/*
 * IDE ATAPI streaming tape driver.
 *
 * This driver is a part of the Linux ide driver and works in co-operation
 * with linux/drivers/block/ide.c.
 *
 * The driver, in co-operation with ide.c, basically traverses the 
 * request-list for the block device interface. The character device
 * interface, on the other hand, creates new requests, adds them
 * to the request-list of the block device, and waits for their completion.
 *
 * Pipelined operation mode is now supported on both reads and writes.
 *
 * The block device major and minor numbers are determined from the
 * tape's relative position in the ide interfaces, as explained in ide.c.
 *
 * The character device interface consists of two devices:
 *
 * ht0		major=37,minor=0	first IDE tape, rewind on close.
 * nht0		major=37,minor=128	first IDE tape, no rewind on close.
 *
 * Run /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/MAKEDEV.ide to create the above entries.
 * We currently support only one ide tape drive.
 *
 * The general magnetic tape commands compatible interface, as defined by
 * include/linux/mtio.h, is accessible through the character device.
 *
 * General ide driver configuration options, such as the interrupt-unmask
 * flag, can be configured by issuing an ioctl to the block device interface,
 * as any other ide device.
 *
 * Our own ide-tape ioctl's can can be issued to either the block device or
 * the character device interface.
 *
 * Maximal throughput with minimal bus load will usually be achieved in the
 * following scenario:
 *
 *	1.	ide-tape is operating in the pipelined operation mode.
 *	2.	All character device read/write requests consist of an
 *		integral number of the tape's recommended data transfer unit
 *		(which is shown on initialization and can be received with
 *		 an ioctl).
 *		As of version 1.3 of the driver, this is no longer as critical
 *		as it used to be.
 *	3.	No buffering is performed by the user backup program.
 *
 * Testing was done with a 2 GB CONNER CTMA 4000 IDE ATAPI Streaming Tape Drive.
 * 
 * Ver 0.1   Nov  1 95   Pre-working code :-)
 * Ver 0.2   Nov 23 95   A short backup (few megabytes) and restore procedure
 *                        was successful ! (Using tar cvf ... on the block
 *                        device interface).
 *                       A longer backup resulted in major swapping, bad
 *                        overall Linux performance and eventually failed as
 *                        we received non serial read-ahead requests from the
 *                        buffer cache.
 * Ver 0.3   Nov 28 95   Long backups are now possible, thanks to the
 *                        character device interface. Linux's responsiveness
 *                        and performance doesn't seem to be much affected
 *                        from the background backup procedure.
 *                       Some general mtio.h magnetic tape operations are
 *                        now supported by our character device. As a result,
 *                        popular tape utilities are starting to work with
 *                        ide tapes :-)
 *                       The following configurations were tested:
 *                       	1. An IDE ATAPI TAPE shares the same interface
 *                       	   and irq with an IDE ATAPI CDROM.
 *                        	2. An IDE ATAPI TAPE shares the same interface
 *                          	   and irq with a normal IDE disk.
 *                        Both configurations seemed to work just fine !
 *                        However, to be on the safe side, it is meanwhile
 *                        recommended to give the IDE TAPE its own interface
 *                        and irq.
 *                       The one thing which needs to be done here is to
 *                        add a "request postpone" feature to ide.c,
 *                        so that we won't have to wait for the tape to finish
 *                        performing a long media access (DSC) request (such
 *                        as a rewind) before we can access the other device
 *                        on the same interface. This effect doesn't disturb
 *                        normal operation most of the time because read/write
 *                        requests are relatively fast, and once we are
 *                        performing one tape r/w request, a lot of requests
 *                        from the other device can be queued and ide.c will
 *			  service all of them after this single tape request.
 * Ver 1.0   Dec 11 95   Integrated into Linux 1.3.46 development tree.
 *                       On each read / write request, we now ask the drive
 *                        if we can transfer a constant number of bytes
 *                        (a parameter of the drive) only to its buffers,
 *                        without causing actual media access. If we can't,
 *                        we just wait until we can by polling the DSC bit.
 *                        This ensures that while we are not transferring
 *                        more bytes than the constant referred to above, the
 *                        interrupt latency will not become too high and
 *                        we won't cause an interrupt timeout, as happened
 *                        occasionally in the previous version.
 *                       While polling for DSC, the current request is
 *                        postponed and ide.c is free to handle requests from
