SCSI_IFGETCAP(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers SCSI_IFGETCAP(9F)

NAME

scsi_ifgetcap, scsi_ifsetcap - get/set SCSI transport capability

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

int scsi_ifgetcap(struct scsi_address *ap, char *cap, int whom);

int scsi_ifsetcap(struct scsi_address *ap, char *cap, int value,
int whom);

INTERFACE LEVEL

illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).

PARAMETERS

ap
Pointer to the scsi_address structure.

cap
Pointer to the string capability identifier.

value
Defines the new state of the capability.

whom
Determines if all targets or only the specified target is
affected.

DESCRIPTION

The scsi_ifsetcap() function is used by target drivers to set the
capabilities of the host adapter driver. The cap pointer is a name-
value pair identified by a null-terminated character string and the
integer value of the cap. The current value of the capability can be
retrieved with the scsi_ifgetcap() function. If the whom value is 0,
all target drivers are affected. Otherwise, the scsi_address
structure pointed to by ap is the only target that is affected.

The driver should confirm that scsi_ifsetcap() and scsi_ifsetcap()
functions are called with a cap that points to a capability which is
supported by the device.

The following capabilities have been defined:

dma-max
Maximum dma transfer size that is supported
by the host adapter.

dma-max-arch
Maximum dma transfer size that is supported
by system. Takes the host adapter and system
architecture into account. This is useful for
target drivers which do not support partial
DMAs on systems which do not have an IOMMU.
In this case, the DMA can also be limited by
the host adapters "scatter/gather" list
constraints.

The "dma-max-arch" capability can not be set.
It is implemented with this command and does
not rely on a tran_getcap(9E) response from
the HBA.

msg-out
Message out capability that is supported by
the host adapter: 0 disables, 1 enables.

disconnect
Disconnect capability that is supported by
the host adapter: 0 disables, 1 enables.

synchronous
Synchronous data transfer capability that is
supported by the host adapter: 0 disables, 1
enables.

wide-xfer
Wide transfer capability that is supported by
the host adapter: 0 disables, 1 enables.

parity
Parity checking capability that is supported
by host adapter: 0 disables, 1 enables.

initiator-id
Host bus address that is returned.

untagged-qing
Host adapter capability that supports
internal queueing of commands without tagged
queueing: 0 disables, 1 enables.

tagged-qing
Host adapter capability that supports
queuing: 0 disables, 1 enables.

auto-rqsense
Host adapter capability that supports auto
request sense on check conditions: 0
disables, 1 enables.

sector-size
Capability that is set by the target driver
to inform the HBA of the granularity, in
bytes, of the DMA breakup. The HBA DMA
attributes structure is set to reflect the
byte total of this setting. See
ddi_dma_attr(9S). The sector-size should be
set to the size of the physical disk sector.
The capability defaults to 512 bytes.

total-sectors
Capability that is set by the target driver
to inform the HBA of the total number of
sectors on the device returned by the SCSI
get capacity command. This capability must be
set before the target driver ``gets'' the
geometry capability.

geometry
Capability that returns the HBA geometry of a
target disk. The target driver sets the
total-sectors capability before ``getting''
the geometry capability. The geometry is
returned as a 32-bit value. The upper 16 bits
represent the number of heads per cylinder.
The lower 16 bits represent the number of
sectors per track. The geometry capability
cannot be ``set''.

If geometry is not relevant or appropriate
for the target disk, scsi_ifgetcap() can
return -1 to indicate that the geometry is
not defined. For example, if the HBA BIOS
supports Logical Block Addressing for the
target disk, scsi_ifgetcap() returns -1.
Attempts to retrieve the "virtual geometry"
from the target driver, such as the
DKIOCG_VIRTGEOM ioctl, will fail. See
dkio(4I) for more information about
DKIOCG_VIRTGEOM.

reset-notification
Host adapter capability that supports bus
reset notification: 0 disables, 1 enables.
See scsi_reset_notify(9F).

linked-cmds
Host adapter capability that supports linked
commands: 0 disables, 1 enables.

qfull-retries
Capability that enables or disables QUEUE
FULL handling. If 0, the HBA will not retry a
command when a QUEUE FULL status is returned.
If the value is greater than 0, the HBA
driver retries the command a specified number
of times at an interval determined by the
qfull-retry-interval. The range for qfull-
retries is 0-255.

qfull-retry-interval
Capability that sets the retry interval in
milliseconds (ms) for commands completed with
a QUEUE FULL status. The range for qfull-
retry-intervals is 0-1000 ms.

lun-reset
Capability that is created with a value of
zero by HBA drivers that support the
RESET_LUN flag in the tran_reset(9E)
function. If it exists, the lun-reset value
can be set to 1 by target drivers to allow
the use of LOGICAL UNIT RESET on a specific
target instance. If lun-reset does not exist
or has a value of zero, scsi_reset(9F) is
prevented from passing the RESET_LUN flag to
tran_reset() function of the HBA driver. If
lun-reset exists and has a value of 1, the
tran_reset() function of the HBA driver can
be called with the RESET_LUN flag.

interconnect-type
Capability held in the tran_interconnect_type
element of struct scsi_hba_tran that
indicates the HBA transport interconnect
type. The integer value of the interconnect
type of the transport is defined in the
services.h header file.

max-cdb-length
Host adapter capability of the maximum
supported CDB (Command Descriptor Block)
length. The target driver asks for the
capability at attach time. If the HBA driver
supports the capability, the maximum length
of the CDB is returned in bytes. The target
driver can then use that value to determine
which CDB is used for the HBA.

If the HBA driver does not support the max-
cdb-length capability, the default value of
the target driver is used for the CDB
determination.

RETURN VALUES

The scsi_ifsetcap() function returns:

1
If the capability was successfully set to the new value.

0
If the capability is not variable.

-1
If the capability was not defined, or setting the capability
to a new value failed.

The scsi_ifgetcap() function returns the current value of a
capability, or:

-1
If the capability was not defined.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Using scsi_ifgetcap()

if (scsi_ifgetcap(&sd->sd_address, "auto-rqsense", 1) == 1) {
un->un_arq_enabled = 1;
} else {
un->un_arq_enabled =
((scsi_ifsetcap(&sd->sd_address, "auto-rqsense", 1, 1) == 1) ?
1 : 0);
}

if (scsi_ifsetcap(&devp->sd_address, "tagged-qing", 1, 1) == 1) {
un->un_dp->options |= SD_QUEUEING;
un->un_throttle = MAX_THROTTLE;
} else if (scsi_ifgetcap(&devp->sd_address, "untagged-qing", 0) == 1) {
un->un_dp->options |= SD_QUEUEING;
un->un_throttle = 3;
} else {
un->un_dp->options &= ~SD_QUEUEING;
un->un_throttle = 1;
}

CONTEXT

These functions can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel
context.
