst,
+	  lpfc_DELAYMS.
+	* Remove duplicated prototypes from lpfc_crtn.h:
+	  lpfc_config_port_prep, lpfc_config_port_post,
+	  lpfc_hba_down_prep.
+	* Removed some unused export_symbols.
+	* Install driver files into */drivers/scsi/lpfc instead of
+	  */drivers/scsi.

+
+	* Declared export symbol lpfc_page_alloc and lpfc_page_free
+	* Changed lpfc version number to 6.98.3
+	* Move the definition of MAX_LPFC_BRDS to the only header file
+	  that uses it (lpfc_diag.h).
+	* Change lpfc_sli_wake_iocb_wait to do a regular wake_up since
+	  lpfc_sli_issue_iocb_wait now sleeps uninterruptible.
+	* Replace list_for_each() with list_for_each_safe() when a list
+	  element could be deleted.
+	* Fix IOCB memory leak
+
+Changes from 20040416 to 20040426
+
+	* Change lpfc_config_port_prep() to interpret word 4 of the DUMP
+	  mbox response as a byte-count
+	* Add info attribute to sysfs
+	* Minor formatting (spaces to tabs) cleanup in lpfc_sched.h
+	* Remove unused log message number 732

+	* Partially removed 32 HBA restriction within driver.  Incorported
+	  lpfc_instcnt, lpfc_instance[], and pHba[] into lpfcDRVR
+	  structure Added routines lpfc_get_phba_by_inst()
+	  lpfc_get_inst_by_phba() lpfc_check_valid_phba()
+	* Turn on attributes "set" & "params" by default.
+	* Further formatting/whitespace/line length cleanup on: lpfc_ct.c
+	  lpfc_els.c lpfc_fcp.c lpfc_hbadisc.c lpfc_init.c lpfc_ipport.c
+	  lpfc_mbox.c lpfc_nportdisc.c lpfc_sched.c lpfc_sched.h
+	  lpfc_scsi.h lpfc_scsiport.c lpfc_sli.c and lpfc_sli.h
+	* Add log message 249 to log any unsupported device addressing
+	  modes encountered.

+	* Wrap use of log message 311 in macro
+	* Detect failure return from pci_map_sg call in lpfc_os_prep_io
+	* Fix use-after-free of IOCB in lpfc_sli_process_sol_iocb which
+	  was causing an Oops on 2.6.5 kernel.
+	* Cleanup use of several gotos not used for error exit.
+	* Replace memcpy_toio() and memcpy_toio() with endian-dependent
+	  lpfc_memcpy_to_slim() and lpfc_memcpy_from_slim() so that for
+	  big endian hosts like PPC64, the SLIM is accessed 4 bytes at a
+	  time instead of as a byte-stream.
+
+Changes from 20040409 to 20040416
+
+	* The scsi_register and scsi_alloc_host OS calls can fail and
+	  return a zero-valued host pointer.  A ctrl-C on 2.6 kernels
+	  during driver load will cause this and the driver to panic.
+	  Fixed this bug.  Also found a bug in the error_x handling with
+	  lpfc_sli_hba_down - it was in the wrong place and the driver
+	  lock was not held, but needed to be (in lpfc_linux_attach) Fixed
+	  both.  Did some minor comment clean up.
+	* Removed unwanted (void *) castings.
+	* Replace define of INVALID_PHYS, with kernel 2.6.5's
+	  dma_mapping_error() and add a inline function for earlier
+	  kernels.  Remove lpfc_bad_scatterlist().

+	  - mostly replacing groups of 8 spaces with hard tabs and keeping
+	  lines to 80 column max..
+	* Removed LPFC_DRVR_LOCK call from lpfc_unblock_requests for 2.4

+	  els_timeout routine.  It now stops all timeout routines
+	  associated with that hba.
+	* Replace separate next and prev pointers in struct
+	  lpfc_bindlist with list_head type.  In elxHBA_t, replace
+	  fc_nlpbind_start and _end with fc_nlpbind_list and use
+	  list_head macros to access it.
+	* Fix ulpStatus for aborting I/Os overlaps with newer firmware

+	* Removed elx_os.h inclusion in implementation files.
+	* Removed ELX_OS_IO_t data structure and put data direction
+	  and non scatter/gather physical address into the scsi buffer
+	  structure directly.  Moved DRVR_LOCK, putPaddr, getPaddr
+	  macros and some defines into elx.h since they are required

+	  attribute "set" to be used in conjunction with the above
+	  attributes.
+	* Removed DLINK, enque and deque declarations now that clock
+	  doesn't use them anymore
+	* Separated install rule so that BUILD_IPFC has to be set when
+	  make is called in order for the install rule to attempt to
+	  copy the lpfndd.o driver.  This change fixes a bug that
+	  occurs because the install rule by default attempted to
+	  install lpfndd.o, whereas the default make rule did not by
+	  default build lpfndd.o.
+	* Keep track if hbaapi index numbers need to be refreshed.
+	* Removed prod_os.h from include list.
+	* Removed LPFC_LOCK and LPFC_UNLOCK macros.  Added OS calls

+	  into code directly and removed LPFC_LOCK_ and _UNLOCK_
+	  macros
+	* Remove references to "elx_clock.h"
+	* Added utsname.h to include list.  The previous checkin to
+	  elx_os.h removed its inclusion of utsname.h since there is
+	  precious little in the file.  However, lpfcLINUXfcp.c needs
+	  it and now has it.
+	* Removed some commented-out code

+	  IPFC functions into lpfc_ipport.c
+	* Moved IP specific structures to lpfc_ip.h file.
+	* lpfc_ipfarp_timeout() uses system timer.  Remove all usages
+	  of old internal clock support.

+	  build.  Added ifdef IPFC for all lpfc_ip.h includes.
+	* Patched elx_free_scsi_buf
+  	* Removed elx_sched.o from 2.6 dependencies
+	* Reworked lpfc_pcimap.

+          timer.
+	* Removed num_bufs and num_iocbs configuration parameters.
+	* Fixed a memory corruption bug. This was caused by a memory
+	  write to ndlp structure from lpfc_cmpl_els_acc function.
+	  This ndlp structure was freed from lpfc_els_unsol_event.
+	* lpfc_disc_timeout() and lpfc_establish_link_tmo() now use
+	  system timer.  Also update lpfc_els_retry_delay() to do a
+	  single lock release at the end.
+	* Remove use of PAN (pseudo adapter number).
+	* Reintroduced usage of the cross compiler for building on
+	  ppc64 to remove build errors that were cropping up when
+	  using the standard gcc compiler.
+	* Fix no-unlock-before return in lpfc_els_retry_delay which was
+	  causing  a deadlock on insmod in some environments.
+	* Minor format changes fix up comments

+Release Date	: Thu Nov 16 15:32:35 EST 2006 -
+				Sumant Patro <sumant.patro@lsi.com>
+Current Version : 2.20.5.1 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+Older Version	: 2.20.4.9 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+
+1.	Changes in Initialization to fix kdump failure.
+	Send SYNC command on loading.
+	This command clears the pending commands in the adapter
+	and re-initialize its internal RAID structure.
+	Without this change, megaraid driver either panics or fails to
+	initialize the adapter during kdump's second kernel boot
+	if there are pending commands or interrupts from other devices
+	sharing the same IRQ.
+2. 	Authors email-id domain name changed from lsil.com to lsi.com.
+	Also modified the MODULE_AUTHOR to megaraidlinux@lsi.com

+
+1.	Fixed a bug in megaraid_init_mbox().
+	Customer reported "garbage in file on x86_64 platform".
+	Root Cause: the driver registered controllers as 64-bit DMA capable
+	for those which are not support it.
+	Fix: Made change in the function inserting identification machanism
+	identifying 64-bit DMA capable controllers.

+2.	When INQUIRY with EVPD bit set issued to the MegaRAID controller,

+3.	One of member in the data structure of the driver leads unaligne

+	Root Cause: in uioc_t structure, one of member had misaligned and it

+Older Version	: 2.20.4.7 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+
+1.	Fixed a bug in megaraid_reset_handler().
+	Customer reported "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
+	at virtual address 00000000" when system goes to reset condition
+	for some reason. It happened randomly.
+	Root Cause: in the megaraid_reset_handler(), there is possibility not
+	returning pending packets in the pend_list if there are multiple
+	pending packets.
+	Fix: Made the change in the driver so that it will return all packets
+	in the pend_list.
+
+2.	Added change request.
+	As found in the following URL, rmb() only didn't help the
+	problem. I had to increase the loop counter to 0xFFFFFF. (6 F's)
+	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=110971060502497&w=2
+
+	I attached a patch for your reference, too.
+	Could you check and get this fix in your driver?

+Older Version	: 2.20.4.6 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+
+1.	Sorted out PCI IDs to remove megaraid support overlaps.
+	Based on the patch from Daniel, sorted out PCI IDs along with
+	character node name change from 'megadev' to 'megadev_legacy' to avoid
+	conflict.
+	---
+	Hopefully we'll be getting the build restriction zapped much sooner, 
+	but we should also be thinking about totally removing the hardware 
+	support overlap in the megaraid drivers.
+
+	This patch pencils in a date of Feb 06 for this, and performs some 
+	printk abuse in hope that existing legacy users might pick up on what's
+	going on.
+
+	Signed-off-by: Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>
+	---
+
+2.	Fixed a issue: megaraid always fails to reset handler.
+	---
+	I found that the megaraid driver always fails to reset the
+	adapter with the following message:
+		megaraid: resetting the host...
+		megaraid mbox: reset sequence completed successfully
+		megaraid: fast sync command timed out
+		megaraid: reservation reset failed
+	when the "Cluster mode" of the adapter BIOS is enabled.
+	So, whenever the reset occurs, the adapter goes to
+	offline and just become unavailable.

+	I don't have easy access to hardware, so only compile tested.
+		- Signed-off-by:Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>
+
+2.	megaraid_mbox fix: wrong order of arguments in memset()
+	That, BTW, shows why cross-builds are useful-the only indication of

+	build (number of exceeding 256 got truncated).

+
+5.	Remove SSID checking for Dobson, Lindsay, and Verde based products.
+	Checking the SSVID/SSID for controllers which have Dobson, Lindsay,
+	and Verde is unnecessary because device ID has been assigned by LSI
+	and it is unique value. So, all controllers with these IOPs have to be
+	supported by the driver regardless SSVID/SSID.

+	Subject RFC: assert_spin_locked() for 2.6 
+
+	Greetings!
+
+	overcautious programming will kill your kernel ;)
+	ever thought about checking a spin_lock or even
+	asserting that it must be held (maybe just for
+	spinlock debugging?) ...
+
+	there are several checks present in the kernel
+	where somebody does a variation on the following:
+
+	  BUG_ON(!spin_is_locked(&some_lock));
+
+	so what's wrong about that? nothing, unless you
+	compile the code with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK but 
+	without CONFIG_SMP ... in which case the BUG()
+	will kill your kernel ...
+
+	maybe it's not advised to make such assertions, 
+	but here is a solution which works for me ...
+	(compile tested for sh, x86_64 and x86, boot/run
+	tested for x86 only)
+
+	best,
+	Herbert

+
+1.	Remove driver ioctl for logical drive to scsi address translation and
+	replace with the sysfs attribute. To remove drives and change
+	capacity, application shall now use the device attribute to get the
+	logical drive number for a scsi device. For adding newly created

+
+5.	Fixed Tape drive issue : For any Direct CDB command to physical device
+	including tape, timeout value set by driver was 10 minutes. With this 
+	value, most of command will return within timeout. However, for those
+	command like ERASE or FORMAT, it takes more than an hour depends on
+	capacity of the device and the command could be terminated before it 
+	completes.
+	To address this issue, the 'timeout' field in the DCDB command will 
+	have NO TIMEOUT (i.e., 4) value as its timeout on DCDB command.

+
+i.	When copying the mailbox packets, copy only first 14 bytes (for 32-bit

+ii.	In the reset handling, if the reseted command is not owned by the
+	driver, do not (wrongly) print information for the "attached" driver
+	packet.
+
+iii.	Have extended wait when issuing command in synchronous mode. This is
+	required for the cases where the option ROM is disabled and there is
+	no BIOS to start the controller. The FW starts to boot after receiving
+	the first command from the driver. The current driver has 1 second
+	timeout for the synchronous commands, which is far less than what is

+	FW boot process.
+
+iv.	In megaraid_mbox_product_info, clear the mailbox contents completely

+Release Date	: Fri Jul 23 15:22:07 EDT 2004 - Atul Mukker <atulm@lsil.com>
+Current Version	: 2.20.2.0 (scsi module), 2.20.1.0 (cmm module)
+Older Version	: 2.20.1.0 (scsi module), 2.20.0.0 (cmm module)
+
+i.	Add PCI ids for Acer ROMB 2E solution
+
+ii.	Add PCI ids for I4
+
+iii.	Typo corrected for subsys id for megaraid sata 300-4x
+
+iv.	Remove yield() while mailbox handshake in synchronous commands
+
+
+	"My other main gripe is things like this:
+
+	+	// wait for maximum 1 second for status to post
+	+	for (i = 0; i < 40000; i++) {
+	+		if (mbox->numstatus != 0xFF) break;
+	+		udelay(25); yield();
+	+	}
+
+	which litter the driver.  Use of yield() in drivers is deprecated."
+
+		- James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>, 07.14.2004
+		 linux-scsi mailing list
+
+v.	Remove redundant __megaraid_busywait_mbox routine
+
+vi.	Fix bug in the management module, which causes a system lockup when the
+	IO module is loaded and then unloaded, followed by executing any
+	management utility. The current version of management module does not
+	handle the adapter unregister properly.
+
+	Specifically, it still keeps a reference to the unregistered
+	controllers. To avoid this, the static array adapters has been
+	replaced by a dynamic list, which gets updated every time an adapter
+	is added or removed.
+
+	Also, during unregistration of the IO module, the resources are
+	now released in the exact reverse order of the allocation time
+	sequence.

+Current Version	: 2.20.0.1
+Older Version	: megaraid 2.20.0.00
+
+i.	Modules are not 'y' by default, but depend on current definition of
+	SCSI & PCI.
+
+ii.	Redundant structure mraid_driver_t removed.
+
+iii.	Miscellaneous indentation and goto/label fixes.
+		- Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>, 06.24.2004 linux-scsi
+
+iv.	scsi_host_put(), do just before completing HBA shutdown.

+Release Date	: Mon Jun 21 19:53:54 EDT 2004 - Atul Mukker <atulm@lsil.com>
+Current Version	: 2.20.0.0
+Older Version	: megaraid 2.20.0.rc2 and 2.00.3
+
+i.	Independent module to interact with userland applications and
+	multiplex command to low level RAID module(s).
+
+	"Shared code in a third module, a "library module", is an acceptable
+	solution. modprobe automatically loads dependent modules, so users
+	running "modprobe driver1" or "modprobe driver2" would automatically
+	load the shared library module."
+
+		- Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com> 02.25.2004 LKML
+
+	"As Jeff hinted, if your userspace<->driver API is consistent between
+	your new MPT-based RAID controllers and your existing megaraid driver,
+	then perhaps you need a single small helper module (lsiioctl or some
+	better name), loaded by both mptraid and megaraid automatically, which
+	handles registering the /dev/megaraid node dynamically. In this case,
+	both mptraid and megaraid would register with lsiioctl for each
+	adapter discovered, and lsiioctl would essentially be a switch,
+	redirecting userspace tool ioctls to the appropriate driver."
+
+		- Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com> 02.25.2004 LKML
+
+ii.	Remove C99 initializations from pci_device id.
+
+	"pci_id_table_g would be much more readable when not using C99
+	initializers.
+	PCI table doesn't change, there's lots of users that prefer the more
+	readable variant.  And it's really far less and much easier to grok
+	lines without C99 initializers."
+
+		- Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>, 05.28.2004 linux-scsi
+
+iii.	Many fixes as suggested by Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> on
+	linux-scsi, 05.28.2004
+
+iv.	We now support up to 32 parallel ioctl commands instead of current 1.
+	There is a conscious effort to let memory allocation not fail for ioctl
+	commands.
+
+v.	Do away with internal memory management. Use pci_pool_(create|alloc)
+	instead.
+
+vi.	Kill tasklet when unloading the driver.
+
+vii.	Do not use "host_lock', driver has fine-grain locks now to protect all
+	data structures.
+
+viii.	Optimize the build scatter-gather list routine. The callers already
+	know the data transfer address and length.
+
+ix.	Better implementation of error handling and recovery. Driver now
+	performs extended errors recovery for instances like scsi cable pull.
+
+x.	Disassociate the management commands with an overlaid scsi command.
+	Driver now treats the management packets as special packets and has a
+	dedicated callback routine.

+
+2 Current Version : 00.00.04.31-rc1
+3 Older Version   : 00.00.04.17.1-rc1
+
+1.	Add the Online Controller Reset (OCR) to the Driver.
+	OCR is the new feature for megaraid_sas driver which
+	will allow the fw to do the chip reset which will not
+	affect the OS behavior.
+
+	To add the OCR support, driver need to do:
+		a). reset the controller chips -- Xscale and Gen2 which
+		will change the function calls and add the reset function
+		related to this two chips.
+
+		b). during the reset, driver will store the pending cmds
+		which not returned by FW to driver's pending queue.  Driver
+		will re-issue those pending cmds again to FW after the OCR
+		finished.
+
+		c). In driver's timeout routine, driver will report to
+		OS as reset. Also driver's queue routine will block the
+		cmds until the OCR finished.
+
+		d). in Driver's ISR routine, if driver get the FW state as
+		state change, FW in Failure status and FW support online controller
+		reset (OCR), driver will start to do the controller reset.
+
+		e). In driver's IOCTL routine, the application cmds will wait for the
+		OCR to finish, then issue the cmds to FW.
+
+		f). Before driver kill adapter, driver will do last chance of
+		OCR to see if driver can bring back the FW.
+
+2.	Add the support update flag to the driver to tell LSI megaraid_sas
+	application which driver will support the device update.  So application
+	will not need to do the device update after application add/del the device
+	from the system.
+3.	In driver's timeout routine, driver will do three time reset if fw is in
+	failed state.  Driver will kill adapter if can't bring back FW after the
+	this three times reset.
+4.	Add the input parameter max_sectors to 1MB support to our GEN2 controller.
+	customer can use the input parameter max_sectors to add 1MB support to GEN2
+	controller.

+
+1. Rollback the sense info implementation
+	Sense buffer ptr data type in the ioctl path is reverted back

+
+2. Fixed the driver frame count.
+	When Driver sent wrong frame count to firmware.  As this

+
+1. Added module parameter "poll_mode_io" to support for "polling"
+	(reduced interrupt operation).  In this mode, IO completion
+	interrupts are delayed. At the end of initiating IOs, the
+	driver schedules for cmd completion if there are pending cmds
+	to be completed.  A timer-based interrupt has also been added
+	to prevent IO completion processing from being delayed
+	indefinitely in the case that no new IOs are initiated.

+
+1. Setting the max_sectors_per_req based on max SGL supported by the
+	FW. Prior versions calculated this value from controller info
+	(max_sectors_1, max_sectors_2). For certain controllers/FW,
+	this was resulting in a value greater than max SGL supported
+	by the FW. Issue was first reported by users running LUKS+XFS
+	with megaraid_sas.  Thanks to RB for providing the logs and
+	duplication steps that helped to get to the root cause of the
+	issue.  2. Increased MFI_POLL_TIMEOUT_SECS to 60 seconds from
+	10. FW may take a max of 60 seconds to respond to the INIT
+	cmd.

+
+i.	Under heavy IO mid-layer prints "DRIVER_TIMEOUT" errors
+
+	Fix:	The driver is now throttling IO.
+	Checks added in megasas_queue_command to know if FW is able to
+	process commands within timeout period. If number of retries
+	is 2 or greater,the driver stops sending cmd to FW temporarily. IO is
+	resumed if pending cmd count reduces to 16 or 5 seconds has elapsed
+	from the time cmds were last sent to FW.
+
+ii.	FW enables WCE bit in Mode Sense cmd for drives that are configured
+	as WriteBack. The OS may send "SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE" cmd when Logical
+	Disks are exposed with WCE=1. User is advised to enable Write Back
+	mode only when the controller has battery backup. At this time
+	Synhronize cache is not supported by the FW. Driver will short-cycle
+	the cmd and return success without sending down to FW.

+1. Added new memory management module to support the IOCTL memory allocation. For IOCTL we try to allocate from the memory pool created during driver initialization. If mem pool is empty then we allocate at run time.
+2. Added check in megasas_queue_command and dpc/isr routine to see if we have already declared adapter dead

+	- Move from `sym' to this driver a tiny change for __sparc__ that 
+	  applies to cache line size (? Probably from David S Miller).

+	- Built off of version 3.30
+
+Mon Jan 10 13:30 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)

+
+Sat Jan 8  22:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)

+	- Remove the dead code that broke driver 3.2d.
+
+Mon Dec 6  22:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2d
+	- Change messages written by the driver at initialisation and 
+	  through the /proc FS (rather cosmetic changes that consist in
+	  printing out the PCI bus number and device/function).
+	- Get rid of the old PCI bios interface, but preserve kernel 2.0 
+	  compatibility from a simple wrapper.
+	- Remove the compilation condition about having to acquire the 
+	  io_request_lock since it seems to be a definite feature now.:)
+	- proc_dir structure no longer needed for kernel >= 2.3.27.
+	- Change the driver detection code by the sym53c8xx one, modulo 
+	  some minor changes. The driver can now attach any number of 
+	  controllers (>40) and does no longer hoger stack space at 
+	  initialisation.
+	- Definitely disable overlapped PCI arbitration for all dual 
+	  function chips, since I cannot make sure for what chip revisions 
+	  it is actually safe.
+	- Add support for the SYM53C1510D.
+	- Update the poor Tekram sync factor table.
+	- Remove the compilation condition about having to acquire the 
+	  io_request_lock since it seems to be a definite feature now.:)
+	- proc_dir structure no longer needed for kernel >= 2.3.27.
+
+Sat Sep 11  18:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2c
+	- Handle correctly (hopefully) jiffies wrap-around.
+	- Restore the entry used to detect 875 until revision 0xff.
+	  (I removed it inadvertently, it seems :) )
+	- Replace __initfunc() which is deprecated stuff by __init which 
+	  is not yet so. ;-)
+	- Add support of some 'resource handling' for linux-2.3.13.
+	  Basically the BARs have been changed to something more complex 
+	  in the pci_dev structure.
+	- Remove some deprecated code.
+
+Sat May 10  11:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision pre-3.2b-1
+	- Support for the 53C895A by Pamela Delaney <pam.delaney@lsil.com>
+	  The 53C895A contains all of the features of the 896 but has only 
+	  one channel and has a 32 bit PCI bus. It does 64 bit PCI addressing 
+	  using dual cycle PCI data transfers.
+	- Miscellaneous minor fixes.
+	- Some additions to the README.ncr53c8xx file.
+
+Sun Apr 11  10:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2a
+	- Add 'hostid:#id' boot option. This option allows to change the 
+	  default SCSI id the driver uses for controllers.
+	- Remove nvram layouts and driver set-up structures from the C source,
+	  and use the one defined in sym53c8xx_defs.h file.
+	  (shared by both drivers).
+	- Set for now MAX LUNS to 16 (instead of 8).
+
+Thu Mar 11  23:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.2	  (8xx-896 driver bundle)
+	- Only define the host template in ncr53c8xx.h and include the 
+	  sym53c8xx_defs.h file.
+	- Declare static all symbols that do not need to be visible from 
+	  outside the driver code.
+	- Add 'excl' boot command option that allows to pass to the driver 
+	  io address of devices not to attach.
+	- Add info() function called from the host template to print 
+	  driver/host information.
+	- Minor documentation additions.
+
+Sat Mar 6  11:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1h
+	- Fix some oooold bug that hangs the bus if a device rejects a 
+	  negotiation. Btw, the corresponding stuff also needed some cleanup 
+	  and thus the change is a bit larger than it could have been.
+	- Still some typo that made compilation fail for 64 bit (trivial fix).
+
+Sun Feb  14:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1g
+	- Deal correctly with 64 bit PCI address registers on Linux 2.2.
+	  Pointed out by Leonard Zubkoff.
+	- Allow to tune request_irq() flags from the boot command line using 
+	  ncr53c8xx=irqm:??, as follows:
+	  a) If bit 0x10 is set in irqm, IRQF_SHARED flag is not used.
+	  b) If bit 0x20 is set in irqm, IRQF_DISABLED flag is not used.
+	  By default the driver uses both IRQF_SHARED and IRQF_DISABLED.
+	  Option 'ncr53c8xx=irqm:0x20' may be used when an IRQ is shared by 
+	  a 53C8XX adapter and a network board.
+	- Tiny misspelling fixed (ABORT instead of ABRT). Was fortunately 
+	  harmless.
+	- Negotiate SYNC data transfers with CCS devices.
+
+Sat Jan 16  17:30 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1f
+	- Some PCI fix-ups not needed any more for PPC (from Cort).
+	- Cache line size set to 16 DWORDS for Sparc   (from DSM).
+	- Waiting list look-up didn't work for the first command of the list.
+	- Remove 2 useless lines of code.
+
+Sun Dec 13  18:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1e
+	- Same work-around as for the 53c876 rev <= 0x15 for 53c896 rev 1:
+	  Disable overlapped arbitration. This will not make difference 
+	  since the chip has on-chip RAM.
+
+Thu Nov 26  22:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1d
+	- The SISL RAID change requires now remap_pci_mem() stuff to be 
+	  compiled for __i386__ when normal IOs are used.
+	- Minor spelling fixes in doc files.
+
+Sat Nov 21  18:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1c
+	- Ignore chips that are driven by SISL RAID (DAC 960).
+	  Change sent by Leonard Zubkoff and slightly reworked.
+	- Still a buglet in the tags initial settings that needed to be fixed.
+	  It was not possible to disable TGQ at system startup for devices 
+	  that claim TGQ support. The driver used at least 2 for the queue 
+	  depth but did'nt keep track of user settings for tags depth lower 
+	  than 2.
+
+Wed Nov 11  10:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1b
+	- The driver was unhappy when configured with default_tags > MAX_TAGS
+	  Hopefully doubly-fixed.
+	- Update the Configure.help driver section that speaks of TAGS.
+
+Wed Oct 21 21:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.1a
+	- Changes from Eddie Dost for Sparc and Alpha:
+	  ioremap/iounmap support for Sparc.
+	  pcivtophys changed to bus_dvma_to_phys.
+	- Add the 53c876 description to the chip table. This is only useful 
+	  for printing the right name of the controller.
+	- DEL-441 Item 2 work-around for the 53c876 rev <= 5 (0x15).
+	- Add additional checking of INQUIRY data:
+	  Check INQUIRY data received length is at least 7. Byte 7 of 
+	  inquiry data contains device features bits and the driver might 
+	  be confused by garbage. Also check peripheral qualifier.
+	- Cleanup of the SCSI tasks management:
+	  Remove the special case for 32 tags. Now the driver only uses the 
+	  scheme that allows up to 64 tags per LUN.
+	  Merge some code from the 896 driver.
+	  Use a 1,3,5,...MAXTAGS*2+1 tag numbering. Previous driver could  
+	  use any tag number from 1 to 253 and some non conformant devices  
+	  might have problems with large tag numbers.
+	- 'no_sync' changed to 'no_disc' in the README file. This is an old 
+	  and trivial mistake that seems to demonstrate the README file is 
+	  not often read. :)
+
+Sun Oct  4 14:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0i
+	- Cosmetic changes for sparc (but not for the driver) that needs  
+	  __irq_itoa() to be used for printed IRQ value to be understandable.
+	- Some problems with the driver that didn't occur using driver 2.5f 
+	  were due to a SCSI selection problem triggered by a clearly 
+	  documented feature that in fact seems not to work: (53C8XX chips  
+	  are claimed by the manuals to be able to execute SCSI scripts just 
+	  after abitration while the SCSI core is performing SCSI selection).
+	  This optimization is broken and has been removed.
+	- Some broken scsi devices are confused when a negotiation is started 
+	  on a LUN that does not correspond to a real device. According to 
+	  SCSI specs, this is a device firmware bug. This has been worked 
+	  around by only starting negotiation if the LUN has previously be 
+	  used for at least 1 successful SCSI command.
+	- The 'last message sent' printed out on M_REJECT message reception 
+	  was read from the SFBR i/o register after the previous message had 
+	  been sent. 
+	  This was not correct and affects all previous driver versions and 
+	  the original FreeBSD one as well. The SCSI scripts has been fixed 
+	  so that it now provides the right information to the C code.
+
+Sat Jul 18 13:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0g
+	- Preliminary fixes for Big Endian (sent by Eddie C. Dost).
+	  Big Endian architectures should work again with the driver.
+	  Eddie's patch has been partially applied since current 2.1.109 
+	  does not have all the Sparc changes of the vger tree.
+	- Use of BITS_PER_LONG instead of (~0UL == 0xffffffffUL) has fixed
+	  the problem observed when the driver was compiled using EGCS or 
+	  PGCC.
+
+Mon Jul 13 20:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0f
+	- Some spelling fixes.
+	- linux/config.h misplaced in ncr53c8xx.h
+	- MODULE_PARM stuff added for linux 2.1.
+	- check INQUIRY response data format is exactly 2. 
+	- use BITS_PER_LONG if defined. 
+
+Sun Jun 28 12:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0e
+	- Some cleanup, spelling fixes, version checks, documentations 
+	  changes, etc ...
+
+Sat Jun 20 20:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0c
+	- Add a boot setup option that allows to set up device queue depths 
+	  at boot-up. This option is very useful since Linux does not 
+	  allow to change scsi device queue depth once the system has been 
+	  booted up.
+
+Sun Jun 15 23:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0a
+	- Support for up to 64 TAGS per LUN.
+	- Rewrite the TARGET vs LUN capabilities management.
+	  CmdQueue is now handled as a LUN capability as it shall be.
+	  This also fixes a bug triggered when disabling tagged command 
+	  queuing for a device that had this feature enabled.
+	- Remove the ncr_opennings() stuff that was useless under Linux 
+	  and hard to understand to me.
+	- Add "setverbose" procfs driver command. It allows to tune 
+	  verbose level after boot-up. Setting this level to zero, for 
+	  example avoid flooding the syslog file.
+	- Add KERN_XXX to some printk's.
+
+Tue Jun 10 23:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 3.0
+	- Linux config changes for 2.0.34:
+	  Remove NVRAM detection config option. This option is now enabled 
+	  by default but can be disabled by editing the driver header file.
+	  Add a PROFILE config option.
+	- Update Configure.help
+	- Add calls to new function mdelay() for milli-seconds delay if 
+	  kernel version >= 2.1.105.
+	- Replace all printf(s) by printk(s). After all, the ncr53c8xx is 
+	  a driver for Linux.
+	- Perform auto-sense on COMMAND TERMINATED. Not sure it is useful.
+	- Some other minor changes.
+
+Tue Jun 4 23:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6n
+	- Code cleanup and simplification:
+	  Remove kernel 1.2.X and 1.3.X support.
+	  Remove the _old_ target capabilities table.
+	  Remove the error recovery code that have'nt been really useful.
+	  Use a single alignment boundary (CACHE_LINE_SIZE) for data 
+	  structures.
+	- Several aggressive SCRIPTS optimizations and changes:
+	  Reselect SCRIPTS code rewritten.
+	  Support for selection/reselection without ATN.
+	  And some others.
+	- Miscallaneous changes in the C code:
+	  Count actual number of CCB queued to the controller (future use).
+	  Lots of other minor changes.
+
+Wed May 13 20:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6m
+	- Problem of missed SCSI bus reset with the 53C895 fixed by 
+	  Richard Waltham. The 53C895 needs about 650 us for the bus 
+	  mode to settle. Delays used while resetting the controller 
+	  and the bus have been adjusted. Thanks Richard!
+	- Some simplification for 64 bit arch done ccb address testing.
+	- Add a check of the MSG_OUT phase after Selection with ATN.
+	- The new tagged queue stuff seems ok, so some informationnal 
+	  message have been conditionned by verbose >= 3.
+	- Donnot reset if a SBMC interrupt reports the same bus mode.
+	- Print out the whole driver set-up. Some options were missing and 
+	  the print statement was misplaced for modules.
+	- Ignore a SCSI parity interrupt if the chip is not connected to 
+	  the SCSI bus.
+
+Sat May 1 16:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6l
+	- Add CCB done queue support for Alpha and perhaps some other 
+	  architectures.
+	- Add some barriers to enforce memory ordering for x86 and 
+	  Alpha architectures.
+	- Fix something that looks like an old bug in the nego SIR 
+	  interrupt code in case of negotiation failure.
+
+Sat Apr 25 21:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6k
+	- Remove all accesses to the on-chip RAM from the C code:
+	  Use SCRIPTS to load the on-chip RAM.
+	  Use SCRIPTS to repair the start queue on selection timeout.
+	  Use the copy of script in main memory to calculate the chip 
+	  context on phase mismatch.
+	- The above allows now to use the on-chip RAM without requiring 
+	  to get access to the on-chip RAM from the C code. This makes 
+	  on-chip RAM useable for linux-1.2.13 and for Linux-Alpha for 
+	  instance.
+	- Some simplifications and cleanups in the SCRIPTS and C code.
+	- Buglet fixed in parity error recovery SCRIPTS (never tested).
+	- Minor updates in README.ncr53c8xx.
+
+Wed Apr 15 21:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6j
+	- Incorporate changes from linux-2.1.95 ncr53c8xx driver version.
+	- Add SMP support for linux-2.1.95 and above.
+	- Fix a bug when QUEUE FULL is returned and no commands are 
+	  disconnected. This happens with Atlas I / L912 and may happen 
+	  with Atlas II / LXY4.
+	- Nail another one on CHECK condition when requeuing the command 
+	  for auto-sense.
+	- Call scsi_done() for all completed commands after interrupt 
+	  handling.
+	- Increase the done queue to 24 entries.
+
+Sat Apr 4 20:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6i
+	- CTEST0 is used by the 53C885 for Power Management and 
+	  priority setting between the 2 functions.
+	  Use SDID instead as actual target number. Just have had to 
+	  overwrite it with SSID on reselection.
+	- Split DATA_IN and DATA_OUT scripts into 2 sub-scripts.
+	  64 segments are moved from on-chip RAM scripts.
+	  If more segments, a script in main memory is used for the 
+	  additional segments.
+	- Since the SCRIPTS processor continues SCRIPTS execution after 
+	  having won arbitration, do some stuff prior to testing any SCSI 
+	  phase on reselection. This should have the vertue to process 
+	  scripts in parallel with the SCSI core performing selection.
+	- Increase the done queue to 12 entries.
+
+Sun Mar 29 12:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6h
+	- Some fixes.
+
+Tue Mar 26 23:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6g
+	- New done queue. 8 entries by default (6 always useable).
+	  Can be increased if needed.
+	- Resources management using doubly linked queues.
+	- New auto-sense and QUEUE FULL handling that does not need to 
+	  stall the NCR queue any more.
+	- New CCB starvation avoiding algorithm.
+	- Prepare CCBs for SCSI commands that cannot be queued, instead of 
+	  inserting these commands into the waiting list. The waiting list 
+	  is now only used while resetting and when memory for CCBs is not 
+	  yet available?
+
+Sun Feb 8 22:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6f
+	- Some fixes in order to really support the 53C895, at least with 
+	  FAST-20 devices.
+	- Heavy changes in the target/lun resources management to allow 
+	  the scripts to jump directly to the CCB on reselection instead 
+	  of walking on the lun CCBs list. Up to 32 tags per lun are now 
+	  supported without script processor and PCI traffic overhead.
+
+Sun Jan 11 22:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* revision 2.6d
+	- new (different ?) implementation of the start queue:
+          Use a simple CALL to a launch script in the CCB.
+	- implement a minimal done queue (1 entry :-) ).
+          this avoid scanning all CCBs on INT FLY (Only scan all CCBs, on 
+          overflow). Hit ratio is better than 99.9 % on my system, so no 
+          need to have a larger done queue.
+	- generalization of the restart of CCB on special condition as 
+          Abort, QUEUE FULL, CHECK CONDITION.
+          This has been called 'silly scheduler'.
+	- make all the profiling code conditionned by a config option.
+	  This spare some PCI traffic and C code when this feature is not 
+          needed.
+	- handle more cleanly the situation where direction is unknown.
+	  The pointers patching is now performed by the SCRIPTS processor.
+	- remove some useless scripts instructions.
+
+	Ported from driver 2.5 series:
+        ------------------------------
+	- Use FAST-5 instead of SLOW for slow scsi devices according to 
+	  new SPI-2 draft.
+	- Make some changes in order to accommodate with 875 rev <= 3 
+	  device errata listing 397. Minor consequences are:
+	  . Leave use of PCI Write and Invalidate under user control.
+	    Now, by default the driver does not enable PCI MWI and option
+	    'specf:y' is required in order to enable this feature.
+	  . Memory Read Line is not enabled for 875 and 875-like chips.
+	  . Programmed burst length set to 64 DWORDS (instead of 128).
+	    (Note: SYMBIOS uses 32 DWORDS for the SDMS BIOS)
+	- Add 'buschk' boot option.
+	  This option enables checking of SCSI BUS data lines after SCSI 
+	  RESET (set by default). (Submitted by Richard Waltham).
+	- Update the README file.
+	- Dispatch CONDITION MET and RESERVATION CONFLICT scsi status 
+	  as OK driver status.
+	- Update the README file and the Symbios NVRAM format definition 
+	  with removable media flags values (available with SDMS 4.09).
+	- Several PCI configuration registers fix-ups for powerpc.
+	  (Patch sent by Cort).