 *                        the other device. This is handled transparently to
 *                        ide.c. The hwgroup locking method which was used
 *                        in the previous version was removed.
 *                       Use of new general features which are provided by
 *                        ide.c for use with atapi devices.
 *                        (Programming done by Mark Lord)
 *                       Few potential bug fixes (Again, suggested by Mark)
 *                       Single character device data transfers are now
 *                        not limited in size, as they were before.
 *                       We are asking the tape about its recommended
 *                        transfer unit and send a larger data transfer
 *                        as several transfers of the above size.
 *                        For best results, use an integral number of this
 *                        basic unit (which is shown during driver
 *                        initialization). I will soon add an ioctl to get
 *                        this important parameter.
 *                       Our data transfer buffer is allocated on startup,
 *                        rather than before each data transfer. This should
 *                        ensure that we will indeed have a data buffer.
 * Ver 1.1   Dec 14 95   Fixed random problems which occured when the tape
 *                        shared an interface with another device.
 *                        (poll_for_dsc was a complete mess).
 *                       Removed some old (non-active) code which had
 *                        to do with supporting buffer cache originated
 *                        requests.
 *                       The block device interface can now be opened, so
 *                        that general ide driver features like the unmask
 *                        interrupts flag can be selected with an ioctl.
 *                        This is the only use of the block device interface.
 *                       New fast pipelined operation mode (currently only on
 *                        writes). When using the pipelined mode, the
 *                        throughput can potentially reach the maximum
 *                        tape supported throughput, regardless of the
 *                        user backup program. On my tape drive, it sometimes
 *                        boosted performance by a factor of 2. Pipelined
 *                        mode is enabled by default, but since it has a few
 *                        downfalls as well, you may want to disable it.
 *                        A short explanation of the pipelined operation mode
 *                        is available below.
 * Ver 1.2   Jan  1 96   Eliminated pipelined mode race condition.
 *                       Added pipeline read mode. As a result, restores
 *                        are now as fast as backups.
 *                       Optimized shared interface behavior. The new behavior
 *                        typically results in better IDE bus efficiency and
 *                        higher tape throughput.
 *                       Pre-calculation of the expected read/write request
 *                        service time, based on the tape's parameters. In
 *                        the pipelined operation mode, this allows us to
 *                        adjust our polling frequency to a much lower value,
 *                        and thus to dramatically reduce our load on Linux,
 *                        without any decrease in performance.
 *                       Implemented additional mtio.h operations.
 *                       The recommended user block size is returned by
 *                        the MTIOCGET ioctl.
 *                       Additional minor changes.
 * Ver 1.3   Feb  9  96  Fixed pipelined read mode bug which prevented the
 *                        use of some block sizes during a restore procedure.
 *                       The character device interface will now present a
 *                        continuous view of the media - any mix of block sizes
 *                        during a backup/restore procedure is supported. The
 *                        driver will buffer the requests internally and
 *                        convert them to the tape's recommended transfer
 *                        unit, making performance almost independent of the
 *                        chosen user block size.
 *                       Some improvements in error recovery.
 *                       By cooperating with triton.c, bus mastering DMA can
 *                        now sometimes be used with IDE tape drives as well.
 *                        Bus mastering DMA has the potential to dramatically
 *                        reduce the CPU's overhead when accessing the device,
 *                        and can be enabled by using hdparm -d1 on the tape's
 *                        block device interface. For more info, read the
 *                        comments in triton.c.
 *
 * We are currently in an *alpha* stage. The driver is not complete and not
 * much tested. I would strongly suggest to:
 *
 *	1. Connect the tape to a separate interface and irq.
 *	2. Be truly prepared for a kernel crash and the resulting data loss.
 *	3. Don't rely too much on the resulting backups.
 *
 * Other than that, enjoy !
 *
 * Here are some words from the first releases of hd.c, which are quoted
 * in ide.c and apply here as well:

