lock up under moderate to heavy load.
The status & command fields share a 32-bit longword. The programming
API of the eepro apparently requires that you update the command field
of a transmit slot that you've already given to the card. This means
the card could be updating the status field of the same longword at
the same time. Since alphas can only operate on 32-bit chunks of
memory, both the status & command fields are loaded from memory &
operated on in registers when the following line of C is executed:
sc->cbl_last->cb_command &= ~FXP_CB_COMMAND_S;
The race is caused by the card DMA'ing up the status at just the wrong
time -- after it has been loaded into a register & before it has been
written back. The old value of the status is written back, clobbering
the status the card just DMA'ed up. The fact that the card has sent
this frame is missed & the transmit engine appears to hang.
Luckily, as numerous people on the freebsd-alpha list pointed out, the
load-locked/store-conditional instructions used by the atomic
functions work with respect changes in memory due to I/O devices. We
now use them to safely update the command field.

o Normalize copyright text.
o Clean up probe code function interfaces by passing around a single
structure of common arguments instead of passing "too many" args
in each function call.
o Add support for the AAA-131 as a SCSI adapter.
o Add support for the AHA-4944 courtesy of "Matthew N. Dodd" <winter@jurai.net
o Correct manual termination support for PCI cards. The bit definitions
for manual termination control in the SEEPROM were incorrect.
o Add support for extracting NVRAM information from SCB 2 for BIOSen
that use this mechanism to pass this data to OS drivers.
o Properly set the STPWLEVEL bit in PCI config space based on the
setting in an SEEPROM.
o Go back to useing 32byte SCBs for all controllers. The current
firmware allows us to embed 12byte cdbs on all controllers in
a 32byte SCB, and larger cdbs are rarely used, so it is a
better use of this space to offer more SCBs (32).
o Add support for U160 transfers.
o Add an idle loop executed during data transfers that prefetches
S/G segments on controllers that have a secondary DMA engine
(aic789X).
o Improve the performance of reselections by avoiding an extra
one byte DMA in the case of an SCB lookup miss for the reselecting
target. We now keep a 16byte "untagged target" array on the card
for dealing with untagged reselections. If the controller has
external SCB ram and can support 64byte SCBs, then we use an
"untagged target/lun" array to maximize concurrency. Without
external SCB ram, the controller is limited to one untagged
transaction per target, auto-request sense operations excluded.
o Correct the setup of the STPWEN bit in SXFRCTL1. This control
line is tri-stated until set to one, so set it to one and then
set it to the desired value.
o Add tagged queuing support to our target role implementation.
o Handle the common cases of the ignore wide residue message
in firmware.
o Add preliminary support for 39bit addressing.
o Add support for assembling on big-endian machines. Big-endian
support is not complete in the driver.
o Correctly remove SCBs in the waiting for selection queue when
freezing a device queue.
o Now that we understand more about the autoflush bug on the
aic7890, only use the workaround on devices that need it.
o Add a workaround for the "aic7890 hangs the system when you
attempt to pause it" problem. We can now pause the aic7890
safely regardless of what instruction it is executing.

when we're done reading it (makes checking things easier).
Before calling isp_notify_ack make sure we're at RUNSTATE-
elsewise we can be responding to LIPs or SCSI bus resets
before we've finished some of the wiring.
we need a function that tells the Qlogic f/w that a target mode command
is done, so increase the resource count for that lun. Add in a timeout
function to kick the putback again if we fail to do it the first time (we
may not have the request queue space for ATIO push). Split the function
isp_handle_platform_ctio into two parts so that the timeout function for
the ATIO push or isp_handle_platform_ctio can inform CAM that the requested
CTIO(s) are now done.
Clean up (cough) residual handling. What we need for Fibre Channel
is to preserve the at_datalen field from the original incoming ATIO
so we can calculate a 'true' residual. Unfortunately, we're not
guaranteed to get that back from CAM. We'll *try* to find it hiding
in the periph_priv field (layering violation)- but if an ATIO was
passed in from user land- forget it. This means that we'll probably
get residuals wrong for Fibre Channel commands we're completing
with an error. It's too late to 4.1 release to fix this- too bad.
Luckily the only device we'd really care about this occurring on
is a tape device and they're still so rare as FC attached devices
that this can be considered an untested combination anyway.
Remove all CCINCR usage (resource autoreplenish). When we've proved
to ourself that things are working properly, we can add it back
in.
Make sure we propage 'suggested' sense data from the incoming ATIO
into the created system ATIO- and set sense_len appropriately.
Correctly propagate tag values.
Fall back to the model of generating (well, the functions in isp_pci.c
do the work) multiple CTIOs based upon what we get from XPT. Instead
of being able to pair Qlogic generated ATIOs with CAM ATIOs, and then
to pair CAM CTIOs with Qlogic CTIOs, we have to take the CTIO passed
to us from XPT, and if it implies that we have to generate extra
Qlogic CTIOs, so be it. This means that we have to wait until the
last CTIO in a sequence we generated completes before calling xpt_done.
Executive summary- target mode actually now pretty much works well

the gating of system calls that cause modifications to the underlying
filesystem. The gating can be enabled by any filesystem that needs
to consistently suspend operations by adding the vop_stdgetwritemount
to their set of vnops. Once gating is enabled, the function
vfs_write_suspend stops all new write operations to a filesystem,
allows any filesystem modifying system calls already in progress
to complete, then sync's the filesystem to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
begin again. Gating is not added by default for all filesystems as
for SMP systems it adds two extra locks to such critical kernel
paths as the write system call. Thus, gating should only be added
as needed.