+Sat May 12 12:00 2001 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.7.3c
+	- Ensure LEDC bit in GPCNTL is cleared when reading the NVRAM.
+	  Fix sent by Stig Telfer <stig@api-networks.com>.
+	- Backport from SYM-2 the work-around that allows to support 
+	  hardwares that fail PCI parity checking.
+	- Check that we received at least 8 bytes of INQUIRY response 
+	  for byte 7, that contains device capabilities, to be valid.
+	- Define scsi_set_pci_device() as nil for kernel < 2.4.4.
+	- + A couple of minor changes.
+	  
+Sat Apr 7 19:30 2001 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.7.3b
+	- Fix an unaligned LOAD from scripts (was used as dummy read).
+	- In ncr_soft_reset(), only try to ABORT the current operation 
+	  for chips that support SRUN bit in ISTAT1 and if SCRIPTS are 
+	  currently running, as 896 and 1010 manuals suggest.
+	- In the CCB abort path, do not assume that the CCB is currently 
+	  queued to SCRIPTS. This is not always true, notably after a 
+	  QUEUE FULL status or when using untagged commands.
+
+Sun Mar 4 18:30 2001 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.7.3a
+	- Fix an issue in the ncr_int_udc() (unexpected disconnect)
+	  handling. If the DSA didn't match a CCB, a bad write to 
+	  memory could happen.
+
+Mon Feb 12 22:30 2001 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.7.3
+	- Support for hppa.
+	  Tiny patch sent to me by Robert Hirst.
+	- Tiny patch for ia64 sent to me by Pamela Delaney.
+
+Tue Feb 6 13:30 2001 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.7.3-pre1
+	- Call pci_enable_device() as AC wants this to be done.
+	- Get both the BAR cookies used by CPU and actual PCI BAR 
+	  values used from SCRIPTS. Recent PCI chips are able to 
+	  access themselves using internal cycles, but they compare 
+	  BAR values to destination address to make decision.
+	  Earlier chips simply use PCI transactions to access IO 
+	  registers from SCRIPTS.
+	  The bus_dvma_to_mem() interface that reverses the actual 
+	  PCI BAR value from the BAR cookie is now useless.
+	  This point had been discussed at the list and the solution 
+	  got approved by PCI code maintainer (Martin Mares).
+	- Merge changes for linux-2.4 that declare the host template 
+	  in the driver object also when the driver is statically 
+	  linked with the kernel.
+	- Increase SCSI message size up to 12 bytes, given that 8 
+	  bytes was not enough for the PPR message (fix).
+	- Add field 'maxoffs_st' (max offset for ST data transfers).
+	  The C1010 supports offset 62 in DT mode but only 31 in 
+	  ST mode, to 2 different values for the max SCSI offset 
+	  are needed. Replace the obviously wrong masking of the 
+	  offset against 0x1f for ST mode by a lowering to 
+	  maxoffs_st of the SCSI offset in ST mode.
+	- Refine a work-around for the C1010-66. Revision 1 does 
+	  not requires extra cycles in DT DATA OUT phase.
+	- Add a missing endian-ization (abrt_tbl.addr).
+	- Minor clean-up in the np structure for fields accessed 
+	  from SCRIPTS that requires special alignments.
+
+Sun Sep 24 21:30 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.7.2
+	- Remove the hack for PPC added in previous driver version.
+	- Add FE_DAC feature bit to distinguish between 64 bit PCI 
+	  addressing (FE_DAC) and 64 bit PCI interface (FE_64BIT).
+	- Get rid of the boot command line "ultra:" argument.
+	  This parameter wasn't that clever since we can use "sync:" 
+	  for Ultra/Ultra2 settings, and for Ultra3 we may want to 
+	  pass PPR options (for now only DT clocking).
+	- Add FE_VARCLK feature bit that indicates that SCSI clock 
+	  frequency may vary depending on board design and thus, 
+	  the driver should try to evaluate the SCSI clock.
+	- Simplify the way the driver determine the SCSI clock:
+	  ULTRA3 -> 160 MHz, ULTRA2 -> 80 MHz otherwise 40 MHz.
+	  Measure the SCSI clock frequency if FE_VARCLK is set.
+	- Remove FE_CLK80 feature bit that got useless.
+	- Add support for the SYM53C875A (Pamela Delaney).
+
+Wed Jul 26 23:30 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.7.1
+	- Provide OpenFirmware path through the proc FS on PPC.
+	- Download of on-chip SRAM using memcpy_toio() doesn't work 
+	  on PPC. Restore previous method (MEMORY MOVE from SCRIPTS).
+	- Remove trailing argument #2 from a couple of #undefs.
+
+Sun Jul 09 16:30 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.7.0
+	- Remove the PROFILE C and SCRIPTS code.
+	  This facility was not this useful and thus was not longer 
+	  desirable given the increasing complexity of the driver code.
+	- Merges from FreeBSD sym-1.6.2 driver:
+	  * Clarify memory barriers needed by the driver for architectures 
+	    that implement a weak memory ordering.
+	  * Simpler handling of illegal phases and data overrun from 
+	    SCRIPTS. These errors are now immediately reported to 
+	    the C code by an interrupt.
+	  * Sync the residual handling code with sym-1.6.2 and now 
+	    report `resid' to user for linux version >= 2.3.99 
+	- General cleanup:
+	  Move definitions for barriers and IO/MMIO operations to the 
+	  sym53c8xx_defs.h header files. They are now shared by the 
+	  both drivers.
+	  Remove unused options that claimed to optimize for the 896.
+	  If fact, they were not this clever. :)
+	  Use SCSI_NCR_IOMAPPED instead of NCR_IOMAPPED.
+	  Remove a couple of unused fields from data structures.
+
+Thu May 11 12:40 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.6b
+	- Merged version.
+
+Mon Apr 24 12:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5m
+	- Return value 1 (instead of 0) from the driver setup routine.
+	- Do not enable PCI DAC cycles. This just broke support for 
+	  SYM534C896 on sparc64. Problem fixed by David S. Miller.
+
+Fri Apr 14 9:00 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.6b-9
+	- Added 53C1010_66 support.
+	- Small fix to integrity checking code.
+	- Removed requirement for integrity checking if want to run
+	  at ultra 3.
+ 
+Sat Apr 1  12:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5l
+	- Tiny change for __sparc__ appeared in 2.3.99-pre4.1 that 
+	  applies to cache line size (? Probably from David S Miller).
+	- Make sure no data transfer will happen for Scsi_Cmnd requests 
+	  that supply SCSI_DATA_NONE direction (this avoids some BUG() 
+	  statement in the PCI code when a data buffer is also supplied).
+
+Sat Mar 11 12:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.6b-5
+	- Test against expected data transfer direction from SCRIPTS.
+	- Add support for the new dynamic dma mapping kernel interface.
+	  Requires Linux-2.3.47 (tested with pre-2.3.47-6).
+	  Many thanks to David S. Miller for his preliminary changes 
+	  that have been useful guidelines.
+	- Get data transfer direction from the scsi command structure 
+	  (Scsi_Cmnd) with kernels that provide this information.
+
+Mon Mar  6 23:30 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5k
+	- Test against expected data transfer direction from SCRIPTS.
+	- Revert the change in 'ncr_flush_done_cmds()' but unmap the 
+	  scsi dma buffer prior to queueing the command to our done 
+	  list.
+	- Miscellaneous (minor) fixes in the code added in driver 
+	  version 1.5j.
+
+Mon Feb 14 4:00 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+ 	* version sym53c8xx-pre-1.6b-2.
+	- Updated the SCRIPTS error handling of the SWIDE
+	  condition - to remove any reads of the sbdl
+	  register. Changes needed because the 896 and 1010
+	  chips will check parity in some special circumstances.
+	  This will cause a parity error interrupt if not in
+	  data phase.  Changes based on those made in the
+	  FreeBSD driver version 1.3.2.
+
+Sun Feb 20 11:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5j
+	- Add support for the new dynamic dma mapping kernel interface.
+	  Requires Linux-2.3.47 (tested with pre-2.3.47-6).
+	  Many thanks to David S. Miller for his preliminary changes 
+	  that have been useful guidelines, for having reviewed the 
+	  code and having tested this driver version on Ultra-Sparc.
+	- 2 tiny bugs fixed in the PCI wrapper that provides support 
+	  for early kernels without pci device structure.
+	- Get data transfer direction from the scsi command structure 
+	  (Scsi_Cmnd) with kernels that provide this information.
+	- Fix an old bug that only affected 896 rev. 1 when driver 
+	  profile support option was set in kernel configuration.
+
+Fri Jan 14 14:00 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+ 	* version sym53c8xx-pre-1.6b-1.
+	- Merge parallel driver series 1.61 and 1.5e 
+
+Tue Jan 11 14:00 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.61
+	- Added support for mounting disks on wide-narrow-wide
+	  scsi configurations. 
+	- Modified offset to be a maximum of 31 in ST mode, 
+	  62 in DT mode.
+	- Based off of 1.60
+
+Mon Jan 10 10:00 2000 Pam Delaney (pam.delaney@lsil.com)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.60
+	- Added capability to use the integrity checking code
+	  in the kernel (optional).
+	-  Added PPR negotiation.
+	- Added support for 53C1010 Ultra 3 part.
+	- Based off of 1.5f
+
+Sat Jan 8  22:00 2000 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5h
+	- Add year 2000 copyright.
+	- Display correctly bus signals when bus is detected wrong.
+	- Some fix for Sparc from DSM that went directly to kernel tree.
+
+Mon Dec 6  22:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5g
+	- Change messages written by the driver at initialisation and 
+	  through the /proc FS (rather cosmetic changes that consist in
+	  printing out the PCI bus number and PCI device/function).
+	- Ensure the SCRIPTS processor is stopped while calibrating the 
+	  SCSI clock (the initialisation code has been a bit reworked).
+	  Change moved to the FreeBSD sym_hipd driver).
+	- Some fixes in the MODIFY_DP/IGN_RESIDUE code and residual 
+	  calculation (moved from FreeBSD sym_hipd driver).
+	- Add NVRAM support for Tekram boards that use 24C16 EEPROM.
+	  Code moved from the FreeBSD sym_hipd driver, since it has 
+	  been that one that got this feature first.
+	- Definitely disable overlapped PCI arbitration for all dual 
+	  function chips, since I cannot make sure for what chip revisions 
+	  it is actually safe.
+	- Add support for the SYM53C1510D (also for ncr53c8xx).
+	- Fix up properly the PCI latency timer when needed or asked for.
+	- Get rid of the old PCI bios interface, but preserve kernel 2.0 
+	  compatibility from a simple wrapper.
+	- Update the poor Tekram sync factor table.
+	- Fix in a tiny 'printk' bug that may oops in case of extended 
+	  errors (unrecovered parity error, data overrun, etc ...)
+	  (Sent by Pamela Delaney from LSILOGIC)
+	- Remove the compilation condition about having to acquire the 
+	  io_request_lock since it seems to be a definite feature now.:)
+	- Change get_pages by GetPages since Linux >= 2.3.27 now wants 
+	  get_pages to ever be used as a kernel symbol (from 2.3.27).
+	- proc_dir structure no longer needed for kernel >= 2.3.27.
+
+Sun Oct  3  19:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5f
+	- Change the way the driver checks the PCI clock frequency, so 
+	  that overclocked PCI BUS up to 48 MHz will not be refused.
+	  The more the BUS is overclocked, the less the driver will 
+	  guarantee that its measure of the SCSI clock is correct.
+	- Backport some minor improvements of SCRIPTS from the sym_hipd 
+	  driver.
+	- Backport the code rewrite of the START QUEUE dequeuing (on 
+	  bad scsi status received) from the sym_hipd driver.
+
+Sat Sep 11  11:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5e
+	- New linux-2.3.13 __setup scheme support added.
+	- Cleanup of the extended error status handling:
+	  Use 1 bit per error type.
+	- Also save the extended error status prior to auto-sense.
+	- Add the FE_DIFF chip feature bit to indicate support of 
+	  diff probing from GPIO3 (825/825A/876/875).
+	- Remove the quirk handling that has been useless since day one.
+	- Work-around PCI chips being reported twice on some platforms.
+	- Add some redundant PCI reads in order to deal with common 
+	  bridge misbehaviour regarding posted write flushing.
+	- Add some other conditionnal code for people who have to deal 
+	  with really broken bridges (they will have to edit a source 
+	  file to try these options).
+	- Handle correctly (hopefully) jiffies wrap-around.
+	- Restore the entry used to detect 875 until revision 0xff.
+	  (I removed it inadvertently, it seems :) )
+	- Replace __initfunc() which is deprecated stuff by __init which 
+	  is not yet so. ;-)
+	- Rewrite the MESSAGE IN scripts more generic by using a MOVE 
+	  table indirect. Extended messages of any size are accepted now.
+	  (Size is limited to 8 for now, but a constant is just to be 
+	  increased if necessary)
+	- Fix some bug in the fully untested MDP handling:) and share 
+	  some code between MDP handling and residual calculation.
+	- Calculate the data transfer residual as the 2's complement 
+	  integer (A positive value in returned on data overrun, and 
+	  a negative one on underrun).
+	- Add support of some 'resource handling' for linux-2.3.13.
+	  Basically the BARs have been changed to something more complex 
+	  in the pci_dev structure.
+	- Remove some deprecated code.
+
+Sat Jun  5  11:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5c
+	- Do not negotiate on auto-sense if we are currently using 8 bit 
+	  async transfer for the target.
+	- Only check for SISL/RAID on i386 platforms.
+	  (A problem has been reported on PPC with that code).
+	- On MSG REJECT for a negotiation, the driver attempted to restart 
+	  the SCRIPT processor when this one was already running.
+
+Sat May 29  12:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5b
+	- Force negotiation prior auto-sense.
+	  This ensures that the driver will be able to grab the sense data 
+	  from a device that has received a BUS DEVICE RESET message from 
+	  another initiator.
+	- Complete all disconnected CCBs for a logical UNIT if we are told 
+	  about a UNIT ATTENTION for a RESET condition by this target.
+	- Add the control command 'cleardev' that allows to send a ABORT  
+	  message to a logical UNIT (for test purpose).
+
+Tue May 25  23:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5a
+	- Add support for task abort and bus device reset SCSI message 
+	  and implement proper synchonisation with SCRIPTS to handle 
+          correctly task abortion without races.
+	- Send an ABORT message (if untagged) or ABORT TAG message (if tagged)
+	  when the driver is told to abort a command that is disconnected and 
+	  complete the command with appropriate error.
+	  If the aborted command is not yet started, remove it from the start 
+	  queue and complete it with error.
+	- Add the control command 'resetdev' that allows to send a BUS 
+	  DEVICE RESET message to a target (for test purpose).
+	- Clean-up some unused or useless code.
+
+Fri May 21  23:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.5
+	- Add support for CHMOV with Wide controllers.
+	- Handling of the SWIDE (low byte residue at the end of a CHMOV 
+	  in DATA IN phase with WIDE transfer when the byte count gets odd).
+	- Handling of the IGNORE WIDE RESIDUE message.
+	  Handled from SCRIPTS as possible with some optimizations when both 
+	  a wide device and the controller are odd at the same time (SWIDE 
+	  present and IGNORE WIDE RESIDUE message on the BUS at the same time).
+	- Check against data OVERRUN/UNDERRUN condition at the end of a data 
+	  transfer, whatever a SWIDE is present (OVERRUN in DATA IN phase) 
+	  or the SODL is full (UNDERRUN in DATA out phase).
+	- Handling of the MODIFY DATA POINTER message.
+	  This one cannot be handled from SCRIPTS, but hopefully it will not
+	  happen very often. :)
+	- Large rewrite of the SCSI MESSAGE handling.
+
+Sun May 9  11:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.4
+	- Support for IMMEDIATE ARBITRATION.
+	  See the README file for detailed information about this feature.
+	  Requires both a compile option and a boot option.
+	- Minor SCRIPTS optimization in reselection pattern for LUN 0.
+	- Simpler algorithm to deal with SCSI command starvation.
+	  Just use 2 tag counters in flip/flop and switch to the other 
+	  one every 3 seconds.
+	- Do some work in SCRIPTS after the SELECT instruction and prior 
+	  to testing for a PHASE. SYMBIOS say this feature is working fine. 
+	  (Btw, only problems with Toshiba 3401B had been reported).
+	- Measure the PCI clock speed and do not attach controllers if 
+	  result is greater than 37 MHz. Since the precision of the 
+	  algorithm (from Stefan Esser) is better than 2%, this should 
+	  be fine.
+	- Fix the misdetection of SYM53C875E (was detected as a 876).
+	- Fix the misdetection of SYM53C810 not A (was detected as a 810A).
+	- Support for up to 256 TAGS per LUN (CMD_PER_LUN).
+	  Currently limited to 255 due to Linux limitation. :)
+	- Support for up to 508 active commands (CAN_QUEUE).
+	- Support for the 53C895A by Pamela Delaney <pam.delaney@lsil.com>
+	  The 53C895A contains all of the features of the 896 but has only 
+	  one channel and has a 32 bit PCI bus. It does 64 bit PCI addressing 
+	  using dual cycle PCI data transfers.
+	- Miscellaneous minor fixes.
+	- Some additions to the README.ncr53c8xx file.
+
+Tue Apr 15  10:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.3e
+	- Support for any number of LUNs (64) (SPI2-compliant).
+	  (Btw, this may only be ever useful under linux-2.2 ;-))
+
+Sun Apr 11  10:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.3d
+	- Add 'hostid:#id' boot option. This option allows to change the 
+	  default SCSI id the driver uses for controllers.
+	- Make SCRIPTS not use self-mastering for PCI.
+	  There were still 2 places the driver used this feature of the 
+	  53C8XX family.
+	- Move some data structures (nvram layouts and driver set-up) to 
+	  the sym53c8xx_defs.h file. So, the both drivers will share them.
+	- Set MAX LUNS to 16 (instead of 8).
+
+Sat Mar 20  21:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.3b
+	- Add support for NCR PQS PDS.
+	  James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@columbiasc.ncr.com>
+	- Allow value 0 for host ID.
+	- Support more than 8 controllers (> 40 in fact :-) )
+	- Add 'excl=#ioaddr' boot option: exclude controller.
+	  (Version 1.3a driver)
+
+Thu Mar 11  23:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.3   (8xx-896 driver bundle)
+	- Equivalent changes as ncr53c8xx-3.2 due to the driver bundle.
+	  (See Changelog.ncr53c8xx)
+	- Do a normal soft reset as first chip reset, since aborting current 
+	  operation may raise an interrupt we are not able to handle since 
+	  the interrupt handler is not yet established.
+
+Sat Mar 6  11:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.2b
+	- Fix some oooold bug that hangs the bus if a device rejects a 
+	  negotiation. Btw, the corresponding stuff also needed some cleanup 
+	  and thus the change is a bit larger than it could have been.
+	- Still some typo that made compilation fail for 64 bit (trivial fix).
+
+Sun Feb 21  20:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.2a
+	- The rewrite of the interrupt handling broke the SBMC interrupt 
+	  handling due to a 1 bit mask tiny error. Hopefully fixed.
+	- If INQUIRY came from a scatter list, the driver looked into 
+	  the scatterlist instead of the data.:) Since this should never
+	  happen, we just discard the data if use_sg is not zero.
+
+Fri Feb 12  23:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.2
+	- Major rewrite of the interrupt handling and recovery stuff for 
+	  the support of non compliant SCSI removal, insertion and all 
+	  kinds of screw-up that may happen on the SCSI BUS.
+	  Hopefully, the driver is now unbreakable or may-be, it is just 
+	  quite brocken. :-)
+	  Many thanks to Johnson Russel (Symbios) for having responded to 
+	  my questions and for his interesting advices and comments about 
+	  support of SCSI hot-plug.
+	- Add 'recovery' option to driver set-up.
+	- Negotiate SYNC data transfers with CCS devices.
+	- Deal correctly with 64 bit PCI address registers on Linux 2.2.
+	  Pointed out by Leonard Zubkoff.
+
+Sun Jan 31  18:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.1a
+	- Some 896 chip revisions (all for now :-)), may hang-up if the 
+	  soft reset bit is set at the wrong time while SCRIPTS are running.
+	  We need to first abort the current SCRIPTS operation prior to 
+	  resetting the chip. This fix has been sent to me by SYMBIOS/LSI 
+	  and I just translated it into ncr53c8xx syntax.
+	  Must be considered 100 % trustable, unless I did some mistake 
+	  when translating it. :-)
+
+Sun Jan 24  18:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.1
+	- Major rewrite of the SCSI parity error handling.
+	  The informations contained in the data manuals are incomplete about 
+	  this feature.
+	  I asked SYMBIOS about and got in reply the explanations that are 
+	  _indeed_ missing in the data manuals.
+	- Allow to tune request_irq() flags from the boot command line using 
+	  ncr53c8xx=irqm:??, as follows:
+	  a) If bit 0x10 is set in irqm, SA_SHIRQ flag is not used.
+	  b) If bit 0x20 is set in irqm, SA_INTERRUPT flag is not used.
+	  By default the driver uses both SA_SHIRQ and SA_INTERRUPT.
+	  Option 'ncr53c8xx=irqm:0x20' may be used when an IRQ is shared by 
+	  a 53C8XX adapter and a network board.
+	- Fix for 64 bit PCI address register calculation. (Lance Robinson)
+	- Fix for big-endian in phase mismatch handling. (Michal Jaegermann)
+
+Fri Jan  1  20:00 1999 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.0a
+	- Waiting list look-up didn't work for the first command of the list.
+	  Hopefully fixed, but tested on paper only. ;)
+	- Remove the most part of PPC specific code for Linux-2.2.
+	  Thanks to Cort.
+	- Some other minors changes.
+
+Sat Dec 19  21:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version sym53c8xx-1.0
+	- Define some new IO registers for the 896 (istat1, mbox0, mbox1)
+	- Revamp slightly the Symbios NVRAM lay-out based on the excerpt of 
+	  the header file I received from Symbios.
+	- Check the PCI bus number for the boot order (Using a fast 
+	  PCI controller behing a PCI-PCI bridge seems sub-optimal).
+	- Disable overlapped PCI arbitration for the 896 revision 1.
+	- Reduce a bit the number of IO register reads for phase mismatch 
+	  by reading DWORDS at a time instead of BYTES.
+
+Thu Dec  3  24:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version pre-sym53c8xx-0.18
+	- I received this afternoon a 896 from SYMBIOS and started testing  
+	  the driver with this beast. After having fixed 3 buglets, it worked  
+	  with all features enabled including the phase mismatch handling 
+	  from SCRIPTS. Since this feature is not yet tested enough, the 
+	  boot option 'ncr53c8xx=specf:1' is still required to enable the 
+	  driver to handle PM from SCRIPTS. 
+
+Sun Nov 29  18:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version pre-sym53c8xx-0.17
+	- The SISL RAID change requires now remap_pci_mem() stuff to be 
+	  compiled for __i386__ when normal IOs are used.
+	- The PCI memory read from SCRIPTS that should ensure ordering 
+	  was in fact misplaced. BTW, this may explain why broken PCI 
+	  device drivers regarding ordering are working so well. ;-)
+	- Rewrite ncr53c8xx_setup (boot command line options) since the  
+	  binary code was a bit too bloated in my opinion.
+	- Make the code simpler in the wakeup_done routine.
+
+Tue Nov 24  23:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version pre-sym53c8xx-0.16
+	- Add SCSI_NCR_OPTIMIZE_896_1 compile option and 'optim' boot option.
+	  When set, the driver unconditionnaly assumes that the interrupt 
+	  handler is called for command completion, then clears INTF, scans 
+	  the done queue and returns if some completed CCB is found. If no 
+	  completed CCB are found, interrupt handling will proceed normally.
+	  With a 896 that handles MA from SCRIPTS, this can be a great win, 
+	  since the driver will never performs PCI read transactions, but 
+	  only PCI write transactions that may be posted.
+	  If the driver haven't to also raise the SIGP this would be perfect.
+	  Even with this penalty, I think that this will work great.
+	  Obviously this optimization makes sense only if the IRQ is not 
+	  shared with another device.
+	- Still a buglet in the tags initial settings that needed to be fixed.
+	  It was not possible to disable TGQ at system startup for devices 
+	  that claim TGQ support. The driver used at least 2 for the queue 
+	  depth but did'nt keep track of user settings for tags depth lower 
+	  than 2.
+
+Thu Nov 19  23:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version pre-sym53c8xx-0.15
+	- Add support for hardware LED control of the 896.
+	- Ignore chips that are driven by SISL RAID (DAC 960).
+	  Change sent by Leonard Zubkoff and slightly reworked.
+	- Prevent 810A rev 11 and 860 rev 1 from using cache line based 
+	  transactions since those early chip revisions may use such on 
+	  LOAD/STORE instructions (work-around).
+	- Remove some useless and bloat code from the pci init stuff.
+	- Do not use the readX()/writeX() kernel functions for __i386__, 
+	  since they perform useless masking operations in order to deal 
+	  with broken driver in 2.1.X kernel.
+
+Wed Nov 11  10:00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version pre-sym53c8xx-0.14
+	- The driver was unhappy when configured with default_tags > MAX_TAGS
+	  Hopefully doubly-fixed.
+	- Set PCI_PARITY in PCI_COMMAND register in not set (PCI fix-up).
+	- Print out some message if phase mismatch is handled from SCRIPTS.
+
+Sun Nov 1  14H00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version pre-sym53c8xx-0.13
+	- Some rewrite of the device detection code. This code had been 
+	  patched too much and needed to be face-lifted a bit.
+	  Remove all platform dependent fix-ups that was not needed or
+	  conflicted with some other driver code as work-arounds.
+	  Reread the NVRAM before the calling of ncr_attach(). This spares 
+	  stack space and so allows to handle more boards.
+	  Handle 64 bit base addresses under linux-2.0.X.
+	  Set MASTER bit in PCI COMMAND register if not set.
+
+Wed Oct 30 22H00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version pre-sym53c8xx-0.12
+	- Damned! I just broke the driver for Alpha by leaving a stale 
+	  instruction in the source code. Hopefully fixed.
+	- Do not set PFEN when it is useless. Doing so we are sure that BOF 
+	  will be active, since the manual appears to be very unclear on what 
+	  feature is actually used by the chip when both PFEN and BOF are 
+	  set.
+
+Sat Oct 24 16H00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version pre-sym53c8xx-0.11
+	- LOAD/STORE instructions were miscompiled for register offsets 
+	  beyond 0x7f. This broke accesses to 896' new registers.
+	- Disable by default Phase Mismatch handling from SCRIPTS, since 
+	  current 896 rev.1 seems not to operate safely with the driver
+	  when this feature is enabled (and above LOAD/STORE fix applied).
+	  I will change the default to 'enabled' when this problem will be 
+	  solved.
+	  Using boot option 'ncr53c8xx=specf:1' enables this feature.
+	- Implement a work-around (DEL 472 - ITEM 5) that should allow the 
+	  driver to safely enable hardware phase mismatch with 896 rev. 1.
+
+Tue Oct 20 22H00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version pre-sym53c8xx-0.10
+	- Add the 53c876 description to the chip table. This is only useful 
+	  for printing the right name of the controller.
+	- Add additional checking of INQUIRY data:
+	  Check INQUIRY data received length is at least 7. Byte 7 of 
+	  inquiry data contains device features bits and the driver might 
+	  be confused by garbage. Also check peripheral qualifier.
+	- Use a 1,3,5,...MAXTAGS*2+1 tag numbering. Previous driver could  
+	  use any tag number from 1 to 253 and some non conformant devices  
+	  might have problems with large tag numbers.
+	- Use NAME53C and NAME53C8XX for chip name prefix chip family name.
+	  Just give a try using "sym53c" and "sym53c8xx" instead of "ncr53c" 
+	  and "ncr53c8xx". :-)
+
+Sun Oct 11 17H00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version pre-sym53c8xx-0.9
+	- DEL-441 Item 2 work-around for the 53c876 rev <= 5 (0x15).
+	- Break ncr_scatter() into 2 functions in order to guarantee best 
+	  possible code optimization for the case we get a scatter list.
+	- Add the code intended to support up to 1 tera-byte for 64 bit systems.
+	  It is probably too early, but I wanted to complete the thing.
+
+Sat Oct 3 14H00 1998 Gerard Roudier (groudier@club-internet.fr)
+	* version pre-sym53c8xx-0.8
+	- Do some testing with io_mapped and fix what needed to be so.
+	- Wait for SCSI selection to complete or time-out immediately after 
+	  the chip won arbitration, since executing SCRIPTS while the SCSI 
+	  core is performing SCSI selection breaks the selection procedure 
+	  at least for some chip revisions.
+	- Interrupt the SCRIPTS if a device does not go to MSG OUT phase after 
+	  having been selected with ATN. Such a situation is not recoverable, 
+	  better to fail when we are stuck.

+Sat Jan 20 18:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.4-20010120
+	- Add year 2001 to Copyright.
+	- A tiny bug in the dma memory freeing path has been fixed.
+	  (Driver unload failed with a bad address reference).
+
+Wed Jan 24 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.5-20010124
+	- Make the driver work under Linux-2.4.x when statically linked 
+	  with the kernel.
+	- Check against memory allocation failure for SCRIPTZ and add the 
+	  missing free of this memory on instance detach.
+	- Check against GPIO3 pulled low for HVD controllers (driver did 
+	  just the opposite).
+	  Misdetection of BUS mode was triggered on module reload only, 
+	  since BIOS settings were trusted instead on first load.
+
+Wed Feb 7 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.6-20010207
+	- Call pci_enable_device() as wished by kernel maintainers.
+	- Change the sym_queue_scsiio() interface.
+	  This is intended to simplify portability.
+	- Move the code intended to deal with the dowloading of SCRIPTS 
+	  from SCRIPTS :) in the patch method (was wrongly placed in 
+	  the SCRIPTS setup method).
+	- Add a missing cpu_to_scr()  (np->abort_tbl.addr)
+	- Remove a wrong cpu_to_scr() (np->targtbl_ba)
+	- Cleanup a bit the PPR failure recovery code.
+
+Sat Mar 3 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	- Add option SYM_OPT_ANNOUNCE_TRANSFER_RATE and move the 
+	  corresponding code to file sym_misc.c.
+	  Also move the code that sniffes INQUIRY to sym_misc.c.
+	  This allows to share the corresponding code with NetBSD 
+	  without polluating the core driver source (sym_hipd.c).
+	- Add optionnal code that handles IO timeouts from the driver.
+	  (not used under Linux, but required for NetBSD)
+	- Donnot assume any longer that PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_SIZE are 
+	  defined at compile time, as at least NetBSD uses variables 
+	  in memory for that.
+	- Refine a work-around for the C1010-33 that consists in 
+	  disabling internal LOAD/STORE. Was applied up to revision 1.
+	  Is now only applied to revision 0.
+	- Some code reorganisations due to code moves between files.
+
+Tues Apr 10 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.9-20010412
+	- Reset 53C896 and 53C1010 chip according to the manual.
+	  (i.e.: set the ABRT bit in ISTAT if SCRIPTS are running)
+	- Set #LUN in request sense only if scsi version <= 2 and
+	  #LUN <= 7.
+	- Set busy_itl in LCB to 1 if the LCB is allocated and a 
+	  SCSI command is active. This is a simplification.
+	- In sym_hcb_free(), do not scan the free_ccbq if no CCBs 
+	  has been allocated. This fixes a panic if attach failed.
+	- Add DT/ST (double/simple transition) in the transfer 
+	  negotiation announce.
+	- Forces the max number of tasks per LUN to at least 64.
+	- Use pci_set_dma_mask() for linux-2.4.3 and above.
+	- A couple of comments fixes.
+
+Wed May 22:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.10-20010509
+	- Mask GPCNTL against 0x1c (was 0xfc) for the reading of the NVRAM.
+	  This ensure LEDC bit will not be set on 896 and later chips.
+	  Fix sent by Chip Salzenberg <chip@perlsupport.com>.
+	- Define the number of PQS BUSes supported.
+	  Fix sent by Stig Telfer <stig@api-networks.com>
+	- Miscellaneous common code rearrangements due to NetBSD accel 
+	  ioctl support, without impact on Linux (hopefully).
+
+Mon July 2 12:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.11-20010702
+	- Add Tekram 390 U2B/U2W SCSI LED handling.
+	  Submitted by Chip Salzenberg <chip@valinux.com>
+	- Add call to scsi_set_pci_device() for kernels >= 2.4.4.
+	- Check pci dma mapping failures and complete the IO with some 
+	  error when such mapping fails.
+	- Fill in instance->max_cmd_len for kernels > 2.4.0.
+	- A couple of tiny fixes ...
+
+Sun Sep 9 18:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.12-20010909
+	- Change my email address.
+	- Add infrastructure for the forthcoming 64 bit DMA addressing support.
+	  (Based on PCI 64 bit patch from David S. Miller)
+	- Donnot use anymore vm_offset_t type.
+
+Sat Sep 15 20:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.13-20010916
+	- Add support for 64 bit DMA addressing using segment registers.
+	  16 registers for up to 4 GB x 16 -> 64 GB.
+
+Sat Sep 22 12:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.14-20010922
+	- Complete rewrite of the eh handling. The driver is now using a 
+	  semaphore in order to behave synchronously as required by the eh 
+	  threads. A timer is also used to prevent from waiting indefinitely.
+
+Sun Sep 30 17:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.15-20010930
+	- Include <linux/module.h> unconditionnaly as expected by latest
+	  kernels.
+	- Use del_timer_sync() for recent kernels to kill the driver timer 
+	  on module release.
+
+Sun Oct 28 15:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.16-20011028
+	- Slightly simplify driver configuration.
+	- Prepare a new patch against linux-2.4.13.
+
+Sat Nov 17 10:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.17
+	- Fix a couple of gcc/gcc3 warnings.
+	- Allocate separately from the HCB the array for CCBs hashed by DSA.
+	  All driver memory allocations are now not greater than 1 PAGE 
+	  even on PPC64 / 4KB PAGE surprising setup.
+
+Sat Dec 01 18:00 2001 Gerard Roudier 
+	* version sym-2.1.17a
+	- Use u_long instead of U32 for the IO base cookie. This is more 
+	  consistent with what archs are expecting.
+	- Use MMIO per default for Power PC instead of some fake normal IO,
+	  as Paul Mackerras stated that MMIO works fine now on this arch.

+			       ANNOUNCEMENT
+	       BusLogic FlashPoint LT/BT-948 Upgrade Program
+			      1 February 1996
+
+			  ADDITIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT
+	       BusLogic FlashPoint LW/BT-958 Upgrade Program
+			       14 June 1996
+
+  Ever since its introduction last October, the BusLogic FlashPoint LT has
+  been problematic for members of the Linux community, in that no Linux
+  drivers have been available for this new Ultra SCSI product.  Despite its
+  officially being positioned as a desktop workstation product, and not being
+  particularly well suited for a high performance multitasking operating
+  system like Linux, the FlashPoint LT has been touted by computer system
+  vendors as the latest thing, and has been sold even on many of their high
+  end systems, to the exclusion of the older MultiMaster products.  This has
+  caused grief for many people who inadvertently purchased a system expecting
+  that all BusLogic SCSI Host Adapters were supported by Linux, only to
+  discover that the FlashPoint was not supported and would not be for quite
+  some time, if ever.
+
+  After this problem was identified, BusLogic contacted its major OEM
+  customers to make sure the BT-946C/956C MultiMaster cards would still be
+  made available, and that Linux users who mistakenly ordered systems with
+  the FlashPoint would be able to upgrade to the BT-946C.  While this helped
+  many purchasers of new systems, it was only a partial solution to the
+  overall problem of FlashPoint support for Linux users.  It did nothing to
+  assist the people who initially purchased a FlashPoint for a supported
+  operating system and then later decided to run Linux, or those who had
+  ended up with a FlashPoint LT, believing it was supported, and were unable
+  to return it.
+
+  In the middle of December, I asked to meet with BusLogic's senior
+  management to discuss the issues related to Linux and free software support
+  for the FlashPoint.  Rumors of varying accuracy had been circulating
+  publicly about BusLogic's attitude toward the Linux community, and I felt
+  it was best that these issues be addressed directly.  I sent an email
+  message after 11pm one evening, and the meeting took place the next
+  afternoon.  Unfortunately, corporate wheels sometimes grind slowly,
+  especially when a company is being acquired, and so it's taken until now
+  before the details were completely determined and a public statement could
+  be made.
+
+  BusLogic is not prepared at this time to release the information necessary
+  for third parties to write drivers for the FlashPoint.  The only existing
+  FlashPoint drivers have been written directly by BusLogic Engineering, and
+  there is no FlashPoint documentation sufficiently detailed to allow outside
+  developers to write a driver without substantial assistance.  While there
+  are people at BusLogic who would rather not release the details of the
+  FlashPoint architecture at all, that debate has not yet been settled either
+  way.  In any event, even if documentation were available today it would
+  take quite a while for a usable driver to be written, especially since I'm
+  not convinced that the effort required would be worthwhile.
+
+  However, BusLogic does remain committed to providing a high performance
+  SCSI solution for the Linux community, and does not want to see anyone left
+  unable to run Linux because they have a Flashpoint LT.  Therefore, BusLogic
+  has put in place a direct upgrade program to allow any Linux user worldwide
+  to trade in their FlashPoint LT for the new BT-948 MultiMaster PCI Ultra
+  SCSI Host Adapter.  The BT-948 is the Ultra SCSI successor to the BT-946C
+  and has all the best features of both the BT-946C and FlashPoint LT,
+  including smart termination and a flash PROM for easy firmware updates, and
+  is of course compatible with the present Linux driver.  The price for this
+  upgrade has been set at US $45 plus shipping and handling, and the upgrade
+  program will be administered through BusLogic Technical Support, which can
+  be reached by electronic mail at techsup@buslogic.com, by Voice at +1 408
+  654-0760, or by FAX at +1 408 492-1542.
+
+  As of 14 June 1996, the original BusLogic FlashPoint LT to BT-948 upgrade
+  program has now been extended to encompass the FlashPoint LW Wide Ultra
+  SCSI Host Adapter.  Any Linux user worldwide may trade in their FlashPoint
+  LW (BT-950) for a BT-958 MultiMaster PCI Ultra SCSI Host Adapter.  The
+  price for this upgrade has been set at US $65 plus shipping and handling.
+
+  I was a beta test site for the BT-948/958, and versions 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 of
+  my BusLogic driver already included latent support for the BT-948/958.
+  Additional cosmetic support for the Ultra SCSI MultiMaster cards was added
+  subsequent releases.  As a result of this cooperative testing process,
+  several firmware bugs were found and corrected.  My heavily loaded Linux
+  test system provided an ideal environment for testing error recovery
+  processes that are much more rarely exercised in production systems, but
+  are crucial to overall system stability.  It was especially convenient
+  being able to work directly with their firmware engineer in demonstrating
+  the problems under control of the firmware debugging environment; things
+  sure have come a long way since the last time I worked on firmware for an
+  embedded system.  I am presently working on some performance testing and
+  expect to have some data to report in the not too distant future.
+
+  BusLogic asked me to send this announcement since a large percentage of the
+  questions regarding support for the FlashPoint have either been sent to me
+  directly via email, or have appeared in the Linux newsgroups in which I
+  participate.  To summarize, BusLogic is offering Linux users an upgrade
+  from the unsupported FlashPoint LT (BT-930) to the supported BT-948 for US
+  $45 plus shipping and handling, or from the unsupported FlashPoint LW
+  (BT-950) to the supported BT-958 for $65 plus shipping and handling.
+  Contact BusLogic Technical Support at techsup@buslogic.com or +1 408
+  654-0760 to take advantage of their offer.

+WorkBiT NinjaSCSI-3/32Bi driver for Linux
+=========================================
+
+1. Comment
+==========
+
+This is Workbit corp.'s(http://www.workbit.co.jp/) NinjaSCSI-3
+for Linux.
+
+2. My Linux environment
+=======================
+
+:Linux kernel: 2.4.7 / 2.2.19
+:pcmcia-cs:    3.1.27
+:gcc:          gcc-2.95.4
+:PC card:      I-O data PCSC-F (NinjaSCSI-3),
+               I-O data CBSC-II in 16 bit mode (NinjaSCSI-32Bi)
+:SCSI device:  I-O data CDPS-PX24 (CD-ROM drive),
+               Media Intelligent MMO-640GT (Optical disk drive)
+
+3. Install
+==========
+
+(a) Check your PC card is true "NinjaSCSI-3" card.
+
+    If you installed pcmcia-cs already, pcmcia reports your card as UNKNOWN
+    card, and write ["WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"] or some other string to
+    your console or log file.
+
+    You can also use "cardctl" program (this program is in pcmcia-cs source
+    code) to get more info.
+
+    ::
+
+	# cat /var/log/messages
+	...
+	Jan  2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]: unsupported card in socket 1
+	Jan  2 03:45:06 lindberg cardmgr[78]:   product info: "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"
+	...
+	# cardctl ident
+	Socket 0:
+	  no product info available
+	Socket 1:
+	  product info: "IO DATA", "CBSC16       ", "1"
+
+
+(b) Get the Linux kernel source, and extract it to /usr/src.
+    Because the NinjaSCSI driver requires some SCSI header files in Linux 
+    kernel source, I recommend rebuilding your kernel; this eliminates 
+    some versioning problems.
+
+    ::
+
+	$ cd /usr/src
+	$ tar -zxvf linux-x.x.x.tar.gz
+	$ cd linux
+	$ make config
+	...
+
+(c) If you use this driver with Kernel 2.2, unpack pcmcia-cs in some directory
+    and make & install. This driver requires the pcmcia-cs header file.
+
+    ::
+
+	$ cd /usr/src
+	$ tar zxvf cs-pcmcia-cs-3.x.x.tar.gz
+	...
+
+(d) Extract this driver's archive somewhere, and edit Makefile, then do make::
+
+	$ tar -zxvf nsp_cs-x.x.tar.gz
+	$ cd nsp_cs-x.x
+	$ emacs Makefile
+	...
+	$ make
+
+(e) Copy nsp_cs.ko to suitable place, like /lib/modules/<Kernel version>/pcmcia/ .
+
+(f) Add these lines to /etc/pcmcia/config .
+
+    If you use pcmcia-cs-3.1.8 or later, we can use "nsp_cs.conf" file.
+    So, you don't need to edit file. Just copy to /etc/pcmcia/ .
+
+    ::
+
+	device "nsp_cs"
+	  class "scsi" module "nsp_cs"
+
+	card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-3"
+	  version "WBT", "NinjaSCSI-3", "R1.0"
+	  bind "nsp_cs"
+
+	card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit)"
+	  version "WORKBIT", "UltraNinja-16", "1"
+	  bind "nsp_cs"
+
+	# OEM
+	card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / IO-DATA"
+	  version "IO DATA", "CBSC16       ", "1"
+	  bind "nsp_cs"
+
+	# OEM
+	card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-1"
+	  version "KME    ", "SCSI-CARD-001", "1"
+	  bind "nsp_cs"
+	card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-2"
+	  version "KME    ", "SCSI-CARD-002", "1"
+	  bind "nsp_cs"
+	card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-3"
+	  version "KME    ", "SCSI-CARD-003", "1"
+	  bind "nsp_cs"
+	card "WorkBit NinjaSCSI-32Bi (16bit) / KME-4"
+	  version "KME    ", "SCSI-CARD-004", "1"
+	  bind "nsp_cs"
+
+(f) Start (or restart) pcmcia-cs::
+
+	# /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia start        (BSD style)
+
+    or::
+
+	# /etc/init.d/pcmcia start         (SYSV style)
+
+
+4. History
+==========
+
+See README.nin_cs .
+
+5. Caution
+==========
+
+If you eject card when doing some operation for your SCSI device or suspend
+your computer, you encount some *BAD* error like disk crash.
+
+It works good when I using this driver right way. But I'm not guarantee
+your data. Please backup your data when you use this driver.
+
+6. Known Bugs
+=============
+
+In 2.4 kernel, you can't use 640MB Optical disk. This error comes from
+high level SCSI driver.
+
+7. Testing
+==========
+
+Please send me some reports(bug reports etc..) of this software.
+When you send report, please tell me these or more.
+
+	- card name
+	- kernel version
+	- your SCSI device name(hard drive, CD-ROM, etc...)

+Introduction
+============
+The aacraid driver adds support for Adaptec (http://www.adaptec.com)
+RAID controllers. This is a major rewrite from the original
+Adaptec supplied driver. It has significantly cleaned up both the code
+and the running binary size (the module is less than half the size of
+the original).

