sata & scsi suggestion for make menuconfig

sata & scsi suggestion for make menuconfig

[Folkert van Heusden]

Hi,

Maybe it is a nice enhancement for make menuconfig to more explicitly
give a pop-up or so when someone selects for example a sata controller
while no 'scsi-disk' support was selected?

Having no sd support is perfectly valid. Imagine a diskless boot
with only sr support.

Ok, but that's not the most common situaties. What I'm suggesting is a
warning or a please note popup. Not neccessarily an error or refusing to
continue thing.

I know that it's difficult to get people to read docs & help text,
and maybe it is needed in more places, but CONFIG_ATA (SATA/PATA)
help text says:

  NOTE: ATA enables basic SCSI support; *however*,
  'SCSI disk support', 'SCSI tape support', or
  'SCSI CDROM support' may also be needed,
  depending on your hardware configuration.


A popup makes some sense, but I don't know if menuconfig knows how to
do popup warnings... and it needs to be done for all *configs,
not just menuconfig.

Yes but that would mean that you have to open the help for each item
that you add.

Maybe add a new type?

How about

What IMHO makes sense is changing all references to SCSI CDROM,
SCSI DISK etc. to just CDROM, DISK, and changing SCSI (menu) to
something like MASS STORAGE.

There is still too much SCSI in it IMO :-)

Yes! Maybe create some status-line at the bottom of the screen in which
these hints scrollby. Like powertop does.

I once sent a patch to make libata a submenu of scsi.

[PATCH] libata Kconfig: Allow libata to be selected from within the SCSI submenu
From: Al Boldi <a1426z@gawab.com>
To: linux-ide@vger.kernel.org
CC: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
Date: 08/01/07 07:22 am

Move libata Kconfig sourcing from the drivers Kconfig into the SCSI Kconfig.

This allows the user to quickly select additional disk/tape/cdrom support 
from within the same menu.

'comment' is already supported by make {menu,x,g}config and AFAIK by
make oldconfig too.  It is not effective in make oldconfig though
because it will scroll off the screen quickly.

I am not a friend of 'select', but maybe the following actually helps.
I didn't follow all of this and previous related discussions, so I guess
somebody else suggested something like this before:


# drivers/ata/Kconfig

config ATA
	[...]

comment "Controller drivers"

[...low-level drivers go here...]

comment "Storage device drivers"

config ATA_SD
	tristate "SATA/PATA HDD support (via SCSI disk support)"
	depends on ATA
	select BLK_DEV_SD
	help
	  'SCSI disk support' is required to access SATA HDDs.  It is
	  also necessary for parallel ATA (IDE) HDDs if you use the
	  experimental parallel ATA option.

	  You can say Y or M here to select SCSI disk support, or you
	  can do so in the 'SCSI device support' section.

And to explain that point: SCSI device name inquiry is limited to 16 bytes.
That may be a limitation of SCSI (as in: the protocol), but the SCSI
*subsystem* should not impose such a tight limit.

And what uses ATA_SD, or is the user supposed to manually enable it?

It is merely there to produce the prompt which people asked for.
CONFIG_ATA_SD (or CONFIG_ATA_BLK_DEV_SD or whatever) won't turn up in
any Makefile or source code.

Note, I'm not fond of 'select' nor of dummy Kconfig variables.  Plus I
can personally live very well with the current solution (sd_mod et al
are mentioned in the help text at CONFIG_ATA).  That's why I posted only
the example instead of a complete patch.

For menuconfig I would much rather see that it had an additional
window at the bottom displaying the help text for the active menu line.

Implementing support for a pop-up in the kconfig language seems to be a bit
off the purpose of the kconfig language.

Which is wrong

Nakked-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>

The general comments about moving this stuff around and making it clearer
what sd/sr etc are nowdays are good but hiding libata under SCSI will
cause even more confusion than it cures

That's easy to fix:  just change the SCSI heading to include a libata hint.

Something like this:

[PATCH] libata Kconfig: Allow libata to be selected from within the SCSI submenu

Move libata Kconfig sourcing from the drivers Kconfig into the SCSI Kconfig,
and change the SCSI menu heading to indicate libata submenu inclusion.

This allows the user to quickly select additional disk/tape/cdrom support 
from within the same menu.

