# 246713 12-Feb-2013 kib

Reform the busdma API so that new types may be added without modifying
every architecture's busdma_machdep.c. It is done by unifying the
bus_dmamap_load_buffer() routines so that they may be called from MI
code. The MD busdma is then given a chance to do any final processing
in the complete() callback.

The cam changes unify the bus_dmamap_load* handling in cam drivers.

The arm and mips implementations are updated to track virtual
addresses for sync(). Previously this was done in a type specific
way. Now it is done in a generic way by recording the list of
virtuals in the map.

# 148853 08-Aug-2005 scottl

Retire the last of the FreeBSD 4.x compat code from the mly driver.


# 130585 16-Jun-2004 phk

Do the dreaded s/dev_t/struct cdev */
Bump __FreeBSD_version accordingly.


# 110479 06-Feb-2003 scottl

Fix the mly driver! If card resources became unavailable, the driver would
correctly tell CAM to requeue the command and then freeze it's queue. The
problem was that when resources became available again, it wouldn't tell
CAM to unfreeze it's queue, so no more commands would ever be delivered.
This is simialr to the bug that was fixed in the cciss driver last year.
This is a bug in 4-STABLE also, but is probably masked by the OS being
fast enough to drain the completion queue before it fills up.
Also add some diagnostics avaialble when compiled with MLY_DEBUG.
Thanks very much to LSI Corp for donating equipment to track this down,
and Vaidus Damosevicius for pestering me long enough to get it fixed.


# 87599 10-Dec-2001 obrien

Update to C99, s/__FUNCTION__/__func__/,
also don't use ANSI string concatenation.


# 79695 13-Jul-2001 msmith

Merge with latest version of the Mylex 6+ driver.

- All sources are built in a single object, reducing namespace pollution.
- Kill the ready queue, and handle a busy response to mly_start in callers
rather than deferring the command.
- Improve our interaction with CAM:
- Don't advertise physical channels as SCSI busses by default.
- use the SIM queue freeze capability rather than queueing CDBs internally.
- force bus reprobe at module load time.
- Clean up more resources in mly_free.
- Tidy up debugging levels.
- Tidy up handling of events (mostly just code cleanliness).
- Use explanatory macros for operations on bus/target/channel numbers.


# 73050 25-Feb-2001 msmith

Major update and bugfix for the 'mly' driver.

- Convert to a more efficient queueing implementation.
- Don't allocate command buffers on the fly; simply work from a
static pool.
- Add a control device interface, for later use.
- Handle controller overload better as a consequence of the
improved queue implementation.
- Add support for the XPT_GET_TRAN_SETTINGS ccb, and correctly
set the virtual SCSI channels up for multiple outstanding I/Os.
- Update copyrights for 2001.
- Some whitespace fixes to improve readability.

Due to a misunderstanding on my part, previous versions of the
driver were limited to a single outstanding I/O per virtual drive.
Needless to say, this update improves performance substantially.


# 64987 23-Aug-2000 msmith

This is the initial import of a new driver for the current family of
PCI:SCSI RAID controllers from Mylex.