+AdvanSys Driver Notes
+=====================
+
+AdvanSys (Advanced System Products, Inc.) manufactures the following
+RISC-based, Bus-Mastering, Fast (10 Mhz) and Ultra (20 Mhz) Narrow
+(8-bit transfer) SCSI Host Adapters for the ISA, EISA, VL, and PCI
+buses and RISC-based, Bus-Mastering, Ultra (20 Mhz) Wide (16-bit
+transfer) SCSI Host Adapters for the PCI bus.
+
+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 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.

+Adaptec AHA-1520/1522 SCSI driver for Linux (aha152x)
+=====================================================
+
+Copyright |copy| 1993-1999 Jürgen Fischer <fischer@norbit.de>
+
+TC1550 patches by Luuk van Dijk (ldz@xs4all.nl)
+
+
+In Revision 2 the driver was modified a lot (especially the
+bottom-half handler complete()).
+
+The driver is much cleaner now, has support for the new
+error handling code in 2.3, produced less cpu load (much
+less polling loops), has slightly higher throughput (at
+least on my ancient test box; a i486/33Mhz/20MB).
+
+
+Configuration Arguments
+=======================
+
+============  ========================================  ======================
+IOPORT        base io address                           (0x340/0x140)
+IRQ           interrupt level                           (9-12; default 11)
+SCSI_ID       scsi id of controller                     (0-7; default 7)
+RECONNECT     allow targets to disconnect from the bus  (0/1; default 1 [on])
+PARITY        enable parity checking                    (0/1; default 1 [on])
+SYNCHRONOUS   enable synchronous transfers              (0/1; default 1 [on])
+DELAY:        bus reset delay                           (default 100)
+EXT_TRANS:    enable extended translation               (0/1: default 0 [off])
+              (see NOTES)
+============  ========================================  ======================
+
+Compile Time Configuration
+==========================
+
+(go into AHA152X in drivers/scsi/Makefile):
+
+- DAUTOCONF
+    use configuration the controller reports (AHA-152x only)
+
+- DSKIP_BIOSTEST
+    Don't test for BIOS signature (AHA-1510 or disabled BIOS)
+
+- DSETUP0="{ IOPORT, IRQ, SCSI_ID, RECONNECT, PARITY, SYNCHRONOUS, DELAY, EXT_TRANS }"
+    override for the first controller
+
+- DSETUP1="{ IOPORT, IRQ, SCSI_ID, RECONNECT, PARITY, SYNCHRONOUS, DELAY, EXT_TRANS }"
+    override for the second controller
+
+- DAHA152X_DEBUG
+    enable debugging output
+
+- DAHA152X_STAT
+    enable some statistics
+
+
+LILO Command Line Options
+=========================
+
+ ::
+
+    aha152x=<IOPORT>[,<IRQ>[,<SCSI-ID>[,<RECONNECT>[,<PARITY>[,<SYNCHRONOUS>[,<DELAY> [,<EXT_TRANS]]]]]]]
+
+ The normal configuration can be overridden by specifying a command line.
+ When you do this, the BIOS test is skipped. Entered values have to be
+ valid (known).  Don't use values that aren't supported under normal
+ operation.  If you think that you need other values: contact me.
+ For two controllers use the aha152x statement twice.
+
+
+Symbols for Module Configuration
+================================
+
+Choose from 2 alternatives:
+
+1. specify everything (old)::
+
+    aha152x=IOPORT,IRQ,SCSI_ID,RECONNECT,PARITY,SYNCHRONOUS,DELAY,EXT_TRANS
+
+  configuration override for first controller
+
+  ::
+
+    aha152x1=IOPORT,IRQ,SCSI_ID,RECONNECT,PARITY,SYNCHRONOUS,DELAY,EXT_TRANS
+
+  configuration override for second controller
+
+2. specify only what you need to (irq or io is required; new)
+
+io=IOPORT0[,IOPORT1]
+  IOPORT for first and second controller
+
+irq=IRQ0[,IRQ1]
+  IRQ for first and second controller
+
+scsiid=SCSIID0[,SCSIID1]
+  SCSIID for first and second controller
+
+reconnect=RECONNECT0[,RECONNECT1]
+  allow targets to disconnect for first and second controller
+
+parity=PAR0[PAR1]
+  use parity for first and second controller
+
+sync=SYNCHRONOUS0[,SYNCHRONOUS1]
+  enable synchronous transfers for first and second controller
+
+delay=DELAY0[,DELAY1]
+  reset DELAY for first and second controller
+
+exttrans=EXTTRANS0[,EXTTRANS1]
+  enable extended translation for first and second controller
+
+
+If you use both alternatives the first will be taken.
+
+
+Notes on EXT_TRANS
+==================
+
+SCSI uses block numbers to address blocks/sectors on a device.
+The BIOS uses a cylinder/head/sector addressing scheme (C/H/S)
+scheme instead.  DOS expects a BIOS or driver that understands this
+C/H/S addressing.
+
+The number of cylinders/heads/sectors is called geometry and is required
+as base for requests in C/H/S addressing.  SCSI only knows about the
+total capacity of disks in blocks (sectors).
+
+Therefore the SCSI BIOS/DOS driver has to calculate a logical/virtual
+geometry just to be able to support that addressing scheme.  The geometry
+returned by the SCSI BIOS is a pure calculation and has nothing to
+do with the real/physical geometry of the disk (which is usually
+irrelevant anyway).
+
+Basically this has no impact at all on Linux, because it also uses block
+instead of C/H/S addressing.  Unfortunately C/H/S addressing is also used
+in the partition table and therefore every operating system has to know
+the right geometry to be able to interpret it.
+
+Moreover there are certain limitations to the C/H/S addressing scheme,
+namely the address space is limited to up to 255 heads, up to 63 sectors
+and a maximum of 1023 cylinders.
+
+The AHA-1522 BIOS calculates the geometry by fixing the number of heads
+to 64, the number of sectors to 32 and by calculating the number of
+cylinders by dividing the capacity reported by the disk by 64*32 (1 MB).
+This is considered to be the default translation.
+
+With respect to the limit of 1023 cylinders using C/H/S you can only
+address the first GB of your disk in the partition table.  Therefore
+BIOSes of some newer controllers based on the AIC-6260/6360 support
+extended translation.  This means that the BIOS uses 255 for heads,
+63 for sectors and then divides the capacity of the disk by 255*63
+(about 8 MB), as soon it sees a disk greater than 1 GB.  That results
+in a maximum of about 8 GB addressable diskspace in the partition table
+(but there are already bigger disks out there today).
+
+To make it even more complicated the translation mode might/might
+not be configurable in certain BIOS setups.
+
+This driver does some more or less failsafe guessing to get the
+geometry right in most cases:
+
+- for disks<1GB: use default translation (C/32/64)
+
+- for disks>1GB:
+
+  - take current geometry from the partition table
+    (using scsicam_bios_param and accept only 'valid' geometries,
+    ie. either (C/32/64) or (C/63/255)).  This can be extended translation
+    even if it's not enabled in the driver.
+
+  - if that fails, take extended translation if enabled by override,
+    kernel or module parameter, otherwise take default translation and
+    ask the user for verification.  This might on not yet partitioned
+    disks.

+
+2. Version History
+==================
+
+
+ * 3.0	  (December 1st, 2005)
+	- Updated driver to use SCSI transport class infrastructure
+	- Upported sequencer and core fixes from adaptec released
+	  version 2.0.15 of the driver.
+
+ * 1.3.11 (July 11, 2003)
+        - Fix several deadlock issues.
+        - Add 29320ALP and 39320B Id's.
+
+ * 1.3.10 (June 3rd, 2003)
+        - Align the SCB_TAG field on a 16byte boundary.  This avoids
+          SCB corruption on some PCI-33 busses.
+        - Correct non-zero luns on Rev B. hardware.
+        - Update for change in 2.5.X SCSI proc FS interface.
+        - When negotiation async via an 8bit WDTR message, send
+          an SDTR with an offset of 0 to be sure the target
+          knows we are async.  This works around a firmware defect
+          in the Quantum Atlas 10K.
+        - Implement controller suspend and resume.
+        - Clear PCI error state during driver attach so that we
+          don't disable memory mapped I/O due to a stray write
+          by some other driver probe that occurred before we
+          claimed the controller.
+
+ * 1.3.9 (May 22nd, 2003)
+        - Fix compiler errors.
+        - Remove S/G splitting for segments that cross a 4GB boundary.
+          This is guaranteed not to happen in Linux.
+        - Add support for scsi_report_device_reset() found in
+          2.5.X kernels.
+        - Add 7901B support.
+        - Simplify handling of the packetized lun Rev A workaround.
+        - Correct and simplify handling of the ignore wide residue
+          message.  The previous code would fail to report a residual
+          if the transaction data length was even and we received
+          an IWR message.
+
+ * 1.3.8 (April 29th, 2003)
+        - Fix types accessed via the command line interface code.
+        - Perform a few firmware optimizations.
+        - Fix "Unexpected PKT busfree" errors.
+        - Use a sequencer interrupt to notify the host of
+          commands with bad status.  We defer the notification
+          until there are no outstanding selections to ensure
+          that the host is interrupted for as short a time as
+          possible.
+        - Remove pre-2.2.X support.
+        - Add support for new 2.5.X interrupt API.
+        - Correct big-endian architecture support.
+
+ * 1.3.7 (April 16th, 2003)
+        - Use del_timer_sync() to ensure that no timeouts
+          are pending during controller shutdown.
+        - For pre-2.5.X kernels, carefully adjust our segment
+          list size to avoid SCSI malloc pool fragmentation.
+        - Cleanup channel display in our /proc output.
+        - Workaround duplicate device entries in the mid-layer
+          device list during add-single-device.
+
+ * 1.3.6 (March 28th, 2003)
+        - Correct a double free in the Domain Validation code.
+        - Correct a reference to free'ed memory during controller
+          shutdown.
+        - Reset the bus on an SE->LVD change.  This is required
+          to reset our transceivers.
+
+ * 1.3.5 (March 24th, 2003)
+        - Fix a few register window mode bugs.
+        - Include read streaming in the PPR flags we display in
+          diagnostics as well as /proc.
+        - Add PCI hot plug support for 2.5.X kernels.
+        - Correct default precompensation value for RevA hardware.
+        - Fix Domain Validation thread shutdown.
+        - Add a firmware workaround to make the LED blink
+          brighter during packetized operations on the H2A4.
+        - Correct /proc display of user read streaming settings.
+        - Simplify driver locking by releasing the io_request_lock
+          upon driver entry from the mid-layer.
+        - Cleanup command line parsing and move much of this code
+          to aiclib.
+
+ * 1.3.4 (February 28th, 2003)
+        - Correct a race condition in our error recovery handler.
+        - Allow Test Unit Ready commands to take a full 5 seconds
+          during Domain Validation.
+
+ * 1.3.2 (February 19th, 2003)
+        - Correct a Rev B. regression due to the GEM318
+          compatibility fix included in 1.3.1.
+
+ * 1.3.1 (February 11th, 2003)
+        - Add support for the 39320A.
+        - Improve recovery for certain PCI-X errors.
+        - Fix handling of LQ/DATA/LQ/DATA for the
+          same write transaction that can occur without
+          interveining training.
+        - Correct compatibility issues with the GEM318
+          enclosure services device.
+        - Correct data corruption issue that occurred under
+          high tag depth write loads.
+        - Adapt to a change in the 2.5.X daemonize() API.
+        - Correct a "Missing case in ahd_handle_scsiint" panic.
+
+ * 1.3.0 (January 21st, 2003)
+        - Full regression testing for all U320 products completed.
+        - Added abort and target/lun reset error recovery handler and
+          interrupt coalescing.
+
+ * 1.2.0 (November 14th, 2002)
+        - Added support for Domain Validation
+        - Add support for the Hewlett-Packard version of the 39320D
+          and AIC-7902 adapters.
+
+        Support for previous adapters has not been fully tested and should
+        only be used at the customer's own risk.
+
+ * 1.1.1 (September 24th, 2002)
+        - Added support for the Linux 2.5.X kernel series
+
+ * 1.1.0 (September 17th, 2002)
+        - Added support for four additional SCSI products:
+          ASC-39320, ASC-29320, ASC-29320LP, AIC-7901.

+
+4. Additional Notes
+===================
+
+4.1. Known/Unresolved or FYI Issues
+-----------------------------------
+
+        * Under SuSE Linux Enterprise 7, the driver may fail to operate
+          correctly due to a problem with PCI interrupt routing in the
+          Linux kernel.  Please contact SuSE for an updated Linux
+          kernel.
+
+4.2. Third-Party Compatibility Issues
+-------------------------------------
+
+        * Adaptec only supports Ultra320 hard drives running
+          the latest firmware available. Please check with
+          your hard drive manufacturer to ensure you have the
+          latest version.
+
+4.3. Operating System or Technology Limitations
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+        * PCI Hot Plug is untested and may cause the operating system
+          to stop responding.
+        * Luns that are not numbered contiguously starting with 0 might not
+          be automatically probed during system startup.  This is a limitation
+          of the OS.  Please contact your Linux vendor for instructions on
+          manually probing non-contiguous luns.
+        * Using the Driver Update Disk version of this package during OS
+          installation under RedHat might result in two versions of this
+          driver being installed into the system module directory.  This
+          might cause problems with the /sbin/mkinitrd program and/or
+          other RPM packages that try to install system modules.  The best
+          way to correct this once the system is running is to install
+          the latest RPM package version of this driver, available from
+          http://www.adaptec.com.

+
+   1. No BIOS support
+   2. DEC21050 PCI-PCI bridge with multiple controller chips on secondary bus
+   3. DEC2115X PCI-PCI bridge with multiple controller chips on secondary bus
+   4. All three SCSI connectors may be used simultaneously without
+      SCSI "stub" effects.
+
+2. Version History
+==================
+
+   * 7.0	  (4th August, 2005)
+	- Updated driver to use SCSI transport class infrastructure
+	- Upported sequencer and core fixes from last adaptec released
+	  version of the driver.
+
+   * 6.2.36 (June 3rd, 2003)
+        - Correct code that disables PCI parity error checking.
+        - Correct and simplify handling of the ignore wide residue
+          message.  The previous code would fail to report a residual
+          if the transaction data length was even and we received
+          an IWR message.
+        - Add support for the 2.5.X EISA framework.
+        - Update for change in 2.5.X SCSI proc FS interface.
+        - Correct Domain Validation command-line option parsing.
+        - When negotiation async via an 8bit WDTR message, send
+          an SDTR with an offset of 0 to be sure the target
+          knows we are async.  This works around a firmware defect
+          in the Quantum Atlas 10K.
+        - Clear PCI error state during driver attach so that we
+          don't disable memory mapped I/O due to a stray write
+          by some other driver probe that occurred before we
+          claimed the controller.
+
+   * 6.2.35 (May 14th, 2003)
+        - Fix a few GCC 3.3 compiler warnings.
+        - Correct operation on EISA Twin Channel controller.
+        - Add support for 2.5.X's scsi_report_device_reset().
+
+   * 6.2.34 (May 5th, 2003)
+        - Fix locking regression introduced in 6.2.29 that
+          could cause a lock order reversal between the io_request_lock
+          and our per-softc lock.  This was only possible on RH9,
+          SuSE, and kernel.org 2.4.X kernels.
+
+   * 6.2.33 (April 30th, 2003)
+        - Dynamically disable PCI parity error reporting after
+          10 errors are reported to the user.  These errors are
+          the result of some other device issuing PCI transactions
+          with bad parity.  Once the user has been informed of the
+          problem, continuing to report the errors just degrades
+          our performance.
+
+   * 6.2.32 (March 28th, 2003)
+        - Dynamically sized S/G lists to avoid SCSI malloc
+          pool fragmentation and SCSI mid-layer deadlock.
+
+   * 6.2.28 (January 20th, 2003)
+        - Domain Validation Fixes
+        - Add ability to disable PCI parity error checking.
+        - Enhanced Memory Mapped I/O probe
+
+   * 6.2.20 (November 7th, 2002)
+        - Added Domain Validation.
+
+3. Command Line Options
+=======================
+
+
+    .. Warning::
+
+                 ALTERING OR ADDING THESE DRIVER PARAMETERS
+                 INCORRECTLY CAN RENDER YOUR SYSTEM INOPERABLE.
+                 USE THEM WITH CAUTION.
+
+   Put a .conf file in the /etc/modprobe.d directory and add/edit a
+   line containing ``options aic7xxx aic7xxx=[command[,command...]]`` where
+   ``command`` is one or more of the following:
+
+verbose
+
+    :Definition: enable additional informative messages during driver operation.
+    :Possible Values: This option is a flag
+    :Default Value: disabled
+
+
+debug:[value]

+    :Definition: Enables various levels of debugging information
+    :Possible Values: 0x0000 = no debugging, 0xffff = full debugging
+    :Default Value: 0x0000
+
+no_probe
+
+probe_eisa_vl
+
+    :Definition: Do not probe for EISA/VLB controllers.
+		 This is a toggle.  If the driver is compiled
+		 to not probe EISA/VLB controllers by default,
+		 specifying "no_probe" will enable this probing.
+		 If the driver is compiled to probe EISA/VLB
+		 controllers by default, specifying "no_probe"
+		 will disable this probing.
+
+    :Possible Values: This option is a toggle
+    :Default Value: EISA/VLB probing is disabled by default.
+
+pci_parity
+
+    :Definition: Toggles the detection of PCI parity errors.
+		 On many motherboards with VIA chipsets,
+		 PCI parity is not generated correctly on the
+		 PCI bus.  It is impossible for the hardware to
+		 differentiate between these "spurious" parity
+		 errors and real parity errors.  The symptom of
+		 this problem is a stream of the message::
+
+		    "scsi0:	Data Parity Error Detected during address or write data phase"
+
+		 output by the driver.
+
+    :Possible Values: This option is a toggle
+    :Default Value: PCI Parity Error reporting is disabled
+
+no_reset
+
+    :Definition: Do not reset the bus during the initial probe
+		 phase
+
+    :Possible Values: This option is a flag
+    :Default Value: disabled
+
+extended
+
+    :Definition: Force extended translation on the controller
+    :Possible Values: This option is a flag
+    :Default Value: disabled
+
+periodic_otag
+
+    :Definition: Send an ordered tag periodically to prevent
+		 tag starvation.  Needed for some older devices
+
+    :Possible Values: This option is a flag
+    :Default Value: disabled
+
+reverse_scan
+
+    :Definition: Probe the scsi bus in reverse order, starting
+		with target 15
+
+    :Possible Values: This option is a flag
+    :Default Value: disabled
+
+global_tag_depth:[value]
+
+    :Definition: Global tag depth for all targets on all busses.
+		 This option sets the default tag depth which
+		 may be selectively overridden vi the tag_info
+		 option.
+
+    :Possible Values: 1 - 253
+    :Default Value: 32
+
+tag_info:{{value[,value...]}[,{value[,value...]}...]}
+
+    :Definition: Set the per-target tagged queue depth on a
+		 per controller basis.  Both controllers and targets
+		 may be omitted indicating that they should retain
+		 the default tag depth.
+
+    :Possible Values: 1 - 253
+    :Default Value: 32
+
+    Examples:
+
+	    ::
+
+	        tag_info:{{16,32,32,64,8,8,,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32}
+
+	    On Controller 0:
+
+		- specifies a tag depth of 16 for target 0
+		- specifies a tag depth of 64 for target 3
+		- specifies a tag depth of 8 for targets 4 and 5
+		- leaves target 6 at the default
+		- specifies a tag depth of 32 for targets 1,2,7-15
+		- All other targets retain the default depth.
+
+	    ::
+
+                tag_info:{{},{32,,32}}
+
+	    On Controller 1:
+
+		- specifies a tag depth of 32 for targets 0 and 2
+		- All other targets retain the default depth.
+
+seltime:[value]
+
+    :Definition: Specifies the selection timeout value
+    :Possible Values: 0 = 256ms, 1 = 128ms, 2 = 64ms, 3 = 32ms
+    :Default Value: 0
+
+dv: {value[,value...]}
+
+    :Definition: Set Domain Validation Policy on a per-controller basis.
+		 Controllers may be omitted indicating that
+		 they should retain the default read streaming setting.
+
+    :Possible Values:
+
+		      ==== ===============================
+		       < 0 Use setting from serial EEPROM.
+                         0 Disable DV
+		       > 0 Enable DV
+		      ==== ===============================
+
+
+    :Default Value: SCSI-Select setting on controllers with a SCSI Select
+		    option for DV.  Otherwise, on for controllers supporting
+		    U160 speeds and off for all other controller types.
+
+    Example:
+
+	    ::
+
+		dv:{-1,0,,1,1,0}
+
+	   - On Controller 0 leave DV at its default setting.
+	   - On Controller 1 disable DV.
+	   - Skip configuration on Controller 2.
+	   - On Controllers 3 and 4 enable DV.
+	   - On Controller 5 disable DV.
+
+Example::
+
+    options aic7xxx aic7xxx=verbose,no_probe,tag_info:{{},{,,10}},seltime:1
+
+enables verbose logging, Disable EISA/VLB probing,
+and set tag depth on Controller 1/Target 2 to 10 tags.

+===========================
+Operating FCoE using bnx2fc
+===========================
+Broadcom FCoE offload through bnx2fc is full stateful hardware offload that
+cooperates with all interfaces provided by the Linux ecosystem for FC/FCoE and
+SCSI controllers.  As such, FCoE functionality, once enabled is largely
+transparent. Devices discovered on the SAN will be registered and unregistered
+automatically with the upper storage layers.
+
+Despite the fact that the Broadcom's FCoE offload is fully offloaded, it does
+depend on the state of the network interfaces to operate. As such, the network
+interface (e.g. eth0) associated with the FCoE offload initiator must be 'up'.
+It is recommended that the network interfaces be configured to be brought up
+automatically at boot time.
+
+Furthermore, the Broadcom FCoE offload solution creates VLAN interfaces to
+support the VLANs that have been discovered for FCoE operation (e.g.
+eth0.1001-fcoe).  Do not delete or disable these interfaces or FCoE operation
+will be disrupted.
+
+Driver Usage Model:
+===================
+
+1. Ensure that fcoe-utils package is installed.
+
+2. Configure the interfaces on which bnx2fc driver has to operate on.
+Here are the steps to configure:
+
+	a. cd /etc/fcoe
+	b. copy cfg-ethx to cfg-eth5 if FCoE has to be enabled on eth5.
+	c. Repeat this for all the interfaces where FCoE has to be enabled.
+	d. Edit all the cfg-eth files to set "no" for DCB_REQUIRED** field, and
+	   "yes" for AUTO_VLAN.
+	e. Other configuration parameters should be left as default
+
+3. Ensure that "bnx2fc" is in SUPPORTED_DRIVERS list in /etc/fcoe/config.
+
+4. Start fcoe service. (service fcoe start). If Broadcom devices are present in
+the system, bnx2fc driver would automatically claim the interfaces, starts vlan
+discovery and log into the targets.
+
+5. "Symbolic Name" in 'fcoeadm -i' output would display if bnx2fc has claimed
+the interface.
+
+Eg::
+
+ [root@bh2 ~]# fcoeadm -i
+    Description:      NetXtreme II BCM57712 10 Gigabit Ethernet
+    Revision:         01
+    Manufacturer:     Broadcom Corporation
+    Serial Number:    0010186FD558
+    Driver:           bnx2x 1.70.00-0
+    Number of Ports:  2
+
+        Symbolic Name:     bnx2fc v1.0.5 over eth5.4
+        OS Device Name:    host11
+        Node Name:         0x10000010186FD559
+        Port Name:         0x20000010186FD559
+        FabricName:        0x2001000DECB3B681
+        Speed:             10 Gbit
+        Supported Speed:   10 Gbit
+        MaxFrameSize:      2048
+        FC-ID (Port ID):   0x0F0377
+        State:             Online
+
+6. Verify the vlan discovery is performed by running ifconfig and notice
+   <INTERFACE>.<VLAN>-fcoe interfaces are automatically created.
+
+Refer to fcoeadm manpage for more information on fcoeadm operations to
+create/destroy interfaces or to display lun/target information.
+
+NOTE
+====
+** Broadcom FCoE capable devices implement a DCBX/LLDP client on-chip. Only one
+LLDP client is allowed per interface. For proper operation all host software
+based DCBX/LLDP clients (e.g. lldpad) must be disabled. To disable lldpad on a
+given interface, run the following command::
+
+	lldptool set-lldp -i <interface_name> adminStatus=disabled

+Chelsio S3 iSCSI Driver for Linux
+=================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+The Chelsio T3 ASIC based Adapters (S310, S320, S302, S304, Mezz cards, etc.
+series of products) support iSCSI acceleration and iSCSI Direct Data Placement
+(DDP) where the hardware handles the expensive byte touching operations, such
+as CRC computation and verification, and direct DMA to the final host memory
+destination:
+
+	- iSCSI PDU digest generation and verification
+
+	  On transmitting, Chelsio S3 h/w computes and inserts the Header and
+	  Data digest into the PDUs.
+	  On receiving, Chelsio S3 h/w computes and verifies the Header and
+	  Data digest of the PDUs.
+
+	- Direct Data Placement (DDP)
+
+	  S3 h/w can directly place the iSCSI Data-In or Data-Out PDU's
+	  payload into pre-posted final destination host-memory buffers based
+	  on the Initiator Task Tag (ITT) in Data-In or Target Task Tag (TTT)
+	  in Data-Out PDUs.
+
+	- PDU Transmit and Recovery
+
+	  On transmitting, S3 h/w accepts the complete PDU (header + data)
+	  from the host driver, computes and inserts the digests, decomposes
+	  the PDU into multiple TCP segments if necessary, and transmit all
+	  the TCP segments onto the wire. It handles TCP retransmission if
+	  needed.
+
+	  On receiving, S3 h/w recovers the iSCSI PDU by reassembling TCP
+	  segments, separating the header and data, calculating and verifying
+	  the digests, then forwarding the header to the host. The payload data,
+	  if possible, will be directly placed into the pre-posted host DDP
+	  buffer. Otherwise, the payload data will be sent to the host too.
+
+The cxgb3i driver interfaces with open-iscsi initiator and provides the iSCSI
+acceleration through Chelsio hardware wherever applicable.
+
+Using the cxgb3i Driver
+=======================
+
+The following steps need to be taken to accelerates the open-iscsi initiator:
+
+1. Load the cxgb3i driver: "modprobe cxgb3i"
+
+   The cxgb3i module registers a new transport class "cxgb3i" with open-iscsi.
+
+   * in the case of recompiling the kernel, the cxgb3i selection is located at::
+
+	Device Drivers
+		SCSI device support --->
+			[*] SCSI low-level drivers  --->
+				<M>   Chelsio S3xx iSCSI support
+
+2. Create an interface file located under /etc/iscsi/ifaces/ for the new
+   transport class "cxgb3i".
+
+   The content of the file should be in the following format::
+
+	iface.transport_name = cxgb3i
+	iface.net_ifacename = <ethX>
+	iface.ipaddress = <iscsi ip address>
+
+   * if iface.ipaddress is specified, <iscsi ip address> needs to be either the
+     same as the ethX's ip address or an address on the same subnet. Make
+     sure the ip address is unique in the network.
+
+3. edit /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
+   The default setting for MaxRecvDataSegmentLength (131072) is too big;
+   replace with a value no bigger than 15360 (for example 8192)::
+
+	node.conn[0].iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLength = 8192
+
+   * The login would fail for a normal session if MaxRecvDataSegmentLength is
+     too big.  A error message in the format of
+     "cxgb3i: ERR! MaxRecvSegmentLength <X> too big. Need to be <= <Y>."
+     would be logged to dmesg.
+
+4. To direct open-iscsi traffic to go through cxgb3i's accelerated path,
+   "-I <iface file name>" option needs to be specified with most of the
+   iscsiadm command. <iface file name> is the transport interface file created
+   in step 2.

+README file for the dc395x SCSI driver
+======================================
+
+Status
+------
+The driver has been tested with CD-R and CD-R/W drives. These should
+be safe to use. Testing with hard disks has not been done to any
+great degree and caution should be exercised if you want to attempt
+to use this driver with hard disks.
+
+This is a 2.5 only driver. For a 2.4 driver please see the original
+driver (which this driver started from) at
+http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/dc395/
+
+Problems, questions and patches should be submitted to the mailing
+list. Details on the list, including archives, are available at
+http://lists.twibble.org/mailman/listinfo/dc395x/
+
+Parameters
+----------
+The driver uses the settings from the EEPROM set in the SCSI BIOS
+setup. If there is no EEPROM, the driver uses default values.
+Both can be overridden by command line parameters (module or kernel
+parameters).
+
+The following parameters are available:
+
+safe
+   Default: 0, Acceptable values: 0 or 1
+
+   If safe is set to 1 then the adapter will use conservative
+   ("safe") default settings. This sets:
+
+		shortcut for dc395x=7,4,9,15,2,10
+
+adapter_id

+=======
+
+The original linux driver was ported to Linux by Karen White while at

+
+2.0 version of the driver by Deanna Bonds and Mark Salyzyn.
+
+History
+=======
+
+The driver was originally ported to linux version 2.0.34
+
+==== ==========================================================================
+V2.0 Rewrite of driver.  Re-architectured based on i2o subsystem.
+     This was the first full GPL version since the last version used
+     i2osig headers which were not GPL.  Developer Testing version.
+V2.1 Internal testing
+V2.2 First released version
+
+V2.3 Changes:
+
+     - Added Raptor Support
+     - Fixed bug causing system to hang under extreme load with
+     - management utilities running (removed GFP_DMA from kmalloc flags)
+
+V2.4 First version ready to be submitted to be embedded in the kernel
+
+     Changes:
+
+     - Implemented suggestions from Alan Cox
+     - Added calculation of resid for sg layer
+     - Better error handling
+     - Added checking underflow conditions
+     - Added DATAPROTECT checking
+     - Changed error return codes
+     - Fixed pointer bug in bus reset routine
+     - Enabled hba reset from ioctls (allows a FW flash to reboot and use
+       the new FW without having to reboot)
+     - Changed proc output
+==== ==========================================================================
+
+TODO
+====
+- Add 64 bit Scatter Gather when compiled on 64 bit architectures
+- Add sparse lun scanning
+- Add code that checks if a device that had been taken offline is
+  now online (at the FW level) when test unit ready or inquiry
+  command from scsi-core
+- Add proc read interface
+- busrescan command
+- rescan command
+- Add code to rescan routine that notifies scsi-core about new devices
+- Add support for C-PCI (hotplug stuff)
+- Add ioctl passthru error recovery
+
+Notes
+=====
+The DPT card optimizes the order of processing commands.  Consequently,
+a command may take up to 6 minutes to complete after it has been sent
+to the board.
+
+The files dpti_ioctl.h dptsig.h osd_defs.h osd_util.h sys_info.h are part of the
+interface files for Adaptec's management routines.  These define the structures used
+in the ioctls.  They are written to be portable.  They are hard to read, but I need
+to use them 'as is' or I can miss changes in the interface.

+
+This file documents the NCR53c400 extensions by Kevin Lentin and some
+enhancements to the NCR5380 core.
+
+This driver supports NCR5380 and NCR53c400 and compatible cards in port or
+memory mapped modes.
+
+Use of an interrupt is recommended, if supported by the board, as this will
+allow targets to disconnect and thereby improve SCSI bus utilization.
+
+If the irq parameter is 254 or is omitted entirely, the driver will probe
+for the correct IRQ line automatically. If the irq parameter is 0 or 255
+then no IRQ will be used.
+
+The NCR53c400 does not support DMA but it does have Pseudo-DMA which is
+supported by the driver.
+
+This driver provides some information on what it has detected in
+/proc/scsi/g_NCR5380/x where x is the scsi card number as detected at boot
+time. More info to come in the future.
+
+This driver works as a module.
+When included as a module, parameters can be passed on the insmod/modprobe
+command line:
+
+  ============= ===============================================================
+  irq=xx[,...]	the interrupt(s)
+  base=xx[,...]	the port or base address(es) (for port or memory mapped, resp.)
+  card=xx[,...]	card type(s):
+
+		==  ======================================
+		0   NCR5380,
+		1   NCR53C400,
+		2   NCR53C400A,
+		3   Domex Technology Corp 3181E (DTC3181E)
+		4   Hewlett Packard C2502
+		==  ======================================
+  ============= ===============================================================
+
+These old-style parameters can support only one card:
+
+  ============= =================================================
+  ncr_irq=xx    the interrupt
+  ncr_addr=xx   the port or base address (for port or memory
+                mapped, resp.)
+  ncr_5380=1    to set up for a NCR5380 board
+  ncr_53c400=1  to set up for a NCR53C400 board
+  ncr_53c400a=1 to set up for a NCR53C400A board
+  dtc_3181e=1   to set up for a Domex Technology Corp 3181E board
+  hp_c2502=1    to set up for a Hewlett Packard C2502 board
+  ============= =================================================
+
+E.g. Trantor T130B in its default configuration::
+
+	modprobe g_NCR5380 irq=5 base=0x350 card=1
+
+or alternatively, using the old syntax::
+
+	modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=5 ncr_addr=0x350 ncr_53c400=1
+
+E.g. a port mapped NCR5380 board, driver to probe for IRQ::
+
+	modprobe g_NCR5380 base=0x350 card=0
+
+or alternatively::
+
+	modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_addr=0x350 ncr_5380=1
+
+E.g. a memory mapped NCR53C400 board with no IRQ::
+
+	modprobe g_NCR5380 irq=255 base=0xc8000 card=1
+
+or alternatively::
+
+	modprobe g_NCR5380 ncr_irq=255 ncr_addr=0xc8000 ncr_53c400=1
+
+E.g. two cards, DTC3181 (in non-PnP mode) at 0x240 with no IRQ
+and HP C2502 at 0x300 with IRQ 7::
+
+	modprobe g_NCR5380 irq=0,7 base=0x240,0x300 card=3,4

+=========================================
+HPSA - Hewlett Packard Smart Array driver
+=========================================
+
+This file describes the hpsa SCSI driver for HP Smart Array controllers.
+The hpsa driver is intended to supplant the cciss driver for newer
+Smart Array controllers.  The hpsa driver is a SCSI driver, while the
+cciss driver is a "block" driver.  Actually cciss is both a block
+driver (for logical drives) AND a SCSI driver (for tape drives). This
+"split-brained" design of the cciss driver is a source of excess
+complexity and eliminating that complexity is one of the reasons
+for hpsa to exist.
+
+Supported devices
+=================
+
+- Smart Array P212
+- Smart Array P410
+- Smart Array P410i
+- Smart Array P411
+- Smart Array P812
+- Smart Array P712m
+- Smart Array P711m
+- StorageWorks P1210m
+
+Additionally, older Smart Arrays may work with the hpsa driver if the kernel
+boot parameter "hpsa_allow_any=1" is specified, however these are not tested
+nor supported by HP with this driver.  For older Smart Arrays, the cciss
+driver should still be used.
+
+The "hpsa_simple_mode=1" boot parameter may be used to prevent the driver from
+putting the controller into "performant" mode.  The difference is that with simple
+mode, each command completion requires an interrupt, while with "performant mode"
+(the default, and ordinarily better performing) it is possible to have multiple
+command completions indicated by a single interrupt.
+
+HPSA specific entries in /sys
+=============================
+
+  In addition to the generic SCSI attributes available in /sys, hpsa supports
+  the following attributes:
+
+HPSA specific host attributes
+=============================
+
+  ::
+
+    /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/rescan
+    /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/firmware_revision
+    /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/resettable
+    /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/transport_mode
+
+  the host "rescan" attribute is a write only attribute.  Writing to this
+  attribute will cause the driver to scan for new, changed, or removed devices
+  (e.g. hot-plugged tape drives, or newly configured or deleted logical drives,
+  etc.) and notify the SCSI midlayer of any changes detected.  Normally this is
+  triggered automatically by HP's Array Configuration Utility (either the GUI or
+  command line variety) so for logical drive changes, the user should not
+  normally have to use this.  It may be useful when hot plugging devices like
+  tape drives, or entire storage boxes containing pre-configured logical drives.
+
+  The "firmware_revision" attribute contains the firmware version of the Smart Array.
+  For example::
+
+	root@host:/sys/class/scsi_host/host4# cat firmware_revision
+	7.14
+
+  The transport_mode indicates whether the controller is in "performant"
+  or "simple" mode.  This is controlled by the "hpsa_simple_mode" module
+  parameter.
+
+  The "resettable" read-only attribute indicates whether a particular
+  controller is able to honor the "reset_devices" kernel parameter.  If the
+  device is resettable, this file will contain a "1", otherwise, a "0".  This
+  parameter is used by kdump, for example, to reset the controller at driver
+  load time to eliminate any outstanding commands on the controller and get the
+  controller into a known state so that the kdump initiated i/o will work right
+  and not be disrupted in any way by stale commands or other stale state
+  remaining on the controller from the previous kernel.  This attribute enables
+  kexec tools to warn the user if they attempt to designate a device which is
+  unable to honor the reset_devices kernel parameter as a dump device.
+
+HPSA specific disk attributes
+-----------------------------
+
+  ::
+
+    /sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/unique_id
+    /sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/raid_level
+    /sys/class/scsi_disk/c:b:t:l/device/lunid
+
+  (where c:b:t:l are the controller, bus, target and lun of the device)
+
+  For example::
+
+	root@host:/sys/class/scsi_disk/4:0:0:0/device# cat unique_id
+	600508B1001044395355323037570F77
+	root@host:/sys/class/scsi_disk/4:0:0:0/device# cat lunid
+	0x0000004000000000
+	root@host:/sys/class/scsi_disk/4:0:0:0/device# cat raid_level
+	RAID 0
+
+HPSA specific ioctls
+====================
+
+  For compatibility with applications written for the cciss driver, many, but
+  not all of the ioctls supported by the cciss driver are also supported by the
+  hpsa driver.  The data structures used by these are described in
+  include/linux/cciss_ioctl.h
+
+  CCISS_DEREGDISK, CCISS_REGNEWDISK, CCISS_REGNEWD
+	The above three ioctls all do exactly the same thing, which is to cause the driver
+	to rescan for new devices.  This does exactly the same thing as writing to the
+	hpsa specific host "rescan" attribute.
+
+  CCISS_GETPCIINFO
+	Returns PCI domain, bus, device and function and "board ID" (PCI subsystem ID).
+
+  CCISS_GETDRIVVER
+	Returns driver version in three bytes encoded as::
+
+		(major_version << 16) | (minor_version << 8) | (subminor_version)
+
+  CCISS_PASSTHRU, CCISS_BIG_PASSTHRU
+	Allows "BMIC" and "CISS" commands to be passed through to the Smart Array.
+	These are used extensively by the HP Array Configuration Utility, SNMP storage
+	agents, etc.  See cciss_vol_status at http://cciss.sf.net for some examples.

