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 occurred 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 ide-dma.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.
