Data Test Program (dt) January 28th, 1998

What's New as of January 28th, 1998

Changes For This Release

The following changes have been made to dt Version 10.12:

Add dtaio_close() function, to wait for queued I/O's when we're aborting, to avoid kernel I/O AIO rundown problem, which panic's the system if we close the CAM disk driver device descriptor, prior to AIO's completing (fixed in steelos by Anton Verhulst). [ Refernce QAR Number 57040 for more information. ]
NOTE: This problem is very prevalent when doing "cable pulls" or otherwise forcing CAM disk I/O's into error recovery and then aborting running 'dt's. This I/O waiting only occurs once, as a 2nd signal (i.e. "kill" or simply exits the program. Beware of "kill -9" :-)
Don't initialize data buffer being written for "disable=compare" which yields better performance. Also correct a problem referencing memory map (mmap) data due to compiler optimization (reference_data() use static volatile). [ Changes requested by Marcus Barrow, thanks! ]