+
+I/O Request Workflow of Not Marvell Frey
+----------------------------------------
+
+All queued requests are handled via inbound/outbound queue port.
+A request packet can be allocated in either IOP or host memory.
+
+To send a request to the controller:
+
+    - Get a free request packet by reading the inbound queue port or
+      allocate a free request in host DMA coherent memory.
+
+      The value returned from the inbound queue port is an offset
+      relative to the IOP BAR0.
+
+      Requests allocated in host memory must be aligned on 32-bytes boundary.
+
+    - Fill the packet.
+
+    - Post the packet to IOP by writing it to inbound queue. For requests
+      allocated in IOP memory, write the offset to inbound queue port. For
+      requests allocated in host memory, write (0x80000000|(bus_addr>>5))
+      to the inbound queue port.
+
+    - The IOP process the request. When the request is completed, it
+      will be put into outbound queue. An outbound interrupt will be
+      generated.
+
+      For requests allocated in IOP memory, the request offset is posted to
+      outbound queue.
+
+      For requests allocated in host memory, (0x80000000|(bus_addr>>5))
+      is posted to the outbound queue. If IOP_REQUEST_FLAG_OUTPUT_CONTEXT
+      flag is set in the request, the low 32-bit context value will be
+      posted instead.
+
+    - The host read the outbound queue and complete the request.
+
+      For requests allocated in IOP memory, the host driver free the request
+      by writing it to the outbound queue.
+
+Non-queued requests (reset/flush etc) can be sent via inbound message
+register 0. An outbound message with the same value indicates the completion
+of an inbound message.
+
+
+I/O Request Workflow of Marvell Frey
+------------------------------------
+
+All queued requests are handled via inbound/outbound list.
+
+To send a request to the controller:
+
+    - Allocate a free request in host DMA coherent memory.
+
+      Requests allocated in host memory must be aligned on 32-bytes boundary.
+
+    - Fill the request with index of the request in the flag.
+
+      Fill a free inbound list unit with the physical address and the size of
+      the request.
+
+      Set up the inbound list write pointer with the index of previous unit,
+      round to 0 if the index reaches the supported count of requests.
+
+    - Post the inbound list writer pointer to IOP.
+
+    - The IOP process the request. When the request is completed, the flag of
+      the request with or-ed IOPMU_QUEUE_MASK_HOST_BITS will be put into a
+      free outbound list unit and the index of the outbound list unit will be
+      put into the copy pointer shadow register. An outbound interrupt will be
+      generated.
+
+    - The host read the outbound list copy pointer shadow register and compare
+      with previous saved read pointer N. If they are different, the host will
+      read the (N+1)th outbound list unit.
+
+      The host get the index of the request from the (N+1)th outbound list
+      unit and complete the request.
+
+Non-queued requests (reset communication/reset/flush etc) can be sent via PCIe
+Function 0 to CPU Message A register. The CPU to PCIe Function 0 Message register
+with the same value indicates the completion of message.
+

+=========
+SAS Layer
+=========
+
+The SAS Layer is a management infrastructure which manages
+SAS LLDDs.  It sits between SCSI Core and SAS LLDDs.  The
+layout is as follows: while SCSI Core is concerned with
+SAM/SPC issues, and a SAS LLDD+sequencer is concerned with
+phy/OOB/link management, the SAS layer is concerned with:
+
+      * SAS Phy/Port/HA event management (LLDD generates,
+        SAS Layer processes),
+      * SAS Port management (creation/destruction),
+      * SAS Domain discovery and revalidation,
+      * SAS Domain device management,
+      * SCSI Host registration/unregistration,
+      * Device registration with SCSI Core (SAS) or libata
+        (SATA), and
+      * Expander management and exporting expander control
+        to user space.
+
+A SAS LLDD is a PCI device driver.  It is concerned with
+phy/OOB management, and vendor specific tasks and generates
+events to the SAS layer.
+
+The SAS Layer does most SAS tasks as outlined in the SAS 1.1
+spec.
+
+The sas_ha_struct describes the SAS LLDD to the SAS layer.
+Most of it is used by the SAS Layer but a few fields need to
+be initialized by the LLDDs.
+
+After initializing your hardware, from the probe() function
+you call sas_register_ha(). It will register your LLDD with
+the SCSI subsystem, creating a SCSI host and it will
+register your SAS driver with the sysfs SAS tree it creates.
+It will then return.  Then you enable your phys to actually
+start OOB (at which point your driver will start calling the
+notify_* event callbacks).
+
+Structure descriptions
+======================
+
+``struct sas_phy``
+------------------
+
+Normally this is statically embedded to your driver's
+phy structure::
+
+    struct my_phy {
+	    blah;
+	    struct sas_phy sas_phy;
+	    bleh;
+    };
+
+And then all the phys are an array of my_phy in your HA
+struct (shown below).
+
+Then as you go along and initialize your phys you also
+initialize the sas_phy struct, along with your own
+phy structure.
+
+In general, the phys are managed by the LLDD and the ports
+are managed by the SAS layer.  So the phys are initialized
+and updated by the LLDD and the ports are initialized and
+updated by the SAS layer.
+
+There is a scheme where the LLDD can RW certain fields,
+and the SAS layer can only read such ones, and vice versa.
+The idea is to avoid unnecessary locking.
+
+enabled
+    - must be set (0/1)
+
+id
+    - must be set [0,MAX_PHYS)]
+
+class, proto, type, role, oob_mode, linkrate
+    - must be set
+
+oob_mode
+    - you set this when OOB has finished and then notify
+      the SAS Layer.
+
+sas_addr
+    - this normally points to an array holding the sas
+      address of the phy, possibly somewhere in your my_phy
+      struct.
+
+attached_sas_addr
+    - set this when you (LLDD) receive an
+      IDENTIFY frame or a FIS frame, _before_ notifying the SAS
+      layer.  The idea is that sometimes the LLDD may want to fake
+      or provide a different SAS address on that phy/port and this
+      allows it to do this.  At best you should copy the sas
+      address from the IDENTIFY frame or maybe generate a SAS
+      address for SATA directly attached devices.  The Discover
+      process may later change this.
+
+frame_rcvd
+    - this is where you copy the IDENTIFY/FIS frame
+      when you get it; you lock, copy, set frame_rcvd_size and
+      unlock the lock, and then call the event.  It is a pointer
+      since there's no way to know your hw frame size _exactly_,
+      so you define the actual array in your phy struct and let
+      this pointer point to it.  You copy the frame from your
+      DMAable memory to that area holding the lock.
+
+sas_prim
+    - this is where primitives go when they're
+      received.  See sas.h. Grab the lock, set the primitive,
+      release the lock, notify.
+
+port
+    - this points to the sas_port if the phy belongs
+      to a port -- the LLDD only reads this. It points to the
+      sas_port this phy is part of.  Set by the SAS Layer.
+
+ha
+    - may be set; the SAS layer sets it anyway.
+
+lldd_phy
+    - you should set this to point to your phy so you
+      can find your way around faster when the SAS layer calls one
+      of your callbacks and passes you a phy.  If the sas_phy is
+      embedded you can also use container_of -- whatever you
+      prefer.
+
+
+``struct sas_port``
+-------------------
+
+The LLDD doesn't set any fields of this struct -- it only
+reads them.  They should be self explanatory.
+
+phy_mask is 32 bit, this should be enough for now, as I
+haven't heard of a HA having more than 8 phys.
+
+lldd_port
+    - I haven't found use for that -- maybe other
+      LLDD who wish to have internal port representation can make
+      use of this.
+
+``struct sas_ha_struct``
+------------------------
+
+It normally is statically declared in your own LLDD
+structure describing your adapter::
+
+    struct my_sas_ha {
+	blah;
+	struct sas_ha_struct sas_ha;
+	struct my_phy phys[MAX_PHYS];
+	struct sas_port sas_ports[MAX_PHYS]; /* (1) */
+	bleh;
+    };
+
+    (1) If your LLDD doesn't have its own port representation.
+
+What needs to be initialized (sample function given below).
+
+pcidev
+^^^^^^
+
+sas_addr
+       - since the SAS layer doesn't want to mess with
+	 memory allocation, etc, this points to statically
+	 allocated array somewhere (say in your host adapter
+	 structure) and holds the SAS address of the host
+	 adapter as given by you or the manufacturer, etc.
+
+sas_port
+^^^^^^^^
+
+sas_phy
+      - an array of pointers to structures. (see
+	note above on sas_addr).
+	These must be set.  See more notes below.
+
+num_phys
+       - the number of phys present in the sas_phy array,
+	 and the number of ports present in the sas_port
+	 array.  There can be a maximum num_phys ports (one per
+	 port) so we drop the num_ports, and only use
+	 num_phys.
+
+The event interface::
+
+	/* LLDD calls these to notify the class of an event. */
+	void sas_notify_port_event(struct sas_phy *, enum port_event);
+	void sas_notify_phy_event(struct sas_phy *, enum phy_event);
+	void sas_notify_port_event_gfp(struct sas_phy *, enum port_event, gfp_t);
+	void sas_notify_phy_event_gfp(struct sas_phy *, enum phy_event, gfp_t);
+
+The port notification::
+
+	/* The class calls these to notify the LLDD of an event. */
+	void (*lldd_port_formed)(struct sas_phy *);
+	void (*lldd_port_deformed)(struct sas_phy *);
+
+If the LLDD wants notification when a port has been formed
+or deformed it sets those to a function satisfying the type.
+
+A SAS LLDD should also implement at least one of the Task
+Management Functions (TMFs) described in SAM::
+
+	/* Task Management Functions. Must be called from process context. */
+	int (*lldd_abort_task)(struct sas_task *);
+	int (*lldd_abort_task_set)(struct domain_device *, u8 *lun);
+	int (*lldd_clear_aca)(struct domain_device *, u8 *lun);
+	int (*lldd_clear_task_set)(struct domain_device *, u8 *lun);
+	int (*lldd_I_T_nexus_reset)(struct domain_device *);
+	int (*lldd_lu_reset)(struct domain_device *, u8 *lun);
+	int (*lldd_query_task)(struct sas_task *);
+
+For more information please read SAM from T10.org.
+
+Port and Adapter management::
+
+	/* Port and Adapter management */
+	int (*lldd_clear_nexus_port)(struct sas_port *);
+	int (*lldd_clear_nexus_ha)(struct sas_ha_struct *);
+
+A SAS LLDD should implement at least one of those.
+
+Phy management::
+
+	/* Phy management */
+	int (*lldd_control_phy)(struct sas_phy *, enum phy_func);
+
+lldd_ha
+    - set this to point to your HA struct. You can also
+      use container_of if you embedded it as shown above.
+
+A sample initialization and registration function
+can look like this (called last thing from probe())
+*but* before you enable the phys to do OOB::
+
+    static int register_sas_ha(struct my_sas_ha *my_ha)
+    {
+	    int i;
+	    static struct sas_phy   *sas_phys[MAX_PHYS];
+	    static struct sas_port  *sas_ports[MAX_PHYS];
+
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.sas_addr = &my_ha->sas_addr[0];
+
+	    for (i = 0; i < MAX_PHYS; i++) {
+		    sas_phys[i] = &my_ha->phys[i].sas_phy;
+		    sas_ports[i] = &my_ha->sas_ports[i];
+	    }
+
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.sas_phy  = sas_phys;
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.sas_port = sas_ports;
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.num_phys = MAX_PHYS;
+
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_port_formed = my_port_formed;
+
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_dev_found = my_dev_found;
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_dev_gone = my_dev_gone;
+
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_execute_task = my_execute_task;
+
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_abort_task     = my_abort_task;
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_abort_task_set = my_abort_task_set;
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_clear_aca      = my_clear_aca;
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_clear_task_set = my_clear_task_set;
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_I_T_nexus_reset= NULL; (2)
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_lu_reset       = my_lu_reset;
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_query_task     = my_query_task;
+
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_clear_nexus_port = my_clear_nexus_port;
+	    my_ha->sas_ha.lldd_clear_nexus_ha = my_clear_nexus_ha;

+
+	    return sas_register_ha(&my_ha->sas_ha);
+    }

+
+Events
+======
+
+Events are **the only way** a SAS LLDD notifies the SAS layer
+of anything.  There is no other method or way a LLDD to tell
+the SAS layer of anything happening internally or in the SAS
+domain.
+
+Phy events::
+
+	PHYE_LOSS_OF_SIGNAL, (C)
+	PHYE_OOB_DONE,
+	PHYE_OOB_ERROR,      (C)
+	PHYE_SPINUP_HOLD.
+
+Port events, passed on a _phy_::
+
+	PORTE_BYTES_DMAED,      (M)
+	PORTE_BROADCAST_RCVD,   (E)
+	PORTE_LINK_RESET_ERR,   (C)
+	PORTE_TIMER_EVENT,      (C)
+	PORTE_HARD_RESET.
+
+Host Adapter event:
+	HAE_RESET
+
+A SAS LLDD should be able to generate
+
+	- at least one event from group C (choice),
+	- events marked M (mandatory) are mandatory (only one),
+	- events marked E (expander) if it wants the SAS layer
+	  to handle domain revalidation (only one such).
+	- Unmarked events are optional.
+
+Meaning:
+
+HAE_RESET
+    - when your HA got internal error and was reset.
+
+PORTE_BYTES_DMAED
+    - on receiving an IDENTIFY/FIS frame
+
+PORTE_BROADCAST_RCVD
+    - on receiving a primitive
+
+PORTE_LINK_RESET_ERR
+    - timer expired, loss of signal, loss of DWS, etc. [1]_
+
+PORTE_TIMER_EVENT
+    - DWS reset timeout timer expired [1]_
+
+PORTE_HARD_RESET
+    - Hard Reset primitive received.
+
+PHYE_LOSS_OF_SIGNAL
+    - the device is gone [1]_
+
+PHYE_OOB_DONE
+    - OOB went fine and oob_mode is valid
+
+PHYE_OOB_ERROR
+    - Error while doing OOB, the device probably
+      got disconnected. [1]_
+
+PHYE_SPINUP_HOLD
+    - SATA is present, COMWAKE not sent.
+
+.. [1] should set/clear the appropriate fields in the phy,
+       or alternatively call the inlined sas_phy_disconnected()
+       which is just a helper, from their tasklet.
+
+The Execute Command SCSI RPC::
+
+	int (*lldd_execute_task)(struct sas_task *, gfp_t gfp_flags);
+
+Used to queue a task to the SAS LLDD.  @task is the task to be executed.
+@gfp_mask is the gfp_mask defining the context of the caller.
+
+This function should implement the Execute Command SCSI RPC,
+
+That is, when lldd_execute_task() is called, the command
+go out on the transport *immediately*.  There is *no*
+queuing of any sort and at any level in a SAS LLDD.
+
+Returns:
+
+   * -SAS_QUEUE_FULL, -ENOMEM, nothing was queued;
+   * 0, the task(s) were queued.
+
+::
+
+    struct sas_task {
+	    dev -- the device this task is destined to
+	    task_proto -- _one_ of enum sas_proto
+	    scatter -- pointer to scatter gather list array
+	    num_scatter -- number of elements in scatter
+	    total_xfer_len -- total number of bytes expected to be transferred
+	    data_dir -- PCI_DMA_...
+	    task_done -- callback when the task has finished execution
+    };
+
+Discovery
+=========
+
+The sysfs tree has the following purposes:
+
+    a) It shows you the physical layout of the SAS domain at
+       the current time, i.e. how the domain looks in the
+       physical world right now.
+    b) Shows some device parameters _at_discovery_time_.
+
+This is a link to the tree(1) program, very useful in
+viewing the SAS domain:
+ftp://mama.indstate.edu/linux/tree/
+
+I expect user space applications to actually create a
+graphical interface of this.
+
+That is, the sysfs domain tree doesn't show or keep state if
+you e.g., change the meaning of the READY LED MEANING
+setting, but it does show you the current connection status
+of the domain device.
+
+Keeping internal device state changes is responsibility of
+upper layers (Command set drivers) and user space.
+
+When a device or devices are unplugged from the domain, this
+is reflected in the sysfs tree immediately, and the device(s)
+removed from the system.
+
+The structure domain_device describes any device in the SAS
+domain.  It is completely managed by the SAS layer.  A task
+points to a domain device, this is how the SAS LLDD knows
+where to send the task(s) to.  A SAS LLDD only reads the
+contents of the domain_device structure, but it never creates
+or destroys one.
+
+Expander management from User Space
+===================================
+
+In each expander directory in sysfs, there is a file called
+"smp_portal".  It is a binary sysfs attribute file, which
+implements an SMP portal (Note: this is *NOT* an SMP port),
+to which user space applications can send SMP requests and
+receive SMP responses.
+
+Functionality is deceptively simple:
+
+1. Build the SMP frame you want to send. The format and layout
+   is described in the SAS spec.  Leave the CRC field equal 0.
+
+open(2)
+
+2. Open the expander's SMP portal sysfs file in RW mode.
+
+write(2)
+
+3. Write the frame you built in 1.
+
+read(2)
+
+4. Read the amount of data you expect to receive for the frame you built.
+   If you receive different amount of data you expected to receive,
+   then there was some kind of error.
+
+close(2)
+
+All this process is shown in detail in the function do_smp_func()
+and its callers, in the file "expander_conf.c".
+
+The kernel functionality is implemented in the file
+"sas_expander.c".
+
+The program "expander_conf.c" implements this. It takes one
+argument, the sysfs file name of the SMP portal to the
+expander, and gives expander information, including routing
+tables.
+
+The SMP portal gives you complete control of the expander,
+so please be careful.

+LPFC Driver Release Notes
+=========================
+
+
+.. important::
+
+  Starting in the 8.0.17 release, the driver began to be targeted strictly
+  toward the upstream kernel. As such, we removed #ifdefs for older kernels
+  (pre 2.6.10). The 8.0.16 release should be used if the driver is to be
+  run on one of the older kernels.
+
+  The proposed modifications to the transport layer for FC remote ports
+  and extended attribute support is now part of the upstream kernel
+  as of 2.6.12. We no longer need to provide patches for this support,
+  nor a *full* version which has old an new kernel support.
+  
+  The driver now requires a 2.6.12 (if pre-release, 2.6.12-rc1) or later
+  kernel.
+  
+  Please heed these dependencies....
+
+
+The following information is provided for additional background on the
+history of the driver as we push for upstream acceptance.
+
+Cable pull and temporary device Loss:
+
+  In older revisions of the lpfc driver, the driver internally queued i/o 
+  received from the midlayer. In the cases where a cable was pulled, link
+  jitter, or a device temporarily loses connectivity (due to its cable
+  being removed, a switch rebooting, or a device reboot), the driver could
+  hide the disappearance of the device from the midlayer. I/O's issued to
+  the LLDD would simply be queued for a short duration, allowing the device
+  to reappear or link come back alive, with no inadvertent side effects
+  to the system. If the driver did not hide these conditions, i/o would be
+  errored by the driver, the mid-layer would exhaust its retries, and the
+  device would be taken offline. Manual intervention would be required to
+  re-enable the device.
+
+  The community supporting kernel.org has driven an effort to remove
+  internal queuing from all LLDDs. The philosophy is that internal
+  queuing is unnecessary as the block layer already performs the 
+  queuing. Removing the queues from the LLDD makes a more predictable
+  and more simple LLDD.
+
+  As a potential new addition to kernel.org, the 8.x driver was asked to
+  have all internal queuing removed. Emulex complied with this request.
+  In explaining the impacts of this change, Emulex has worked with the
+  community in modifying the behavior of the SCSI midlayer so that SCSI
+  devices can be temporarily suspended while transport events (such as
+  those described) can occur.  
+
+  The proposed patch was posted to the linux-scsi mailing list. The patch
+  is contained in the 2.6.10-rc2 (and later) patch kits. As such, this
+  patch is part of the standard 2.6.10 kernel.
+
+  By default, the driver expects the patches for block/unblock interfaces
+  to be present in the kernel. No #define needs to be set to enable support.
+
+
+Kernel Support
+==============
+
+  This source package is targeted for the upstream kernel only. (See notes
+  at the top of this file). It relies on interfaces that are slowing
+  migrating into the kernel.org kernel.
+
+  At this time, the driver requires the 2.6.12 (if pre-release, 2.6.12-rc1)
+  kernel.
+
+  If a driver is needed for older kernels please utilize the 8.0.16
+  driver sources.
+
+
+Patches
+=======
+
+  Thankfully, at this time, patches are not needed.

+Notes on Management Module
+==========================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+Different classes of controllers from LSI Logic accept and respond to the
+user applications in a similar way. They understand the same firmware control
+commands. Furthermore, the applications also can treat different classes of
+the controllers uniformly. Hence it is logical to have a single module that
+interfaces with the applications on one side and all the low level drivers
+on the other.
+
+The advantages, though obvious, are listed for completeness:
+
+	i.	Avoid duplicate code from the low level drivers.
+	ii.	Unburden the low level drivers from having to export the
+		character node device and related handling.
+	iii.	Implement any policy mechanisms in one place.
+	iv.	Applications have to interface with only module instead of
+		multiple low level drivers.
+
+Currently this module (called Common Management Module) is used only to issue
+ioctl commands. But this module is envisioned to handle all user space level
+interactions. So any 'proc', 'sysfs' implementations will be localized in this
+common module.
+
+Credits
+-------
+
+::
+
+	"Shared code in a third module, a "library module", is an acceptable
+	solution. modprobe automatically loads dependent modules, so users
+	running "modprobe driver1" or "modprobe driver2" would automatically
+	load the shared library module."
+
+- Jeff Garzik (jgarzik@pobox.com), 02.25.2004 LKML
+
+::
+
+	"As Jeff hinted, if your userspace<->driver API is consistent between
+	your new MPT-based RAID controllers and your existing megaraid driver,
+	then perhaps you need a single small helper module (lsiioctl or some
+	better name), loaded by both mptraid and megaraid automatically, which
+	handles registering the /dev/megaraid node dynamically. In this case,
+	both mptraid and megaraid would register with lsiioctl for each
+	adapter discovered, and lsiioctl would essentially be a switch,
+	redirecting userspace tool ioctls to the appropriate driver."
+
+- Matt Domsch, (Matt_Domsch@dell.com), 02.25.2004 LKML
+
+Design
+------
+
+The Common Management Module is implemented in megaraid_mm.[ch] files. This
+module acts as a registry for low level hba drivers. The low level drivers
+(currently only megaraid) register each controller with the common module.
+
+The applications interface with the common module via the character device
+node exported by the module.
+
+The lower level drivers now understand only a new improved ioctl packet called
+uioc_t. The management module converts the older ioctl packets from the older
+applications into uioc_t. After driver handles the uioc_t, the common module
+will convert that back into the old format before returning to applications.
+
+As new applications evolve and replace the old ones, the old packet format
+will be retired.
+
+Common module dedicates one uioc_t packet to each controller registered. This
+can easily be more than one. But since megaraid is the only low level driver
+today, and it can handle only one ioctl, there is no reason to have more. But
+as new controller classes get added, this will be tuned appropriately.

+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+The initial Linux ncr53c8xx driver has been a port of the ncr driver from
+FreeBSD that has been achieved in November 1995 by:
+
+	- Gerard Roudier              <groudier@free.fr>
+
+The original driver has been written for 386bsd and FreeBSD by:
+
+        - Wolfgang Stanglmeier        <wolf@cologne.de>
+        - Stefan Esser                <se@mi.Uni-Koeln.de>
+
+It is now available as a bundle of 2 drivers:
+
+- ncr53c8xx generic driver that supports all the SYM53C8XX family including
+  the earliest 810 rev. 1, the latest 896 (2 channel LVD SCSI controller) and
+  the new 895A (1 channel LVD SCSI controller).
+- sym53c8xx enhanced driver (a.k.a. 896 drivers) that drops support of oldest
+  chips in order to gain advantage of new features, as LOAD/STORE instructions
+  available since the 810A and hardware phase mismatch available with the
+  896 and the 895A.
+
+You can find technical information about the NCR 8xx family in the
+PCI-HOWTO written by Michael Will and in the SCSI-HOWTO written by
+Drew Eckhardt.
+
+Information about new chips is available at LSILOGIC web server:
+
+          - http://www.lsilogic.com/
+
+SCSI standard documentations are available at SYMBIOS ftp server:
+
+          - ftp://ftp.symbios.com/
+
+Useful SCSI tools written by Eric Youngdale are available at tsx-11:
+
+          - ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/ALPHA/scsi/scsiinfo-X.Y.tar.gz
+          - ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/ALPHA/scsi/scsidev-X.Y.tar.gz
+
+These tools are not ALPHA but quite clean and work quite well.
+It is essential you have the 'scsiinfo' package.
+
+This short documentation describes the features of the generic and enhanced
+drivers, configuration parameters and control commands available through
+the proc SCSI file system read / write operations.
+
+This driver has been tested OK with linux/i386, Linux/Alpha and Linux/PPC.
+
+Latest driver version and patches are available at:
+
+          - ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/people/gerard-roudier
+
+or
+
+          - ftp://ftp.symbios.com/mirror/ftp.tux.org/pub/tux/roudier/drivers
+
+I am not a native speaker of English and there are probably lots of
+mistakes in this README file. Any help will be welcome.

+
+3. Advantages of the enhanced 896 driver
+========================================
+
+3.1 Optimized SCSI SCRIPTS
+--------------------------
+
+The 810A, 825A, 875, 895, 896 and 895A support new SCSI SCRIPTS instructions
+named LOAD and STORE that allow to move up to 1 DWORD from/to an IO register
+to/from memory much faster that the MOVE MEMORY instruction that is supported
+by the 53c7xx and 53c8xx family.
+The LOAD/STORE instructions support absolute and DSA relative addressing
+modes.  The SCSI SCRIPTS had been entirely rewritten using LOAD/STORE instead
+of MOVE MEMORY instructions.
+
+3.2 New features of the SYM53C896 (64 bit PCI dual LVD SCSI controller)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The 896 and the 895A allows handling of the phase mismatch context from
+SCRIPTS (avoids the phase mismatch interrupt that stops the SCSI processor
+until the C code has saved the context of the transfer).
+Implementing this without using LOAD/STORE instructions would be painful
+and I didn't even want to try it.
+
+The 896 chip supports 64 bit PCI transactions and addressing, while the
+895A supports 32 bit PCI transactions and 64 bit addressing.
+The SCRIPTS processor of these chips is not true 64 bit, but uses segment
+registers for bit 32-63. Another interesting feature is that LOAD/STORE
+instructions that address the on-chip RAM (8k) remain internal to the chip.
+
+Due to the use of LOAD/STORE SCRIPTS instructions, this driver does not
+support the following chips:
+
+- SYM53C810 revision < 0x10 (16)
+- SYM53C815 all revisions
+- SYM53C825 revision < 0x10 (16)
+
+4. Memory mapped I/O versus normal I/O
+======================================
+
+Memory mapped I/O has less latency than normal I/O.  Since
+linux-1.3.x, memory mapped I/O is used rather than normal I/O.  Memory
+mapped I/O seems to work fine on most hardware configurations, but
+some poorly designed motherboards may break this feature.
+
+The configuration option CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_IOMAPPED forces the
+driver to use normal I/O in all cases.
+
+
+5. Tagged command queueing
+==========================
+
+Queuing more than 1 command at a time to a device allows it to perform
+optimizations based on actual head positions and its mechanical
+characteristics. This feature may also reduce average command latency.
+In order to really gain advantage of this feature, devices must have
+a reasonable cache size (No miracle is to be expected for a low-end
+hard disk with 128 KB or less).
+Some known SCSI devices do not properly support tagged command queuing.
+Generally, firmware revisions that fix this kind of problems are available
+at respective vendor web/ftp sites.
+All I can say is that the hard disks I use on my machines behave well with
+this driver with tagged command queuing enabled:
+
+- IBM S12 0662
+- Conner 1080S
+- Quantum Atlas I
+- Quantum Atlas II
+
+If your controller has NVRAM, you can configure this feature per target
+from the user setup tool. The Tekram Setup program allows to tune the
+maximum number of queued commands up to 32. The Symbios Setup only allows
+to enable or disable this feature.
+
+The maximum number of simultaneous tagged commands queued to a device
+is currently set to 8 by default.  This value is suitable for most SCSI
+disks.  With large SCSI disks (>= 2GB, cache >= 512KB, average seek time
+<= 10 ms), using a larger value may give better performances.
+
+The sym53c8xx driver supports up to 255 commands per device, and the
+generic ncr53c8xx driver supports up to 64, but using more than 32 is
+generally not worth-while, unless you are using a very large disk or disk
+array. It is noticeable that most of recent hard disks seem not to accept
+more than 64 simultaneous commands. So, using more than 64 queued commands
+is probably just resource wasting.
+
+If your controller does not have NVRAM or if it is managed by the SDMS
+BIOS/SETUP, you can configure tagged queueing feature and device queue
+depths from the boot command-line. For example::
+
+  ncr53c8xx=tags:4/t2t3q15-t4q7/t1u0q32
+
+will set tagged commands queue depths as follow:
+
+- target 2  all luns  on controller 0 --> 15
+- target 3  all luns  on controller 0 --> 15
+- target 4  all luns  on controller 0 -->  7
+- target 1  lun 0     on controller 1 --> 32
+- all other target/lun                -->  4
+
+In some special conditions, some SCSI disk firmwares may return a
+QUEUE FULL status for a SCSI command. This behaviour is managed by the
+driver using the following heuristic:
+
+- Each time a QUEUE FULL status is returned, tagged queue depth is reduced
+  to the actual number of disconnected commands.
+
+- Every 1000 successfully completed SCSI commands, if allowed by the
+  current limit, the maximum number of queueable commands is incremented.
+
+Since QUEUE FULL status reception and handling is resource wasting, the
+driver notifies by default this problem to user by indicating the actual
+number of commands used and their status, as well as its decision on the
+device queue depth change.
+The heuristic used by the driver in handling QUEUE FULL ensures that the
+impact on performances is not too bad. You can get rid of the messages by
+setting verbose level to zero, as follow:
+
+1st method:
+	    boot your system using 'ncr53c8xx=verb:0' option.
+
+2nd method:
+	    apply "setverbose 0" control command to the proc fs entry
+            corresponding to your controller after boot-up.
+
+6. Parity checking
+==================
+
+The driver supports SCSI parity checking and PCI bus master parity
+checking.  These features must be enabled in order to ensure safe data
+transfers.  However, some flawed devices or mother boards will have
+problems with parity. You can disable either PCI parity or SCSI parity
+checking by entering appropriate options from the boot command line.
+(See 10: Boot setup commands).
+
+7. Profiling information
+========================
+
+Profiling information is available through the proc SCSI file system.
+Since gathering profiling information may impact performances, this
+feature is disabled by default and requires a compilation configuration
+option to be set to Y.
+
+The device associated with a host has the following pathname::
+
+          /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/N     (N=0,1,2 ....)
+
+Generally, only 1 board is used on hardware configuration, and that device is::
+
+          /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0
+
+However, if the driver has been made as module, the number of the
+hosts is incremented each time the driver is loaded.
+
+In order to display profiling information, just enter::
+
+         cat /proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0
+
+and you will get something like the following text::
+
+    General information:
+    Chip NCR53C810, device id 0x1, revision id 0x2
+    IO port address 0x6000, IRQ number 10
+    Using memory mapped IO at virtual address 0x282c000
+    Synchronous transfer period 25, max commands per lun 4
+    Profiling information:
+    num_trans    = 18014
+    num_kbytes   = 671314
+    num_disc     = 25763
+    num_break    = 1673
+    num_int      = 1685
+    num_fly      = 18038
+    ms_setup     = 4940
+    ms_data      = 369940
+    ms_disc      = 183090
+    ms_post      = 1320
+
+General information is easy to understand. The device ID and the
+revision ID identify the SCSI chip as follows:
+
+======= ============= ===========
+Chip    Device id     Revision Id
+======= ============= ===========
+810       0x1            <  0x10
+810A      0x1            >= 0x10
+815       0x4
+825       0x3            <  0x10
+860       0x6
+825A      0x3            >= 0x10
+875       0xf
+895       0xc
+======= ============= ===========
+
+The profiling information is updated upon completion of SCSI commands.
+A data structure is allocated and zeroed when the host adapter is
+attached. So, if the driver is a module, the profile counters are
+cleared each time the driver is loaded.  The "clearprof" command
+allows you to clear these counters at any time.
+
+The following counters are available:
+
+("num" prefix means "number of",
+"ms" means milli-seconds)
+
+num_trans
+	Number of completed commands
+	Example above: 18014 completed commands
+
+num_kbytes
+	Number of kbytes transferred
+	Example above: 671 MB transferred
+
+num_disc
+	Number of SCSI disconnections
+	Example above: 25763 SCSI disconnections
+
+num_break
+	number of script interruptions (phase mismatch)
+	Example above: 1673 script interruptions
+
+num_int
+	Number of interrupts other than "on the fly"
+	Example above: 1685 interruptions not "on the fly"
+
+num_fly
+	Number of interrupts "on the fly"
+	Example above: 18038 interruptions "on the fly"
+
+ms_setup
+	Elapsed time for SCSI commands setups
+	Example above: 4.94 seconds
+
+ms_data
+	Elapsed time for data transfers
+	Example above: 369.94 seconds spent for data transfer
+
+ms_disc
+	Elapsed time for SCSI disconnections
+	Example above: 183.09 seconds spent disconnected
+
+ms_post
+	Elapsed time for command post processing
+	(time from SCSI status get to command completion call)
+	Example above: 1.32 seconds spent for post processing
+
+Due to the 1/100 second tick of the system clock, "ms_post" time may
+be wrong.
+
+In the example above, we got 18038 interrupts "on the fly" and only
+1673 script breaks generally due to disconnections inside a segment
+of the scatter list.
+
+
+8. Control commands
+===================
+
+Control commands can be sent to the driver with write operations to
+the proc SCSI file system. The generic command syntax is the
+following::
+
+      echo "<verb> <parameters>" >/proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0
+      (assumes controller number is 0)
+
+Using "all" for "<target>" parameter with the commands below will
+apply to all targets of the SCSI chain (except the controller).
+
+Available commands:
+
+8.1 Set minimum synchronous period factor
+-----------------------------------------
+
+    setsync <target> <period factor>
+
+    :target:   target number
+    :period:   minimum synchronous period.
+               Maximum speed = 1000/(4*period factor) except for special
+               cases below.
+
+    Specify a period of 255, to force asynchronous transfer mode.
+
+      - 10 means 25 nano-seconds synchronous period
+      - 11 means 30 nano-seconds synchronous period
+      - 12 means 50 nano-seconds synchronous period
+
+8.2 Set wide size
+-----------------
+
+    setwide <target> <size>
+
+    :target:   target number
+    :size:     0=8 bits, 1=16bits
+
+8.3 Set maximum number of concurrent tagged commands
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+    settags <target> <tags>
+
+    :target:   target number
+    :tags:     number of concurrent tagged commands
+               must not be greater than SCSI_NCR_MAX_TAGS (default: 8)
+
+8.4 Set order type for tagged command
+-------------------------------------
+
+    setorder <order>
+
+    :order:    3 possible values:
+
+               simple:
+			use SIMPLE TAG for all operations (read and write)
+
+               ordered:
+			use ORDERED TAG for all operations
+
+               default:
+			use default tag type,
+                        SIMPLE  TAG for read  operations
+                        ORDERED TAG for write operations
+
+
+8.5 Set debug mode
+------------------
+
+    setdebug <list of debug flags>
+
+    Available debug flags:
+
+	======== ========================================================
+        alloc    print info about memory allocations (ccb, lcb)
+        queue    print info about insertions into the command start queue
+        result   print sense data on CHECK CONDITION status
+        scatter  print info about the scatter process
+        scripts  print info about the script binding process
+	tiny     print minimal debugging information
+	timing   print timing information of the NCR chip
+	nego     print information about SCSI negotiations
+	phase    print information on script interruptions
+	======== ========================================================
+
+    Use "setdebug" with no argument to reset debug flags.
+
+
+8.6 Clear profile counters
+--------------------------
+
+    clearprof
+
+    The profile counters are automatically cleared when the amount of
+    data transferred reaches 1000 GB in order to avoid overflow.
+    The "clearprof" command allows you to clear these counters at any time.
+
+
+8.7 Set flag (no_disc)
+----------------------
+
+    setflag <target> <flag>
+
+    target:    target number
+
+    For the moment, only one flag is available:
+
+        no_disc:   not allow target to disconnect.
+
+    Do not specify any flag in order to reset the flag. For example:
+
+    setflag 4
+      will reset no_disc flag for target 4, so will allow it disconnections.
+
+    setflag all
+      will allow disconnection for all devices on the SCSI bus.
+
+
+8.8 Set verbose level
+---------------------
+
+    setverbose #level
+
+    The driver default verbose level is 1. This command allows to change
+    th driver verbose level after boot-up.
+
+8.9 Reset all logical units of a target
+---------------------------------------
+
+    resetdev <target>
+
+    :target:   target number
+
+    The driver will try to send a BUS DEVICE RESET message to the target.
+    (Only supported by the SYM53C8XX driver and provided for test purpose)
+
+8.10 Abort all tasks of all logical units of a target
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+    cleardev <target>
+
+    :target:   target number
+
+    The driver will try to send a ABORT message to all the logical units
+    of the target.
+
+    (Only supported by the SYM53C8XX driver and provided for test purpose)
+
+
+9. Configuration parameters
+===========================
+
+If the firmware of all your devices is perfect enough, all the
+features supported by the driver can be enabled at start-up.  However,
+if only one has a flaw for some SCSI feature, you can disable the
+support by the driver of this feature at linux start-up and enable
+this feature after boot-up only for devices that support it safely.
+
+CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_IOMAPPED       (default answer: n)
+    Answer "y" if you suspect your mother board to not allow memory mapped I/O.
+
+    May slow down performance a little.  This option is required by
+    Linux/PPC and is used no matter what you select here.  Linux/PPC
+    suffers no performance loss with this option since all IO is memory
+    mapped anyway.
+
+CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_DEFAULT_TAGS    (default answer: 8)
+    Default tagged command queue depth.
+
+CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_MAX_TAGS         (default answer: 8)
+    This option allows you to specify the maximum number of tagged commands
+    that can be queued to a device. The maximum supported value is 32.
+
+CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYNC            (default answer: 5)
+    This option allows you to specify the frequency in MHz the driver
+    will use at boot time for synchronous data transfer negotiations.
+    This frequency can be changed later with the "setsync" control command.
+    0 means "asynchronous data transfers".
+
+CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_FORCE_SYNC_NEGO (default answer: n)
+    Force synchronous negotiation for all SCSI-2 devices.
+
+    Some SCSI-2 devices do not report this feature in byte 7 of inquiry
+    response but do support it properly (TAMARACK scanners for example).
+
+CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_NO_DISCONNECT   (default and only reasonable answer: n)
+    If you suspect a device of yours does not properly support disconnections,
+    you can answer "y". Then, all SCSI devices will never disconnect the bus
+    even while performing long SCSI operations.
+
+CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYMBIOS_COMPAT
+    Genuine SYMBIOS boards use GPIO0 in output for controller LED and GPIO3
+    bit as a flag indicating singled-ended/differential interface.
+    If all the boards of your system are genuine SYMBIOS boards or use
+    BIOS and drivers from SYMBIOS, you would want to enable this option.
+
+    This option must NOT be enabled if your system has at least one 53C8XX
+    based scsi board with a vendor-specific BIOS.
+    For example, Tekram DC-390/U, DC-390/W and DC-390/F scsi controllers
+    use a vendor-specific BIOS and are known to not use SYMBIOS compatible
+    GPIO wiring. So, this option must not be enabled if your system has
+    such a board installed.
+
+CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_NVRAM_DETECT
+    Enable support for reading the serial NVRAM data on Symbios and
+    some Symbios compatible cards, and Tekram DC390W/U/F cards. Useful for
+    systems with more than one Symbios compatible controller where at least
+    one has a serial NVRAM, or for a system with a mixture of Symbios and
+    Tekram cards. Enables setting the boot order of host adaptors
+    to something other than the default order or "reverse probe" order.
+    Also enables Symbios and Tekram cards to be distinguished so
+    CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYMBIOS_COMPAT may be set in a system with a
+    mixture of Symbios and Tekram cards so the Symbios cards can make use of
+    the full range of Symbios features, differential, led pin, without
+    causing problems for the Tekram card(s).
+
+10. Boot setup commands
+=======================
+
+10.1 Syntax
+-----------
+
+Setup commands can be passed to the driver either at boot time or as a
+string variable using 'insmod'.
+
+A boot setup command for the ncr53c8xx (sym53c8xx) driver begins with the
+driver name "ncr53c8xx="(sym53c8xx). The kernel syntax parser then expects
+an optional list of integers separated with comma followed by an optional
+list of comma-separated strings. Example of boot setup command under lilo
+prompt::
+
+    lilo: linux root=/dev/hda2 ncr53c8xx=tags:4,sync:10,debug:0x200
+
+- enable tagged commands, up to 4 tagged commands queued.
+- set synchronous negotiation speed to 10 Mega-transfers / second.
+- set DEBUG_NEGO flag.
+
+Since comma seems not to be allowed when defining a string variable using
+'insmod', the driver also accepts <space> as option separator.
+The following command will install driver module with the same options as
+above::
+
+    insmod ncr53c8xx.o ncr53c8xx="tags:4 sync:10 debug:0x200"
+
+For the moment, the integer list of arguments is discarded by the driver.
+It will be used in the future in order to allow a per controller setup.
+
+Each string argument must be specified as "keyword:value". Only lower-case
+characters and digits are allowed.
+
+In a system that contains multiple 53C8xx adapters insmod will install the
+specified driver on each adapter. To exclude a chip use the 'excl' keyword.
+
+The sequence of commands::
+
+    insmod sym53c8xx sym53c8xx=excl:0x1400
+    insmod ncr53c8xx
+
+installs the sym53c8xx driver on all adapters except the one at IO port
+address 0x1400 and then installs the ncr53c8xx driver to the adapter at IO
+port address 0x1400.
+
+
+10.2 Available arguments
+------------------------
+
+10.2.1  Master parity checking
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	======     ========
+        mpar:y     enabled
+        mpar:n     disabled
+	======     ========
+
+10.2.2  Scsi parity checking
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	======     ========
+        spar:y     enabled
+        spar:n     disabled
+	======     ========
+
+10.2.3  Scsi disconnections
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	======     ========
+        disc:y     enabled
+        disc:n     disabled
+	======     ========
+
+10.2.4  Special features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+   Only apply to 810A, 825A, 860, 875 and 895 controllers.
+   Have no effect with other ones.
+
+	=======    =================================================
+        specf:y    (or 1) enabled
+        specf:n    (or 0) disabled
+        specf:3           enabled except Memory Write And Invalidate
+	=======    =================================================
+
+   The default driver setup is 'specf:3'. As a consequence, option 'specf:y'
+   must be specified in the boot setup command to enable Memory Write And
+   Invalidate.
+
+10.2.5  Ultra SCSI support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+   Only apply to 860, 875, 895, 895a, 896, 1010 and 1010_66 controllers.
+   Have no effect with other ones.
+
+	=======    ========================
+        ultra:n    All ultra speeds enabled
+        ultra:2    Ultra2 enabled
+        ultra:1    Ultra enabled
+        ultra:0    Ultra speeds disabled
+	=======    ========================
+
+10.2.6  Default number of tagged commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	======================= ===============================
+        tags:0     (or tags:1 ) tagged command queuing disabled
+        tags:#tags (#tags  > 1) tagged command queuing enabled
+	======================= ===============================
+
+  #tags will be truncated to the max queued commands configuration parameter.
+  This option also allows to specify a command queue depth for each device
+  that support tagged command queueing.
+
+  Example::
+
+      ncr53c8xx=tags:10/t2t3q16-t5q24/t1u2q32
+
+  will set devices queue depth as follow:
+
+      - controller #0 target #2 and target #3                  -> 16 commands,
+      - controller #0 target #5                                -> 24 commands,
+      - controller #1 target #1 logical unit #2                -> 32 commands,
+      - all other logical units (all targets, all controllers) -> 10 commands.
+
+10.2.7  Default synchronous period factor
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+============ ========================================================
+sync:255     disabled (asynchronous transfer mode)
+sync:#factor
+	     ============     =======================================
+	     #factor = 10     Ultra-2 SCSI 40 Mega-transfers / second
+	     #factor = 11     Ultra-2 SCSI 33 Mega-transfers / second
+	     #factor < 25     Ultra   SCSI 20 Mega-transfers / second
+	     #factor < 50     Fast    SCSI-2
+	     ============     =======================================
+============ ========================================================
+
+  In all cases, the driver will use the minimum transfer period supported by
+  controllers according to NCR53C8XX chip type.
+
+10.2.8  Negotiate synchronous with all devices
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+        (force sync nego)
+
+        =====      =========
+        fsn:y      enabled
+        fsn:n      disabled
+        =====      =========
+
+10.2.9  Verbosity level
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+        ======     =========
+        verb:0     minimal
+        verb:1     normal
+        verb:2     too much
+        ======     =========
+
+10.2.10 Debug mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+========   ==================================================================
+debug:0    clear debug flags
+debug:#x   set debug flags
+
+	    #x is an integer value combining the following power-of-2 values:
+
+	    =============  ======
+	    DEBUG_ALLOC       0x1
+	    DEBUG_PHASE       0x2
+	    DEBUG_POLL        0x4
+	    DEBUG_QUEUE       0x8
+	    DEBUG_RESULT     0x10
+	    DEBUG_SCATTER    0x20
+	    DEBUG_SCRIPT     0x40
+	    DEBUG_TINY       0x80
+	    DEBUG_TIMING    0x100
+	    DEBUG_NEGO      0x200
+	    DEBUG_TAGS      0x400
+	    DEBUG_FREEZE    0x800
+	    DEBUG_RESTART  0x1000
+	    =============  ======
+========   ==================================================================
+
+  You can play safely with DEBUG_NEGO. However, some of these flags may
+  generate bunches of syslog messages.
+
+10.2.11 Burst max
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+=========  ==================================================================
+burst:0    burst disabled
+burst:255  get burst length from initial IO register settings.
+burst:#x   burst enabled (1<<#x burst transfers max)
+
+	   #x is an integer value which is log base 2 of the burst transfers
+	   max.
+
+	   The NCR53C875 and NCR53C825A support up to 128 burst transfers
+	   (#x = 7).
+
+	   Other chips only support up to 16 (#x = 4).
+
+	   This is a maximum value. The driver set the burst length according
+	   to chip and revision ids. By default the driver uses the maximum
+	   value supported by the chip.
+=========  ==================================================================
+
+10.2.12 LED support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+        =====      ===================
+        led:1      enable  LED support
+        led:0      disable LED support
+        =====      ===================
+
+  Donnot enable LED support if your scsi board does not use SDMS BIOS.
+  (See 'Configuration parameters')
+
+10.2.13 Max wide
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+        ======     ===================
+        wide:1      wide scsi enabled
+        wide:0      wide scsi disabled
+        ======     ===================
+
+  Some scsi boards use a 875 (ultra wide) and only supply narrow connectors.
+  If you have connected a wide device with a 50 pins to 68 pins cable
+  converter, any accepted wide negotiation will break further data transfers.
+  In such a case, using "wide:0" in the bootup command will be helpful.
+
+10.2.14 Differential mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	======	=================================
+        diff:0	never set up diff mode
+        diff:1	set up diff mode if BIOS set it
+        diff:2	always set up diff mode
+        diff:3	set diff mode if GPIO3 is not set
+	======	=================================
+
+10.2.15 IRQ mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	=========  ========================================================
+        irqm:0     always open drain
+        irqm:1     same as initial settings (assumed BIOS settings)
+        irqm:2     always totem pole
+        irqm:0x10  driver will not use IRQF_SHARED flag when requesting irq
+	=========  ========================================================
+
+    (Bits 0x10 and 0x20 can be combined with hardware irq mode option)
+
+10.2.16 Reverse probe
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	=========   ========================================================
+        revprob:n   probe chip ids from the PCI configuration in this order:
+                    810, 815, 820, 860, 875, 885, 895, 896
+        revprob:y   probe chip ids in the reverse order.
+	=========   ========================================================
+
+10.2.17 Fix up PCI configuration space
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+        pcifix:<option bits>
+
+    Available option bits:
+
+	===    ===============================================================
+        0x0    No attempt to fix PCI configuration space registers values.
+        0x1    Set PCI cache-line size register if not set.
+        0x2    Set write and invalidate bit in PCI command register.
+        0x4    Increase if necessary PCI latency timer according to burst max.
+	===    ===============================================================
+
+    Use 'pcifix:7' in order to allow the driver to fix up all PCI features.
+
+10.2.18 Serial NVRAM
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	=======     =========================================
+        nvram:n     do not look for serial NVRAM
+        nvram:y     test controllers for onboard serial NVRAM
+	=======     =========================================
+
+        (alternate binary form)
+        mvram=<bits options>
+
+        ====   =================================================================
+        0x01   look for NVRAM  (equivalent to nvram=y)
+        0x02   ignore NVRAM "Synchronous negotiation" parameters for all devices
+        0x04   ignore NVRAM "Wide negotiation"  parameter for all devices
+        0x08   ignore NVRAM "Scan at boot time" parameter for all devices
+        0x80   also attach controllers set to OFF in the NVRAM (sym53c8xx only)
+        ====   =================================================================
+
+10.2.19 Check SCSI BUS
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+        buschk:<option bits>
+
+    Available option bits:
+
+        ====   ================================================
+        0x0:   No check.
+        0x1:   Check and do not attach the controller on error.
+        0x2:   Check and just warn on error.
+        0x4:   Disable SCSI bus integrity checking.
+        ====   ================================================
+
+10.2.20 Exclude a host from being attached
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+        excl=<io_address>
+
+    Prevent host at a given io address from being attached.
+    For example 'ncr53c8xx=excl:0xb400,excl:0xc000' indicate to the
+    ncr53c8xx driver not to attach hosts at address 0xb400 and 0xc000.
+
+10.2.21 Suggest a default SCSI id for hosts
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	==========	==========================================
+        hostid:255	no id suggested.
+        hostid:#x	(0 < x < 7) x suggested for hosts SCSI id.
+	==========	==========================================
+
+    If a host SCSI id is available from the NVRAM, the driver will ignore
+    any value suggested as boot option. Otherwise, if a suggested value
+    different from 255 has been supplied, it will use it. Otherwise, it will
+    try to deduce the value previously set in the hardware and use value
+    7 if the hardware value is zero.
+
+10.2.22 Enable use of IMMEDIATE ARBITRATION
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+        (only supported by the sym53c8xx driver. See 10.7 for more details)
+
+=======   =================================================================
+iarb:0    do not use this feature.
+iarb:#x   use this feature according to bit fields as follow:
+
+	  ========= =======================================================
+	  bit 0 (1) enable IARB each time the initiator has been reselected
+		    when it arbitrated for the SCSI BUS.
+	  (#x >> 4) maximum number of successive settings of IARB if the
+		    initiator win arbitration and it has other commands
+		    to send to a device.
+	  ========= =======================================================

