132 | ||
133 | 2. Version History | |
79778a27 JB |
134 | 7.0 (4th August, 2005) |
135 | - Updated driver to use SCSI transport class infrastructure | |
136 | - Upported sequencer and core fixes from last adaptec released | |
137 | version of the driver. | |
1da177e4 LT |
138 | 6.2.36 (June 3rd, 2003) |
139 | - Correct code that disables PCI parity error checking. | |
140 | - Correct and simplify handling of the ignore wide residue | |
141 | message. The previous code would fail to report a residual | |
142 | if the transaction data length was even and we received | |
143 | an IWR message. | |
144 | - Add support for the 2.5.X EISA framework. | |
145 | - Update for change in 2.5.X SCSI proc FS interface. | |
146 | - Correct Domain Validation command-line option parsing. | |
147 | - When negotiation async via an 8bit WDTR message, send | |
148 | an SDTR with an offset of 0 to be sure the target | |
149 | knows we are async. This works around a firmware defect | |
150 | in the Quantum Atlas 10K. | |
151 | - Clear PCI error state during driver attach so that we | |
152 | don't disable memory mapped I/O due to a stray write | |
153 | by some other driver probe that occurred before we | |
154 | claimed the controller. | |
155 | ||
156 | 6.2.35 (May 14th, 2003) | |
157 | - Fix a few GCC 3.3 compiler warnings. | |
158 | - Correct operation on EISA Twin Channel controller. | |
159 | - Add support for 2.5.X's scsi_report_device_reset(). | |
160 | ||
161 | 6.2.34 (May 5th, 2003) | |
01dd2fbf | 162 | - Fix locking regression introduced in 6.2.29 that |
6c28f2c0 | 163 | could cause a lock order reversal between the io_request_lock |
1da177e4 LT |
164 | and our per-softc lock. This was only possible on RH9, |
165 | SuSE, and kernel.org 2.4.X kernels. | |
166 | ||
167 | 6.2.33 (April 30th, 2003) | |
168 | - Dynamically disable PCI parity error reporting after | |
169 | 10 errors are reported to the user. These errors are | |
170 | the result of some other device issuing PCI transactions | |
171 | with bad parity. Once the user has been informed of the | |
172 | problem, continuing to report the errors just degrades | |
173 | our performance. | |
174 | ||
175 | 6.2.32 (March 28th, 2003) | |
176 | - Dynamically sized S/G lists to avoid SCSI malloc | |
177 | pool fragmentation and SCSI mid-layer deadlock. | |
178 | ||
179 | 6.2.28 (January 20th, 2003) | |
180 | - Domain Validation Fixes | |
181 | - Add ability to disable PCI parity error checking. | |
182 | - Enhanced Memory Mapped I/O probe | |
183 | ||
184 | 6.2.20 (November 7th, 2002) | |
185 | - Added Domain Validation. | |
186 | ||
187 | 3. Command Line Options | |
188 | ||
189 | WARNING: ALTERING OR ADDING THESE DRIVER PARAMETERS | |
190 | INCORRECTLY CAN RENDER YOUR SYSTEM INOPERABLE. | |
191 | USE THEM WITH CAUTION. | |
192 | ||
970e2486 | 193 | Put a .conf file in the /etc/modprobe.d directory and add/edit a |
1da177e4 LT |
194 | line containing 'options aic7xxx aic7xxx=[command[,command...]]' where |
195 | 'command' is one or more of the following: | |
196 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
197 | Option: verbose | |
198 | Definition: enable additional informative messages during | |
199 | driver operation. | |
200 | Possible Values: This option is a flag | |
201 | Default Value: disabled | |
202 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
203 | Option: debug:[value] | |
204 | Definition: Enables various levels of debugging information | |
205 | Possible Values: 0x0000 = no debugging, 0xffff = full debugging | |
206 | Default Value: 0x0000 | |
207 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
208 | Option: no_probe | |
209 | Option: probe_eisa_vl | |
210 | Definition: Do not probe for EISA/VLB controllers. | |
211 | This is a toggle. If the driver is compiled | |
212 | to not probe EISA/VLB controllers by default, | |
213 | specifying "no_probe" will enable this probing. | |
214 | If the driver is compiled to probe EISA/VLB | |
215 | controllers by default, specifying "no_probe" | |
216 | will disable this probing. | |
217 | Possible Values: This option is a toggle | |
218 | Default Value: EISA/VLB probing is disabled by default. | |
219 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
220 | Option: pci_parity | |
221 | Definition: Toggles the detection of PCI parity errors. | |
