![]() When removing a port, the ioctl frontend requires the "-p" argument. But other frontends, like cfiscsi, do not. So don't require that argument in the ctladm command. The frontend driver will report an error if any required argument is missing.

FreeBSD Quirk Guidelines Nate Lawson - njl at freebsd org 0. Introduction FreeBSD drivers make every attempt possible to support the standards behind hardware. Where possible and not in conflict with the standard, they also attempt to work around hardware which doesn't strictly conform. However, some devices have flaws which can't be worked around while keeping the driver compatible with the standard. For these devices, we have created a quirks mechanism to indicate to the driver that it must avoid certain commands or use them differently with a specific model and/or version of hardware. This document focuses on identifying and committing quirks for storage hardware involving CAM and UMASS but is applicable to other areas. CAM provides a generic transport for SCSI-like devices. Many different transports use SCSI command sets including parallel SCSI, firewire (1394), USB UMASS, fibre channel, and ATAPI. For block devices (i.e. hard drives, flash adapters, cameras) there are two standards, SBC and RBC. SCSI hard drives are usually SBC-compliant and smaller devices like flash drives are usually RBC-compliant. Multimedia devices including CDROMs and DVD-RW are usually MMC-compliant. Please follow these guidelines to get your device working as soon as possible. If you are a committer, please do NOT commit quirks directly but follow this process also. 1. Determing the problem The first step is to determine what's wrong. If the device should be supported but hangs while attaching, it's possible a quirk can help. The types of things a quirk can fix are: ` * cam/cam_xpt.c quirks o CAM_QUIRK_NOLUNS - do not probe luns other than 0 since device responds to all inquiries with "lun present". o CAM_QUIRK_NOSERIAL - do not send an inquiry for serial number. o CAM_QUIRK_HILUNS - probe all luns even if some respond "not present" since device has a sparse lun space. * cam/scsi/scsi_da.c quirks o DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE - The sync cache command is used to force a drive to write out all changes to disk before shutting down. Some drives hang when receiving this command even though it is required by all SBC and RBC standards. Note that a warning message on console is NOT sufficient to add this quirk. The warning messages are harmless and only a device or system hang is cause for adding this quirk. o DA_Q_NO_6_BYTE - The RBC spec (see Links below) does not allow for 6-byte READ/WRITE commands. Some manufacturers took that too literally and crash when receiving 6-byte commands. This quirk causes FreeBSD to only send 10-byte commands. Since the CAM subsystem has been modified to not send 6-byte commands to USB, 1394, and other transports that don't support SBC, this quirk should be very rare. o DA_Q_NO_PREVENT - Don't use the prevent/allow commands to keep a removable medium from being ejected. Some systems can't handle these commands (rare). * cam/scsi/scsi_cd.c quirks o CD_Q_NO_TOUCH - not implemented o CD_Q_BCD_TRACKS - convert start/end track to BCD o CD_Q_NO_CHANGER - never treat as a changer o CD_Q_CHANGER - always treat as a changer * cam/scsi/scsi_ch.c quirks o CH_Q_NO_DBD - disable block descriptors in mode sense * cam/scsi/scsi_sa.c quirks o SA_QUIRK_NOCOMP - Can't deal with compression at all o SA_QUIRK_FIXED - Force fixed mode o SA_QUIRK_VARIABLE - Force variable mode o SA_QUIRK_2FM - Needs Two File Marks at EOD o SA_QUIRK_1FM - No more than 1 File Mark at EOD o SA_QUIRK_NODREAD - Don't try and dummy read density o SA_QUIRK_NO_MODESEL - Don't do mode select at all o SA_QUIRK_NO_CPAGE - Don't use DEVICE COMPRESSION page * dev/usb/umass.c quirks o NO_TEST_UNIT_READY - The drive does not support Test Unit Ready. Convert to Start Unit. This command is a simple no-op for most firmware but some of them hang when this command