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 didn't 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 arbitration 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 hasn't 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 conditioned by verbose >= 3. - - Do not 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 usable 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 usable). - 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 conditioned 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).