+10.3 Advised boot setup commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If the driver has been configured with default options, the equivalent
+boot setup is::
+
+   ncr53c8xx=mpar:y,spar:y,disc:y,specf:3,fsn:n,ultra:2,fsn:n,revprob:n,verb:1\
+             tags:0,sync:50,debug:0,burst:7,led:0,wide:1,settle:2,diff:0,irqm:0
+
+For an installation diskette or a safe but not fast system,
+boot setup can be::
+
+    ncr53c8xx=safe:y,mpar:y,disc:y
+    ncr53c8xx=safe:y,disc:y
+    ncr53c8xx=safe:y,mpar:y
+    ncr53c8xx=safe:y
+
+My personal system works flawlessly with the following equivalent setup::
+
+   ncr53c8xx=mpar:y,spar:y,disc:y,specf:1,fsn:n,ultra:2,fsn:n,revprob:n,verb:1\
+             tags:32,sync:12,debug:0,burst:7,led:1,wide:1,settle:2,diff:0,irqm:0
+
+The driver prints its actual setup when verbosity level is 2. You can try
+"ncr53c8xx=verb:2" to get the "static" setup of the driver, or add "verb:2"
+to your boot setup command in order to check the actual setup the driver is
+using.
+
+10.4 PCI configuration fix-up boot option
+-----------------------------------------
+
+pcifix:<option bits>
+
+Available option bits:
+
+    ===      =====================================================
+    0x1      Set PCI cache-line size register if not set.
+    0x2      Set write and invalidate bit in PCI command register.
+    ===      =====================================================
+
+Use 'pcifix:3' in order to allow the driver to fix both PCI features.
+
+These options only apply to new SYMBIOS chips 810A, 825A, 860, 875
+and 895 and are only supported for Pentium and 486 class processors.
+Recent SYMBIOS 53C8XX scsi processors are able to use PCI read multiple
+and PCI write and invalidate commands. These features require the
+cache line size register to be properly set in the PCI configuration
+space of the chips. On the other hand, chips will use PCI write and
+invalidate commands only if the corresponding bit is set to 1 in the
+PCI command register.
+
+Not all PCI bioses set the PCI cache line register and the PCI write and
+invalidate bit in the PCI configuration space of 53C8XX chips.
+Optimized PCI accesses may be broken for some PCI/memory controllers or
+make problems with some PCI boards.
+
+This fix-up worked flawlessly on my previous system.
+(MB Triton HX / 53C875 / 53C810A)
+I use these options at my own risks as you will do if you decide to
+use them too.
+
+
+10.5 Serial NVRAM support boot option
+-------------------------------------
+
+=======     =========================================
+nvram:n     do not look for serial NVRAM
+nvram:y     test controllers for onboard serial NVRAM
+=======     =========================================
+
+This option can also been entered as an hexadecimal value that allows
+to control what information the driver will get from the NVRAM and what
+information it will ignore.
+For details see '17. Serial NVRAM support'.
+
+When this option is enabled, the driver tries to detect all boards using
+a Serial NVRAM. This memory is used to hold user set up parameters.
+
+The parameters the driver is able to get from the NVRAM depend on the
+data format used, as follow:
+
++-------------------------------+------------------+--------------+
+|                               |Tekram format     |Symbios format|

++-------------------------------+------------------+--------------+
+|SCSI devices parameters                                          |
++-------------------------------+------------------+--------------+
+|  * Synchronous transfer speed |        Y         |       Y      |
++-------------------------------+------------------+--------------+
+|  * Wide 16 / Narrow           |        Y         |       Y      |
++-------------------------------+------------------+--------------+
+|  * Tagged Command Queuing     |        Y         |       Y      |
+|    enabled                    |                  |              |
++-------------------------------+------------------+--------------+
+|  * Disconnections enabled     |        Y         |       Y      |
++-------------------------------+------------------+--------------+
+|  * Scan at boot time          |        N         |       Y      |
++-------------------------------+------------------+--------------+
+
+In order to speed up the system boot, for each device configured without
+the "scan at boot time" option, the driver forces an error on the
+first TEST UNIT READY command received for this device.
+
+Some SDMS BIOS revisions seem to be unable to boot cleanly with very fast
+hard disks. In such a situation you cannot configure the NVRAM with
+optimized parameters value.
+
+The 'nvram' boot option can be entered in hexadecimal form in order
+to ignore some options configured in the NVRAM, as follow:
+
+mvram=<bits options>
+
+      ====   =================================================================
+      0x01   look for NVRAM  (equivalent to nvram=y)
+      0x02   ignore NVRAM "Synchronous negotiation" parameters for all devices
+      0x04   ignore NVRAM "Wide negotiation"  parameter for all devices
+      0x08   ignore NVRAM "Scan at boot time" parameter for all devices
+      0x80   also attach controllers set to OFF in the NVRAM (sym53c8xx only)
+      ====   =================================================================
+
+Option 0x80 is only supported by the sym53c8xx driver and is disabled by
+default. Result is that, by default (option not set), the sym53c8xx driver
+will not attach controllers set to OFF in the NVRAM.
+
+The ncr53c8xx always tries to attach all the controllers. Option 0x80 has
+not been added to the ncr53c8xx driver, since it has been reported to
+confuse users who use this driver since a long time. If you desire a
+controller not to be attached by the ncr53c8xx driver at Linux boot, you
+must use the 'excl' driver boot option.
+
+10.6 SCSI BUS checking boot option.
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When this option is set to a non-zero value, the driver checks SCSI lines
+logic state, 100 micro-seconds after having asserted the SCSI RESET line.
+The driver just reads SCSI lines and checks all lines read FALSE except RESET.
+Since SCSI devices shall release the BUS at most 800 nano-seconds after SCSI
+RESET has been asserted, any signal to TRUE may indicate a SCSI BUS problem.
+Unfortunately, the following common SCSI BUS problems are not detected:
+
+- Only 1 terminator installed.
+- Misplaced terminators.
+- Bad quality terminators.
+
+On the other hand, either bad cabling, broken devices, not conformant
+devices, ... may cause a SCSI signal to be wrong when te driver reads it.
+
+10.7 IMMEDIATE ARBITRATION boot option
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This option is only supported by the SYM53C8XX driver (not by the NCR53C8XX).
+
+SYMBIOS 53C8XX chips are able to arbitrate for the SCSI BUS as soon as they
+have detected an expected disconnection (BUS FREE PHASE). For this process
+to be started, bit 1 of SCNTL1 IO register must be set when the chip is
+connected to the SCSI BUS.
+
+When this feature has been enabled for the current connection, the chip has
+every chance to win arbitration if only devices with lower priority are
+competing for the SCSI BUS. By the way, when the chip is using SCSI id 7,
+then it will for sure win the next SCSI BUS arbitration.
+
+Since, there is no way to know what devices are trying to arbitrate for the
+BUS, using this feature can be extremely unfair. So, you are not advised
+to enable it, or at most enable this feature for the case the chip lost
+the previous arbitration (boot option 'iarb:1').
+
+This feature has the following advantages:
+
+a) Allow the initiator with ID 7 to win arbitration when it wants so.
+b) Overlap at least 4 micro-seconds of arbitration time with the execution
+   of SCRIPTS that deal with the end of the current connection and that
+   starts the next job.
+
+Hmmm... But (a) may just prevent other devices from reselecting the initiator,
+and delay data transfers or status/completions, and (b) may just waste
+SCSI BUS bandwidth if the SCRIPTS execution lasts more than 4 micro-seconds.
+
+The use of IARB needs the SCSI_NCR_IARB_SUPPORT option to have been defined
+at compile time and the 'iarb' boot option to have been set to a non zero
+value at boot time. It is not that useful for real work, but can be used
+to stress SCSI devices or for some applications that can gain advantage of
+it. By the way, if you experience badnesses like 'unexpected disconnections',
+'bad reselections', etc... when using IARB on heavy IO load, you should not
+be surprised, because force-feeding anything and blocking its arse at the
+same time cannot work for a long time. :-))
+
+
+11. Some constants and flags of the ncr53c8xx.h header file

+
+
+13. Architecture dependent features
+===================================
+
+<Not yet written>
+
+
+14. Known problems
+==================
+
+14.1 Tagged commands with Iomega Jaz device
+-------------------------------------------
+
+I have not tried this device, however it has been reported to me the
+following: This device is capable of Tagged command queuing. However
+while spinning up, it rejects Tagged commands. This behaviour is
+conforms to 6.8.2 of SCSI-2 specifications. The current behaviour of
+the driver in that situation is not satisfying. So do not enable
+Tagged command queuing for devices that are able to spin down.  The
+other problem that may appear is timeouts. The only way to avoid
+timeouts seems to edit linux/drivers/scsi/sd.c and to increase the
+current timeout values.
+
+14.2 Device names change when another controller is added
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+When you add a new NCR53C8XX chip based controller to a system that already
+has one or more controllers of this family, it may happen that the order
+the driver registers them to the kernel causes problems due to device
+name changes.
+When at least one controller uses NvRAM, SDMS BIOS version 4 allows you to
+define the order the BIOS will scan the scsi boards. The driver attaches
+controllers according to BIOS information if NvRAM detect option is set.
+
+If your controllers do not have NvRAM, you can:
+
+- Ask the driver to probe chip ids in reverse order from the boot command
+  line: ncr53c8xx=revprob:y
+- Make appropriate changes in the fstab.
+- Use the 'scsidev' tool from Eric Youngdale.
+
+14.3 Using only 8 bit devices with a WIDE SCSI controller
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+When only 8 bit NARROW devices are connected to a 16 bit WIDE SCSI controller,
+you must ensure that lines of the wide part of the SCSI BUS are pulled-up.
+This can be achieved by ENABLING the WIDE TERMINATOR portion of the SCSI
+controller card.
+
+The TYAN 1365 documentation revision 1.2 is not correct about such settings.
+(page 10, figure 3.3).
+
+14.4 Possible data corruption during a Memory Write and Invalidate
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This problem is described in SYMBIOS DEL 397, Part Number 69-039241, ITEM 4.
+
+In some complex situations, 53C875 chips revision <= 3 may start a PCI
+Write and Invalidate Command at a not cache-line-aligned 4 DWORDS boundary.
+This is only possible when Cache Line Size is 8 DWORDS or greater.
+Pentium systems use a 8 DWORDS cache line size and so are concerned by
+this chip bug, unlike i486 systems that use a 4 DWORDS cache line size.
+
+When this situation occurs, the chip may complete the Write and Invalidate
+command after having only filled part of the last cache line involved in
+the transfer, leaving to data corruption the remainder of this cache line.
+
+Not using Write And Invalidate obviously gets rid of this chip bug, and so
+it is now the default setting of the driver.
+However, for people like me who want to enable this feature, I have added
+part of a work-around suggested by SYMBIOS. This work-around resets the
+addressing logic when the DATA IN phase is entered and so prevents the bug
+from being triggered for the first SCSI MOVE of the phase. This work-around
+should be enough according to the following:
+
+The only driver internal data structure that is greater than 8 DWORDS  and
+that is moved by the SCRIPTS processor is the 'CCB header' that contains
+the context of the SCSI transfer. This data structure is aligned on 8 DWORDS
+boundary (Pentium Cache Line Size), and so is immune to this chip bug, at
+least on Pentium systems.
+
+But the conditions of this bug can be met when a SCSI read command is
+performed using a buffer that is 4 DWORDS but not cache-line aligned.
+This cannot happen under Linux when scatter/gather lists are used since
+they only refer to system buffers that are well aligned. So, a work around
+may only be needed under Linux when a scatter/gather list is not used and
+when the SCSI DATA IN phase is reentered after a phase mismatch.
+
+15. SCSI problem troubleshooting
+================================
+
+15.1 Problem tracking
+---------------------
+
+Most SCSI problems are due to a non conformant SCSI bus or to buggy
+devices.  If unfortunately you have SCSI problems, you can check the
+following things:
+
+- SCSI bus cables
+- terminations at both end of the SCSI chain
+- linux syslog messages (some of them may help you)
+
+If you do not find the source of problems, you can configure the
+driver with no features enabled.
+
+- only asynchronous data transfers
+- tagged commands disabled
+- disconnections not allowed
+
+Now, if your SCSI bus is ok, your system have every chance to work
+with this safe configuration but performances will not be optimal.
+
+If it still fails, then you can send your problem description to
+appropriate mailing lists or news-groups.  Send me a copy in order to
+be sure I will receive it.  Obviously, a bug in the driver code is
+possible.
+
+     My email address: Gerard Roudier <groudier@free.fr>
+
+Allowing disconnections is important if you use several devices on
+your SCSI bus but often causes problems with buggy devices.
+Synchronous data transfers increases throughput of fast devices like
+hard disks.  Good SCSI hard disks with a large cache gain advantage of
+tagged commands queuing.
+
+Try to enable one feature at a time with control commands.  For example:
+
+::
+
+    echo "setsync all 25" >/proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0
+
+Will enable fast synchronous data transfer negotiation for all targets.
+
+::
+
+    echo "setflag 3" >/proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0
+
+Will reset flags (no_disc) for target 3, and so will allow it to disconnect
+the SCSI Bus.
+
+::
+
+    echo "settags 3 8" >/proc/scsi/ncr53c8xx/0
+
+Will enable tagged command queuing for target 3 if that device supports it.
+
+Once you have found the device and the feature that cause problems, just
+disable that feature for that device.
+
+15.2 Understanding hardware error reports
+-----------------------------------------
+
+When the driver detects an unexpected error condition, it may display a
+message of the following pattern::
+
+    sym53c876-0:1: ERROR (0:48) (1-21-65) (f/95) @ (script 7c0:19000000).
+    sym53c876-0: script cmd = 19000000
+    sym53c876-0: regdump: da 10 80 95 47 0f 01 07 75 01 81 21 80 01 09 00.
+
+Some fields in such a message may help you understand the cause of the
+problem, as follows::
+
+    sym53c876-0:1: ERROR (0:48) (1-21-65) (f/95) @ (script 7c0:19000000).
+    ............A.........B.C....D.E..F....G.H.......I.....J...K.......
+
+Field A : target number.
+  SCSI ID of the device the controller was talking with at the moment the
+  error occurs.
+
+Field B : DSTAT io register (DMA STATUS)
+  ========   =============================================================
+  Bit 0x40   MDPE Master Data Parity Error
+             Data parity error detected on the PCI BUS.
+  Bit 0x20   BF   Bus Fault
+             PCI bus fault condition detected
+  Bit 0x01   IID  Illegal Instruction Detected
+             Set by the chip when it detects an Illegal Instruction format
+             on some condition that makes an instruction illegal.
+  Bit 0x80   DFE Dma Fifo Empty
+             Pure status bit that does not indicate an error.
+  ========   =============================================================
+
+  If the reported DSTAT value contains a combination of MDPE (0x40),
+  BF (0x20), then the cause may be likely due to a PCI BUS problem.
+
+Field C : SIST io register (SCSI Interrupt Status)
+  ========   ==================================================================
+  Bit 0x08   SGE  SCSI GROSS ERROR
+             Indicates that the chip detected a severe error condition
+             on the SCSI BUS that prevents the SCSI protocol from functioning
+             properly.
+  Bit 0x04   UDC  Unexpected Disconnection
+             Indicates that the device released the SCSI BUS when the chip
+             was not expecting this to happen. A device may behave so to
+             indicate the SCSI initiator that an error condition not reportable
+             using the SCSI protocol has occurred.
+  Bit 0x02   RST  SCSI BUS Reset
+             Generally SCSI targets do not reset the SCSI BUS, although any
+             device on the BUS can reset it at any time.
+  Bit 0x01   PAR  Parity
+             SCSI parity error detected.
+  ========   ==================================================================
+
+  On a faulty SCSI BUS, any error condition among SGE (0x08), UDC (0x04) and
+  PAR (0x01) may be detected by the chip. If your SCSI system sometimes
+  encounters such error conditions, especially SCSI GROSS ERROR, then a SCSI
+  BUS problem is likely the cause of these errors.
+
+For fields D,E,F,G and H, you may look into the sym53c8xx_defs.h file
+that contains some minimal comments on IO register bits.
+
+Field D : SOCL  Scsi Output Control Latch
+          This register reflects the state of the SCSI control lines the
+          chip want to drive or compare against.
+
+Field E : SBCL  Scsi Bus Control Lines
+          Actual value of control lines on the SCSI BUS.
+
+Field F : SBDL  Scsi Bus Data Lines
+          Actual value of data lines on the SCSI BUS.
+
+Field G : SXFER  SCSI Transfer
+          Contains the setting of the Synchronous Period for output and
+          the current Synchronous offset (offset 0 means asynchronous).
+
+Field H : SCNTL3 Scsi Control Register 3
+          Contains the setting of timing values for both asynchronous and
+          synchronous data transfers.
+
+Understanding Fields I, J, K and dumps requires to have good knowledge of
+SCSI standards, chip cores functionnals and internal driver data structures.
+You are not required to decode and understand them, unless you want to help
+maintain the driver code.
+
+16. Synchronous transfer negotiation tables
+===========================================
+
+Tables below have been created by calling the routine the driver uses
+for synchronisation negotiation timing calculation and chip setting.
+The first table corresponds to Ultra chips 53875 and 53C860 with 80 MHz
+clock and 5 clock divisors.
+The second one has been calculated by setting the scsi clock to 40 Mhz
+and using 4 clock divisors and so applies to all NCR53C8XX chips in fast
+SCSI-2 mode.
+
+Periods are in nano-seconds and speeds are in Mega-transfers per second.
+1 Mega-transfers/second means 1 MB/s with 8 bits SCSI and 2 MB/s with
+Wide16 SCSI.

+17. Serial NVRAM
+================
+
+(added by Richard Waltham: dormouse@farsrobt.demon.co.uk)
+
+17.1 Features
+-------------
+
+Enabling serial NVRAM support enables detection of the serial NVRAM included
+on Symbios and some Symbios compatible host adaptors, and Tekram boards. The
+serial NVRAM is used by Symbios and Tekram to hold set up parameters for the
+host adaptor and its attached drives.
+
+The Symbios NVRAM also holds data on the boot order of host adaptors in a
+system with more than one host adaptor. This enables the order of scanning
+the cards for drives to be changed from the default used during host adaptor
+detection.
+
+This can be done to a limited extent at the moment using "reverse probe" but
+this only changes the order of detection of different types of cards. The
+NVRAM boot order settings can do this as well as change the order the same
+types of cards are scanned in, something "reverse probe" cannot do.
+
+Tekram boards using Symbios chips, DC390W/F/U, which have NVRAM are detected
+and this is used to distinguish between Symbios compatible and Tekram host
+adaptors. This is used to disable the Symbios compatible "diff" setting
+incorrectly set on Tekram boards if the CONFIG_SCSI_53C8XX_SYMBIOS_COMPAT
+configuration parameter is set enabling both Symbios and Tekram boards to be
+used together with the Symbios cards using all their features, including
+"diff" support. ("led pin" support for Symbios compatible cards can remain
+enabled when using Tekram cards. It does nothing useful for Tekram host
+adaptors but does not cause problems either.)

+18. Support for Big Endian
+==========================
+
+The PCI local bus has been primarily designed for x86 architecture.
+As a consequence, PCI devices generally expect DWORDS using little endian
+byte ordering.
+
+18.1 Big Endian CPU
+-------------------
+
+In order to support NCR chips on a Big Endian architecture the driver has to
+perform byte reordering each time it is needed. This feature has been
+added to the driver by Cort <cort@cs.nmt.edu> and is available in driver
+version 2.5 and later ones. For the moment Big Endian support has only
+been tested on Linux/PPC (PowerPC).
+
+18.2 NCR chip in Big Endian mode of operations
+----------------------------------------------
+
+It can be read in SYMBIOS documentation that some chips support a special
+Big Endian mode, on paper: 53C815, 53C825A, 53C875, 53C875N, 53C895.
+This mode of operations is not software-selectable, but needs pin named
+BigLit to be pulled-up. Using this mode, most of byte reorderings should
+be avoided when the driver is running on a Big Endian CPU.
+Driver version 2.5 is also, in theory, ready for this feature.

+Qlogic FASXXX Family Driver Notes
+=================================
+
+This driver supports the Qlogic FASXXX family of chips.  This driver
+only works with the ISA, VLB, and PCMCIA versions of the Qlogic
+FastSCSI!  cards as well as any other card based on the FASXX chip
+(including the Control Concepts SCSI/IDE/SIO/PIO/FDC cards).
+
+This driver does NOT support the PCI version.  Support for these PCI
+Qlogic boards:
+
+	* IQ-PCI
+	* IQ-PCI-10
+	* IQ-PCI-D
+
+is provided by the qla1280 driver.
+
+Nor does it support the PCI-Basic, which is supported by the
+'am53c974' driver.
+
+PCMCIA Support
+==============
+
+This currently only works if the card is enabled first from DOS.  This
+means you will have to load your socket and card services, and
+QL41DOS.SYS and QL40ENBL.SYS.  These are a minimum, but loading the
+rest of the modules won't interfere with the operation.  The next
+thing to do is load the kernel without resetting the hardware, which
+can be a simple ctrl-alt-delete with a boot floppy, or by using
+loadlin with the kernel image accessible from DOS.  If you are using
+the Linux PCMCIA driver, you will have to adjust it or otherwise stop
+it from configuring the card.
+
+I am working with the PCMCIA group to make it more flexible, but that
+may take a while.
+
+All Cards
+=========
+
+The top of the qlogic.c file has a number of defines that controls
+configuration.  As shipped, it provides a balance between speed and
+function.  If there are any problems, try setting SLOW_CABLE to 1, and
+then try changing USE_IRQ and TURBO_PDMA to zero.  If you are familiar
+with SCSI, there are other settings which can tune the bus.
+
+It may be a good idea to enable RESET_AT_START, especially if the
+devices may not have been just powered up, or if you are restarting
+after a crash, since they may be busy trying to complete the last
+command or something.  It comes up faster if this is set to zero, and
+if you have reliable hardware and connections it may be more useful to
+not reset things.
+
+Some Troubleshooting Tips
+=========================
+
+Make sure it works properly under DOS.  You should also do an initial FDISK
+on a new drive if you want partitions.
+
+Don't enable all the speedups first.  If anything is wrong, they will make
+any problem worse.
+
+Important
+=========
+
+The best way to test if your cables, termination, etc. are good is to
+copy a very big file (e.g. a doublespace container file, or a very
+large executable or archive).  It should be at least 5 megabytes, but
+you can do multiple tests on smaller files.  Then do a COMP to verify
+that the file copied properly.  (Turn off all caching when doing these
+tests, otherwise you will test your RAM and not the files).  Then do
+10 COMPs, comparing the same file on the SCSI hard drive, i.e. "COMP
+realbig.doc realbig.doc".  Then do it after the computer gets warm.
+
+I noticed my system which seems to work 100% would fail this test if
+the computer was left on for a few hours.  It was worse with longer
+cables, and more devices on the SCSI bus.  What seems to happen is
+that it gets a false ACK causing an extra byte to be inserted into the
+stream (and this is not detected).  This can be caused by bad
+termination (the ACK can be reflected), or by noise when the chips
+work less well because of the heat, or when cables get too long for
+the speed.
+
+Remember, if it doesn't work under DOS, it probably won't work under
+Linux.

+README for the SCSI media changer driver
+========================================
+
+This is a driver for SCSI Medium Changer devices, which are listed
+with "Type: Medium Changer" in /proc/scsi/scsi.
+
+This is for *real* Jukeboxes.  It is *not* supported to work with
+common small CD-ROM changers, neither one-lun-per-slot SCSI changers
+nor IDE drives.
+
+Userland tools available from here:
+	http://linux.bytesex.org/misc/changer.html
+
+
+General Information
+-------------------
+
+First some words about how changers work: A changer has 2 (possibly
+more) SCSI ID's. One for the changer device which controls the robot,
+and one for the device which actually reads and writes the data. The
+later may be anything, a MOD, a CD-ROM, a tape or whatever. For the
+changer device this is a "don't care", he *only* shuffles around the
+media, nothing else.
+
+
+The SCSI changer model is complex, compared to - for example - IDE-CD
+changers. But it allows to handle nearly all possible cases. It knows
+4 different types of changer elements:
+
+  ===============   ==================================================
+  media transport   this one shuffles around the media, i.e. the
+                    transport arm.  Also known as "picker".
+  storage           a slot which can hold a media.
+  import/export     the same as above, but is accessible from outside,
+                    i.e. there the operator (you !) can use this to
+                    fill in and remove media from the changer.
+		    Sometimes named "mailslot".
+  data transfer     this is the device which reads/writes, i.e. the
+		    CD-ROM / Tape / whatever drive.
+  ===============   ==================================================
+
+None of these is limited to one: A huge Jukebox could have slots for
+123 CD-ROM's, 5 CD-ROM readers (and therefore 6 SCSI ID's: the changer
+and each CD-ROM) and 2 transport arms. No problem to handle.
+
+
+How it is implemented
+---------------------
+
+I implemented the driver as character device driver with a NetBSD-like
+ioctl interface. Just grabbed NetBSD's header file and one of the
+other linux SCSI device drivers as starting point. The interface
+should be source code compatible with NetBSD. So if there is any
+software (anybody knows ???) which supports a BSDish changer driver,
+it should work with this driver too.
+
+Over time a few more ioctls where added, volume tag support for example
+wasn't covered by the NetBSD ioctl API.
+
+
+Current State
+-------------
+
+Support for more than one transport arm is not implemented yet (and
+nobody asked for it so far...).
+
+I test and use the driver myself with a 35 slot cdrom jukebox from
+Grundig.  I got some reports telling it works ok with tape autoloaders
+(Exabyte, HP and DEC).  Some People use this driver with amanda.  It
+works fine with small (11 slots) and a huge (4 MOs, 88 slots)
+magneto-optical Jukebox.  Probably with lots of other changers too, most
+(but not all :-) people mail me only if it does *not* work...
+
+I don't have any device lists, neither black-list nor white-list.  Thus
+it is quite useless to ask me whenever a specific device is supported or
+not.  In theory every changer device which supports the SCSI-2 media
+changer command set should work out-of-the-box with this driver.  If it
+doesn't, it is a bug.  Either within the driver or within the firmware
+of the changer device.
+
+
+Using it
+--------
+
+This is a character device with major number is 86, so use
+"mknod /dev/sch0 c 86 0" to create the special file for the driver.
+
+If the module finds the changer, it prints some messages about the
+device [ try "dmesg" if you don't see anything ] and should show up in
+/proc/devices. If not....  some changers use ID ? / LUN 0 for the
+device and ID ? / LUN 1 for the robot mechanism. But Linux does *not*
+look for LUNs other than 0 as default, because there are too many
+broken devices. So you can try:
+
+  1) echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 ID 1" > /proc/scsi/scsi
+     (replace ID with the SCSI-ID of the device)
+  2) boot the kernel with "max_scsi_luns=1" on the command line
+     (append="max_scsi_luns=1" in lilo.conf should do the trick)
+
+
+Trouble?
+--------
+
+If you insmod the driver with "insmod debug=1", it will be verbose and
+prints a lot of stuff to the syslog.  Compiling the kernel with
+CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y improves the quality of the error messages a lot
+because the kernel will translate the error codes into human-readable
+strings then.
+
+You can display these messages with the dmesg command (or check the
+logfiles).  If you email me some question because of a problem with the
+driver, please include these messages.
+
+
+Insmod options
+--------------
+
+debug=0/1
+	Enable debug messages (see above, default: 0).
+
+verbose=0/1
+	Be verbose (default: 1).
+
+init=0/1
+	Send INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command to the changer
+	at insmod time (default: 1).
+
+timeout_init=<seconds>
+	timeout for the INITIALIZE ELEMENT STATUS command
+	(default: 3600).
+
+timeout_move=<seconds>
+	timeout for all other commands (default: 120).
+
+dt_id=<id1>,<id2>,... / dt_lun=<lun1>,<lun2>,...
+	These two allow to specify the SCSI ID and LUN for the data
+	transfer elements.  You likely don't need this as the jukebox
+	should provide this information.  But some devices don't ...
+
+vendor_firsts=, vendor_counts=, vendor_labels=
+	These insmod options can be used to tell the driver that there
+	are some vendor-specific element types.  Grundig for example
+	does this.  Some jukeboxes have a printer to label fresh burned
+	CDs, which is addressed as element 0xc000 (type 5).  To tell the
+	driver about this vendor-specific element, use this::
+
+		$ insmod ch			\
+			vendor_firsts=0xc000	\
+			vendor_counts=1		\
+			vendor_labels=printer
+
+	All three insmod options accept up to four comma-separated
+	values, this way you can configure the element types 5-8.
+	You likely need the SCSI specs for the device in question to
+	find the correct values as they are not covered by the SCSI-2
+	standard.

+Notes on Linux SCSI Generic (sg) driver
+=======================================
+
+                                                        20020126
+
+Introduction
+============
+The SCSI Generic driver (sg) is one of the four "high level" SCSI device
+drivers along with sd, st and sr (disk, tape and CDROM respectively). Sg
+is more generalized (but lower level) than its siblings and tends to be
+used on SCSI devices that don't fit into the already serviced categories.
+Thus sg is used for scanners, CD writers and reading audio CDs digitally
+amongst other things.
+
+Rather than document the driver's interface here, version information
+is provided plus pointers (i.e. URLs) where to find documentation
+and examples.
+
+
+Major versions of the sg driver
+===============================
+There are three major versions of sg found in the linux kernel (lk):
+      - sg version 1 (original) from 1992 to early 1999 (lk 2.2.5) .
+	It is based in the sg_header interface structure.
+      - sg version 2 from lk 2.2.6 in the 2.2 series. It is based on
+	an extended version of the sg_header interface structure.
+      - sg version 3 found in the lk 2.4 series (and the lk 2.5 series).
+	It adds the sg_io_hdr interface structure.
+
+
+Sg driver documentation
+=======================
+The most recent documentation of the sg driver is kept at the Linux
+Documentation Project's (LDP) site:
+
+- http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-Generic-HOWTO
+
+This describes the sg version 3 driver found in the lk 2.4 series.
+
+The LDP renders documents in single and multiple page HTML, postscript
+and pdf. This document can also be found at:
+
+- http://sg.danny.cz/sg/p/sg_v3_ho.html
+
+Documentation for the version 2 sg driver found in the lk 2.2 series can
+be found at http://sg.danny.cz/sg/. A larger version
+is at: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/p/scsi-generic_long.txt.
+
+The original documentation for the sg driver (prior to lk 2.2.6) can be
+found at http://www.torque.net/sg/p/original/SCSI-Programming-HOWTO.txt
+and in the LDP archives.
+
+A changelog with brief notes can be found in the
+/usr/src/linux/include/scsi/sg.h file. Note that the glibc maintainers copy
+and edit this file (removing its changelog for example) before placing it
+in /usr/include/scsi/sg.h . Driver debugging information and other notes
+can be found at the top of the /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/sg.c file.
+
+A more general description of the Linux SCSI subsystem of which sg is a
+part can be found at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO .
+
+
+Example code and utilities
+==========================
+There are two packages of sg utilities:
+
+    =========   ==========================================================
+    sg3_utils   for the sg version 3 driver found in lk 2.4
+    sg_utils    for the sg version 2 (and original) driver found in lk 2.2
+                and earlier
+    =========   ==========================================================
+
+Both packages will work in the lk 2.4 series however sg3_utils offers more
+capabilities. They can be found at: http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html and
+freecode.com
+
+Another approach is to look at the applications that use the sg driver.
+These include cdrecord, cdparanoia, SANE and cdrdao.
+
+
+Mapping of Linux kernel versions to sg driver versions
+======================================================
+Here is a list of linux kernels in the 2.4 series that had new version
+of the sg driver:
+
+     - lk 2.4.0 : sg version 3.1.17
+     - lk 2.4.7 : sg version 3.1.19
+     - lk 2.4.10 : sg version 3.1.20 [#]_
+     - lk 2.4.17 : sg version 3.1.22
+
+.. [#] There were 3 changes to sg version 3.1.20 by third parties in the
+       next six linux kernel versions.
+
+For reference here is a list of linux kernels in the 2.2 series that had
+new version of the sg driver:
+
+     - lk 2.2.0 : original sg version [with no version number]
+     - lk 2.2.6 : sg version 2.1.31
+     - lk 2.2.8 : sg version 2.1.32
+     - lk 2.2.10 : sg version 2.1.34 [SG_GET_VERSION_NUM ioctl first appeared]
+     - lk 2.2.14 : sg version 2.1.36
+     - lk 2.2.16 : sg version 2.1.38
+     - lk 2.2.17 : sg version 2.1.39
+     - lk 2.2.20 : sg version 2.1.40
+
+The lk 2.5 development series has recently commenced and it currently
+contains sg version 3.5.23 which is functionally equivalent to sg
+version 3.1.22 found in lk 2.4.17.