 */

/*
 * An overview of the pipelined operation mode.
 *
 * In the pipelined write mode, we will usually just add requests to our
 * pipeline and return immediately, before we even start to service them. The
 * user program will then have enough time to prepare the next request while
 * we are still busy servicing previous requests. In the pipelined read mode,
 * the situation is similar - we add read-ahead requests into the pipeline,
 * before the user even requested them.
 *
 * The pipeline can be viewed as a "safety net" which will be activated when
 * the system load is high and prevents the user backup program from keeping up
 * with the current tape speed. At this point, the pipeline will get
 * shorter and shorter but the tape will still be streaming at the same speed.
 * Assuming we have enough pipeline stages, the system load will hopefully
 * decrease before the pipeline is completely empty, and the backup program
 * will be able to "catch up" and refill the pipeline again.
 * 
 * When using the pipelined mode, it would be best to disable any type of
 * buffering done by the user program, as ide-tape already provides all the
 * benefits in the kernel, where it can be done in a more efficient way.
 * As we will usually not block the user program on a request, the most
 * efficient user code will then be a simple read-write-read-... cycle.
 * Any additional logic will usually just slow down the backup process.
 *
 * Using the pipelined mode, I get a constant over 400 KBps throughput,
 * which seems to be the maximum throughput supported by my tape.
 *
 * However, there are some downfalls:
 *
 *	1.	We use memory (for data buffers) in proportional to the number
 *		of pipeline stages (each stage is about 26 KB with my tape).
 *	2.	In the pipelined write mode, we cheat and postpone error codes
 *		to the user task. In read mode, the actual tape position
 *		will be a bit further than the last requested block.
 *
 * Concerning (1):
 *
 *	1.	We allocate stages dynamically only when we need them. When
 *		we don't need them, we don't consume additional memory. In
 *		case we can't allocate stages, we just manage without them
 *		(at the expense of decreased throughput) so when Linux is
 *		tight in memory, we will not pose additional difficulties.
 *
 *	2.	The maximum number of stages (which is, in fact, the maximum
 *		amount of memory) which we allocate is limited by the compile
 *		time parameter IDETAPE_MAX_PIPELINE_STAGES.
 *
 *	3.	The maximum number of stages is a controlled parameter - We
 *		don't start from the user defined maximum number of stages
 *		but from the lower IDETAPE_MIN_PIPELINE_STAGES (again, we
 *		will not even allocate this amount of stages if the user
 *		program can't handle the speed). We then implement a feedback
 *		loop which checks if the pipeline is empty, and if it is, we
 *		increase the maximum number of stages as necessary until we
 *		reach the optimum value which just manages to keep the tape
 *		busy with with minimum allocated memory or until we reach
 *		IDETAPE_MAX_PIPELINE_STAGES.
 *
 * Concerning (2):
 *
 *	In pipelined write mode, ide-tape can not return accurate error codes
 *	to the user program since we usually just add the request to the
 *      pipeline without waiting for it to be serviced. In case an error
 *      occurs, I will report it on the next user request.
 *
 *	In the pipelined read mode, subsequent read requests or forward
 *	filemark spacing will perform correctly, as we preserve all blocks
 *	and filemarks which we encountered during our excess read-ahead.
 * 
 *	For accurate tape positioning and error reporting, disabling
 *	pipelined mode might be the best option.
 *
 * You can enable/disable/tune the pipelined operation mode by adjusting
 * the compile time parameters in ide-tape.h.
 */

/*
 *	Possible improvements.
 *
 *	1.	Support for the ATAPI overlap protocol.
 *
 *		In order to maximize bus throughput, we currently use the DSC
 *		overlap method which enables ide.c to service requests from the
 *		other device while the tape is busy executing a command. The
 *		DSC overlap method involves polling the tape's status register
 *		for the DSC bit, and servicing the other device while the tape
 *		isn't ready.
 *
 *		In the current QIC development standard (December 1995),
 *		it is recommended that new tape drives will *in addition* 
 *		implement the ATAPI overlap protocol, which is used for the
 *		same purpose - efficient use of the IDE bus, but is interrupt
 *		driven and thus has much less CPU overhead.
 *
 *		ATAPI overlap is likely to be supported in most new ATAPI
 *		devices, including new ATAPI cdroms, and thus provides us
 *		a method by which we can achieve higher throughput when
 *		sharing a (fast) ATA-2 disk with any (slow) new ATAPI device.

 *	Packet Command Interface
 *
 *	The current Packet Command is available in tape->pc, and will not
 *	change until we finish handling it. Each packet command is associated
 *	with a callback function that will be called when the command is
 *	finished.
 *
 *	The handling will be done in three stages:
 *
 *	1.	idetape_issue_packet_command will send the packet command to the
 *		drive, and will set the interrupt handler to idetape_pc_intr.
 *
 *	2.	On each interrupt, idetape_pc_intr will be called. This step
 *		will be repeated until the device signals us that no more
 *		interrupts will be issued.
 *
 *	3.	ATAPI Tape media access commands have immediate status with a
 *		delayed process. In case of a successfull initiation of a
 *		media access packet command, the DSC bit will be set when the
 *		actual execution of the command is finished. 
 *		Since the tape drive will not issue an interrupt, we have to
 *		poll for this event. In this case, we define the request as
 *		"low priority request" by setting rq_status to
 *		IDETAPE_RQ_POSTPONED, 	set a timer to poll for DSC and exit
 *		the driver.
 *
 *		ide.c will then give higher priority to requests which
 *		originate from the other device, until will change rq_status
 *		to RQ_ACTIVE.
 *
 *	4.	When the packet command is finished, it will be checked for errors.
 *
 *	5.	In case an error was found, we queue a request sense packet command
 *		in front of the request queue and retry the operation up to
 *		IDETAPE_MAX_PC_RETRIES times.
 *
 *	6.	In case no error was found, or we decided to give up and not
 *		to retry again, the callback function will be called and then
 *		we will handle the next request.

	 *	precalculate the time it will take for the tape to complete
	 *	servicing not only one request, but rather, say, 50% of its

	 *	decreasing our load on Linux, and we will also call
	 *	idetape_postpone_request less often, as there will usually
	 *	be more room in the internal tape buffer while we are in
	 *	idetape_do_request.
	 *
	 *	For this method to work well, the ongoing request of the
	 *	other device should be serviced by the time the tape is
	 *	still working on its remaining 50% internal buffer. This
	 *	will usually happen when the other device is much faster

 *
 *	MTNOP	-	Flushes tape buffers.