is sent. o RS_NO_CLEAR_UA - The drive does not reset the Unit Attention state after REQUEST SENSE has been sent. The INQUIRY command does not reset the UA either, and so CAM runs in circles trying to retrieve the initial INQUIRY data. This quirk signifies that after a unit attention condition, don't try to clear the condition with a request sense command. o NO_START_STOP - Like test unit ready, don't send this command if it hangs the device. o FORCE_SHORT_INQUIRY - Don't ask for full inquiry data (256 bytes). Some drives can only handle the shorter inquiry length (36 bytes). o SHUTTLE_INIT - Needs to be initialised the Shuttle way. Haven't looked into what this does but apparently it's mostly Shuttle devices. o ALT_IFACE_1 - Drive needs to be switched to alternate interface 1. Rare. o FLOPPY_SPEED - Drive does not do 1Mb/s, but just floppy speeds (20kb/s). o IGNORE_RESIDUE - The device can't count and gets the residue of transfers wrong. This is sometimes needed for devices where large transfers cause stalls. o NO_GETMAXLUN - Get maximum LUN is a command to identify multiple devices sharing the same ID. For instance, a multislot compact flash reader might be on two LUNS. Some non-standard devices hang when receiving this command so this quirk disables it. o WRONG_CSWSIG - The device uses a weird CSWSIGNATURE. Rare. o NO_INQUIRY - Device cannot handle INQUIRY so fake a generic response. INQUIRY is one of the most basic commands but some drives can't even handle it. (No idea how such devices even work at all on other OS's.) This quirk fakes up a valid but generic response for devices that can't handle INQUIRY. o NO_INQUIRY_EVPD - Device cannot handle an extended INQUIRY asking for vital product data (EVPD) so just return a "no data" response (check condition) without sending the command to the device. 2. Testing a Quirk After you have an idea what you want to try, edit the proper file above, using wildcarding to be sure your device is matched. Here is a list of the common things to try. Note that some devices require multiple quirks or quirks in different drivers. For example, some USB pen drives or flash readers require quirks in both da(4) and umass(4). * umass(4) device (sys/dev/usb/umass.c) -- this quirk matches an Asahi Optical device with any product ID or revision ID. * * { USB_VENDOR_ASAHIOPTICAL, PID_WILDCARD, RID_WILDCARD, * UMASS_PROTO_ATAPI | UMASS_PROTO_CBI_I, * RS_NO_CLEAR_UA * }, * da(4) device (sys/cam/scsi/scsi_da.c) -- this quirk matches a Creative device with a name of "NOMAD_MUVO" and any revision. * * { * /* * * Creative Nomad MUVO mp3 player (USB) * * PR: kern/53094 * */ * {T_DIRECT, SIP_MEDIA_REMOVABLE, "CREATIVE", "NOMAD_MUVO", "*"}, * /*quirks*/ DA_Q_NO_SYNC_CACHE|DA_Q_NO_PREVENT * }, 3. Filing a PR All quirk submissions MUST go through GNATS. For information on how to submit a PR, see this page. Please include the following in your PR: * Subject: QUIRK: FooCo USB DVD-RAM drive * Output of "camcontrol inquiry yourdevice" * Manufacturer name, model number, etc. * Transport type (FC, SCSI, USB, Firewire) * Output from dmesg for failed attach attempts * Output from dmesg for successful attach attempts (after quirk added) * Output of "usbdevs -v" with device attached * Valid email address Here are some examples of well-formed PRs: * kern/43580 * kern/49054 4. What happens next I will review your submission, respond with comments, and once the quirk is deemed necessary and ready for committing, I'll commit it, referencing the PR. (Again, all quirks must be submitted as PRs). Questions? Email njl AT freebsd.org. 5. Note to Committers Please insert quirks in the right section in scsi_da.c, sorted by PR number. Always include the name and PR number for scsi_da.c (see above for an example.) Please sort quirks alphabetically in umass.c. Follow the surrounding style in all drivers. Be sure to correspond with the submitter to be sure the quirk you are adding is the minimum necessary, not quirking other useful features and not overly broad (i.e., too many wildcards).