This has also bitten me one or two times. A reasonable way would
be to just select SD automatically for !EMBEDDED

Here's a patch:

-Andi

Select BLK_DEV_SD for all SCSI/libata drivers

This avoid a common user mistake.

The problem with 'select' here is that it will enable BLK_DEV_SD,
but if SCSI is not enabled, it will not become enabled -- i.e.,
select does not follow the dependency chain.  So usually the
kernel will not build unless SCSI is enabled by the user.

I checked the dependencies.  ATA depends on SCSI (actually, selects
SCSI), so all is well.  Otherwise I would have added more dependencies

I think you're fixing the wrong problem.

The real problem is hiding devices attached to some controlers between
one kind of the controllers. This has been correct whern they were bus-
specific, but since they are now shared by three busses, they should get
their own menu called "(S)ATA/USB/SCSI attached devices" - or whatever a
native speaker would suggest.

Besides that, if I imagine being a semi-novice and searching for IDE
support, I would have a hard time finding the IDE menu, and asuming
PATA to be non-experimental one day, I'd have a hard time deciding
which of the drivers to use. Maybe the SATA-drivers should be put
above the old PATA menu, amd maybe both of the titles should include
"(E)IDE"?

BTW: For CONFIG_ATA, you can replace
"(!M32R && !M68K || BROKEN) && (!SUN4 || BROKEN)"
with "(!M32R && !M68K && !SUN4 || BROKEN)"

BTW2: I think that menu needs very much reordering. "Block devices" should
be renamed to "Other block devices", AGP support should belong into graphics
support, and many other things I don't even know need to be pushed around.
Even ordering by name would be better than the current situation! But it
should be done by someone knowing these devices, I could only do a part.

That's not entirely fair ... if you're switching over from a config
you've been dragging around for years which uses IDE rather than ATA,
it's far from obvious which config options you need to change.  I think
Andi's patch is a good one.  It might also be good to select SR (at
least my wife's laptop has the cd-rom on SATA).

Vendor kernels tend to compile forever and require initrds. For 
just testing a kernel quickly compiling only a few drivers in
is much more convenient.

Also when you've been using CONFIG_IDE before it is not completely
obvious you need BLK_SD for your hard disk.

A side note:  SCSI is not a bus.  It is an architecture and a set of
implementation standards; including command set standards, transport
protocol standards and interconnect standards for a whole lot of
different applications, transports, and interconnects, and not all of
the latter are actual buses.  The oldest of SCSI interconnects, SCSI
Parallel Interconnect alias SPI, is often mistaken for all of SCSI even
though its role is diminishing.  There is much more:
http://www.t10.org/scsi-3.htm

You are right though that Linux' SCSI command set drivers and SCSI core
are used for non-SCSI transports too, and this is not very well
reflected by the configuration menu layout.  (But is there an ideal menu
layout?  I'm sure there isn't.)

The individual driver descriptions don't say BLK_SD needs to be selected.

Besides if all descriptions said that the computer could as well
do it for the user automatically. After all it's a stupid repetive

At least the help to CONFIG_ATA says so.

In your patch, it is not the computer who finds out that the user wants
BLK_SD.  It is you who predetermined that the user wants it.

Not completely though.  Whenever a 'select' is inserted into the

I can see where you're coming from, but logically, this is wrong.
There's a huge slew of enterprise machines that only have DVD on SATA.
On the other hand, all of these machines will have SCSI disk devices on
various other transports, so no harm is done, it's just an inelegant
solution.

In fact you definitely want to have SATA compiled in in case you need

Let's step back a moment and consider the actual scale and impact of the 
problem at hand.

The vast majority of users are consumers of pre-compiled kernels, built 
by People With Clue(tm), who figured this stuff out as soon as it was 
introduced.

The current setup expresses the dependencies as they exist -- OPTIONAL 
extras, and that is a problem once a year or so, when someone builds 
their own kernel but must learn this fact anew.

There is simply no compelling need at all to change things from the 
current setup.

Our Kconfig system is for people who already know the kernel, not Aunt 
Tillie.

Disk support over SCSI/SATA is hardly an "optional extra". It's more the 99+%
case.

When it costs 10000 people half an hour to learn and correct this it 
wasted 5000 hours of previous livetime.

Besides there is no good reason to have ever learned this imho.

