-Notes for CPQFCTS driver for Compaq Tachyon TS
-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter, PCI 64-bit, 66MHz
-for Linux (RH 6.1, 6.2 kernel 2.2.12-32, 2.2.14-5)
-SMP tested
-Tested in single and dual HBA configuration, 32 and 64bit busses,
-33 and 66MHz.  Only supports FC-AL.
-SEST size 512 Exchanges (simultaneous I/Os) limited by module kmalloc() 
-	max of 128k bytes contiguous.
-
-Ver 2.5.4  Oct 03, 2002
-   * fixed memcpy of sense buffer in ioctl to copy the smaller defined size
-Ver 2.5.3  Aug 01, 2002
-   * fix the passthru ioctl to handle the Scsi_Cmnd->request being a pointer
-Ver 2.5.1  Jul 30, 2002
-   * fix ioctl to pay attention to the specified LUN.
-Ver 2.5.0  Nov 29, 2001
-   * eliminated io_request_lock.  This change makes the driver specific
-     to the 2.5.x kernels.
-   * silenced excessively noisy printks.
-
-Ver 2.1.2  July 23, 2002
-   * initialize DumCmnd->lun in cpqfcTS_ioctl (used in fcFindLoggedInPorts as LUN index)
-
-Ver 2.1.1  Oct 18, 2001
-   * reinitialize Cmnd->SCp.sent_command (used to identify commands as
-     passthrus) on calling scsi_done, since the scsi mid layer does not
-     use (or reinitialize) this field to prevent subsequent comands from
-     having it set incorrectly. 
-
-Ver 2.1.0  Aug 27, 2001
-   * Revise driver to use new kernel 2.4.x PCI DMA API, instead of 
-     virt_to_bus().  (enables driver to work w/ ia64 systems with >2Gb RAM.)
-     Rework main scatter-gather code to handle cases where SG element
-     lengths are larger than 0x7FFFF bytes and use as many scatter 
-     gather pages as necessary. (Steve Cameron)
-   * Makefile changes to bring cpqfc into line w/ rest of SCSI drivers
-     (thanks to Keith Owens)
-
-Ver 2.0.5  Aug 06, 2001
-   * Reject non-existent luns in the driver rather than letting the 
-     hardware do it.  (some HW behaves differently than others in this area.)
-   * Changed Makefile to rely on "make dep" instead of explicit dependencies
-   * ifdef'ed out fibre channel analyzer triggering debug code
-   * fixed a jiffies wrapping issue
-
-Ver 2.0.4  Aug 01, 2001
-   * Incorporated fix for target device reset from Steeleye
-   * Fixed passthrough ioctl so it doesn't hang.
-   * Fixed hang in launch_FCworker_thread() that occurred on some machines.
-   * Avoid problem when number of volumes in a single cabinet > 8
-
-Ver 2.0.2  July 23, 2001
-   Changed the semiphore changes so the driver would compile in 2.4.7. 
-   This version is for 2.4.7 and beyond. 
- 
-Ver 2.0.1  May 	7, 2001
-   Merged version 1.3.6 fixes into version 2.0.0.   
-
-Ver 2.0.0  May   7, 2001
-  Fixed problem so spinlock is being initialized to UNLOCKED. 
-  Fixed updated driver so it compiles in the 2.4 tree. 
- 
- Ver 1.3.6  Feb  27, 2001
-   Added Target_Device_Reset function for SCSI error handling
-   Fixed problem with not reseting addressing mode after implicit logout
- 
-
-Ver 1.3.4  Sep   7, 2000
-  Added Modinfo information
-  Fixed problem with statically linking the driver
-
-Ver 1.3.3, Aug  23, 2000
-  Fixed device/function number in ioctl
-
-Ver 1.3.2, July 27, 2000
-  Add include for Alpha compile on 2.2.14 kernel (cpq*i2c.c)
-  Change logic for different FCP-RSP sense_buffer location for HSG80 target
-  And search for Agilent Tachyon XL2 HBAs (not finished! - in test)