+SCSI subsystem documentation
+============================
+
+The Linux Documentation Project (LDP) maintains a document describing
+the SCSI subsystem in the Linux kernel (lk) 2.4 series. See:
+http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO . The LDP has single
+and multiple page HTML renderings as well as postscript and pdf.
+It can also be found at:
+http://web.archive.org/web/%2E/http://www.torque.net/scsi/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO
+
+Notes on using modules in the SCSI subsystem
+============================================
+The scsi support in the linux kernel can be modularized in a number of
+different ways depending upon the needs of the end user.  To understand
+your options, we should first define a few terms.
+
+The scsi-core (also known as the "mid level") contains the core of scsi
+support.  Without it you can do nothing with any of the other scsi drivers.
+The scsi core support can be a module (scsi_mod.o), or it can be built into
+the kernel. If the core is a module, it must be the first scsi module
+loaded, and if you unload the modules, it will have to be the last one
+unloaded.  In practice the modprobe and rmmod commands (and "autoclean")
+will enforce the correct ordering of loading and unloading modules in
+the SCSI subsystem.
+
+The individual upper and lower level drivers can be loaded in any order
+once the scsi core is present in the kernel (either compiled in or loaded
+as a module).  The disk driver (sd_mod.o), cdrom driver (sr_mod.o),
+tape driver [1]_ (st.o) and scsi generics driver (sg.o) represent the upper
+level drivers to support the various assorted devices which can be
+controlled.  You can for example load the tape driver to use the tape drive,
+and then unload it once you have no further need for the driver (and release
+the associated memory).
+
+The lower level drivers are the ones that support the individual cards that
+are supported for the hardware platform that you are running under. Those
+individual cards are often called Host Bus Adapters (HBAs). For example the
+aic7xxx.o driver is used to control all recent SCSI controller cards from
+Adaptec. Almost all lower level drivers can be built either as modules or
+built into the kernel.
+
+.. [1] There is a variant of the st driver for controlling OnStream tape
+       devices. Its module name is osst.o .

+
+1. How SCSI commands travel through the midlayer and to EH
+==========================================================
+
+1.1 struct scsi_cmnd
+--------------------
+
+Each SCSI command is represented with struct scsi_cmnd (== scmd).  A
+scmd has two list_head's to link itself into lists.  The two are
+scmd->list and scmd->eh_entry.  The former is used for free list or
+per-device allocated scmd list and not of much interest to this EH
+discussion.  The latter is used for completion and EH lists and unless
+otherwise stated scmds are always linked using scmd->eh_entry in this
+discussion.
+
+
+1.2 How do scmd's get completed?
+--------------------------------
+
+Once LLDD gets hold of a scmd, either the LLDD will complete the
+command by calling scsi_done callback passed from midlayer when
+invoking hostt->queuecommand() or the block layer will time it out.
+
+
+1.2.1 Completing a scmd w/ scsi_done
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+For all non-EH commands, scsi_done() is the completion callback.  It
+just calls blk_complete_request() to delete the block layer timer and
+raise SCSI_SOFTIRQ
+
+SCSI_SOFTIRQ handler scsi_softirq calls scsi_decide_disposition() to
+determine what to do with the command.  scsi_decide_disposition()
+looks at the scmd->result value and sense data to determine what to do
+with the command.
+
+ - SUCCESS
+
+	scsi_finish_command() is invoked for the command.  The
+	function does some maintenance chores and then calls
+	scsi_io_completion() to finish the I/O.
+	scsi_io_completion() then notifies the block layer on
+	the completed request by calling blk_end_request and
+	friends or figures out what to do with the remainder
+	of the data in case of an error.
+
+ - NEEDS_RETRY
+
+ - ADD_TO_MLQUEUE
+
+	scmd is requeued to blk queue.
+
+ - otherwise
+
+	scsi_eh_scmd_add(scmd) is invoked for the command.  See
+	[1-3] for details of this function.
+
+
+1.2.2 Completing a scmd w/ timeout
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The timeout handler is scsi_times_out().  When a timeout occurs, this
+function
+
+ 1. invokes optional hostt->eh_timed_out() callback.  Return value can
+    be one of
+
+    - BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER
+	This indicates that more time is required to finish the
+	command.  Timer is restarted.  This action is counted as a
+	retry and only allowed scmd->allowed + 1(!) times.  Once the
+	limit is reached, action for BLK_EH_DONE is taken instead.
+
+    - BLK_EH_DONE
+        eh_timed_out() callback did not handle the command.
+	Step #2 is taken.
+
+ 2. scsi_abort_command() is invoked to schedule an asynchrous abort.
+    Asynchronous abort are not invoked for commands which the
+    SCSI_EH_ABORT_SCHEDULED flag is set (this indicates that the command
+    already had been aborted once, and this is a retry which failed),
+    or when the EH deadline is expired. In these case Step #3 is taken.
+
+ 3. scsi_eh_scmd_add(scmd, SCSI_EH_CANCEL_CMD) is invoked for the
+    command.  See [1-4] for more information.
+
+1.3 Asynchronous command aborts
+-------------------------------
+
+ After a timeout occurs a command abort is scheduled from
+ scsi_abort_command(). If the abort is successful the command
+ will either be retried (if the number of retries is not exhausted)
+ or terminated with DID_TIME_OUT.
+
+ Otherwise scsi_eh_scmd_add() is invoked for the command.
+ See [1-4] for more information.
+
+1.4 How EH takes over
+---------------------
+
+scmds enter EH via scsi_eh_scmd_add(), which does the following.
+
+ 1. Links scmd->eh_entry to shost->eh_cmd_q
+
+ 2. Sets SHOST_RECOVERY bit in shost->shost_state
+
+ 3. Increments shost->host_failed
+
+ 4. Wakes up SCSI EH thread if shost->host_busy == shost->host_failed
+
+As can be seen above, once any scmd is added to shost->eh_cmd_q,
+SHOST_RECOVERY shost_state bit is turned on.  This prevents any new
+scmd to be issued from blk queue to the host; eventually, all scmds on
+the host either complete normally, fail and get added to eh_cmd_q, or
+time out and get added to shost->eh_cmd_q.
+
+If all scmds either complete or fail, the number of in-flight scmds
+becomes equal to the number of failed scmds - i.e. shost->host_busy ==
+shost->host_failed.  This wakes up SCSI EH thread.  So, once woken up,
+SCSI EH thread can expect that all in-flight commands have failed and
+are linked on shost->eh_cmd_q.
+
+Note that this does not mean lower layers are quiescent.  If a LLDD
+completed a scmd with error status, the LLDD and lower layers are
+assumed to forget about the scmd at that point.  However, if a scmd
+has timed out, unless hostt->eh_timed_out() made lower layers forget
+about the scmd, which currently no LLDD does, the command is still
+active as long as lower layers are concerned and completion could
+occur at any time.  Of course, all such completions are ignored as the
+timer has already expired.
+
+We'll talk about how SCSI EH takes actions to abort - make LLDD
+forget about - timed out scmds later.
+
+
+2. How SCSI EH works
+====================
+
+LLDD's can implement SCSI EH actions in one of the following two
+ways.
+
+ - Fine-grained EH callbacks
+	LLDD can implement fine-grained EH callbacks and let SCSI
+	midlayer drive error handling and call appropriate callbacks.
+	This will be discussed further in [2-1].
+
+ - eh_strategy_handler() callback
+	This is one big callback which should perform whole error
+	handling.  As such, it should do all chores the SCSI midlayer
+	performs during recovery.  This will be discussed in [2-2].
+
+Once recovery is complete, SCSI EH resumes normal operation by
+calling scsi_restart_operations(), which
+
+ 1. Checks if door locking is needed and locks door.
+
+ 2. Clears SHOST_RECOVERY shost_state bit
+
+ 3. Wakes up waiters on shost->host_wait.  This occurs if someone
+    calls scsi_block_when_processing_errors() on the host.
+    (*QUESTION* why is it needed?  All operations will be blocked
+    anyway after it reaches blk queue.)
+
+ 4. Kicks queues in all devices on the host in the asses
+
+
+2.1 EH through fine-grained callbacks
+-------------------------------------
+
+2.1.1 Overview
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If eh_strategy_handler() is not present, SCSI midlayer takes charge
+of driving error handling.  EH's goals are two - make LLDD, host and
+device forget about timed out scmds and make them ready for new
+commands.  A scmd is said to be recovered if the scmd is forgotten by
+lower layers and lower layers are ready to process or fail the scmd
+again.
+
+To achieve these goals, EH performs recovery actions with increasing
+severity.  Some actions are performed by issuing SCSI commands and
+others are performed by invoking one of the following fine-grained
+hostt EH callbacks.  Callbacks may be omitted and omitted ones are
+considered to fail always.
+
+::
+
+    int (* eh_abort_handler)(struct scsi_cmnd *);
+    int (* eh_device_reset_handler)(struct scsi_cmnd *);
+    int (* eh_bus_reset_handler)(struct scsi_cmnd *);
+    int (* eh_host_reset_handler)(struct scsi_cmnd *);
+
+Higher-severity actions are taken only when lower-severity actions
+cannot recover some of failed scmds.  Also, note that failure of the
+highest-severity action means EH failure and results in offlining of
+all unrecovered devices.
+
+During recovery, the following rules are followed
+
+ - Recovery actions are performed on failed scmds on the to do list,
+   eh_work_q.  If a recovery action succeeds for a scmd, recovered
+   scmds are removed from eh_work_q.
+
+   Note that single recovery action on a scmd can recover multiple
+   scmds.  e.g. resetting a device recovers all failed scmds on the
+   device.
+
+ - Higher severity actions are taken iff eh_work_q is not empty after
+   lower severity actions are complete.
+
+ - EH reuses failed scmds to issue commands for recovery.  For
+   timed-out scmds, SCSI EH ensures that LLDD forgets about a scmd
+   before reusing it for EH commands.
+
+When a scmd is recovered, the scmd is moved from eh_work_q to EH
+local eh_done_q using scsi_eh_finish_cmd().  After all scmds are
+recovered (eh_work_q is empty), scsi_eh_flush_done_q() is invoked to
+either retry or error-finish (notify upper layer of failure) recovered
+scmds.
+
+scmds are retried iff its sdev is still online (not offlined during
+EH), REQ_FAILFAST is not set and ++scmd->retries is less than
+scmd->allowed.
+
+
+2.1.2 Flow of scmds through EH
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ 1. Error completion / time out
+
+    :ACTION: scsi_eh_scmd_add() is invoked for scmd
+
+	- add scmd to shost->eh_cmd_q
+	- set SHOST_RECOVERY
+	- shost->host_failed++
+
+    :LOCKING: shost->host_lock
+
+ 2. EH starts
+
+    :ACTION: move all scmds to EH's local eh_work_q.  shost->eh_cmd_q
+	     is cleared.
+
+    :LOCKING: shost->host_lock (not strictly necessary, just for
+             consistency)
+
+ 3. scmd recovered
+
+    :ACTION: scsi_eh_finish_cmd() is invoked to EH-finish scmd
+
+	- scsi_setup_cmd_retry()
+	- move from local eh_work_q to local eh_done_q
+
+    :LOCKING: none
+
+    :CONCURRENCY: at most one thread per separate eh_work_q to
+		  keep queue manipulation lockless
+
+ 4. EH completes
+
+    :ACTION: scsi_eh_flush_done_q() retries scmds or notifies upper
+	     layer of failure. May be called concurrently but must have
+	     a no more than one thread per separate eh_work_q to
+	     manipulate the queue locklessly
+
+	     - scmd is removed from eh_done_q and scmd->eh_entry is cleared
+	     - if retry is necessary, scmd is requeued using
+	       scsi_queue_insert()
+	     - otherwise, scsi_finish_command() is invoked for scmd
+	     - zero shost->host_failed
+
+    :LOCKING: queue or finish function performs appropriate locking
+
+
+2.1.3 Flow of control
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ EH through fine-grained callbacks start from scsi_unjam_host().
+
+``scsi_unjam_host``
+
+    1. Lock shost->host_lock, splice_init shost->eh_cmd_q into local
+       eh_work_q and unlock host_lock.  Note that shost->eh_cmd_q is
+       cleared by this action.
+
+    2. Invoke scsi_eh_get_sense.
+
+    ``scsi_eh_get_sense``
+
+	This action is taken for each error-completed
+	(!SCSI_EH_CANCEL_CMD) commands without valid sense data.  Most
+	SCSI transports/LLDDs automatically acquire sense data on
+	command failures (autosense).  Autosense is recommended for
+	performance reasons and as sense information could get out of
+	sync between occurrence of CHECK CONDITION and this action.
+
+	Note that if autosense is not supported, scmd->sense_buffer
+	contains invalid sense data when error-completing the scmd
+	with scsi_done().  scsi_decide_disposition() always returns
+	FAILED in such cases thus invoking SCSI EH.  When the scmd
+	reaches here, sense data is acquired and
+	scsi_decide_disposition() is called again.
+
+	1. Invoke scsi_request_sense() which issues REQUEST_SENSE
+           command.  If fails, no action.  Note that taking no action
+           causes higher-severity recovery to be taken for the scmd.
+
+	2. Invoke scsi_decide_disposition() on the scmd
+
+	   - SUCCESS
+		scmd->retries is set to scmd->allowed preventing
+		scsi_eh_flush_done_q() from retrying the scmd and
+		scsi_eh_finish_cmd() is invoked.
+
+	   - NEEDS_RETRY
+		scsi_eh_finish_cmd() invoked
+
+	   - otherwise
+		No action.
+
+    3. If !list_empty(&eh_work_q), invoke scsi_eh_abort_cmds().
+
+    ``scsi_eh_abort_cmds``
+
+	This action is taken for each timed out command when
+	no_async_abort is enabled in the host template.
+	hostt->eh_abort_handler() is invoked for each scmd.  The
+	handler returns SUCCESS if it has succeeded to make LLDD and
+	all related hardware forget about the scmd.
+
+	If a timedout scmd is successfully aborted and the sdev is
+	either offline or ready, scsi_eh_finish_cmd() is invoked for
+	the scmd.  Otherwise, the scmd is left in eh_work_q for
+	higher-severity actions.
+
+	Note that both offline and ready status mean that the sdev is
+	ready to process new scmds, where processing also implies
+	immediate failing; thus, if a sdev is in one of the two
+	states, no further recovery action is needed.
+
+	Device readiness is tested using scsi_eh_tur() which issues
+	TEST_UNIT_READY command.  Note that the scmd must have been
+	aborted successfully before reusing it for TEST_UNIT_READY.
+
+    4. If !list_empty(&eh_work_q), invoke scsi_eh_ready_devs()
+
+    ``scsi_eh_ready_devs``
+
+	This function takes four increasingly more severe measures to
+	make failed sdevs ready for new commands.
+
+	1. Invoke scsi_eh_stu()
+
+	``scsi_eh_stu``
+
+	    For each sdev which has failed scmds with valid sense data
+	    of which scsi_check_sense()'s verdict is FAILED,
+	    START_STOP_UNIT command is issued w/ start=1.  Note that
+	    as we explicitly choose error-completed scmds, it is known
+	    that lower layers have forgotten about the scmd and we can
+	    reuse it for STU.
+
+	    If STU succeeds and the sdev is either offline or ready,
+	    all failed scmds on the sdev are EH-finished with
+	    scsi_eh_finish_cmd().
+
+	    *NOTE* If hostt->eh_abort_handler() isn't implemented or
+	    failed, we may still have timed out scmds at this point
+	    and STU doesn't make lower layers forget about those
+	    scmds.  Yet, this function EH-finish all scmds on the sdev
+	    if STU succeeds leaving lower layers in an inconsistent
+	    state.  It seems that STU action should be taken only when
+	    a sdev has no timed out scmd.
+
+	2. If !list_empty(&eh_work_q), invoke scsi_eh_bus_device_reset().
+
+	``scsi_eh_bus_device_reset``
+
+	    This action is very similar to scsi_eh_stu() except that,
+	    instead of issuing STU, hostt->eh_device_reset_handler()
+	    is used.  Also, as we're not issuing SCSI commands and
+	    resetting clears all scmds on the sdev, there is no need
+	    to choose error-completed scmds.
+
+	3. If !list_empty(&eh_work_q), invoke scsi_eh_bus_reset()
+
+	``scsi_eh_bus_reset``
+
+	    hostt->eh_bus_reset_handler() is invoked for each channel
+	    with failed scmds.  If bus reset succeeds, all failed
+	    scmds on all ready or offline sdevs on the channel are
+	    EH-finished.
+
+	4. If !list_empty(&eh_work_q), invoke scsi_eh_host_reset()
+
+	``scsi_eh_host_reset``
+
+	    This is the last resort.  hostt->eh_host_reset_handler()
+	    is invoked.  If host reset succeeds, all failed scmds on
+	    all ready or offline sdevs on the host are EH-finished.
+
+	5. If !list_empty(&eh_work_q), invoke scsi_eh_offline_sdevs()
+
+	``scsi_eh_offline_sdevs``
+
+	    Take all sdevs which still have unrecovered scmds offline
+	    and EH-finish the scmds.
+
+    5. Invoke scsi_eh_flush_done_q().
+
+	``scsi_eh_flush_done_q``
+
+	    At this point all scmds are recovered (or given up) and
+	    put on eh_done_q by scsi_eh_finish_cmd().  This function
+	    flushes eh_done_q by either retrying or notifying upper
+	    layer of failure of the scmds.
+
+
+2.2 EH through transportt->eh_strategy_handler()
+------------------------------------------------
+
+transportt->eh_strategy_handler() is invoked in the place of
+scsi_unjam_host() and it is responsible for whole recovery process.
+On completion, the handler should have made lower layers forget about
+all failed scmds and either ready for new commands or offline.  Also,
+it should perform SCSI EH maintenance chores to maintain integrity of
+SCSI midlayer.  IOW, of the steps described in [2-1-2], all steps
+except for #1 must be implemented by eh_strategy_handler().
+
+
+2.2.1 Pre transportt->eh_strategy_handler() SCSI midlayer conditions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The following conditions are true on entry to the handler.
+
+ - Each failed scmd's eh_flags field is set appropriately.
+
+ - Each failed scmd is linked on scmd->eh_cmd_q by scmd->eh_entry.
+
+ - SHOST_RECOVERY is set.
+
+ - shost->host_failed == shost->host_busy
+
+
+2.2.2 Post transportt->eh_strategy_handler() SCSI midlayer conditions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The following conditions must be true on exit from the handler.
+
+ - shost->host_failed is zero.
+
+ - Each scmd is in such a state that scsi_setup_cmd_retry() on the
+   scmd doesn't make any difference.
+
+ - shost->eh_cmd_q is cleared.
+
+ - Each scmd->eh_entry is cleared.
+
+ - Either scsi_queue_insert() or scsi_finish_command() is called on
+   each scmd.  Note that the handler is free to use scmd->retries and
+   ->allowed to limit the number of retries.
+
+
+2.2.3 Things to consider
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ - Know that timed out scmds are still active on lower layers.  Make
+   lower layers forget about them before doing anything else with
+   those scmds.
+
+ - For consistency, when accessing/modifying shost data structure,
+   grab shost->host_lock.
+
+ - On completion, each failed sdev must have forgotten about all
+   active scmds.
+
+ - On completion, each failed sdev must be ready for new commands or
+   offline.

+FC Remote Ports (rports)
+========================
+<< To Be Supplied >>
+
+
+FC Virtual Ports (vports)
+=========================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+  New FC standards have defined mechanisms which allows for a single physical
+  port to appear on as multiple communication ports. Using the N_Port Id
+  Virtualization (NPIV) mechanism, a point-to-point connection to a Fabric
+  can be assigned more than 1 N_Port_ID.  Each N_Port_ID appears as a
+  separate port to other endpoints on the fabric, even though it shares one
+  physical link to the switch for communication. Each N_Port_ID can have a
+  unique view of the fabric based on fabric zoning and array lun-masking
+  (just like a normal non-NPIV adapter).  Using the Virtual Fabric (VF)
+  mechanism, adding a fabric header to each frame allows the port to
+  interact with the Fabric Port to join multiple fabrics. The port will
+  obtain an N_Port_ID on each fabric it joins. Each fabric will have its
+  own unique view of endpoints and configuration parameters.  NPIV may be
+  used together with VF so that the port can obtain multiple N_Port_IDs
+  on each virtual fabric.
+
+  The FC transport is now recognizing a new object - a vport.  A vport is
+  an entity that has a world-wide unique World Wide Port Name (wwpn) and
+  World Wide Node Name (wwnn). The transport also allows for the FC4's to
+  be specified for the vport, with FCP_Initiator being the primary role
+  expected. Once instantiated by one of the above methods, it will have a
+  distinct N_Port_ID and view of fabric endpoints and storage entities.
+  The fc_host associated with the physical adapter will export the ability
+  to create vports. The transport will create the vport object within the
+  Linux device tree, and instruct the fc_host's driver to instantiate the
+  virtual port. Typically, the driver will create a new scsi_host instance
+  on the vport, resulting in a unique <H,C,T,L> namespace for the vport.
+  Thus, whether a FC port is based on a physical port or on a virtual port,
+  each will appear as a unique scsi_host with its own target and lun space.
+
+  .. Note::
+    At this time, the transport is written to create only NPIV-based
+    vports. However, consideration was given to VF-based vports and it
+    should be a minor change to add support if needed.  The remaining
+    discussion will concentrate on NPIV.
+
+  .. Note::
+    World Wide Name assignment (and uniqueness guarantees) are left
+    up to an administrative entity controlling the vport. For example,
+    if vports are to be associated with virtual machines, a XEN mgmt
+    utility would be responsible for creating wwpn/wwnn's for the vport,
+    using its own naming authority and OUI. (Note: it already does this
+    for virtual MAC addresses).
+
+
+Device Trees and Vport Objects:
+-------------------------------
+
+  Today, the device tree typically contains the scsi_host object,
+  with rports and scsi target objects underneath it. Currently the FC
+  transport creates the vport object and places it under the scsi_host
+  object corresponding to the physical adapter.  The LLDD will allocate
+  a new scsi_host for the vport and link its object under the vport.
+  The remainder of the tree under the vports scsi_host is the same
+  as the non-NPIV case. The transport is written currently to easily
+  allow the parent of the vport to be something other than the scsi_host.
+  This could be used in the future to link the object onto a vm-specific
+  device tree. If the vport's parent is not the physical port's scsi_host,
+  a symbolic link to the vport object will be placed in the physical
+  port's scsi_host.
+
+  Here's what to expect in the device tree :
+
+   The typical Physical Port's Scsi_Host::
+
+     /sys/devices/.../host17/
+
+   and it has the typical descendant tree::
+
+     /sys/devices/.../host17/rport-17:0-0/target17:0:0/17:0:0:0:
+
+   and then the vport is created on the Physical Port::
+
+     /sys/devices/.../host17/vport-17:0-0
+
+   and the vport's Scsi_Host is then created::
+
+     /sys/devices/.../host17/vport-17:0-0/host18
+
+   and then the rest of the tree progresses, such as::
+
+     /sys/devices/.../host17/vport-17:0-0/host18/rport-18:0-0/target18:0:0/18:0:0:0:
+
+  Here's what to expect in the sysfs tree::
+
+   scsi_hosts:
+     /sys/class/scsi_host/host17                physical port's scsi_host
+     /sys/class/scsi_host/host18                vport's scsi_host
+   fc_hosts:
+     /sys/class/fc_host/host17                  physical port's fc_host
+     /sys/class/fc_host/host18                  vport's fc_host
+   fc_vports:
+     /sys/class/fc_vports/vport-17:0-0          the vport's fc_vport
+   fc_rports:
+     /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-17:0-0    rport on the physical port
+     /sys/class/fc_remote_ports/rport-18:0-0    rport on the vport
+
+
+Vport Attributes
+----------------
+
+  The new fc_vport class object has the following attributes
+
+     node_name:                                                 Read_Only
+       The WWNN of the vport
+
+     port_name:                                                 Read_Only
+       The WWPN of the vport
+
+     roles:                                                     Read_Only
+       Indicates the FC4 roles enabled on the vport.
+
+     symbolic_name:                                             Read_Write
+       A string, appended to the driver's symbolic port name string, which
+       is registered with the switch to identify the vport. For example,
+       a hypervisor could set this string to "Xen Domain 2 VM 5 Vport 2",
+       and this set of identifiers can be seen on switch management screens
+       to identify the port.
+
+     vport_delete:                                              Write_Only
+       When written with a "1", will tear down the vport.
+
+     vport_disable:                                             Write_Only
+       When written with a "1", will transition the vport to a disabled.
+       state.  The vport will still be instantiated with the Linux kernel,
+       but it will not be active on the FC link.
+       When written with a "0", will enable the vport.
+
+     vport_last_state:                                          Read_Only
+       Indicates the previous state of the vport.  See the section below on
+       "Vport States".
+
+     vport_state:                                               Read_Only
+       Indicates the state of the vport.  See the section below on
+       "Vport States".
+
+     vport_type:                                                Read_Only
+       Reflects the FC mechanism used to create the virtual port.
+       Only NPIV is supported currently.
+
+
+  For the fc_host class object, the following attributes are added for vports:
+
+     max_npiv_vports:                                           Read_Only
+       Indicates the maximum number of NPIV-based vports that the
+       driver/adapter can support on the fc_host.
+
+     npiv_vports_inuse:                                         Read_Only
+       Indicates how many NPIV-based vports have been instantiated on the
+       fc_host.
+
+     vport_create:                                              Write_Only
+       A "simple" create interface to instantiate a vport on an fc_host.
+       A "<WWPN>:<WWNN>" string is written to the attribute. The transport
+       then instantiates the vport object and calls the LLDD to create the
+       vport with the role of FCP_Initiator.  Each WWN is specified as 16
+       hex characters and may *not* contain any prefixes (e.g. 0x, x, etc).
+
+     vport_delete:                                              Write_Only
+        A "simple" delete interface to teardown a vport. A "<WWPN>:<WWNN>"
+        string is written to the attribute. The transport will locate the
+        vport on the fc_host with the same WWNs and tear it down.  Each WWN
+        is specified as 16 hex characters and may *not* contain any prefixes
+        (e.g. 0x, x, etc).
+
+
+Vport States
+------------
+
+  Vport instantiation consists of two parts:
+
+    - Creation with the kernel and LLDD. This means all transport and
+      driver data structures are built up, and device objects created.
+      This is equivalent to a driver "attach" on an adapter, which is
+      independent of the adapter's link state.
+    - Instantiation of the vport on the FC link via ELS traffic, etc.
+      This is equivalent to a "link up" and successful link initialization.
+
+  Further information can be found in the interfaces section below for
+  Vport Creation.
+
+  Once a vport has been instantiated with the kernel/LLDD, a vport state
+  can be reported via the sysfs attribute. The following states exist:
+
+    FC_VPORT_UNKNOWN            - Unknown
+      An temporary state, typically set only while the vport is being
+      instantiated with the kernel and LLDD.
+
+    FC_VPORT_ACTIVE             - Active
+      The vport has been successfully been created on the FC link.
+      It is fully functional.
+
+    FC_VPORT_DISABLED           - Disabled
+      The vport instantiated, but "disabled". The vport is not instantiated
+      on the FC link. This is equivalent to a physical port with the
+      link "down".
+
+    FC_VPORT_LINKDOWN           - Linkdown
+      The vport is not operational as the physical link is not operational.
+
+    FC_VPORT_INITIALIZING       - Initializing
+      The vport is in the process of instantiating on the FC link.
+      The LLDD will set this state just prior to starting the ELS traffic
+      to create the vport. This state will persist until the vport is
+      successfully created (state becomes FC_VPORT_ACTIVE) or it fails
+      (state is one of the values below).  As this state is transitory,
+      it will not be preserved in the "vport_last_state".
+
+    FC_VPORT_NO_FABRIC_SUPP     - No Fabric Support
+      The vport is not operational. One of the following conditions were
+      encountered:
+
+       - The FC topology is not Point-to-Point
+       - The FC port is not connected to an F_Port
+       - The F_Port has indicated that NPIV is not supported.
+
+    FC_VPORT_NO_FABRIC_RSCS     - No Fabric Resources
+      The vport is not operational. The Fabric failed FDISC with a status
+      indicating that it does not have sufficient resources to complete
+      the operation.
+
+    FC_VPORT_FABRIC_LOGOUT      - Fabric Logout
+      The vport is not operational. The Fabric has LOGO'd the N_Port_ID
+      associated with the vport.
+
+    FC_VPORT_FABRIC_REJ_WWN     - Fabric Rejected WWN
+      The vport is not operational. The Fabric failed FDISC with a status
+      indicating that the WWN's are not valid.
+
+    FC_VPORT_FAILED             - VPort Failed
+      The vport is not operational. This is a catchall for all other
+      error conditions.
+
+
+  The following state table indicates the different state transitions:

+The following 4 error states all have the same transitions::

+                        Link goes down                  Linkdown
+
+
+Transport <-> LLDD Interfaces
+-----------------------------
+
+Vport support by LLDD:
+
+  The LLDD indicates support for vports by supplying a vport_create()
+  function in the transport template.  The presence of this function will
+  cause the creation of the new attributes on the fc_host.  As part of
+  the physical port completing its initialization relative to the
+  transport, it should set the max_npiv_vports attribute to indicate the
+  maximum number of vports the driver and/or adapter supports.
+
+
+Vport Creation:
+
+  The LLDD vport_create() syntax is::
+
+      int vport_create(struct fc_vport *vport, bool disable)
+
+  where:
+
+      =======   ===========================================================
+      vport     Is the newly allocated vport object
+      disable   If "true", the vport is to be created in a disabled stated.
+                If "false", the vport is to be enabled upon creation.
+      =======   ===========================================================
+
+  When a request is made to create a new vport (via sgio/netlink, or the
+  vport_create fc_host attribute), the transport will validate that the LLDD
+  can support another vport (e.g. max_npiv_vports > npiv_vports_inuse).
+  If not, the create request will be failed.  If space remains, the transport
+  will increment the vport count, create the vport object, and then call the
+  LLDD's vport_create() function with the newly allocated vport object.
+
+  As mentioned above, vport creation is divided into two parts:
+
+    - Creation with the kernel and LLDD. This means all transport and
+      driver data structures are built up, and device objects created.
+      This is equivalent to a driver "attach" on an adapter, which is
+      independent of the adapter's link state.
+    - Instantiation of the vport on the FC link via ELS traffic, etc.
+      This is equivalent to a "link up" and successful link initialization.
+
+  The LLDD's vport_create() function will not synchronously wait for both
+  parts to be fully completed before returning. It must validate that the
+  infrastructure exists to support NPIV, and complete the first part of
+  vport creation (data structure build up) before returning.  We do not
+  hinge vport_create() on the link-side operation mainly because:
+
+    - The link may be down. It is not a failure if it is. It simply
+      means the vport is in an inoperable state until the link comes up.
+      This is consistent with the link bouncing post vport creation.
+    - The vport may be created in a disabled state.
+    - This is consistent with a model where:  the vport equates to a
+      FC adapter. The vport_create is synonymous with driver attachment
+      to the adapter, which is independent of link state.
+
+  .. Note::
+
+      special error codes have been defined to delineate infrastructure
+      failure cases for quicker resolution.
+
+  The expected behavior for the LLDD's vport_create() function is:
+
+    - Validate Infrastructure:
+
+        - If the driver or adapter cannot support another vport, whether
+            due to improper firmware, (a lie about) max_npiv, or a lack of
+            some other resource - return VPCERR_UNSUPPORTED.
+        - If the driver validates the WWN's against those already active on
+            the adapter and detects an overlap - return VPCERR_BAD_WWN.
+        - If the driver detects the topology is loop, non-fabric, or the
+            FLOGI did not support NPIV - return VPCERR_NO_FABRIC_SUPP.
+
+    - Allocate data structures. If errors are encountered, such as out
+        of memory conditions, return the respective negative Exxx error code.
+    - If the role is FCP Initiator, the LLDD is to :
+
+        - Call scsi_host_alloc() to allocate a scsi_host for the vport.
+        - Call scsi_add_host(new_shost, &vport->dev) to start the scsi_host
+          and bind it as a child of the vport device.
+        - Initializes the fc_host attribute values.
+
+    - Kick of further vport state transitions based on the disable flag and
+        link state - and return success (zero).
+
+  LLDD Implementers Notes:
+
+  - It is suggested that there be a different fc_function_templates for
+    the physical port and the virtual port.  The physical port's template
+    would have the vport_create, vport_delete, and vport_disable functions,
+    while the vports would not.
+  - It is suggested that there be different scsi_host_templates
+    for the physical port and virtual port. Likely, there are driver
+    attributes, embedded into the scsi_host_template, that are applicable
+    for the physical port only (link speed, topology setting, etc). This
+    ensures that the attributes are applicable to the respective scsi_host.
+
+
+Vport Disable/Enable:
+
+  The LLDD vport_disable() syntax is::
+
+      int vport_disable(struct fc_vport *vport, bool disable)
+
+  where:
+
+      =======   =======================================
+      vport     Is vport to be enabled or disabled
+      disable   If "true", the vport is to be disabled.
+                If "false", the vport is to be enabled.
+      =======   =======================================
+
+  When a request is made to change the disabled state on a vport, the
+  transport will validate the request against the existing vport state.
+  If the request is to disable and the vport is already disabled, the
+  request will fail. Similarly, if the request is to enable, and the
+  vport is not in a disabled state, the request will fail.  If the request
+  is valid for the vport state, the transport will call the LLDD to
+  change the vport's state.
+
+  Within the LLDD, if a vport is disabled, it remains instantiated with
+  the kernel and LLDD, but it is not active or visible on the FC link in
+  any way. (see Vport Creation and the 2 part instantiation discussion).
+  The vport will remain in this state until it is deleted or re-enabled.
+  When enabling a vport, the LLDD reinstantiates the vport on the FC
+  link - essentially restarting the LLDD statemachine (see Vport States
+  above).
+
+
+Vport Deletion:
+
+  The LLDD vport_delete() syntax is::
+
+      int vport_delete(struct fc_vport *vport)
+
+  where:
+
+      vport:    Is vport to delete
+
+  When a request is made to delete a vport (via sgio/netlink, or via the
+  fc_host or fc_vport vport_delete attributes), the transport will call
+  the LLDD to terminate the vport on the FC link, and teardown all other
+  datastructures and references.  If the LLDD completes successfully,
+  the transport will teardown the vport objects and complete the vport
+  removal.  If the LLDD delete request fails, the vport object will remain,
+  but will be in an indeterminate state.
+
+  Within the LLDD, the normal code paths for a scsi_host teardown should
+  be followed. E.g. If the vport has a FCP Initiator role, the LLDD
+  will call fc_remove_host() for the vports scsi_host, followed by
+  scsi_remove_host() and scsi_host_put() for the vports scsi_host.
+
+
+Other:
+  fc_host port_type attribute:
+    There is a new fc_host port_type value - FC_PORTTYPE_NPIV. This value
+    must be set on all vport-based fc_hosts.  Normally, on a physical port,
+    the port_type attribute would be set to NPORT, NLPORT, etc based on the
+    topology type and existence of the fabric. As this is not applicable to
+    a vport, it makes more sense to report the FC mechanism used to create
+    the vport.
+
+  Driver unload:
+    FC drivers are required to call fc_remove_host() prior to calling
+    scsi_remove_host().  This allows the fc_host to tear down all remote
+    ports prior the scsi_host being torn down.  The fc_remove_host() call
+    was updated to remove all vports for the fc_host as well.
+

+SCSI mid_level - lower_level driver interface
+=============================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+This document outlines the interface between the Linux SCSI mid level and
+SCSI lower level drivers. Lower level drivers (LLDs) are variously called
+host bus adapter (HBA) drivers and host drivers (HD). A "host" in this
+context is a bridge between a computer IO bus (e.g. PCI or ISA) and a
+single SCSI initiator port on a SCSI transport. An "initiator" port
+(SCSI terminology, see SAM-3 at http://www.t10.org) sends SCSI commands
+to "target" SCSI ports (e.g. disks). There can be many LLDs in a running
+system, but only one per hardware type. Most LLDs can control one or more
+SCSI HBAs. Some HBAs contain multiple hosts.
+
+In some cases the SCSI transport is an external bus that already has
+its own subsystem in Linux (e.g. USB and ieee1394). In such cases the
+SCSI subsystem LLD is a software bridge to the other driver subsystem.
+Examples are the usb-storage driver (found in the drivers/usb/storage
+directory) and the ieee1394/sbp2 driver (found in the drivers/ieee1394
+directory).
+
+For example, the aic7xxx LLD controls Adaptec SCSI parallel interface
+(SPI) controllers based on that company's 7xxx chip series. The aic7xxx
+LLD can be built into the kernel or loaded as a module. There can only be
+one aic7xxx LLD running in a Linux system but it may be controlling many
+HBAs. These HBAs might be either on PCI daughter-boards or built into
+the motherboard (or both). Some aic7xxx based HBAs are dual controllers
+and thus represent two hosts. Like most modern HBAs, each aic7xxx host
+has its own PCI device address. [The one-to-one correspondence between
+a SCSI host and a PCI device is common but not required (e.g. with
+ISA adapters).]
+
+The SCSI mid level isolates an LLD from other layers such as the SCSI
+upper layer drivers and the block layer.
+
+This version of the document roughly matches linux kernel version 2.6.8 .
+
+Documentation
+=============
+There is a SCSI documentation directory within the kernel source tree,
+typically Documentation/scsi . Most documents are in plain
+(i.e. ASCII) text. This file is named scsi_mid_low_api.txt and can be
+found in that directory. A more recent copy of this document may be found
+at http://web.archive.org/web/20070107183357rn_1/sg.torque.net/scsi/.
+Many LLDs are documented there (e.g. aic7xxx.txt). The SCSI mid-level is
+briefly described in scsi.txt which contains a url to a document
+describing the SCSI subsystem in the lk 2.4 series. Two upper level
+drivers have documents in that directory: st.txt (SCSI tape driver) and
+scsi-generic.txt (for the sg driver).
+
+Some documentation (or urls) for LLDs may be found in the C source code
+or in the same directory as the C source code. For example to find a url
+about the USB mass storage driver see the
+/usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/storage directory.
+
+Driver structure
+================
+Traditionally an LLD for the SCSI subsystem has been at least two files in
+the drivers/scsi directory. For example, a driver called "xyz" has a header
+file "xyz.h" and a source file "xyz.c". [Actually there is no good reason
+why this couldn't all be in one file; the header file is superfluous.] Some
+drivers that have been ported to several operating systems have more than
+two files. For example the aic7xxx driver has separate files for generic
+and OS-specific code (e.g. FreeBSD and Linux). Such drivers tend to have
+their own directory under the drivers/scsi directory.
+
+When a new LLD is being added to Linux, the following files (found in the
+drivers/scsi directory) will need some attention: Makefile and Kconfig .
+It is probably best to study how existing LLDs are organized.
+
+As the 2.5 series development kernels evolve into the 2.6 series
+production series, changes are being introduced into this interface. An
+example of this is driver initialization code where there are now 2 models
+available. The older one, similar to what was found in the lk 2.4 series,
+is based on hosts that are detected at HBA driver load time. This will be
+referred to the "passive" initialization model. The newer model allows HBAs
+to be hot plugged (and unplugged) during the lifetime of the LLD and will
+be referred to as the "hotplug" initialization model. The newer model is
+preferred as it can handle both traditional SCSI equipment that is
+permanently connected as well as modern "SCSI" devices (e.g. USB or
+IEEE 1394 connected digital cameras) that are hotplugged. Both
+initialization models are discussed in the following sections.
+
+An LLD interfaces to the SCSI subsystem several ways:
+
+  a) directly invoking functions supplied by the mid level
+  b) passing a set of function pointers to a registration function
+     supplied by the mid level. The mid level will then invoke these
+     functions at some point in the future. The LLD will supply
+     implementations of these functions.
+  c) direct access to instances of well known data structures maintained
+     by the mid level
+
+Those functions in group a) are listed in a section entitled "Mid level
+supplied functions" below.
+
+Those functions in group b) are listed in a section entitled "Interface
+functions" below. Their function pointers are placed in the members of
+"struct scsi_host_template", an instance of which is passed to
+scsi_host_alloc() [#]_.  Those interface functions that the LLD does not
+wish to supply should have NULL placed in the corresponding member of
+struct scsi_host_template.  Defining an instance of struct
+scsi_host_template at file scope will cause NULL to be  placed in function
+pointer members not explicitly initialized.
+
+Those usages in group c) should be handled with care, especially in a
+"hotplug" environment. LLDs should be aware of the lifetime of instances
+that are shared with the mid level and other layers.
+
+All functions defined within an LLD and all data defined at file scope
+should be static. For example the slave_alloc() function in an LLD
+called "xxx" could be defined as
+``static int xxx_slave_alloc(struct scsi_device * sdev) { /* code */ }``
+
+.. [#] the scsi_host_alloc() function is a replacement for the rather vaguely
+       named scsi_register() function in most situations.
+
+
+Hotplug initialization model
+============================
+In this model an LLD controls when SCSI hosts are introduced and removed
+from the SCSI subsystem. Hosts can be introduced as early as driver
+initialization and removed as late as driver shutdown. Typically a driver
+will respond to a sysfs probe() callback that indicates an HBA has been
+detected. After confirming that the new device is one that the LLD wants
+to control, the LLD will initialize the HBA and then register a new host
+with the SCSI mid level.
+
+During LLD initialization the driver should register itself with the
+appropriate IO bus on which it expects to find HBA(s) (e.g. the PCI bus).
+This can probably be done via sysfs. Any driver parameters (especially
+those that are writable after the driver is loaded) could also be
+registered with sysfs at this point. The SCSI mid level first becomes
+aware of an LLD when that LLD registers its first HBA.
+
+At some later time, the LLD becomes aware of an HBA and what follows
+is a typical sequence of calls between the LLD and the mid level.
+This example shows the mid level scanning the newly introduced HBA for 3
+scsi devices of which only the first 2 respond::
+
+	HBA PROBE: assume 2 SCSI devices found in scan
+    LLD                   mid level                    LLD
+    ===-------------------=========--------------------===------
+    scsi_host_alloc()  -->
+    scsi_add_host()  ---->
+    scsi_scan_host()  -------+
+			    |
+			slave_alloc()
+			slave_configure() -->  scsi_change_queue_depth()
+			    |
+			slave_alloc()
+			slave_configure()
+			    |
+			slave_alloc()   ***
+			slave_destroy() ***
+
+
+    *** For scsi devices that the mid level tries to scan but do not
+	respond, a slave_alloc(), slave_destroy() pair is called.
+
+If the LLD wants to adjust the default queue settings, it can invoke
+scsi_change_queue_depth() in its slave_configure() routine.
+
+When an HBA is being removed it could be as part of an orderly shutdown
+associated with the LLD module being unloaded (e.g. with the "rmmod"
+command) or in response to a "hot unplug" indicated by sysfs()'s
+remove() callback being invoked. In either case, the sequence is the
+same::
+
+	    HBA REMOVE: assume 2 SCSI devices attached
+    LLD                      mid level                 LLD
+    ===----------------------=========-----------------===------
+    scsi_remove_host() ---------+
+				|
+			slave_destroy()
+			slave_destroy()
+    scsi_host_put()
+
+It may be useful for a LLD to keep track of struct Scsi_Host instances
+(a pointer is returned by scsi_host_alloc()). Such instances are "owned"
+by the mid-level.  struct Scsi_Host instances are freed from
+scsi_host_put() when the reference count hits zero.
+
+Hot unplugging an HBA that controls a disk which is processing SCSI
+commands on a mounted file system is an interesting situation. Reference
+counting logic is being introduced into the mid level to cope with many
+of the issues involved. See the section on reference counting below.
+
+
+The hotplug concept may be extended to SCSI devices. Currently, when an
+HBA is added, the scsi_scan_host() function causes a scan for SCSI devices
+attached to the HBA's SCSI transport. On newer SCSI transports the HBA
+may become aware of a new SCSI device _after_ the scan has completed.
+An LLD can use this sequence to make the mid level aware of a SCSI device::
+
+		    SCSI DEVICE hotplug
+    LLD                   mid level                    LLD
+    ===-------------------=========--------------------===------
+    scsi_add_device()  ------+
+			    |
+			slave_alloc()
+			slave_configure()   [--> scsi_change_queue_depth()]
+
+In a similar fashion, an LLD may become aware that a SCSI device has been
+removed (unplugged) or the connection to it has been interrupted. Some
+existing SCSI transports (e.g. SPI) may not become aware that a SCSI
+device has been removed until a subsequent SCSI command fails which will
+probably cause that device to be set offline by the mid level. An LLD that
+detects the removal of a SCSI device can instigate its removal from
+upper layers with this sequence::
+
+		    SCSI DEVICE hot unplug
+    LLD                      mid level                 LLD
+    ===----------------------=========-----------------===------
+    scsi_remove_device() -------+
+				|
+			slave_destroy()
+
+It may be useful for an LLD to keep track of struct scsi_device instances
+(a pointer is passed as the parameter to slave_alloc() and
+slave_configure() callbacks). Such instances are "owned" by the mid-level.
+struct scsi_device instances are freed after slave_destroy().
+
+
+Reference Counting
+==================
+The Scsi_Host structure has had reference counting infrastructure added.
+This effectively spreads the ownership of struct Scsi_Host instances
+across the various SCSI layers which use them. Previously such instances
+were exclusively owned by the mid level. LLDs would not usually need to
+directly manipulate these reference counts but there may be some cases
+where they do.
+
+There are 3 reference counting functions of interest associated with
+struct Scsi_Host:
+
+  - scsi_host_alloc():
+	returns a pointer to new instance of struct
+        Scsi_Host which has its reference count ^^ set to 1
+
+  - scsi_host_get():
+	adds 1 to the reference count of the given instance
+
+  - scsi_host_put():
+	decrements 1 from the reference count of the given
+        instance. If the reference count reaches 0 then the given instance
+        is freed
+
+The scsi_device structure has had reference counting infrastructure added.
+This effectively spreads the ownership of struct scsi_device instances
+across the various SCSI layers which use them. Previously such instances
+were exclusively owned by the mid level. See the access functions declared
+towards the end of include/scsi/scsi_device.h . If an LLD wants to keep
+a copy of a pointer to a scsi_device instance it should use scsi_device_get()
+to bump its reference count. When it is finished with the pointer it can
+use scsi_device_put() to decrement its reference count (and potentially
+delete it).
+
+.. Note::
+
+   struct Scsi_Host actually has 2 reference counts which are manipulated
+   in parallel by these functions.
+
+
+Conventions
+===========
+First, Linus Torvalds's thoughts on C coding style can be found in the
+Documentation/process/coding-style.rst file.
+
+Also, most C99 enhancements are encouraged to the extent they are supported
+by the relevant gcc compilers. So C99 style structure and array
+initializers are encouraged where appropriate. Don't go too far,
+VLAs are not properly supported yet.  An exception to this is the use of
+``//`` style comments; ``/*...*/`` comments are still preferred in Linux.
+
+Well written, tested and documented code, need not be re-formatted to
+comply with the above conventions. For example, the aic7xxx driver
+comes to Linux from FreeBSD and Adaptec's own labs. No doubt FreeBSD
+and Adaptec have their own coding conventions.
+
+
+Mid level supplied functions
+============================
+These functions are supplied by the SCSI mid level for use by LLDs.
+The names (i.e. entry points) of these functions are exported
+so an LLD that is a module can access them. The kernel will
+arrange for the SCSI mid level to be loaded and initialized before any LLD
+is initialized. The functions below are listed alphabetically and their
+names all start with ``scsi_``.
+
+Summary:
+
+  - scsi_add_device - creates new scsi device (lu) instance
+  - scsi_add_host - perform sysfs registration and set up transport class
+  - scsi_change_queue_depth - change the queue depth on a SCSI device
+  - scsi_bios_ptable - return copy of block device's partition table
+  - scsi_block_requests - prevent further commands being queued to given host
+  - scsi_host_alloc - return a new scsi_host instance whose refcount==1
+  - scsi_host_get - increments Scsi_Host instance's refcount
+  - scsi_host_put - decrements Scsi_Host instance's refcount (free if 0)
+  - scsi_register - create and register a scsi host adapter instance.
+  - scsi_remove_device - detach and remove a SCSI device
+  - scsi_remove_host - detach and remove all SCSI devices owned by host
+  - scsi_report_bus_reset - report scsi _bus_ reset observed
+  - scsi_scan_host - scan SCSI bus
+  - scsi_track_queue_full - track successive QUEUE_FULL events
+  - scsi_unblock_requests - allow further commands to be queued to given host
+  - scsi_unregister - [calls scsi_host_put()]

