[PATCH] Documentation/DocBook/scsi_midlayer.tmpl

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Rob Landley <rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Add Documentation/DocBook/scsi_midlayer.tmpl and patch
lots of drivers/scsi files fixing/adding kerneldoc comments.

Signed-off-by: Rob Landley <rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>

 More of an RFC than a patch, really.  Kind of big and probably needs to be
 broken up.  One minor code change where I added parentheses in
 scsi_ioctl.c because (blah && blah & FLAG) is something I had to
 double-check the precedence of and wanted to clarify.  Everything else
 should be comments, docbook, or adding the tmpl to the Makefile.

 The upper and lower layers are mostly stubs at present.

+      <para>
+        Once upon a time, the Small Computer Systems Interface defined both
+        a parallel I/O bus and a data protocol to connect a wide variety of
+        peripherals (disk drives, tape drives, modems, printers, scanners,
+        optical drives, test equipment, and medical devices) to a host
+        computer.

+      <para>
+        Although the old parallel (fast/wide/ultra) SCSI bus has largely
+        fallen out of use, the SCSI command set is more widely used than ever
+        to communicate with devices over a number of different busses.

+      <para>
+        The <ulink url='http://www.t10.org/scsi-3.htm'>SCSI protocol</ulink>
+        is a big-endian peer-to-peer packet based protocol.  SCSI commands
+        are 6, 10, 12, or 16 bytes long, often followed by an associated data
+        payload.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        SCSI commands can be transported over just about any kind of bus, and
+        are the default protocol for storage devices attached to USB, SATA,
+        SAS, Fibre Channel, FireWire, and ATAPI devices.  SCSI packets are
+        also commonly exchanged over Infiniband,
+        <ulink url='http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/faq.php'>I20</ulink>, TCP/IP

+      <title>Design of the Linux SCSI subsystem</title>
+      <para>
+        The SCSI subsystem uses a three layer design, with upper, mid, and low
+        layers.  Every operation involving the SCSI subsystem (such as reading
+        a sector from a disk) uses one driver at each of the 3 levels: one
+        upper layer driver, one lower layer driver, and the scsi midlayer.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        The SCSI upper layer provides the interface between userspace and the
+        kernel, in the form of block and char device nodes for I/O and
+        ioctl().  The SCSI lower layer contains drivers for specific hardware
+        devices.
+      </para>
+      <para>
+        In between is the SCSI mid-layer, analogous to a network routing
+        layer such as the IPv4 stack.  The SCSI mid-layer routes a packet
+        based data protocol between the upper layer's /dev nodes and the
+        corresponding devices in the lower layer.  It manages command queues,
+        provides error handling and power management functions, and responds
+        to ioctl() requests.