-*************************
-
-If a GBIC of type Short-wave, Long-wave, or Copper is detected, it will
-print out; otherwise, "none" is displayed.  If the cabling is correct
-and a loop circuit is completed, you should see "Monitor"; otherwise, 
-"LoopFail" (on open circuit) or some LPSM number/state with bit 3 set.
-
-
-ERRATA:
-1. Normally, Linux Scsi queries FC devices with INQUIRY strings.  All LUNs
-found according to INQUIRY should get READ commands at sector 0 to find
-partition table, etc.  Older kernels only query the first 4 devices.  Some
-Linux kernels only look for one LUN per target (i.e. FC device).
-
-2. Physically removing a device, or a malfunctioning system which hides a
-device, leads to a 30-second timeout and subsequent _abort call.  
-In some process contexts, this will hang the kernel (crashing the system).
-Single bit errors in frames and virtually all hot plugging events are 
-gracefully handled with internal driver timer and Abort processing.
-
-3. Some SCSI drives with error conditions will not handle the 7 second timeout
-in this software driver, leading to infinite retries on timed out SCSI commands.
-The 7 secs balances the need to quickly recover from lost frames (esp. on sequence
-initiatives) and time needed by older/slower/error-state drives in responding.
-This can be easily changed in "Exchanges[].timeOut".
-
-4. Due to the nature of FC soft addressing, there is no assurance that the 
-same LUNs (drives) will have the same path (e.g. /dev/sdb1) from one boot to
-next.  Dynamic soft address changes (i.e. 24-bit FC port_id) are
-supported during run time (e.g. due to hot plug event) by the use of WWN to
-SCSI Nexus (channel/target/LUN) mapping.

-5. Compaq RA4x00 firmware version 2.54 and later supports SSP (Selective 
-Storage Presentation), which maps LUNs to a WWN.  If RA4x00 firmware prior
-2.54 (e.g. older controller) is used, or the FC HBA is replaced (another WWN
-is used), logical volumes on the RA4x00 will no longer be visible.

+Controller Register Map
+-------------------------
+
+The controller IOP is accessed via PCI BAR0.
+
+     BAR0 offset    Register
+            0x10    Inbound Message Register 0
+            0x14    Inbound Message Register 1
+            0x18    Outbound Message Register 0
+            0x1C    Outbound Message Register 1
+            0x20    Inbound Doorbell Register
+            0x24    Inbound Interrupt Status Register
+            0x28    Inbound Interrupt Mask Register
+            0x30    Outbound Interrupt Status Register
+            0x34    Outbound Interrupt Mask Register
+            0x40    Inbound Queue Port
+            0x44    Outbound Queue Port
+
+
+I/O Request Workflow
+----------------------
+
+All queued requests are handled via inbound/outbound queue port.
+A request packet can be allocated in either IOP or host memory.
+
+To send a request to the controller:
+
+    - Get a free request packet by reading the inbound queue port or
+      allocate a free request in host DMA coherent memory.
+
+      The value returned from the inbound queue port is an offset
+      relative to the IOP BAR0.
+
+      Requests allocated in host memory must be aligned on 32-bytes boundary.
+
+    - Fill the packet.
+
+    - Post the packet to IOP by writing it to inbound queue. For requests
+      allocated in IOP memory, write the offset to inbound queue port. For
+      requests allocated in host memory, write (0x80000000|(bus_addr>>5))
+      to the inbound queue port.
+
+    - The IOP process the request. When the request is completed, it
+      will be put into outbound queue. An outbound interrupt will be
+      generated.
+
+      For requests allocated in IOP memory, the request offset is posted to
+      outbound queue.
+
+      For requests allocated in host memory, (0x80000000|(bus_addr>>5))
+      is posted to the outbound queue. If IOP_REQUEST_FLAG_OUTPUT_CONTEXT
+      flag is set in the request, the low 32-bit context value will be
+      posted instead.
+
+    - The host read the outbound queue and complete the request.
+
+      For requests allocated in IOP memory, the host driver free the request
+      by writing it to the outbound queue.
+
+Non-queued requests (reset/flush etc) can be sent via inbound message
+register 0. An outbound message with the same value indicates the completion
+of an inbound message.
+
+
+User-level Interface
+---------------------
+
+The driver exposes following sysfs attributes:
+
+     NAME                 R/W    Description
+     driver-version        R     driver version string
+     firmware-version      R     firmware version string
+
+The driver registers char device "hptiop" to communicate with HighPoint RAID
+management software. Its ioctl routine acts as a general binary interface 
+between the IOP firmware and HighPoint RAID management software. New management
+functions can be implemented in application/firmware without modification
+in driver code.