222 | On many motherboards with VIA chipsets, | |
223 | PCI parity is not generated correctly on the | |
224 | PCI bus. It is impossible for the hardware to | |
225 | differentiate between these "spurious" parity | |
226 | errors and real parity errors. The symptom of | |
227 | this problem is a stream of the message: | |
228 | "scsi0: Data Parity Error Detected during address or write data phase" | |
229 | output by the driver. | |
230 | Possible Values: This option is a toggle | |
231 | Default Value: PCI Parity Error reporting is disabled | |
232 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
233 | Option: no_reset | |
234 | Definition: Do not reset the bus during the initial probe | |
235 | phase | |
236 | Possible Values: This option is a flag | |
237 | Default Value: disabled | |
238 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
239 | Option: extended | |
240 | Definition: Force extended translation on the controller | |
241 | Possible Values: This option is a flag | |
242 | Default Value: disabled | |
243 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
244 | Option: periodic_otag | |
245 | Definition: Send an ordered tag periodically to prevent | |
246 | tag starvation. Needed for some older devices | |
247 | Possible Values: This option is a flag | |
248 | Default Value: disabled | |
249 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
250 | Option: reverse_scan | |
251 | Definition: Probe the scsi bus in reverse order, starting | |
252 | with target 15 | |
253 | Possible Values: This option is a flag | |
254 | Default Value: disabled | |
255 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
256 | Option: global_tag_depth:[value] | |
257 | Definition: Global tag depth for all targets on all busses. | |
258 | This option sets the default tag depth which | |
259 | may be selectively overridden vi the tag_info | |
260 | option. | |
261 | Possible Values: 1 - 253 | |
262 | Default Value: 32 | |
263 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
264 | Option: tag_info:{{value[,value...]}[,{value[,value...]}...]} | |
265 | Definition: Set the per-target tagged queue depth on a | |
266 | per controller basis. Both controllers and targets | |
01dd2fbf | 267 | may be omitted indicating that they should retain |
1da177e4 LT |
268 | the default tag depth. |
269 | Examples: tag_info:{{16,32,32,64,8,8,,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,32} | |
270 | On Controller 0 | |
271 | specifies a tag depth of 16 for target 0 | |
272 | specifies a tag depth of 64 for target 3 | |
273 | specifies a tag depth of 8 for targets 4 and 5 | |
274 | leaves target 6 at the default | |
275 | specifies a tag depth of 32 for targets 1,2,7-15 | |
276 | All other targets retain the default depth. | |
277 | ||
278 | tag_info:{{},{32,,32}} | |
279 | On Controller 1 | |
280 | specifies a tag depth of 32 for targets 0 and 2 | |
281 | All other targets retain the default depth. | |
282 | ||
283 | Possible Values: 1 - 253 | |
284 | Default Value: 32 | |
285 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
286 | Option: seltime:[value] | |
287 | Definition: Specifies the selection timeout value | |
288 | Possible Values: 0 = 256ms, 1 = 128ms, 2 = 64ms, 3 = 32ms | |
289 | Default Value: 0 | |
290 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
291 | Option: dv: {value[,value...]} | |
292 | Definition: Set Domain Validation Policy on a per-controller basis. | |
01dd2fbf | 293 | Controllers may be omitted indicating that |
1da177e4 LT |
294 | they should retain the default read streaming setting. |
295 | Example: dv:{-1,0,,1,1,0} | |
296 | On Controller 0 leave DV at its default setting. | |
297 | On Controller 1 disable DV. | |
298 | Skip configuration on Controller 2. | |
299 | On Controllers 3 and 4 enable DV. | |
300 | On Controller 5 disable DV. | |
301 | ||
302 | Possible Values: < 0 Use setting from serial EEPROM. | |
303 | 0 Disable DV | |
304 | > 0 Enable DV | |
305 | ||
306 | Default Value: SCSI-Select setting on controllers with a SCSI Select | |
307 | option for DV. Otherwise, on for controllers supporting | |
308 | U160 speeds and off for all other controller types. | |
309 | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | |
310 | ||
311 | Example: | |
d60256b1 | 312 | 'options aic7xxx aic7xxx=verbose,no_probe,tag_info:{{},{,,10}},seltime:1' |
1da177e4 LT |
