2. Version History
|
| 65 |
|
|
|
| 66 |
|
|
3.0 (December 1st, 2005)
|
| 67 |
|
|
- Updated driver to use SCSI transport class infrastructure
|
| 68 |
|
|
- Upported sequencer and core fixes from adaptec released
|
| 69 |
|
|
version 2.0.15 of the driver.
|
| 70 |
|
|
|
| 71 |
|
|
1.3.11 (July 11, 2003)
|
| 72 |
|
|
- Fix several deadlock issues.
|
| 73 |
|
|
- Add 29320ALP and 39320B Id's.
|
| 74 |
|
|
|
| 75 |
|
|
1.3.10 (June 3rd, 2003)
|
| 76 |
|
|
- Align the SCB_TAG field on a 16byte boundary. This avoids
|
| 77 |
|
|
SCB corruption on some PCI-33 busses.
|
| 78 |
|
|
- Correct non-zero luns on Rev B. hardware.
|
| 79 |
|
|
- Update for change in 2.5.X SCSI proc FS interface.
|
| 80 |
|
|
- When negotiation async via an 8bit WDTR message, send
|
| 81 |
|
|
an SDTR with an offset of 0 to be sure the target
|
| 82 |
|
|
knows we are async. This works around a firmware defect
|
| 83 |
|
|
in the Quantum Atlas 10K.
|
| 84 |
|
|
- Implement controller suspend and resume.
|
| 85 |
|
|
- Clear PCI error state during driver attach so that we
|
| 86 |
|
|
don't disable memory mapped I/O due to a stray write
|
| 87 |
|
|
by some other driver probe that occurred before we
|
| 88 |
|
|
claimed the controller.
|
| 89 |
|
|
|
| 90 |
|
|
1.3.9 (May 22nd, 2003)
|
| 91 |
|
|
- Fix compiler errors.
|
| 92 |
|
|
- Remove S/G splitting for segments that cross a 4GB boundary.
|
| 93 |
|
|
This is guaranteed not to happen in Linux.
|
| 94 |
|
|
- Add support for scsi_report_device_reset() found in
|
| 95 |
|
|
2.5.X kernels.
|
| 96 |
|
|
- Add 7901B support.
|
| 97 |
|
|
- Simplify handling of the packetized lun Rev A workaround.
|
| 98 |
|
|
- Correct and simplify handling of the ignore wide residue
|
| 99 |
|
|
message. The previous code would fail to report a residual
|
| 100 |
|
|
if the transaction data length was even and we received
|
| 101 |
|
|
an IWR message.
|
| 102 |
|
|
|
| 103 |
|
|
1.3.8 (April 29th, 2003)
|
| 104 |
|
|
- Fix types accessed via the command line interface code.
|
| 105 |
|
|
- Perform a few firmware optimizations.
|
| 106 |
|
|
- Fix "Unexpected PKT busfree" errors.
|
| 107 |
|
|
- Use a sequencer interrupt to notify the host of
|
| 108 |
|
|
commands with bad status. We defer the notification
|
| 109 |
|
|
until there are no outstanding selections to ensure
|
| 110 |
|
|
that the host is interrupted for as short a time as
|
| 111 |
|
|
possible.
|
| 112 |
|
|
- Remove pre-2.2.X support.
|
| 113 |
|
|
- Add support for new 2.5.X interrupt API.
|
| 114 |
|
|
- Correct big-endian architecture support.
|
| 115 |
|
|
|
| 116 |
|
|
1.3.7 (April 16th, 2003)
|
| 117 |
|
|
- Use del_timer_sync() to ensure that no timeouts
|
| 118 |
|
|
are pending during controller shutdown.
|
| 119 |
|
|
- For pre-2.5.X kernels, carefully adjust our segment
|
| 120 |
|
|
list size to avoid SCSI malloc pool fragmentation.
|
| 121 |
|
|
- Cleanup channel display in our /proc output.
|
| 122 |
|
|
- Workaround duplicate device entries in the mid-layer
|
| 123 |
|
|
device list during add-single-device.
|
| 124 |
|
|
|
| 125 |
|
|
1.3.6 (March 28th, 2003)
|
| 126 |
|
|
- Correct a double free in the Domain Validation code.
|
| 127 |
|
|
- Correct a reference to free'ed memory during controller
|
| 128 |
|
|
shutdown.
|
| 129 |
|
|
- Reset the bus on an SE->LVD change. This is required
|
| 130 |
|
|
to reset our transceivers.
|
| 131 |
|
|
|
| 132 |
|
|
1.3.5 (March 24th, 2003)
|
| 133 |
|
|
- Fix a few register window mode bugs.
|
| 134 |
|
|
- Include read streaming in the PPR flags we display in
|
| 135 |
|
|
diagnostics as well as /proc.
|
| 136 |
|
|
- Add PCI hot plug support for 2.5.X kernels.
|
| 137 |
|
|
- Correct default precompensation value for RevA hardware.
|
| 138 |
|
|
- Fix Domain Validation thread shutdown.
|
| 139 |
|
|
- Add a firmware workaround to make the LED blink
|
| 140 |
|
|
brighter during packetized operations on the H2A4.
|
| 141 |
|
|
- Correct /proc display of user read streaming settings.
|
| 142 |
|
|
- Simplify driver locking by releasing the io_request_lock
|
| 143 |
|
|
upon driver entry from the mid-layer.
|
| 144 |
|
|
- Cleanup command line parsing and move much of this code
|
| 145 |
|
|
to aiclib.
|
| 146 |
|
|
|
| 147 |
|
|
1.3.4 (February 28th, 2003)
|
| 148 |
|
|
- Correct a race condition in our error recovery handler.
|
| 149 |
|
|

