Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

Otherwise, they are identical. + +The DTC3x80 does not support DMA but it does have Pseudo-DMA which is +supported by the driver. + +Its DTC406 scsi chip is supposedly compatible with the NCR 53C400. +It is memory mapped, uses an IRQ, but no dma or io-port. There is +internal DMA, between SCSI bus and an on-chip 128-byte buffer. Double +buffering is done automagically by the chip. Data is transferred +between the on-chip buffer and CPU/RAM via memory moves. + +The driver detects the possible memory addresses (jumper selectable): + CC00, DC00, C800, and D800 +The possible IRQ's (jumper selectable) are: + IRQ 10, 11, 12, 15 +Parity is supported by the chip, but not by this driver. +Information can be obtained from /proc/scsi/dtc3c80/N. + +Note on interrupts: + +The documentation says that it can be set to interrupt whenever the +on-chip buffer needs CPU attention. I couldn't get this to work. So +the driver polls for data-ready in the pseudo-DMA transfer routine. +The interrupt support routines in the NCR3280.c core modules handle +scsi disconnect/reconnect, and this (mostly) works. However..... I +have tested it with 4 totally different hard drives (both SCSI-1 and +SCSI-2), and one CDROM drive. Interrupts works great for all but one +specific hard drive. For this one, the driver will eventually hang in +the transfer state. I have tested with: "dd bs=4k count=2k +of=/dev/null if=/dev/sdb". It reads ok for a while, then hangs. +After beating my head against this for a couple of weeks, getting +nowhere, I give up. So.....This driver does NOT use interrupts, even +if you have the card jumpered to an IRQ. Probably nobody will ever +care. |
