=======
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
to use them 'as is' or I can miss changes in the interface.