+Interface Functions
+===================
+Interface functions are supplied (defined) by LLDs and their function
+pointers are placed in an instance of struct scsi_host_template which
+is passed to scsi_host_alloc() [or scsi_register() / init_this_scsi_driver()].
+Some are mandatory. Interface functions should be declared static. The
+accepted convention is that driver "xyz" will declare its slave_configure()
+function as::
+
+    static int xyz_slave_configure(struct scsi_device * sdev);
+
+and so forth for all interface functions listed below.
+
+A pointer to this function should be placed in the 'slave_configure' member
+of a "struct scsi_host_template" instance. A pointer to such an instance
+should be passed to the mid level's scsi_host_alloc() [or scsi_register() /
+init_this_scsi_driver()].
+
+The interface functions are also described in the include/scsi/scsi_host.h
+file immediately above their definition point in "struct scsi_host_template".
+In some cases more detail is given in scsi_host.h than below.
+
+The interface functions are listed below in alphabetical order.
+
+Summary:
+
+  - bios_param - fetch head, sector, cylinder info for a disk
+  - eh_timed_out - notify the host that a command timer expired
+  - eh_abort_handler - abort given command
+  - eh_bus_reset_handler - issue SCSI bus reset
+  - eh_device_reset_handler - issue SCSI device reset
+  - eh_host_reset_handler - reset host (host bus adapter)
+  - info - supply information about given host
+  - ioctl - driver can respond to ioctls
+  - proc_info - supports /proc/scsi/{driver_name}/{host_no}
+  - queuecommand - queue scsi command, invoke 'done' on completion
+  - slave_alloc - prior to any commands being sent to a new device
+  - slave_configure - driver fine tuning for given device after attach
+  - slave_destroy - given device is about to be shut down
+
+
+Details::

+
+Data Structures
+===============
+struct scsi_host_template
+-------------------------
+There is one "struct scsi_host_template" instance per LLD [#]_. It is
+typically initialized as a file scope static in a driver's header file. That
+way members that are not explicitly initialized will be set to 0 or NULL.
+Member of interest:
+
+    name
+		 - name of driver (may contain spaces, please limit to
+                   less than 80 characters)
+
+    proc_name
+		 - name used in "/proc/scsi/<proc_name>/<host_no>" and
+                   by sysfs in one of its "drivers" directories. Hence
+                   "proc_name" should only contain characters acceptable
+                   to a Unix file name.
+
+   ``(*queuecommand)()``
+		 - primary callback that the mid level uses to inject
+                   SCSI commands into an LLD.
+
+The structure is defined and commented in include/scsi/scsi_host.h
+
+.. [#] In extreme situations a single driver may have several instances
+       if it controls several different classes of hardware (e.g. an LLD
+       that handles both ISA and PCI cards and has a separate instance of
+       struct scsi_host_template for each class).
+
+struct Scsi_Host
+----------------
+There is one struct Scsi_Host instance per host (HBA) that an LLD
+controls. The struct Scsi_Host structure has many members in common
+with "struct scsi_host_template". When a new struct Scsi_Host instance
+is created (in scsi_host_alloc() in hosts.c) those common members are
+initialized from the driver's struct scsi_host_template instance. Members
+of interest:
+
+    host_no
+		 - system wide unique number that is used for identifying
+                   this host. Issued in ascending order from 0.
+    can_queue
+		 - must be greater than 0; do not send more than can_queue
+                   commands to the adapter.
+    this_id
+		 - scsi id of host (scsi initiator) or -1 if not known
+    sg_tablesize
+		 - maximum scatter gather elements allowed by host.
+                   Set this to SG_ALL or less to avoid chained SG lists.
+                   Must be at least 1.
+    max_sectors
+		 - maximum number of sectors (usually 512 bytes) allowed
+                   in a single SCSI command. The default value of 0 leads
+                   to a setting of SCSI_DEFAULT_MAX_SECTORS (defined in
+                   scsi_host.h) which is currently set to 1024. So for a
+                   disk the maximum transfer size is 512 KB when max_sectors
+                   is not defined. Note that this size may not be sufficient
+                   for disk firmware uploads.
+    cmd_per_lun
+		 - maximum number of commands that can be queued on devices
+                   controlled by the host. Overridden by LLD calls to
+                   scsi_change_queue_depth().
+    unchecked_isa_dma
+		 - 1=>only use bottom 16 MB of ram (ISA DMA addressing
+                   restriction), 0=>can use full 32 bit (or better) DMA
+                   address space
+    no_async_abort
+		 - 1=>Asynchronous aborts are not supported
+		 - 0=>Timed-out commands will be aborted asynchronously
+    hostt
+		 - pointer to driver's struct scsi_host_template from which
+                   this struct Scsi_Host instance was spawned
+    hostt->proc_name
+		 - name of LLD. This is the driver name that sysfs uses
+    transportt
+		 - pointer to driver's struct scsi_transport_template instance
+                   (if any). FC and SPI transports currently supported.
+    sh_list
+		 - a double linked list of pointers to all struct Scsi_Host
+                   instances (currently ordered by ascending host_no)
+    my_devices
+		 - a double linked list of pointers to struct scsi_device
+                   instances that belong to this host.
+    hostdata[0]
+		 - area reserved for LLD at end of struct Scsi_Host. Size
+                   is set by the second argument (named 'xtr_bytes') to
+                   scsi_host_alloc() or scsi_register().
+    vendor_id
+		 - a unique value that identifies the vendor supplying
+                   the LLD for the Scsi_Host.  Used most often in validating
+                   vendor-specific message requests.  Value consists of an
+                   identifier type and a vendor-specific value.
+                   See scsi_netlink.h for a description of valid formats.
+
+The scsi_host structure is defined in include/scsi/scsi_host.h
+
+struct scsi_device
+------------------
+Generally, there is one instance of this structure for each SCSI logical unit
+on a host. Scsi devices connected to a host are uniquely identified by a
+channel number, target id and logical unit number (lun).
+The structure is defined in include/scsi/scsi_device.h
+
+struct scsi_cmnd
+----------------
+Instances of this structure convey SCSI commands to the LLD and responses
+back to the mid level. The SCSI mid level will ensure that no more SCSI
+commands become queued against the LLD than are indicated by
+scsi_change_queue_depth() (or struct Scsi_Host::cmd_per_lun). There will
+be at least one instance of struct scsi_cmnd available for each SCSI device.
+Members of interest:
+
+    cmnd
+		 - array containing SCSI command
+    cmnd_len
+		 - length (in bytes) of SCSI command
+    sc_data_direction
+		 - direction of data transfer in data phase. See
+                   "enum dma_data_direction" in include/linux/dma-mapping.h
+    request_bufflen
+		 - number of data bytes to transfer (0 if no data phase)
+    use_sg
+		 - ==0 -> no scatter gather list, hence transfer data
+                          to/from request_buffer
+                 - >0 ->  scatter gather list (actually an array) in
+                          request_buffer with use_sg elements
+    request_buffer
+		   - either contains data buffer or scatter gather list
+                     depending on the setting of use_sg. Scatter gather
+                     elements are defined by 'struct scatterlist' found
+                     in include/linux/scatterlist.h .
+    done
+		 - function pointer that should be invoked by LLD when the
+                   SCSI command is completed (successfully or otherwise).
+                   Should only be called by an LLD if the LLD has accepted
+                   the command (i.e. queuecommand() returned or will return
+                   0). The LLD may invoke 'done'  prior to queuecommand()
+                   finishing.
+    result
+		 - should be set by LLD prior to calling 'done'. A value
+                   of 0 implies a successfully completed command (and all
+                   data (if any) has been transferred to or from the SCSI
+                   target device). 'result' is a 32 bit unsigned integer that
+                   can be viewed as 4 related bytes. The SCSI status value is
+                   in the LSB. See include/scsi/scsi.h status_byte(),
+                   msg_byte(), host_byte() and driver_byte() macros and
+                   related constants.
+    sense_buffer
+		 - an array (maximum size: SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE bytes) that
+                   should be written when the SCSI status (LSB of 'result')
+                   is set to CHECK_CONDITION (2). When CHECK_CONDITION is
+                   set, if the top nibble of sense_buffer[0] has the value 7
+                   then the mid level will assume the sense_buffer array
+                   contains a valid SCSI sense buffer; otherwise the mid
+                   level will issue a REQUEST_SENSE SCSI command to
+                   retrieve the sense buffer. The latter strategy is error
+                   prone in the presence of command queuing so the LLD should
+                   always "auto-sense".
+    device
+		 - pointer to scsi_device object that this command is
+                   associated with.
+    resid
+		 - an LLD should set this unsigned integer to the requested
+                   transfer length (i.e. 'request_bufflen') less the number
+                   of bytes that are actually transferred. 'resid' is
+                   preset to 0 so an LLD can ignore it if it cannot detect
+                   underruns (overruns should not be reported). An LLD
+                   should set 'resid' prior to invoking 'done'. The most
+                   interesting case is data transfers from a SCSI target
+                   device (e.g. READs) that underrun.
+    underflow
+		 - LLD should place (DID_ERROR << 16) in 'result' if
+                   actual number of bytes transferred is less than this
+                   figure. Not many LLDs implement this check and some that
+                   do just output an error message to the log rather than
+                   report a DID_ERROR. Better for an LLD to implement
+                   'resid'.
+
+It is recommended that a LLD set 'resid' on data transfers from a SCSI
+target device (e.g. READs). It is especially important that 'resid' is set
+when such data transfers have sense keys of MEDIUM ERROR and HARDWARE ERROR
+(and possibly RECOVERED ERROR). In these cases if a LLD is in doubt how much
+data has been received then the safest approach is to indicate no bytes have
+been received. For example: to indicate that no valid data has been received
+a LLD might use these helpers::
+
+    scsi_set_resid(SCpnt, scsi_bufflen(SCpnt));
+
+where 'SCpnt' is a pointer to a scsi_cmnd object. To indicate only three 512
+bytes blocks has been received 'resid' could be set like this::
+
+    scsi_set_resid(SCpnt, scsi_bufflen(SCpnt) - (3 * 512));
+
+The scsi_cmnd structure is defined in include/scsi/scsi_cmnd.h
+
+
+Locks
+=====
+Each struct Scsi_Host instance has a spin_lock called struct
+Scsi_Host::default_lock which is initialized in scsi_host_alloc() [found in
+hosts.c]. Within the same function the struct Scsi_Host::host_lock pointer
+is initialized to point at default_lock.  Thereafter lock and unlock
+operations performed by the mid level use the struct Scsi_Host::host_lock
+pointer.  Previously drivers could override the host_lock pointer but
+this is not allowed anymore.
+
+
+Autosense
+=========
+Autosense (or auto-sense) is defined in the SAM-2 document as "the
+automatic return of sense data to the application client coincident
+with the completion of a SCSI command" when a status of CHECK CONDITION
+occurs. LLDs should perform autosense. This should be done when the LLD
+detects a CHECK CONDITION status by either:
+
+    a) instructing the SCSI protocol (e.g. SCSI Parallel Interface (SPI))
+       to perform an extra data in phase on such responses
+    b) or, the LLD issuing a REQUEST SENSE command itself
+
+Either way, when a status of CHECK CONDITION is detected, the mid level
+decides whether the LLD has performed autosense by checking struct
+scsi_cmnd::sense_buffer[0] . If this byte has an upper nibble of 7 (or 0xf)
+then autosense is assumed to have taken place. If it has another value (and
+this byte is initialized to 0 before each command) then the mid level will
+issue a REQUEST SENSE command.
+
+In the presence of queued commands the "nexus" that maintains sense
+buffer data from the command that failed until a following REQUEST SENSE
+may get out of synchronization. This is why it is best for the LLD
+to perform autosense.
+
+
+Changes since lk 2.4 series
+===========================
+io_request_lock has been replaced by several finer grained locks. The lock
+relevant to LLDs is struct Scsi_Host::host_lock and there is
+one per SCSI host.
+
+The older error handling mechanism has been removed. This means the
+LLD interface functions abort() and reset() have been removed.
+The struct scsi_host_template::use_new_eh_code flag has been removed.
+
+In the 2.4 series the SCSI subsystem configuration descriptions were
+aggregated with the configuration descriptions from all other Linux
+subsystems in the Documentation/Configure.help file. In the 2.6 series,
+the SCSI subsystem now has its own (much smaller) drivers/scsi/Kconfig
+file that contains both configuration and help information.
+
+struct SHT has been renamed to struct scsi_host_template.
+
+Addition of the "hotplug initialization model" and many extra functions
+to support it.

+SMARTPQI - Microchip Smart Storage SCSI driver
+==============================================
+
+This file describes the smartpqi SCSI driver for Microchip
+(http://www.microchip.com) PQI controllers. The smartpqi driver
+is the next generation SCSI driver for Microchip Corp. The smartpqi
+driver is the first SCSI driver to implement the PQI queuing model.
+
+The smartpqi driver will replace the aacraid driver for Adaptec Series 9
+controllers. Customers running an older kernel (Pre-4.9) using an Adaptec
+Series 9 controller will have to configure the smartpqi driver or their
+volumes will not be added to the OS.
+
+For Microchip smartpqi controller support, enable the smartpqi driver
+when configuring the kernel.
+
+For more information on the PQI Queuing Interface, please see:

+- http://www.t10.org/members/w_pqi2.htm
+
+Supported devices
+=================
+<Controller names to be added as they become publicly available.>
+
+smartpqi specific entries in /sys
+=================================
+
+smartpqi host attributes
+------------------------
+  - /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/rescan
+  - /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/driver_version
+
+  The host rescan attribute is a write only attribute. Writing to this
+  attribute will trigger the driver to scan for new, changed, or removed
+  devices and notify the SCSI mid-layer of any changes detected.
+
+  The version attribute is read-only and will return the driver version
+  and the controller firmware version.
+  For example::
+
+              driver: 0.9.13-370
+              firmware: 0.01-522
+
+smartpqi sas device attributes
+------------------------------
+  HBA devices are added to the SAS transport layer. These attributes are
+  automatically added by the SAS transport layer.
+
+  /sys/class/sas_device/end_device-X:X/sas_address
+  /sys/class/sas_device/end_device-X:X/enclosure_identifier
+  /sys/class/sas_device/end_device-X:X/scsi_target_id
+
+smartpqi specific ioctls
+========================
+
+  For compatibility with applications written for the cciss protocol.
+
+  CCISS_DEREGDISK, CCISS_REGNEWDISK, CCISS_REGNEWD
+	The above three ioctls all do exactly the same thing, which is to cause the driver
+	to rescan for new devices.  This does exactly the same thing as writing to the
+	smartpqi specific host "rescan" attribute.
+
+  CCISS_GETPCIINFO
+	Returns PCI domain, bus, device and function and "board ID" (PCI subsystem ID).
+
+  CCISS_GETDRIVVER
+	Returns driver version in three bytes encoded as::
+
+	  (DRIVER_MAJOR << 28) | (DRIVER_MINOR << 24) | (DRIVER_RELEASE << 16) | DRIVER_REVISION;
+
+  CCISS_PASSTHRU
+	Allows "BMIC" and "CISS" commands to be passed through to the Smart Storage Array.
+	These are used extensively by the SSA Array Configuration Utility, SNMP storage
+	agents, etc.

+The SCSI Tape Driver
+====================
+
+This file contains brief information about the SCSI tape driver.
+The driver is currently maintained by Kai Mäkisara (email
+Kai.Makisara@kolumbus.fi)
+
+Last modified: Tue Feb  9 21:54:16 2016 by kai.makisara
+
+
+Basics
+======
+
+The driver is generic, i.e., it does not contain any code tailored
+to any specific tape drive. The tape parameters can be specified with
+one of the following three methods:
+
+1. Each user can specify the tape parameters he/she wants to use
+directly with ioctls. This is administratively a very simple and
+flexible method and applicable to single-user workstations. However,
+in a multiuser environment the next user finds the tape parameters in
+state the previous user left them.
+
+2. The system manager (root) can define default values for some tape
+parameters, like block size and density using the MTSETDRVBUFFER ioctl.
+These parameters can be programmed to come into effect either when a
+new tape is loaded into the drive or if writing begins at the
+beginning of the tape. The second method is applicable if the tape
+drive performs auto-detection of the tape format well (like some
+QIC-drives). The result is that any tape can be read, writing can be
+continued using existing format, and the default format is used if
+the tape is rewritten from the beginning (or a new tape is written
+for the first time). The first method is applicable if the drive
+does not perform auto-detection well enough and there is a single
+"sensible" mode for the device. An example is a DAT drive that is
+used only in variable block mode (I don't know if this is sensible
+or not :-).
+
+The user can override the parameters defined by the system
+manager. The changes persist until the defaults again come into
+effect.
+
+3. By default, up to four modes can be defined and selected using the minor
+number (bits 5 and 6). The number of modes can be changed by changing
+ST_NBR_MODE_BITS in st.h. Mode 0 corresponds to the defaults discussed
+above. Additional modes are dormant until they are defined by the
+system manager (root). When specification of a new mode is started,
+the configuration of mode 0 is used to provide a starting point for
+definition of the new mode.
+
+Using the modes allows the system manager to give the users choices
+over some of the buffering parameters not directly accessible to the
+users (buffered and asynchronous writes). The modes also allow choices
+between formats in multi-tape operations (the explicitly overridden
+parameters are reset when a new tape is loaded).
+
+If more than one mode is used, all modes should contain definitions
+for the same set of parameters.
+
+Many Unices contain internal tables that associate different modes to
+supported devices. The Linux SCSI tape driver does not contain such
+tables (and will not do that in future). Instead of that, a utility
+program can be made that fetches the inquiry data sent by the device,
+scans its database, and sets up the modes using the ioctls. Another
+alternative is to make a small script that uses mt to set the defaults
+tailored to the system.
+
+The driver supports fixed and variable block size (within buffer
+limits). Both the auto-rewind (minor equals device number) and
+non-rewind devices (minor is 128 + device number) are implemented.
+
+In variable block mode, the byte count in write() determines the size
+of the physical block on tape. When reading, the drive reads the next
+tape block and returns to the user the data if the read() byte count
+is at least the block size. Otherwise, error ENOMEM is returned.
+
+In fixed block mode, the data transfer between the drive and the
+driver is in multiples of the block size. The write() byte count must
+be a multiple of the block size. This is not required when reading but
+may be advisable for portability.
+
+Support is provided for changing the tape partition and partitioning
+of the tape with one or two partitions. By default support for
+partitioned tape is disabled for each driver and it can be enabled
+with the ioctl MTSETDRVBUFFER.
+
+By default the driver writes one filemark when the device is closed after
+writing and the last operation has been a write. Two filemarks can be
+optionally written. In both cases end of data is signified by
+returning zero bytes for two consecutive reads.
+
+Writing filemarks without the immediate bit set in the SCSI command block acts
+as a synchronization point, i.e., all remaining data form the drive buffers is
+written to tape before the command returns. This makes sure that write errors
+are caught at that point, but this takes time. In some applications, several
+consecutive files must be written fast. The MTWEOFI operation can be used to
+write the filemarks without flushing the drive buffer. Writing filemark at
+close() is always flushing the drive buffers. However, if the previous
+operation is MTWEOFI, close() does not write a filemark. This can be used if
+the program wants to close/open the tape device between files and wants to
+skip waiting.
+
+If rewind, offline, bsf, or seek is done and previous tape operation was
+write, a filemark is written before moving tape.
+
+The compile options are defined in the file linux/drivers/scsi/st_options.h.
+
+4. If the open option O_NONBLOCK is used, open succeeds even if the
+drive is not ready. If O_NONBLOCK is not used, the driver waits for
+the drive to become ready. If this does not happen in ST_BLOCK_SECONDS
+seconds, open fails with the errno value EIO. With O_NONBLOCK the
+device can be opened for writing even if there is a write protected
+tape in the drive (commands trying to write something return error if
+attempted).
+
+
+Minor Numbers
+=============
+
+The tape driver currently supports up to 2^17 drives if 4 modes for
+each drive are used.
+
+The minor numbers consist of the following bit fields::
+
+    dev_upper non-rew mode dev-lower
+    20 -  8     7    6 5  4      0
+
+The non-rewind bit is always bit 7 (the uppermost bit in the lowermost
+byte). The bits defining the mode are below the non-rewind bit. The
+remaining bits define the tape device number. This numbering is
+backward compatible with the numbering used when the minor number was
+only 8 bits wide.
+
+
+Sysfs Support
+=============
+
+The driver creates the directory /sys/class/scsi_tape and populates it with
+directories corresponding to the existing tape devices. There are autorewind
+and non-rewind entries for each mode. The names are stxy and nstxy, where x
+is the tape number and y a character corresponding to the mode (none, l, m,
+a). For example, the directories for the first tape device are (assuming four
+modes): st0  nst0  st0l  nst0l  st0m  nst0m  st0a  nst0a.
+
+Each directory contains the entries: default_blksize  default_compression
+default_density  defined  dev  device  driver. The file 'defined' contains 1
+if the mode is defined and zero if not defined. The files 'default_*' contain
+the defaults set by the user. The value -1 means the default is not set. The
+file 'dev' contains the device numbers corresponding to this device. The links
+'device' and 'driver' point to the SCSI device and driver entries.
+
+Each directory also contains the entry 'options' which shows the currently
+enabled driver and mode options. The value in the file is a bit mask where the
+bit definitions are the same as those used with MTSETDRVBUFFER in setting the
+options.
+
+A link named 'tape' is made from the SCSI device directory to the class
+directory corresponding to the mode 0 auto-rewind device (e.g., st0).
+
+
+Sysfs and Statistics for Tape Devices
+=====================================
+
+The st driver maintains statistics for tape drives inside the sysfs filesystem.
+The following method can be used to locate the statistics that are
+available (assuming that sysfs is mounted at /sys):
+
+1. Use opendir(3) on the directory /sys/class/scsi_tape
+2. Use readdir(3) to read the directory contents
+3. Use regcomp(3)/regexec(3) to match directory entries to the extended
+   regular expression "^st[0-9]+$"
+4. Access the statistics from the /sys/class/scsi_tape/<match>/stats
+   directory (where <match> is a directory entry from /sys/class/scsi_tape
+   that matched the extended regular expression)
+
+The reason for using this approach is that all the character devices
+pointing to the same tape drive use the same statistics. That means
+that st0 would have the same statistics as nst0.
+
+The directory contains the following statistics files:
+
+1.  in_flight
+      - The number of I/Os currently outstanding to this device.
+2.  io_ns
+      - The amount of time spent waiting (in nanoseconds) for all I/O
+        to complete (including read and write). This includes tape movement
+        commands such as seeking between file or set marks and implicit tape
+        movement such as when rewind on close tape devices are used.
+3.  other_cnt
+      - The number of I/Os issued to the tape drive other than read or
+        write commands. The time taken to complete these commands uses the
+        following calculation io_ms-read_ms-write_ms.
+4.  read_byte_cnt
+      - The number of bytes read from the tape drive.
+5.  read_cnt
+      - The number of read requests issued to the tape drive.
+6.  read_ns
+      - The amount of time (in nanoseconds) spent waiting for read
+        requests to complete.
+7.  write_byte_cnt
+      - The number of bytes written to the tape drive.
+8.  write_cnt
+      - The number of write requests issued to the tape drive.
+9.  write_ns
+      - The amount of time (in nanoseconds) spent waiting for write
+        requests to complete.
+10. resid_cnt
+      - The number of times during a read or write we found
+	the residual amount to be non-zero. This should mean that a program
+	is issuing a read larger thean the block size on tape. For write
+	not all data made it to tape.
+
+.. Note::
+
+   The in_flight value is incremented when an I/O starts the I/O
+   itself is not added to the statistics until it completes.
+
+The total of read_cnt, write_cnt, and other_cnt may not total to the same
+value as iodone_cnt at the device level. The tape statistics only count
+I/O issued via the st module.
+
+When read the statistics may not be temporally consistent while I/O is in
+progress. The individual values are read and written to atomically however
+when reading them back via sysfs they may be in the process of being
+updated when starting an I/O or when it is completed.
+
+The value shown in in_flight is incremented before any statstics are
+updated and decremented when an I/O completes after updating statistics.
+The value of in_flight is 0 when there are no I/Os outstanding that are
+issued by the st driver. Tape statistics do not take into account any
+I/O performed via the sg device.
+
+BSD and Sys V Semantics
+=======================
+
+The user can choose between these two behaviours of the tape driver by
+defining the value of the symbol ST_SYSV. The semantics differ when a
+file being read is closed. The BSD semantics leaves the tape where it
+currently is whereas the SYS V semantics moves the tape past the next
+filemark unless the filemark has just been crossed.
+
+The default is BSD semantics.
+
+
+Buffering
+=========
+
+The driver tries to do transfers directly to/from user space. If this
+is not possible, a driver buffer allocated at run-time is used. If
+direct i/o is not possible for the whole transfer, the driver buffer
+is used (i.e., bounce buffers for individual pages are not
+used). Direct i/o can be impossible because of several reasons, e.g.:
+
+- one or more pages are at addresses not reachable by the HBA
+- the number of pages in the transfer exceeds the number of
+  scatter/gather segments permitted by the HBA
+- one or more pages can't be locked into memory (should not happen in
+  any reasonable situation)
+
+The size of the driver buffers is always at least one tape block. In fixed
+block mode, the minimum buffer size is defined (in 1024 byte units) by
+ST_FIXED_BUFFER_BLOCKS. With small block size this allows buffering of
+several blocks and using one SCSI read or write to transfer all of the
+blocks. Buffering of data across write calls in fixed block mode is
+allowed if ST_BUFFER_WRITES is non-zero and direct i/o is not used.
+Buffer allocation uses chunks of memory having sizes 2^n * (page
+size). Because of this the actual buffer size may be larger than the
+minimum allowable buffer size.
+
+NOTE that if direct i/o is used, the small writes are not buffered. This may
+cause a surprise when moving from 2.4. There small writes (e.g., tar without
+-b option) may have had good throughput but this is not true any more with
+2.6. Direct i/o can be turned off to solve this problem but a better solution
+is to use bigger write() byte counts (e.g., tar -b 64).
+
+Asynchronous writing. Writing the buffer contents to the tape is
+started and the write call returns immediately. The status is checked
+at the next tape operation. Asynchronous writes are not done with
+direct i/o and not in fixed block mode.
+
+Buffered writes and asynchronous writes may in some rare cases cause
+problems in multivolume operations if there is not enough space on the
+tape after the early-warning mark to flush the driver buffer.
+
+Read ahead for fixed block mode (ST_READ_AHEAD). Filling the buffer is
+attempted even if the user does not want to get all of the data at
+this read command. Should be disabled for those drives that don't like
+a filemark to truncate a read request or that don't like backspacing.
+
+Scatter/gather buffers (buffers that consist of chunks non-contiguous
+in the physical memory) are used if contiguous buffers can't be
+allocated. To support all SCSI adapters (including those not
+supporting scatter/gather), buffer allocation is using the following
+three kinds of chunks:
+
+1. The initial segment that is used for all SCSI adapters including
+   those not supporting scatter/gather. The size of this buffer will be
+   (PAGE_SIZE << ST_FIRST_ORDER) bytes if the system can give a chunk of
+   this size (and it is not larger than the buffer size specified by
+   ST_BUFFER_BLOCKS). If this size is not available, the driver halves
+   the size and tries again until the size of one page. The default
+   settings in st_options.h make the driver to try to allocate all of the
+   buffer as one chunk.
+2. The scatter/gather segments to fill the specified buffer size are
+   allocated so that as many segments as possible are used but the number
+   of segments does not exceed ST_FIRST_SG.
+3. The remaining segments between ST_MAX_SG (or the module parameter
+   max_sg_segs) and the number of segments used in phases 1 and 2
+   are used to extend the buffer at run-time if this is necessary. The
+   number of scatter/gather segments allowed for the SCSI adapter is not
+   exceeded if it is smaller than the maximum number of scatter/gather
+   segments specified. If the maximum number allowed for the SCSI adapter
+   is smaller than the number of segments used in phases 1 and 2,
+   extending the buffer will always fail.
+
+
+EOM Behaviour When Writing
+==========================
+
+When the end of medium early warning is encountered, the current write
+is finished and the number of bytes is returned. The next write
+returns -1 and errno is set to ENOSPC. To enable writing a trailer,
+the next write is allowed to proceed and, if successful, the number of
+bytes is returned. After this, -1 and the number of bytes are
+alternately returned until the physical end of medium (or some other
+error) is encountered.
+
+Module Parameters
+=================
+
+The buffer size, write threshold, and the maximum number of allocated buffers
+are configurable when the driver is loaded as a module. The keywords are:
+
+========================== ===========================================
+buffer_kbs=xxx             the buffer size for fixed block mode is set
+			   to xxx kilobytes
+write_threshold_kbs=xxx    the write threshold in kilobytes set to xxx
+max_sg_segs=xxx		   the maximum number of scatter/gather
+			   segments
+try_direct_io=x		   try direct transfer between user buffer and
+			   tape drive if this is non-zero
+========================== ===========================================
+
+Note that if the buffer size is changed but the write threshold is not
+set, the write threshold is set to the new buffer size - 2 kB.
+
+
+Boot Time Configuration
+=======================
+
+If the driver is compiled into the kernel, the same parameters can be
+also set using, e.g., the LILO command line. The preferred syntax is
+to use the same keyword used when loading as module but prepended
+with 'st.'. For instance, to set the maximum number of scatter/gather
+segments, the parameter 'st.max_sg_segs=xx' should be used (xx is the
+number of scatter/gather segments).
+
+For compatibility, the old syntax from early 2.5 and 2.4 kernel
+versions is supported. The same keywords can be used as when loading
+the driver as module. If several parameters are set, the keyword-value
+pairs are separated with a comma (no spaces allowed). A colon can be
+used instead of the equal mark. The definition is prepended by the
+string st=. Here is an example::
+
+	st=buffer_kbs:64,write_threshold_kbs:60
+
+The following syntax used by the old kernel versions is also supported::
+
+           st=aa[,bb[,dd]]
+
+where:
+
+  - aa is the buffer size for fixed block mode in 1024 byte units
+  - bb is the write threshold in 1024 byte units
+  - dd is the maximum number of scatter/gather segments
+
+
+IOCTLs
+======
+
+The tape is positioned and the drive parameters are set with ioctls
+defined in mtio.h The tape control program 'mt' uses these ioctls. Try
+to find an mt that supports all of the Linux SCSI tape ioctls and
+opens the device for writing if the tape contents will be modified
+(look for a package mt-st* from the Linux ftp sites; the GNU mt does
+not open for writing for, e.g., erase).
+
+The supported ioctls are:
+
+The following use the structure mtop:
+
+MTFSF
+	Space forward over count filemarks. Tape positioned after filemark.
+MTFSFM
+	As above but tape positioned before filemark.
+MTBSF
+	Space backward over count filemarks. Tape positioned before
+        filemark.
+MTBSFM
+	As above but ape positioned after filemark.
+MTFSR
+	Space forward over count records.
+MTBSR
+	Space backward over count records.
+MTFSS
+	Space forward over count setmarks.
+MTBSS
+	Space backward over count setmarks.
+MTWEOF
+	Write count filemarks.
+MTWEOFI
+	Write count filemarks with immediate bit set (i.e., does not
+	wait until data is on tape)
+MTWSM
+	Write count setmarks.
+MTREW
+	Rewind tape.
+MTOFFL
+	Set device off line (often rewind plus eject).
+MTNOP
+	Do nothing except flush the buffers.
+MTRETEN
+	Re-tension tape.
+MTEOM
+	Space to end of recorded data.
+MTERASE
+	Erase tape. If the argument is zero, the short erase command
+	is used. The long erase command is used with all other values
+	of the argument.
+MTSEEK
+	Seek to tape block count. Uses Tandberg-compatible seek (QFA)
+        for SCSI-1 drives and SCSI-2 seek for SCSI-2 drives. The file and
+	block numbers in the status are not valid after a seek.
+MTSETBLK
+	Set the drive block size. Setting to zero sets the drive into
+        variable block mode (if applicable).
+MTSETDENSITY
+	Sets the drive density code to arg. See drive
+        documentation for available codes.
+MTLOCK and MTUNLOCK
+	Explicitly lock/unlock the tape drive door.
+MTLOAD and MTUNLOAD
+	Explicitly load and unload the tape. If the
+	command argument x is between MT_ST_HPLOADER_OFFSET + 1 and
+	MT_ST_HPLOADER_OFFSET + 6, the number x is used sent to the
+	drive with the command and it selects the tape slot to use of
+	HP C1553A changer.
+MTCOMPRESSION
+	Sets compressing or uncompressing drive mode using the
+	SCSI mode page 15. Note that some drives other methods for
+	control of compression. Some drives (like the Exabytes) use
+	density codes for compression control. Some drives use another
+	mode page but this page has not been implemented in the
+	driver. Some drives without compression capability will accept
+	any compression mode without error.
+MTSETPART
+	Moves the tape to the partition given by the argument at the
+	next tape operation. The block at which the tape is positioned
+	is the block where the tape was previously positioned in the
+	new active partition unless the next tape operation is
+	MTSEEK. In this case the tape is moved directly to the block
+	specified by MTSEEK. MTSETPART is inactive unless
+	MT_ST_CAN_PARTITIONS set.
+MTMKPART
+	Formats the tape with one partition (argument zero) or two
+	partitions (argument non-zero). If the argument is positive,
+	it specifies the size of partition 1 in megabytes. For DDS
+	drives and several early drives this is the physically first
+	partition of the tape. If the argument is negative, its absolute
+	value specifies the size of partition 0 in megabytes. This is
+	the physically first partition of many later drives, like the
+	LTO drives from LTO-5 upwards. The drive has to support partitions
+	with size specified by the initiator. Inactive unless
+	MT_ST_CAN_PARTITIONS set.
+MTSETDRVBUFFER
+	Is used for several purposes. The command is obtained from count
+        with mask MT_SET_OPTIONS, the low order bits are used as argument.
+	This command is only allowed for the superuser (root). The
+	subcommands are:
+
+	* 0
+           The drive buffer option is set to the argument. Zero means
+           no buffering.
+        * MT_ST_BOOLEANS
+           Sets the buffering options. The bits are the new states
+           (enabled/disabled) the following options (in the
+	   parenthesis is specified whether the option is global or
+	   can be specified differently for each mode):
+
+	     MT_ST_BUFFER_WRITES
+		write buffering (mode)
+	     MT_ST_ASYNC_WRITES
+		asynchronous writes (mode)
+             MT_ST_READ_AHEAD
+		read ahead (mode)
+             MT_ST_TWO_FM
+		writing of two filemarks (global)
+	     MT_ST_FAST_EOM
+		using the SCSI spacing to EOD (global)
+	     MT_ST_AUTO_LOCK
+		automatic locking of the drive door (global)
+             MT_ST_DEF_WRITES
+		the defaults are meant only for writes (mode)
+	     MT_ST_CAN_BSR
+		backspacing over more than one records can
+		be used for repositioning the tape (global)
+	     MT_ST_NO_BLKLIMS
+		the driver does not ask the block limits
+		from the drive (block size can be changed only to
+		variable) (global)
+	     MT_ST_CAN_PARTITIONS
+		enables support for partitioned
+		tapes (global)
+	     MT_ST_SCSI2LOGICAL
+		the logical block number is used in
+		the MTSEEK and MTIOCPOS for SCSI-2 drives instead of
+		the device dependent address. It is recommended to set
+		this flag unless there are tapes using the device
+		dependent (from the old times) (global)
+	     MT_ST_SYSV
+		sets the SYSV semantics (mode)
+	     MT_ST_NOWAIT
+		enables immediate mode (i.e., don't wait for
+	        the command to finish) for some commands (e.g., rewind)
+	     MT_ST_NOWAIT_EOF
+		enables immediate filemark mode (i.e. when
+	        writing a filemark, don't wait for it to complete). Please
+		see the BASICS note about MTWEOFI with respect to the
+		possible dangers of writing immediate filemarks.
+	     MT_ST_SILI
+		enables setting the SILI bit in SCSI commands when
+		reading in variable block mode to enhance performance when
+		reading blocks shorter than the byte count; set this only
+		if you are sure that the drive supports SILI and the HBA
+		correctly returns transfer residuals
+	     MT_ST_DEBUGGING
+		debugging (global; debugging must be
+		compiled into the driver)
+
+	* MT_ST_SETBOOLEANS, MT_ST_CLEARBOOLEANS
+	   Sets or clears the option bits.
+        * MT_ST_WRITE_THRESHOLD
+           Sets the write threshold for this device to kilobytes
+           specified by the lowest bits.
+	* MT_ST_DEF_BLKSIZE
+	   Defines the default block size set automatically. Value
+	   0xffffff means that the default is not used any more.
+	* MT_ST_DEF_DENSITY, MT_ST_DEF_DRVBUFFER
+	   Used to set or clear the density (8 bits), and drive buffer
+	   state (3 bits). If the value is MT_ST_CLEAR_DEFAULT
+	   (0xfffff) the default will not be used any more. Otherwise
+	   the lowermost bits of the value contain the new value of
+	   the parameter.
+	* MT_ST_DEF_COMPRESSION
+	   The compression default will not be used if the value of
+	   the lowermost byte is 0xff. Otherwise the lowermost bit
+	   contains the new default. If the bits 8-15 are set to a
+	   non-zero number, and this number is not 0xff, the number is
+	   used as the compression algorithm. The value
+	   MT_ST_CLEAR_DEFAULT can be used to clear the compression
+	   default.
+	* MT_ST_SET_TIMEOUT
+	   Set the normal timeout in seconds for this device. The
+	   default is 900 seconds (15 minutes). The timeout should be
+	   long enough for the retries done by the device while
+	   reading/writing.
+	* MT_ST_SET_LONG_TIMEOUT
+	   Set the long timeout that is used for operations that are
+	   known to take a long time. The default is 14000 seconds
+	   (3.9 hours). For erase this value is further multiplied by
+	   eight.
+	* MT_ST_SET_CLN
+	   Set the cleaning request interpretation parameters using
+	   the lowest 24 bits of the argument. The driver can set the
+	   generic status bit GMT_CLN if a cleaning request bit pattern
+	   is found from the extended sense data. Many drives set one or
+	   more bits in the extended sense data when the drive needs
+	   cleaning. The bits are device-dependent. The driver is
+	   given the number of the sense data byte (the lowest eight
+	   bits of the argument; must be >= 18 (values 1 - 17
+	   reserved) and <= the maximum requested sense data sixe),
+	   a mask to select the relevant bits (the bits 9-16), and the
+	   bit pattern (bits 17-23). If the bit pattern is zero, one
+	   or more bits under the mask indicate cleaning request. If
+	   the pattern is non-zero, the pattern must match the masked
+	   sense data byte.
+
+	   (The cleaning bit is set if the additional sense code and
+	   qualifier 00h 17h are seen regardless of the setting of
+	   MT_ST_SET_CLN.)
+
+The following ioctl uses the structure mtpos:
+
+MTIOCPOS
+	Reads the current position from the drive. Uses
+        Tandberg-compatible QFA for SCSI-1 drives and the SCSI-2
+        command for the SCSI-2 drives.
+
+The following ioctl uses the structure mtget to return the status:
+
+MTIOCGET
+	Returns some status information.
+        The file number and block number within file are returned. The
+        block is -1 when it can't be determined (e.g., after MTBSF).
+        The drive type is either MTISSCSI1 or MTISSCSI2.
+        The number of recovered errors since the previous status call
+        is stored in the lower word of the field mt_erreg.
+        The current block size and the density code are stored in the field
+        mt_dsreg (shifts for the subfields are MT_ST_BLKSIZE_SHIFT and
+        MT_ST_DENSITY_SHIFT).
+	The GMT_xxx status bits reflect the drive status. GMT_DR_OPEN
+	is set if there is no tape in the drive. GMT_EOD means either
+	end of recorded data or end of tape. GMT_EOT means end of tape.
+
+
+Miscellaneous Compile Options
+=============================
+
+The recovered write errors are considered fatal if ST_RECOVERED_WRITE_FATAL
+is defined.
+
+The maximum number of tape devices is determined by the define
+ST_MAX_TAPES. If more tapes are detected at driver initialization, the
+maximum is adjusted accordingly.
+
+Immediate return from tape positioning SCSI commands can be enabled by
+defining ST_NOWAIT. If this is defined, the user should take care that
+the next tape operation is not started before the previous one has
+finished. The drives and SCSI adapters should handle this condition
+gracefully, but some drive/adapter combinations are known to hang the
+SCSI bus in this case.
+
+The MTEOM command is by default implemented as spacing over 32767
+filemarks. With this method the file number in the status is
+correct. The user can request using direct spacing to EOD by setting
+ST_FAST_EOM 1 (or using the MT_ST_OPTIONS ioctl). In this case the file
+number will be invalid.
+
+When using read ahead or buffered writes the position within the file
+may not be correct after the file is closed (correct position may
+require backspacing over more than one record). The correct position
+within file can be obtained if ST_IN_FILE_POS is defined at compile
+time or the MT_ST_CAN_BSR bit is set for the drive with an ioctl.
+(The driver always backs over a filemark crossed by read ahead if the
+user does not request data that far.)
+
+
+Debugging Hints
+===============
+
+Debugging code is now compiled in by default but debugging is turned off
+with the kernel module parameter debug_flag defaulting to 0.  Debugging
+can still be switched on and off with an ioctl.  To enable debug at
+module load time add debug_flag=1 to the module load options, the
+debugging output is not voluminous. Debugging can also be enabled
+and disabled by writing a '0' (disable) or '1' (enable) to the sysfs
+file /sys/bus/scsi/drivers/st/debug_flag.
+
+If the tape seems to hang, I would be very interested to hear where
+the driver is waiting. With the command 'ps -l' you can see the state
+of the process using the tape. If the state is D, the process is
+waiting for something. The field WCHAN tells where the driver is
+waiting. If you have the current System.map in the correct place (in
+/boot for the procps I use) or have updated /etc/psdatabase (for kmem
+ps), ps writes the function name in the WCHAN field. If not, you have
+to look up the function from System.map.
+
+Note also that the timeouts are very long compared to most other
+drivers. This means that the Linux driver may appear hung although the
+real reason is that the tape firmware has got confused.

