+			       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.

-			       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/ .
+
+    ::

+
+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.

+
+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.

+
+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.

-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.

-          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.

-        - 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)

-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

+   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:
+
+	    ::
+

-
-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.

-              Option: verbose
-          Definition: enable additional informative messages during
-                      driver operation.
-     Possible Values: This option is a flag
-       Default Value: disabled
-   -----------------------------------------------------------------
-              Option: debug:[value]
-          Definition: Enables various levels of debugging information
-     Possible Values: 0x0000 = no debugging, 0xffff = full debugging
-       Default Value: 0x0000
-   -----------------------------------------------------------------
-              Option: no_probe
-              Option: 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.
-   -----------------------------------------------------------------
-              Option: 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
-   -----------------------------------------------------------------
-              Option: no_reset
-          Definition: Do not reset the bus during the initial probe
-                      phase
-     Possible Values: This option is a flag
-       Default Value: disabled
-   -----------------------------------------------------------------
-              Option: extended
-          Definition: Force extended translation on the controller
-     Possible Values: This option is a flag
-       Default Value: disabled
-   -----------------------------------------------------------------
-              Option: 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
-   -----------------------------------------------------------------
-              Option: reverse_scan
-          Definition: Probe the scsi bus in reverse order, starting
-                      with target 15
-     Possible Values: This option is a flag
-       Default Value: disabled
-   -----------------------------------------------------------------
-              Option: 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
-   -----------------------------------------------------------------
-              Option: 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.
-            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 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.
-                        
-     Possible Values: 1 - 253
-       Default Value: 32
-   -----------------------------------------------------------------

-**	1. Message 0 --> InitThread message and return code
-**	2. Doorbell is used for RS-232 emulation
-**		inDoorBell :    bit0 -- data in ready
-**			(DRIVER DATA WRITE OK)
-**				bit1 -- data out has been read
-**			(DRIVER DATA READ OK)
-**		outDooeBell:    bit0 -- data out ready
-**			(IOP331 DATA WRITE OK)
-**				bit1 -- data in has been read
-**			(IOP331 DATA READ OK)
-**	3. Index Memory Usage
-**	offset 0xf00 : for RS232 out (request buffer)
-**	offset 0xe00 : for RS232 in  (scratch buffer)
-**	offset 0xa00 : for inbound message code message_rwbuffer
-**			(driver send to IOP331)
-**	offset 0xa00 : for outbound message code message_rwbuffer
-**			(IOP331 send to driver)
-**	4. RS-232 emulation
-**		Currently 128 byte buffer is used
-**			1st uint32_t : Data length (1--124)
-**			Byte 4--127  : Max 124 bytes of data
-**	5. PostQ
-**	All SCSI Command must be sent through postQ:
-**	(inbound queue port)	Request frame must be 32 bytes aligned
-**	#bit27--bit31 => flag for post ccb
-**	#bit0--bit26  => real address (bit27--bit31) of post arcmsr_cdb
-**		bit31 :
-**			0 : 256 bytes frame
-**			1 : 512 bytes frame
-**		bit30 :
-**			0 : normal request
-**			1 : BIOS request
-**		bit29 : reserved
-**		bit28 : reserved
-**		bit27 : reserved
-**  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-**	(outbount queue port)	Request reply
-**	#bit27--bit31
-**		=> flag for reply
-**	#bit0--bit26
-**		=> real address (bit27--bit31) of reply arcmsr_cdb
-**			bit31 : must be 0 (for this type of reply)
-**			bit30 : reserved for BIOS handshake
-**			bit29 : reserved
-**			bit28 :
-**			0 : no error, ignore AdapStatus/DevStatus/SenseData
-**			1 : Error, error code in AdapStatus/DevStatus/SenseData
-**			bit27 : reserved
-**	6. BIOS request
-**		All BIOS request is the same with request from PostQ
-**		Except :
-**			Request frame is sent from configuration space
-**		offset: 0x78 : Request Frame (bit30 == 1)
-**		offset: 0x18 : writeonly to generate
-**					IRQ to IOP331
-**		Completion of request:
-**			(bit30 == 0, bit28==err flag)
-**	7. Definition of SGL entry (structure)
-**	8. Message1 Out - Diag Status Code (????)
-**	9. Message0 message code :
-**		0x00 : NOP
-**		0x01 : Get Config

+Credits
+=======
+
+The original linux driver was ported to Linux by Karen White while at
+Dell Computer.  It was ported from Bob Pasteur's (of DPT) original
+non-Linux driver.  Mark Salyzyn and Bob Pasteur consulted on the original
+driver.
+
+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

+NCR53c400 extensions Copyright |copy| 1994,1995,1996 Kevin Lentin
+
+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):

+		4   Hewlett Packard C2502
+		==  ======================================
+  ============= ===============================================================
+
+These old-style parameters can support only one card:

+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.
+
+Next, there is a movement to "outlaw" typedefs introducing synonyms for
+struct tags. Both can be still found in the SCSI subsystem, but
+the typedefs have been moved to a single file, scsi_typedefs.h to
+make their future removal easier, for example:
+"typedef struct scsi_cmnd Scsi_Cmnd;"
+
+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:

+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
+
+

+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 signed 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 be rare). If possible 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.

-                          Linux Kernel 2.6 series
-                 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() ***
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
-If the LLD wants to adjust the default queue settings, it can invoke
-scsi_change_queue_depth() in its slave_configure() routine.
-
-*** For scsi devices that the mid level tries to scan but do not
-    respond, a slave_alloc(), slave_destroy() pair is called.
-
-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).
-
-^^ 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.
-
-Next, there is a movement to "outlaw" typedefs introducing synonyms for 
-struct tags. Both can be still found in the SCSI subsystem, but
-the typedefs have been moved to a single file, scsi_typedefs.h to
-make their future removal easier, for example: 
-"typedef struct scsi_cmnd Scsi_Cmnd;"
-
-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_".

-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
-

-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 signed 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 be rare). If possible 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.
