Received from Mark Salyzyn. This patch adds the 'new comm' interface, which modern AAC based adapters that are less than a year old support in the name of much improved performance. These modern adapters support both the legacy and the 'new comm' interfaces. Signed-off-by: Mark Haverkamp <markh@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

AACRAID Driver for Linux (take two)
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
The aacraid driver adds support for Adaptec (http://www.adaptec.com)
|
|
RAID controllers. This is a major rewrite from the original
|
|
Adaptec supplied driver. It has signficantly cleaned up both the code
|
|
and the running binary size (the module is less than half the size of
|
|
the original).

Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> (updates for new-style PCI probing and SCSI host registration,
|
|
small cleanups/fixes)
|
|
Matt Domsch <matt_domsch@dell.com> (revision ioctl, adapter messages)
|
|
Deanna Bonds (non-DASD support, PAE fibs and 64 bit, added new adaptec controllers
|
|
added new ioctls, changed scsi interface to use new error handler,
|
|
increased the number of fibs and outstanding commands to a container)
|
|
|
|
(fixed 64bit and 64G memory model, changed confusing naming convention
|
|
where fibs that go to the hardware are consistently called hw_fibs and
|
|
not just fibs like the name of the driver tracking structure)
|
|
Mark Salyzyn <Mark_Salyzyn@adaptec.com> Fixed panic issues and added some new product ids for upcoming hbas. Performance tuning, card failover and bug mitigations.

|
Also note this is very different to Brian's original driver
|
|
so don't expect him to support it.
|
|
Adaptec does support this driver. Contact either tech support or Mark Salyzyn.