+The sym53c500_cs Driver
+=======================
+
+The sym53c500_cs driver originated as an add-on to David Hinds' pcmcia-cs
+package, and was written by Tom Corner (tcorner@via.at).  A rewrite was
+long overdue, and the current version addresses the following concerns:
+
+	(1) extensive kernel changes between 2.4 and 2.6.
+	(2) deprecated PCMCIA support outside the kernel.
+
+All the USE_BIOS code has been ripped out.  It was never used, and could
+not have worked anyway.  The USE_DMA code is likewise gone.  Many thanks
+to YOKOTA Hiroshi (nsp_cs driver) and David Hinds (qlogic_cs driver) for
+the code fragments I shamelessly adapted for this work.  Thanks also to
+Christoph Hellwig for his patient tutelage while I stumbled about.
+
+The Symbios Logic 53c500 chip was used in the "newer" (circa 1997) version
+of the New Media Bus Toaster PCMCIA SCSI controller.  Presumably there are
+other products using this chip, but I've never laid eyes (much less hands)
+on one.
+
+Through the years, there have been a number of downloads of the pcmcia-cs
+version of this driver, and I guess it worked for those users.  It worked
+for Tom Corner, and it works for me.  Your mileage will probably vary.

+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+This driver supports the whole SYM53C8XX family of PCI-SCSI controllers.
+It also support the subset of LSI53C10XX PCI-SCSI controllers that are based
+on the SYM53C8XX SCRIPTS language.
+
+It replaces the sym53c8xx+ncr53c8xx driver bundle and shares its core code
+with the FreeBSD SYM-2 driver. The 'glue' that allows this driver to work
+under Linux is contained in 2 files named sym_glue.h and sym_glue.c.
+Other drivers files are intended not to depend on the Operating System
+on which the driver is used.
+
+The history of this driver can be summarized as follows:
+
+1993: ncr driver written for 386bsd and FreeBSD by:
+
+          - Wolfgang Stanglmeier        <wolf@cologne.de>
+          - Stefan Esser                <se@mi.Uni-Koeln.de>
+
+1996: port of the ncr driver to Linux-1.2.13 and rename it ncr53c8xx.
+
+          - Gerard Roudier
+
+1998: new sym53c8xx driver for Linux based on LOAD/STORE instruction and that
+      adds full support for the 896 but drops support for early NCR devices.
+
+          - Gerard Roudier
+
+1999: port of the sym53c8xx driver to FreeBSD and support for the LSI53C1010
+      33 MHz and 66MHz Ultra-3 controllers. The new driver is named 'sym'.
+
+          - Gerard Roudier
+
+2000: Add support for early NCR devices to FreeBSD 'sym' driver.
+      Break the driver into several sources and separate the OS glue
+      code from the core code that can be shared among different O/Ses.
+      Write a glue code for Linux.
+
+          - Gerard Roudier
+
+2004: Remove FreeBSD compatibility code.  Remove support for versions of
+      Linux before 2.6.  Start using Linux facilities.
+
+This README file addresses the Linux version of the driver. Under FreeBSD,
+the driver documentation is the sym.8 man page.
+
+Information about new chips is available at LSILOGIC web server:
+
+          http://www.lsilogic.com/
+
+SCSI standard documentations are available at T10 site:
+
+          http://www.t10.org/
+
+Useful SCSI tools written by Eric Youngdale are part of most Linux
+distributions:
+
+   ============ ==========================
+   scsiinfo     command line tool
+   scsi-config  TCL/Tk tool using scsiinfo
+   ============ ==========================
+
+2. Supported chips and SCSI features
+====================================
+
+The following features are supported for all chips:
+
+	- Synchronous negotiation
+	- Disconnection
+	- Tagged command queuing
+	- SCSI parity checking
+	- PCI Master parity checking
+
+Other features depends on chip capabilities.
+
+The driver notably uses optimized SCRIPTS for devices that support
+LOAD/STORE and handles PHASE MISMATCH from SCRIPTS for devices that
+support the corresponding feature.
+
+The following table shows some characteristics of the chip family.

+3. Advantages of this driver for newer chips.
+=============================================
+
+3.1 Optimized SCSI SCRIPTS
+--------------------------
+
+All chips except the 810, 815 and 825, support new SCSI SCRIPTS instructions
+named LOAD and STORE that allow to move up to 1 DWORD from/to an IO register
+to/from memory much faster that the MOVE MEMORY instruction that is supported
+by the 53c7xx and 53c8xx family.
+
+The LOAD/STORE instructions support absolute and DSA relative addressing
+modes. The SCSI SCRIPTS had been entirely rewritten using LOAD/STORE instead
+of MOVE MEMORY instructions.
+
+Due to the lack of LOAD/STORE SCRIPTS instructions by earlier chips, this
+driver also incorporates a different SCRIPTS set based on MEMORY MOVE, in
+order to provide support for the entire SYM53C8XX chips family.
+
+3.2 New features appeared with the SYM53C896
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Newer chips (see above) allows handling of the phase mismatch context from
+SCRIPTS (avoids the phase mismatch interrupt that stops the SCSI processor
+until the C code has saved the context of the transfer).
+
+The 896 and 1010 chips support 64 bit PCI transactions and addressing,
+while the 895A supports 32 bit PCI transactions and 64 bit addressing.
+The SCRIPTS processor of these chips is not true 64 bit, but uses segment
+registers for bit 32-63. Another interesting feature is that LOAD/STORE
+instructions that address the on-chip RAM (8k) remain internal to the chip.
+
+4. Memory mapped I/O versus normal I/O
+======================================
+
+Memory mapped I/O has less latency than normal I/O and is the recommended
+way for doing IO with PCI devices. Memory mapped I/O seems to work fine on
+most hardware configurations, but some poorly designed chipsets may break
+this feature. A configuration option is provided for normal I/O to be
+used but the driver defaults to MMIO.
+
+5. Tagged command queueing
+==========================
+
+Queuing more than 1 command at a time to a device allows it to perform
+optimizations based on actual head positions and its mechanical
+characteristics. This feature may also reduce average command latency.
+In order to really gain advantage of this feature, devices must have
+a reasonable cache size (No miracle is to be expected for a low-end
+hard disk with 128 KB or less).
+
+Some known old SCSI devices do not properly support tagged command queuing.
+Generally, firmware revisions that fix this kind of problems are available
+at respective vendor web/ftp sites.
+
+All I can say is that I never have had problem with tagged queuing using
+this driver and its predecessors. Hard disks that behaved correctly for
+me using tagged commands are the following:
+
+- IBM S12 0662
+- Conner 1080S
+- Quantum Atlas I
+- Quantum Atlas II
+- Seagate Cheetah I
+- Quantum Viking II
+- IBM DRVS
+- Quantum Atlas IV
+- Seagate Cheetah II
+
+If your controller has NVRAM, you can configure this feature per target
+from the user setup tool. The Tekram Setup program allows to tune the
+maximum number of queued commands up to 32. The Symbios Setup only allows
+to enable or disable this feature.
+
+The maximum number of simultaneous tagged commands queued to a device
+is currently set to 16 by default.  This value is suitable for most SCSI
+disks.  With large SCSI disks (>= 2GB, cache >= 512KB, average seek time
+<= 10 ms), using a larger value may give better performances.
+
+This driver supports up to 255 commands per device, and but using more than
+64 is generally not worth-while, unless you are using a very large disk or
+disk arrays. It is noticeable that most of recent hard disks seem not to
+accept more than 64 simultaneous commands. So, using more than 64 queued
+commands is probably just resource wasting.
+
+If your controller does not have NVRAM or if it is managed by the SDMS
+BIOS/SETUP, you can configure tagged queueing feature and device queue
+depths from the boot command-line. For example::
+
+  sym53c8xx=tags:4/t2t3q15-t4q7/t1u0q32
+
+will set tagged commands queue depths as follow:
+
+- target 2  all luns  on controller 0 --> 15
+- target 3  all luns  on controller 0 --> 15
+- target 4  all luns  on controller 0 -->  7
+- target 1  lun 0     on controller 1 --> 32
+- all other target/lun                -->  4
+
+In some special conditions, some SCSI disk firmwares may return a
+QUEUE FULL status for a SCSI command. This behaviour is managed by the
+driver using the following heuristic:
+
+- Each time a QUEUE FULL status is returned, tagged queue depth is reduced
+  to the actual number of disconnected commands.
+
+- Every 200 successfully completed SCSI commands, if allowed by the
+  current limit, the maximum number of queueable commands is incremented.
+
+Since QUEUE FULL status reception and handling is resource wasting, the
+driver notifies by default this problem to user by indicating the actual
+number of commands used and their status, as well as its decision on the
+device queue depth change.
+The heuristic used by the driver in handling QUEUE FULL ensures that the
+impact on performances is not too bad. You can get rid of the messages by
+setting verbose level to zero, as follow:
+
+1st method:
+	    boot your system using 'sym53c8xx=verb:0' option.
+2nd method:
+	    apply "setverbose 0" control command to the proc fs entry
+            corresponding to your controller after boot-up.
+
+6. Parity checking
+==================
+
+The driver supports SCSI parity checking and PCI bus master parity
+checking.  These features must be enabled in order to ensure safe
+data transfers.  Some flawed devices or mother boards may have problems
+with parity.  The options to defeat parity checking have been removed
+from the driver.
+
+7. Profiling information
+========================
+
+This driver does not provide profiling information as did its predecessors.
+This feature was not this useful and added complexity to the code.
+As the driver code got more complex, I have decided to remove everything
+that didn't seem actually useful.
+
+8. Control commands
+===================
+
+Control commands can be sent to the driver with write operations to
+the proc SCSI file system. The generic command syntax is the
+following::
+
+      echo "<verb> <parameters>" >/proc/scsi/sym53c8xx/0
+      (assumes controller number is 0)
+
+Using "all" for "<target>" parameter with the commands below will
+apply to all targets of the SCSI chain (except the controller).
+
+Available commands:
+
+8.1 Set minimum synchronous period factor
+-----------------------------------------
+
+    setsync <target> <period factor>
+
+    :target:   target number
+    :period:   minimum synchronous period.
+               Maximum speed = 1000/(4*period factor) except for special
+               cases below.
+
+    Specify a period of 0, to force asynchronous transfer mode.
+
+     -  9 means 12.5 nano-seconds synchronous period
+     - 10 means 25 nano-seconds synchronous period
+     - 11 means 30 nano-seconds synchronous period
+     - 12 means 50 nano-seconds synchronous period
+
+8.2 Set wide size
+-----------------
+
+    setwide <target> <size>
+
+    :target:   target number
+    :size:     0=8 bits, 1=16bits
+
+8.3 Set maximum number of concurrent tagged commands
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+    settags <target> <tags>
+
+    :target:   target number
+    :tags:     number of concurrent tagged commands
+               must not be greater than configured (default: 16)
+
+8.4 Set debug mode
+------------------
+
+    setdebug <list of debug flags>
+
+    Available debug flags:
+
+	======== ========================================================
+        alloc    print info about memory allocations (ccb, lcb)
+        queue    print info about insertions into the command start queue
+        result   print sense data on CHECK CONDITION status
+        scatter  print info about the scatter process
+        scripts  print info about the script binding process
+	tiny     print minimal debugging information
+	timing   print timing information of the NCR chip
+	nego     print information about SCSI negotiations
+	phase    print information on script interruptions
+	======== ========================================================
+
+    Use "setdebug" with no argument to reset debug flags.
+
+
+8.5 Set flag (no_disc)
+----------------------
+
+    setflag <target> <flag>
+
+    :target:    target number
+
+    For the moment, only one flag is available:
+
+        no_disc:   not allow target to disconnect.
+
+    Do not specify any flag in order to reset the flag. For example:
+
+    setflag 4
+      will reset no_disc flag for target 4, so will allow it disconnections.
+    setflag all
+      will allow disconnection for all devices on the SCSI bus.
+
+
+8.6 Set verbose level
+---------------------
+
+    setverbose #level
+
+    The driver default verbose level is 1. This command allows to change
+    th driver verbose level after boot-up.
+
+8.7 Reset all logical units of a target
+---------------------------------------
+
+    resetdev <target>
+
+    :target:    target number
+
+    The driver will try to send a BUS DEVICE RESET message to the target.
+
+8.8 Abort all tasks of all logical units of a target
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+    cleardev <target>
+
+    :target:    target number
+
+    The driver will try to send a ABORT message to all the logical units
+    of the target.
+
+
+9. Configuration parameters
+===========================
+
+Under kernel configuration tools (make menuconfig, for example), it is
+possible to change some default driver configuration parameters.
+If the firmware of all your devices is perfect enough, all the
+features supported by the driver can be enabled at start-up. However,
+if only one has a flaw for some SCSI feature, you can disable the
+support by the driver of this feature at linux start-up and enable
+this feature after boot-up only for devices that support it safely.
+
+Configuration parameters:
+
+Use normal IO                         (default answer: n)
+    Answer "y" if you suspect your mother board to not allow memory mapped I/O.
+    May slow down performance a little.
+
+Default tagged command queue depth    (default answer: 16)
+    Entering 0 defaults to tagged commands not being used.
+    This parameter can be specified from the boot command line.
+
+Maximum number of queued commands     (default answer: 32)
+    This option allows you to specify the maximum number of tagged commands
+    that can be queued to a device. The maximum supported value is 255.
+
+Synchronous transfers frequency       (default answer: 80)
+    This option allows you to specify the frequency in MHz the driver
+    will use at boot time for synchronous data transfer negotiations.
+    0 means "asynchronous data transfers".
+
+10. Boot setup commands
+=======================
+
+10.1 Syntax
+-----------
+
+Setup commands can be passed to the driver either at boot time or as
+parameters to modprobe, as described in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst
+
+Example of boot setup command under lilo prompt::
+
+    lilo: linux root=/dev/sda2 sym53c8xx.cmd_per_lun=4 sym53c8xx.sync=10 sym53c8xx.debug=0x200
+
+- enable tagged commands, up to 4 tagged commands queued.
+- set synchronous negotiation speed to 10 Mega-transfers / second.
+- set DEBUG_NEGO flag.
+
+The following command will install the driver module with the same
+options as above::
+
+    modprobe sym53c8xx cmd_per_lun=4 sync=10 debug=0x200
+
+10.2 Available arguments
+------------------------
+
+10.2.1  Default number of tagged commands
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+        - cmd_per_lun=0 (or cmd_per_lun=1) tagged command queuing disabled
+        - cmd_per_lun=#tags (#tags > 1) tagged command queuing enabled
+
+  #tags will be truncated to the max queued commands configuration parameter.
+
+10.2.2 Burst max
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	========== ======================================================
+        burst=0    burst disabled
+        burst=255  get burst length from initial IO register settings.
+        burst=#x   burst enabled (1<<#x burst transfers max)
+
+		   #x is an integer value which is log base 2 of the burst
+		   transfers max.
+	========== ======================================================
+
+  By default the driver uses the maximum value supported by the chip.
+
+10.2.3 LED support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	=====      ===================
+        led=1      enable  LED support
+        led=0      disable LED support
+	=====      ===================
+
+  Do not enable LED support if your scsi board does not use SDMS BIOS.
+  (See 'Configuration parameters')
+
+10.2.4 Differential mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	======	=================================
+	diff=0	never set up diff mode
+        diff=1	set up diff mode if BIOS set it
+        diff=2	always set up diff mode
+        diff=3	set diff mode if GPIO3 is not set
+	======	=================================
+
+10.2.5 IRQ mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	======     ================================================
+        irqm=0     always open drain
+        irqm=1     same as initial settings (assumed BIOS settings)
+        irqm=2     always totem pole
+	======     ================================================
+
+10.2.6 Check SCSI BUS
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+        buschk=<option bits>
+
+    Available option bits:
+
+	===    ================================================
+        0x0    No check.
+        0x1    Check and do not attach the controller on error.
+        0x2    Check and just warn on error.
+	===    ================================================
+
+10.2.7 Suggest a default SCSI id for hosts
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	==========	==========================================
+        hostid=255	no id suggested.
+        hostid=#x	(0 < x < 7) x suggested for hosts SCSI id.
+	==========	==========================================
+
+    If a host SCSI id is available from the NVRAM, the driver will ignore
+    any value suggested as boot option. Otherwise, if a suggested value
+    different from 255 has been supplied, it will use it. Otherwise, it will
+    try to deduce the value previously set in the hardware and use value
+    7 if the hardware value is zero.
+
+10.2.8  Verbosity level
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	======     ========
+        verb=0     minimal
+        verb=1     normal
+        verb=2     too much
+	======     ========
+
+10.2.9 Debug mode
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	=========   ====================================
+        debug=0	    clear debug flags
+        debug=#x    set debug flags
+
+		    #x is an integer value combining the
+		    following power-of-2 values:
+
+		    =============  ======
+		    DEBUG_ALLOC       0x1
+		    DEBUG_PHASE       0x2
+		    DEBUG_POLL        0x4
+		    DEBUG_QUEUE       0x8
+		    DEBUG_RESULT     0x10
+		    DEBUG_SCATTER    0x20
+		    DEBUG_SCRIPT     0x40
+		    DEBUG_TINY       0x80
+		    DEBUG_TIMING    0x100
+		    DEBUG_NEGO      0x200
+		    DEBUG_TAGS      0x400
+		    DEBUG_FREEZE    0x800
+		    DEBUG_RESTART  0x1000
+		    =============  ======
+	=========   ====================================
+
+  You can play safely with DEBUG_NEGO. However, some of these flags may
+  generate bunches of syslog messages.
+
+10.2.10 Settle delay
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	========	===================
+        settle=n	delay for n seconds
+	========	===================
+
+  After a bus reset, the driver will delay for n seconds before talking
+  to any device on the bus.  The default is 3 seconds and safe mode will
+  default it to 10.
+
+10.2.11 Serial NVRAM
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+	.. Note:: option not currently implemented.
+
+	=======     =========================================
+        nvram=n     do not look for serial NVRAM
+        nvram=y     test controllers for onboard serial NVRAM
+	=======     =========================================
+
+        (alternate binary form)
+
+        nvram=<bits options>
+
+        ====   =================================================================
+        0x01   look for NVRAM  (equivalent to nvram=y)
+        0x02   ignore NVRAM "Synchronous negotiation" parameters for all devices
+        0x04   ignore NVRAM "Wide negotiation"  parameter for all devices
+        0x08   ignore NVRAM "Scan at boot time" parameter for all devices
+        0x80   also attach controllers set to OFF in the NVRAM (sym53c8xx only)
+        ====   =================================================================
+
+10.2.12 Exclude a host from being attached
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+        excl=<io_address>,...
+
+    Prevent host at a given io address from being attached.
+    For example 'excl=0xb400,0xc000' indicate to the
+    driver not to attach hosts at address 0xb400 and 0xc000.
+
+10.3 Converting from old style options
+--------------------------------------
+
+Previously, the sym2 driver accepted arguments of the form::
+
+	sym53c8xx=tags:4,sync:10,debug:0x200
+
+As a result of the new module parameters, this is no longer available.
+Most of the options have remained the same, but tags has become
+cmd_per_lun to reflect its different purposes.  The sample above would
+be specified as::
+
+	modprobe sym53c8xx cmd_per_lun=4 sync=10 debug=0x200
+
+or on the kernel boot line as::
+
+	sym53c8xx.cmd_per_lun=4 sym53c8xx.sync=10 sym53c8xx.debug=0x200
+
+10.4 SCSI BUS checking boot option
+----------------------------------
+
+When this option is set to a non-zero value, the driver checks SCSI lines
+logic state, 100 micro-seconds after having asserted the SCSI RESET line.
+The driver just reads SCSI lines and checks all lines read FALSE except RESET.
+Since SCSI devices shall release the BUS at most 800 nano-seconds after SCSI
+RESET has been asserted, any signal to TRUE may indicate a SCSI BUS problem.
+Unfortunately, the following common SCSI BUS problems are not detected:
+
+- Only 1 terminator installed.
+- Misplaced terminators.
+- Bad quality terminators.
+
+On the other hand, either bad cabling, broken devices, not conformant
+devices, ... may cause a SCSI signal to be wrong when te driver reads it.
+
+15. SCSI problem troubleshooting
+================================
+
+15.1 Problem tracking
+---------------------
+
+Most SCSI problems are due to a non conformant SCSI bus or too buggy
+devices.  If unfortunately you have SCSI problems, you can check the
+following things:
+
+- SCSI bus cables
+- terminations at both end of the SCSI chain
+- linux syslog messages (some of them may help you)
+
+If you do not find the source of problems, you can configure the
+driver or devices in the NVRAM with minimal features.
+
+- only asynchronous data transfers
+- tagged commands disabled
+- disconnections not allowed
+
+Now, if your SCSI bus is ok, your system has every chance to work
+with this safe configuration but performances will not be optimal.
+
+If it still fails, then you can send your problem description to
+appropriate mailing lists or news-groups.  Send me a copy in order to
+be sure I will receive it.  Obviously, a bug in the driver code is
+possible.
+
+  My current email address: Gerard Roudier <groudier@free.fr>
+
+Allowing disconnections is important if you use several devices on
+your SCSI bus but often causes problems with buggy devices.
+Synchronous data transfers increases throughput of fast devices like
+hard disks.  Good SCSI hard disks with a large cache gain advantage of
+tagged commands queuing.
+
+15.2 Understanding hardware error reports
+-----------------------------------------
+
+When the driver detects an unexpected error condition, it may display a
+message of the following pattern::
+
+    sym0:1: ERROR (0:48) (1-21-65) (f/95/0) @ (script 7c0:19000000).
+    sym0: script cmd = 19000000
+    sym0: regdump: da 10 80 95 47 0f 01 07 75 01 81 21 80 01 09 00.
+
+Some fields in such a message may help you understand the cause of the
+problem, as follows::
+
+    sym0:1: ERROR (0:48) (1-21-65) (f/95/0) @ (script 7c0:19000000).
+    .....A.........B.C....D.E..F....G.H..I.......J.....K...L.......
+
+Field A : target number.
+  SCSI ID of the device the controller was talking with at the moment the
+  error occurs.
+
+Field B : DSTAT io register (DMA STATUS)
+  ========   =============================================================
+  Bit 0x40   MDPE Master Data Parity Error
+             Data parity error detected on the PCI BUS.
+  Bit 0x20   BF   Bus Fault
+             PCI bus fault condition detected
+  Bit 0x01   IID  Illegal Instruction Detected
+             Set by the chip when it detects an Illegal Instruction format
+             on some condition that makes an instruction illegal.
+  Bit 0x80   DFE Dma Fifo Empty
+             Pure status bit that does not indicate an error.
+  ========   =============================================================
+
+  If the reported DSTAT value contains a combination of MDPE (0x40),
+  BF (0x20), then the cause may be likely due to a PCI BUS problem.
+
+Field C : SIST io register (SCSI Interrupt Status)
+  ========   ==================================================================
+  Bit 0x08   SGE  SCSI GROSS ERROR
+             Indicates that the chip detected a severe error condition
+             on the SCSI BUS that prevents the SCSI protocol from functioning
+             properly.
+  Bit 0x04   UDC  Unexpected Disconnection
+             Indicates that the device released the SCSI BUS when the chip
+             was not expecting this to happen. A device may behave so to
+             indicate the SCSI initiator that an error condition not reportable              using the SCSI protocol has occurred.
+  Bit 0x02   RST  SCSI BUS Reset
+             Generally SCSI targets do not reset the SCSI BUS, although any
+             device on the BUS can reset it at any time.
+  Bit 0x01   PAR  Parity
+             SCSI parity error detected.
+  ========   ==================================================================
+
+  On a faulty SCSI BUS, any error condition among SGE (0x08), UDC (0x04) and
+  PAR (0x01) may be detected by the chip. If your SCSI system sometimes
+  encounters such error conditions, especially SCSI GROSS ERROR, then a SCSI
+  BUS problem is likely the cause of these errors.
+
+For fields D,E,F,G and H, you may look into the sym53c8xx_defs.h file
+that contains some minimal comments on IO register bits.
+
+Field D : SOCL  Scsi Output Control Latch
+          This register reflects the state of the SCSI control lines the
+          chip want to drive or compare against.
+Field E : SBCL  Scsi Bus Control Lines
+          Actual value of control lines on the SCSI BUS.
+Field F : SBDL  Scsi Bus Data Lines
+          Actual value of data lines on the SCSI BUS.
+Field G : SXFER  SCSI Transfer
+          Contains the setting of the Synchronous Period for output and
+          the current Synchronous offset (offset 0 means asynchronous).
+Field H : SCNTL3 Scsi Control Register 3
+          Contains the setting of timing values for both asynchronous and
+          synchronous data transfers.
+Field I : SCNTL4 Scsi Control Register 4
+          Only meaningful for 53C1010 Ultra3 controllers.
+
+Understanding Fields J, K, L and dumps requires to have good knowledge of
+SCSI standards, chip cores functionnals and internal driver data structures.
+You are not required to decode and understand them, unless you want to help
+maintain the driver code.
+
+17. Serial NVRAM (added by Richard Waltham: dormouse@farsrobt.demon.co.uk)
+==========================================================================
+
+17.1 Features
+-------------
+
+Enabling serial NVRAM support enables detection of the serial NVRAM included
+on Symbios and some Symbios compatible host adaptors, and Tekram boards. The
+serial NVRAM is used by Symbios and Tekram to hold set up parameters for the
+host adaptor and its attached drives.
+
+The Symbios NVRAM also holds data on the boot order of host adaptors in a
+system with more than one host adaptor.  This information is no longer used
+as it's fundamentally incompatible with the hotplug PCI model.
+
+Tekram boards using Symbios chips, DC390W/F/U, which have NVRAM are detected
+and this is used to distinguish between Symbios compatible and Tekram host
+adaptors. This is used to disable the Symbios compatible "diff" setting
+incorrectly set on Tekram boards if the CONFIG_SCSI_53C8XX_SYMBIOS_COMPAT
+configuration parameter is set enabling both Symbios and Tekram boards to be
+used together with the Symbios cards using all their features, including
+"diff" support. ("led pin" support for Symbios compatible cards can remain
+enabled when using Tekram cards. It does nothing useful for Tekram host
+adaptors but does not cause problems either.)
+
+The parameters the driver is able to get from the NVRAM depend on the

+In order to speed up the system boot, for each device configured without
+the "scan at boot time" option, the driver forces an error on the

+tcm_qla2xxx jam_host attribute
+------------------------------
+There is now a new module endpoint atribute called jam_host
+attribute::
+
+	jam_host: boolean=0/1
+
+This attribute and accompanying code is only included if the
+Kconfig parameter TCM_QLA2XXX_DEBUG is set to Y
+
+By default this jammer code and functionality is disabled
+
+Use this attribute to control the discarding of SCSI commands to a
+selected host.
+
+This may be useful for testing error handling and simulating slow drain
+and other fabric issues.
+
+Setting a boolean of 1 for the jam_host attribute for a particular host
+will discard the commands for that host.
+
+Reset back to 0 to stop the jamming.
+
+Enable host 4 to be jammed::
+
+  echo 1 > /sys/kernel/config/target/qla2xxx/21:00:00:24:ff:27:8f:ae/tpgt_1/attrib/jam_host

+1. Overview
+===========
+
+Universal Flash Storage(UFS) is a storage specification for flash devices.
+It is aimed to provide a universal storage interface for both
+embedded and removable flash memory based storage in mobile
+devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. The specification
+is defined by JEDEC Solid State Technology Association. UFS is based
+on MIPI M-PHY physical layer standard. UFS uses MIPI M-PHY as the
+physical layer and MIPI Unipro as the link layer.
+
+The main goals of UFS is to provide:
+
+ * Optimized performance:
+
+   For UFS version 1.0 and 1.1 the target performance is as follows:
+
+   - Support for Gear1 is mandatory (rate A: 1248Mbps, rate B: 1457.6Mbps)
+   - Support for Gear2 is optional (rate A: 2496Mbps, rate B: 2915.2Mbps)
+
+   Future version of the standard,
+
+   - Gear3 (rate A: 4992Mbps, rate B: 5830.4Mbps)
+
+ * Low power consumption
+ * High random IOPs and low latency
+
+
+2. UFS Architecture Overview
+============================
+
+UFS has a layered communication architecture which is based on SCSI
+SAM-5 architectural model.
+
+UFS communication architecture consists of following layers,
+
+2.1 Application Layer
+---------------------
+
+  The Application layer is composed of UFS command set layer(UCS),
+  Task Manager and Device manager. The UFS interface is designed to be
+  protocol agnostic, however SCSI has been selected as a baseline
+  protocol for versions 1.0 and 1.1 of UFS protocol  layer.
+
+  UFS supports subset of SCSI commands defined by SPC-4 and SBC-3.
+
+  * UCS:
+     It handles SCSI commands supported by UFS specification.
+  * Task manager:
+     It handles task management functions defined by the
+     UFS which are meant for command queue control.
+  * Device manager:
+     It handles device level operations and device
+     configuration operations. Device level operations mainly involve
+     device power management operations and commands to Interconnect
+     layers. Device level configurations involve handling of query
+     requests which are used to modify and retrieve configuration
+     information of the device.
+
+2.2 UFS Transport Protocol(UTP) layer
+-------------------------------------
+
+  UTP layer provides services for
+  the higher layers through Service Access Points. UTP defines 3
+  service access points for higher layers.
+
+  * UDM_SAP: Device manager service access point is exposed to device
+    manager for device level operations. These device level operations
+    are done through query requests.
+  * UTP_CMD_SAP: Command service access point is exposed to UFS command
+    set layer(UCS) to transport commands.
+  * UTP_TM_SAP: Task management service access point is exposed to task
+    manager to transport task management functions.
+
+  UTP transports messages through UFS protocol information unit(UPIU).
+
+2.3 UFS Interconnect(UIC) Layer
+-------------------------------
+
+  UIC is the lowest layer of UFS layered architecture. It handles
+  connection between UFS host and UFS device. UIC consists of
+  MIPI UniPro and MIPI M-PHY. UIC provides 2 service access points
+  to upper layer,
+
+  * UIC_SAP: To transport UPIU between UFS host and UFS device.
+  * UIO_SAP: To issue commands to Unipro layers.
+
+
+3. UFSHCD Overview
+==================
+
+The UFS host controller driver is based on Linux SCSI Framework.
+UFSHCD is a low level device driver which acts as an interface between
+SCSI Midlayer and PCIe based UFS host controllers.
+
+The current UFSHCD implementation supports following functionality,
+
+3.1 UFS controller initialization
+---------------------------------
+
+  The initialization module brings UFS host controller to active state
+  and prepares the controller to transfer commands/response between
+  UFSHCD and UFS device.
+
+3.2 UTP Transfer requests
+-------------------------
+
+  Transfer request handling module of UFSHCD receives SCSI commands
+  from SCSI Midlayer, forms UPIUs and issues the UPIUs to UFS Host
+  controller. Also, the module decodes, responses received from UFS
+  host controller in the form of UPIUs and intimates the SCSI Midlayer
+  of the status of the command.
+
+3.3 UFS error handling
+----------------------
+
+  Error handling module handles Host controller fatal errors,
+  Device fatal errors and UIC interconnect layer related errors.
+
+3.4 SCSI Error handling
+-----------------------
+
+  This is done through UFSHCD SCSI error handling routines registered
+  with SCSI Midlayer. Examples of some of the error handling commands
+  issues by SCSI Midlayer are Abort task, Lun reset and host reset.
+  UFSHCD Routines to perform these tasks are registered with
+  SCSI Midlayer through .eh_abort_handler, .eh_device_reset_handler and
+  .eh_host_reset_handler.
+
+In this version of UFSHCD Query requests and power management
+functionality are not implemented.
+
+4. BSG Support
+==============
+
+This transport driver supports exchanging UFS protocol information units
+(UPIUs) with a UFS device. Typically, user space will allocate
+struct ufs_bsg_request and struct ufs_bsg_reply (see ufs_bsg.h) as
+request_upiu and reply_upiu respectively.  Filling those UPIUs should
+be done in accordance with JEDEC spec UFS2.1 paragraph 10.7.
+*Caveat emptor*: The driver makes no further input validations and sends the
+UPIU to the device as it is.  Open the bsg device in /dev/ufs-bsg and
+send SG_IO with the applicable sg_io_v4::
+
+	io_hdr_v4.guard = 'Q';
+	io_hdr_v4.protocol = BSG_PROTOCOL_SCSI;
+	io_hdr_v4.subprotocol = BSG_SUB_PROTOCOL_SCSI_TRANSPORT;
+	io_hdr_v4.response = (__u64)reply_upiu;
+	io_hdr_v4.max_response_len = reply_len;
+	io_hdr_v4.request_len = request_len;
+	io_hdr_v4.request = (__u64)request_upiu;
+	if (dir == SG_DXFER_TO_DEV) {
+		io_hdr_v4.dout_xfer_len = (uint32_t)byte_cnt;
+		io_hdr_v4.dout_xferp = (uintptr_t)(__u64)buff;
+	} else {
+		io_hdr_v4.din_xfer_len = (uint32_t)byte_cnt;
+		io_hdr_v4.din_xferp = (uintptr_t)(__u64)buff;
+	}
+
+If you wish to read or write a descriptor, use the appropriate xferp of
+sg_io_v4.
+
+The userspace tool that interacts with the ufs-bsg endpoint and uses its
+upiu-based protocol is available at:
+
+	https://github.com/westerndigitalcorporation/ufs-tool
+
+For more detailed information about the tool and its supported
+features, please see the tool's README.

+d719x-wcs.bin files. Put them in /lib/firmware/::
+
+	#!/bin/sh
+	wget http://support.wdc.com/download/archive/pciscsi.exe
+	lha xi pciscsi.exe pci-scsi.exe
