66 @section scif_sas_scope_and_audience Scope and Audience
67 
68 This document provides design information relating to the SAS specific
69 implementation of the SCI Framework.  Driver developers are the primary
70 audience for this document.  The reader is expected to have an understanding
71 of the SCU Software Architecture Specification, the Storage Controller
72 Interface Specification, and the SCI Base Design.
73 
74 @section scif_sas_overview Overview
75 
76 To begin, it's important to discuss the utilization of state machines in
77 the design.  State machines are pervasive in this design, because of the
78 abilities they provide.  A properly implemented state machine allows the
79 developer to code for a specific task.  The developer is not encumbered
80 with needed to handle other situations all in a single function.  For
81 example, if a specific event can only occur when the object is in a specific
82 state, then the event handler is added to handle such an event.  Thus, a
83 single function is not spliced to handle multiple events under various
84 potentially disparate conditions.
85 
86 Additionally, the SCI Base Design document specifies a number of state
87 machines, objects, and methods that are heavily utilized by this design.
88 Please refer to Base Design specification for further information.
89 
90 Many of the framework objects have state machines associated with them.
91 As a result, there are a number of state entrance and exit methods as well
92 as event handlers for each individual state.  This design places all of
93 the state entrance and exit methods for a given state machine into a single
94 file (e.g. scif_sas_controller_states.c).  Furthermore, all of the state
95 event handler methods are also placed into a single file (e.g.
96 scif_sas_controller_state_handlers.c).  This format is reused for each
97 object that contains state machine(s).
98 
99 Some of the SAS framework objects contain sub-state machines.  These
100 sub-state machines are started upon entrance to the super-state and stopped
101 upon exit of the super-state.
102 
103 All other method, data, constant description information will be found in
104 the remaining source file (e.g. scif_sas_controller.c).  As a result, please
105 be sure to follow the link to that specific object/file definition for
106 further information.
107 
108 @note Currently a large number of function pointers are utilized during the
109 course of a normal IO request.  Once stability of the driver is achieved,
110 performance improvements will be made as needed.  This likely will include
111 removal of the function pointers from the IO path.
112 
113 @section scif_sas_use_cases Use Cases
114 
115 The following use case diagram depicts the high-level user interactions with
116 the SAS framework.  This diagram does not encompass all use cases implemented
117 in the system.  The low-level design section will contain detailed use cases
118 for each significant object and their associated detailed sequences and/or
119 activities.  For the purposes of readability, the use cases are not directly
120 connected to the associated actor utilizing the use case.  Instead naming
121 is utilized to different which actor is involved with the use case.
122 
123 Actors:
124 - The Framework user also called the OS Specific Driver initiates activities in
125 the Framework.
126 - The SCI Core calls back into the Framework as a result of an operation either
127 started by the OS Specific Driver or by the Framework itself.

133 
134 This section delineates the high-level class organization for the SCIF_SAS
135 component.  Details concerning each class will be found in the corresponding
136 low-level design sections.  Furthermore, additional classes not germane to
137 the overall architecture of the component will also be defined in these
138 low-level design sections.

225 the READY and STARTING super-states.  For more information on the
226 super-state machine please refer to SCI_BASE_REMOTE_DEVICE_STATES
227 in the SCI Base design document.
228 
229 In the SCIF_SAS_REMOTE_DEVICE_STARTING_SUBSTATES sub-state machine,
230 the remote device currently has to wait for the core to
231 return an indication that the remote device has successfully started
232 and become ready.  If all goes well, then the remote device will
233 transition into the READY state.
234 
235 For more information on the starting sub-state machine states please refer
236 to the scif_sas_remote_device.h::_SCIF_SAS_REMOTE_DEVICE_STARTING_SUBSTATES

256 The SCIF_SAS_REQUEST object provide common functionality for the
257 SCIF_SAS_IO_REQUEST and the SCIF_SAS_TASK_REQUEST objects.  This object
258 does not directly map to an SCI defined object, but its children do.  For
259 additional information, you may reference the SCIF_SAS_IO_REQUEST or
260 SCIF_SAS_TASK_REQUEST objects.
261 
262 The SCIF_SAS_REQUEST object is broken down into 1 individual source file
263 and one direct header file.  These files delineate the methods, members, etc.
264 associated with this object.  Please reference these files directly for

309 
310 @section scif_sas_internal_io_request SCIF SAS INTERNAL IO Request
311 
312 The SCIF_SAS_INTERNAL_IO_REQUEST object fulfills the SCI's need to create
313 and send out the internal io request. These internal io requests could be
314 smp request for expander device discover process, or stp request for NCQ
315 error handling. Internal IOs consume the reserved internal io space in
316 scif_sas_controller. When an internal IO is constructed, it is put into an
317 internal high priority queue. A defferred task (start_internal_io_task) will be
318 scheduled at the end of every completion process. The task looks up the high
319 priority queue and starts each internal io in the queue. There is one exception
320 that start_internal_io_task is scheduled immediately when the first internal io
321 is constructed. A retry mechanism is also provided for internal io. When an
322 internal io response is decoded, if the decoding indicates a retry is needed,
323 the internal io will be retried.
324 
325 Please refer to these files directly for further design information:

330 @section scif_sas_smp_remote_device SCIF SAS SMP REMOTE DEVICE
331 
332 The SCIF SAS SMP REMOTE DEVICE object represents the expander device and fulfills
333 its SMP discover activities. The discover procedure includes a initial discover
334 phase and a following SATA spinup_hold release phase, if there are expander attached
335 SATA device is discovered and in spinup_hold conditon. The SCIF SAS SMP REMOTE DEVICE
336 object also fulfills expander attached device Target Reset (Phy Control) activity.
