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

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

208 associated with this object.  Methods, data, and functionality specific to a
209 particular protocol type (e.g. SMP, STP, etc.) are broken out into their own
210 object/file.  SSP specific remote device functionality is covered by the base
211 classes (common files).  Please reference these files directly for further
212 design information:

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

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

272 
273 First, the SCIF_SAS_IO_REQUEST object provides an implementation
274 for the roles and responsibilities defined in the Storage Controller
275 Interface (SCI) specification.  It is suggested that the user read the
276 storage controller interface specification for background information on
277 the SCIF_SAS_IO_REQUEST object.

311 
312 @section scif_sas_internal_io_request SCIF SAS INTERNAL IO Request
313 
314 The SCIF_SAS_INTERNAL_IO_REQUEST object fulfills the SCI's need to create
315 and send out the internal io request. These internal io requests could be
316 smp request for expander device discover process, or stp request for NCQ
317 error handling. Internal IOs consume the reserved internal io space in
318 scif_sas_controller. When an internal IO is constructed, it is put into an
319 internal high priority queue. A defferred task (start_internal_io_task) will be
320 scheduled at the end of every completion process. The task looks up the high
321 priority queue and starts each internal io in the queue. There is one exception
322 that start_internal_io_task is scheduled immediately when the first internal io
323 is constructed. A retry mechanism is also provided for internal io. When an
324 internal io response is decoded, if the decoding indicates a retry is needed,
325 the internal io will be retried.
326 
327 Please refer to these files directly for further design information:

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