labeled disk.
This is complicated by the fact that BBSIZE is greater than the
PAGE_SIZE limit ioctl inflicts on arguments which are automatically
copied in.
As long as we don't need access to userland memory (copyin/out) we
can deal with the ioctl using g_callme() which executes it from the
GEOM event thread.
Once we need copyin/out, we need to return the bio with EDIRIOCTL
in order to make geom_dev call us back in the original process context
where copyin will work.
Unfortunately, that results in us getting called with Giant, so
we have to DROP_GIANT/PICKUP_GIANT around the code where we diddle
GEOMs internals.
Sometimes you just can't win...

data structure called kse_upcall to manage UPCALL. All KSE binding
and loaning code are gone.
A thread owns an upcall can collect all completed syscall contexts in
its ksegrp, turn itself into UPCALL mode, and takes those contexts back
to userland. Any thread without upcall structure has to export their
contexts and exit at user boundary.
Any thread running in user mode owns an upcall structure, when it enters
kernel, if the kse mailbox's current thread pointer is not NULL, then
when the thread is blocked in kernel, a new UPCALL thread is created and
the upcall structure is transfered to the new UPCALL thread. if the kse
mailbox's current thread pointer is NULL, then when a thread is blocked
in kernel, no UPCALL thread will be created.
Each upcall always has an owner thread. Userland can remove an upcall by
calling kse_exit, when all upcalls in ksegrp are removed, the group is
atomatically shutdown. An upcall owner thread also exits when process is
in exiting state. when an owner thread exits, the upcall it owns is also
removed.
KSE is a pure scheduler entity. it represents a virtual cpu. when a thread
is running, it always has a KSE associated with it. scheduler is free to
assign a KSE to thread according thread priority, if thread priority is changed,
KSE can be moved from one thread to another.
When a ksegrp is created, there is always N KSEs created in the group. the
N is the number of physical cpu in the current system. This makes it is
possible that even an userland UTS is single CPU safe, threads in kernel still
can execute on different cpu in parallel. Userland calls kse_create to add more
upcall structures into ksegrp to increase concurrent in userland itself, kernel
is not restricted by number of upcalls userland provides.

Don't clobber ppr_options when forcing a renegotiation.

narrow controllers.
Add an "asserting atn" diagnostic with controller/target

Remove the probe_stack code. The stack is always

Clear the ultraenb flag in our tstate during startup.

Keep a copy of the hs_mailbox in our softc so that
we can perform read/modify/write operations on the
hs_mailbox without having to pause the sequencer to

Add entrypoints for enabling interrupt coalessing and
setting both a timeout (how long to wait for commands
to be coalessed) and a maximum commands to coaless value.
Add a statistics timer that decides when to enable or
disable interrupt coalessing based on load.
Add a routine, ahd_reset_cmds_pending() which is used
to update the CMDS_PENDING sequencer variable whenever
error recovery compeltes SCBs without notifying the
sequencer. Since ahd_reset_cmds_pending is called
during ahd_unpause() only if we've aborted SCBs, its
call to ahd_flush_qoutfifo should not cause recursion
through ahd_run_qoutfifo(). A panic has been added to
ensure that this recursion does not occur.
In ahd_search_qinfifo, update the CMDS_PENDING sequencer
variable directly. ahd_search_qinififo can be called
in situations where using ahd_reset_cmds_pending() might
cause recursion. Since we can safely determine the
exact number to reduce CMDS_PENDING by in this scenario
without running the qoutfifo, the manual update is sufficient.
Clean up diagnostics.
Add ahd_flush_qoutfifo() which will run the qoutfifo
as well as complete any commands sitting on the
sequencer's COMPLETE_SCB lists or the good status FIFO.
Use this routine in several places that did similar
things in an add-hoc, but incomplete, fashion. A call
to this routine was also added to ahd_abort_scbs() to
close a race.
In ahd_pause_and_flushwork() only return once selections
are safely disabled. Flush all completed commands via
ahd_flush_qoutfifo().
Remove "Now packetized" diagnostic now that this
information is incorperated into the actual negotiation
messages that are displayed.
When forcing renegotiation, don't clober the current
ppr_options. Much of the driver uses this information
to determine if we are currently packetized or not.
Remove some stray spaces at column 1 in ahd_set_tags.
When complaining about getting a host message loop
request with no pending messages, print out the
SCB_CONTROL register down on the card.
Modify the ahd_sent_msg() routine to handle a search
for an outgoing identify message. Use this to detect
a msg reject on an identify message which typically
indicates that the target thought we were packetized.
Force a renegotiation in this case.
In ahd_search_qinfifo(), wait more effectively for SCB
DMA activities to cease. We also disable SCB fetch
operations since we are about to change the qinfifo
and any fetch in progress will likely be invalidated.
In ahd_qinfifo_count(), fix the qinfifo empty case.
In ahd_dump_card_state(), print out CCSCBCTL in the
correct mode.
If we are a narrow controller, don't set the current
width to unknown when forcing a future negotiation.
This just confuses the code into attempting a wide
negotiation on a narrow bus.

ahd_handle_devreset for lun and target reset task
management functions.

wait until any current selections are over and then
set the TMF back to zero. This should cause the sequencer

aic79xx.seq:
Correct ignore wide residue processing check for
a wide negotiation being in effect. We must be
in the SCSI register window in order to access the
negotiation table.
Use the software timer and a commands completed count to
implement interrupt coalessing. The command complete is
deferred until either the maximum command threshold or a
the expiration of a command deferral timer. If we have
more SCBs to complete to the host (sitting in COMPLETE_SCB
lists), always try to coaless them up to our coalessing limit.
If coalessing is enabled, but we have fewer commands oustanting
than the host's min coalessing limit, complete the command
immediately.
Add code to track the number of commands outstanding.
Commands are outstanding from the time they are placed
into the execution queue until the DMA to post completion
is setup.
Add a workaround for intvec_2 interrupts on the H2A4.
In H2A4, the mode pointer is not saved for intvec2, but
is restored on iret. This can lead to the restoration
of a bogus mode ptr. Manually clear the intmask bits and
do a normal return to compensate. We use intvec_2 to
track interrupt coalessing timeouts.
Since we cannot disable the swtimer's countdown, simply
mask its interrupt once we no longer care about it firing.
In idle_loop_cchan, update LOCAL_HS_MAILBOX everytime
we are notified of an HS_MAILBOX update via the
HS_MAILBOX_ACT bit in QOFF_CTLSTA. We have to use a
local copy of persistant portions of the HS_MAILBOX as
the mailbox auto-clears on any read.
Move the test for the cfg4istat interrupt up an instruction
to hopefully close a race between the next outgoing selection
and our disabling of selections.
Add a missing ret to the last instruction in load_overrun_buf.
Add notifications to the host of task management
completions as well as the completions for commands