|
| 150 |
|
|
during Domain Validation.
|
| 151 |
|
|
|
| 152 |
|
|
1.3.2 (February 19th, 2003)
|
| 153 |
|
|
- Correct a Rev B. regression due to the GEM318
|
| 154 |
|
|
compatibility fix included in 1.3.1.
|
| 155 |
|
|

|
| 159 |
|

| 292 |
|
|
each bit represents a target. Setting the target's
|
| 293 |
|
|
bit to '1' enables read streaming for that
|
| 294 |
|
|
target. Controllers may be ommitted indicating that
|
| 295 |

4. Additional Notes
|
| 386 |
|
|
|
| 387 |
|
|
4.1. Known/Unresolved or FYI Issues
|
| 388 |
|
|
|
| 389 |
|
|
* Under SuSE Linux Enterprise 7, the driver may fail to operate
|
| 390 |
|
|
correctly due to a problem with PCI interrupt routing in the
|
| 391 |
|
|
Linux kernel. Please contact SuSE for an updated Linux
|
| 392 |
|
|
kernel.
|
| 393 |
|
|
|
| 394 |
|
|
4.2. Third-Party Compatibility Issues
|
| 395 |
|
|
|
| 396 |
|
|
* Adaptec only supports Ultra320 hard drives running
|
| 397 |
|
|
the latest firmware available. Please check with
|
| 398 |
|
|
your hard drive manufacturer to ensure you have the
|
| 399 |
|
|
latest version.
|
| 400 |
|
|
|
| 401 |
|
|
4.3. Operating System or Technology Limitations
|
| 402 |
|
|
|
| 403 |
|
|
* PCI Hot Plug is untested and may cause the operating system
|
| 404 |
|
|
to stop responding.
|
| 405 |
|
|
* Luns that are not numbered contiguously starting with 0 might not
|
| 406 |
|
|
be automatically probed during system startup. This is a limitation
|
| 407 |
|
|
of the OS. Please contact your Linux vendor for instructions on
|
| 408 |
|
|
manually probing non-contiguous luns.
|
| 409 |
|
|
* Using the Driver Update Disk version of this package during OS
|
| 410 |
|
|
installation under RedHat might result in two versions of this
|
| 411 |
|
|
driver being installed into the system module directory. This
|
| 412 |
|
|
might cause problems with the /sbin/mkinitrd program and/or
|
| 413 |
|
|
other RPM packages that try to install system modules. The best
|
| 414 |
|
|
way to correct this once the system is running is to install
|
| 415 |
|
|
the latest RPM package version of this driver, available from
|
| 416 |
|
|
http://www.adaptec.com.