Using that argument, there's an equal case for always requiring SCSI to
be built for every kernel, since very few people can boot a system
without a disk.  However, the 1% case is the embedded flash booting
community plus a few others, so we allow SCSI to be optional for our 1%
who don't want it.

At base, the Kconfig system is designed to give the greatest flexibility
with the fewest foot shooting opportunities.  However, we do tend to err
on the side of flexibility if there's a conflict between the two design
goals.

The process of becoming an expert in the kernel build system naturally
involves making mistakes and learning from them, so this is probably
time reasonably well spent.

Nevertheless we should try to arrange the menus in a way that makes
sense to as many people as possible.  The difficulty is, different
environments call for different menu layouts, as your previous example
of SATA DVD-only boxes demonstrates.

However, liberal usage of 'select' is not the ultimate solution to
create menus that work for more people.  Just one problem with select is
that it works behind the back of the people configuring kernels (unless
they use an UI with debug options turned on) --- they have less control,
they are less informed.  ATA already 'select's SCSI.  What do we gain
from hiding the fact that Linux' SCSI option is not just for those
50-wire ribbons (which people still think SCSI stands for) but is a very
central Linux subsystem for even more than what complies to the SCSI
family of standards?

'select' should really be limited to switch on small library-like code
without further dependencies or requirements.  SCSI, together with its
upper layer options, is not of this kind of library.

We should think about order and grouping of prompts and the labels of
prompts (there were already suggestions in this discussion) before we
resort to 'select' --- or even worse, select options unconditionally
which are not always necessary to be enabled.

A pro pos grouping of options --- consider how options for another
central subsystem are laid out:

	Networking
		Networking options
			...
			TCP/IP networking
			...
		...

	Device Drivers
		...
		Network device support
			...
			Ethernet (10 or 100MBit)
			...
		...

This also happens to reflect the layout of sources in directories, and
the current SCSI menu layout is close to source layout too --- but it
doesn't have to be that way.

If someone's keen on really restructuring these things -- in this analogy:

Storage
	Storage Options
		...
		Disk
		Optical
		...
	...

Device Drivers
	...
	Storage Support
		...
		IDE
		PATA
		SATA
		SCSI
		USB
		FW
		...
	...

(sound is an example where both in the menus and the tree everything is kept 
under one top-level sound/ directory, not sound/ and drivers/sound/ as for 
networking -- opinions may vary which one's better I guess).

This is just config menus -- on a source code level, it would also make 
sense at least at some point to introduce "storage/" alongside net/ and 
sound/ and move things around I guess.

We are talking about a patch to kconfig, and the users using 
pre-compiled kernels are not kconfig users.

Couldn't we just remove kconfig and assume that all "people who already 
know the kernel" anyway prefer to edit their .config using vi?  ;-)

In my experience, the vast majority of kconfig users are not the few 
people working on distribution kernels, most of the kconfig userbase 
could be better described by the use case "sysadmin who knows about the 
hardware in his machine and which filesystems he uses".

And there must have been a reason why a leading kernel developer has 
written a complete book covering only configuration and building of the
kernel - the target audience of this book are most likely not "people 
who already know the kernel".

A popup hardly ever makes sense - popups generally are a
bad user interface. The user will have to dismiss the popup -
every time - whether he needs the warning or not.

But feel free to print a warning somewhere, such as a
status line. The warning itself is useful, but not something
we will have to dismiss in order to go on with the job.

The patch which is discussed here is specifically targeted towards users
who are convinced that they can migrate to different drivers without
reading Kconfig help texts.

Nothing about the patch is only about migration.

The same applies if you configure a kernel from scratch.

Do "make menuconfig" with the .config you are normally using, count the 
number of options that are visible, and ask yourself whether we can 
really expect users to read the help texts for every single option shown.

People mostly read help texts for options where they don't understand 
what this option is about - and "Serial ATA" therefore is an option that 
is likely to get enabled without the user looking at the help text.

If you create .config from scratch, then you can get away without
reading help texts if you have a target with minimal hardware and
protocols requirements and you know all the subsystems involved.

In all other cases, you theoretically need to read all help texts (minus
the ones that don't appear because you deselect entire subsystems).  In
practice, this takes too much time, hence you take an existing .config
(yours or somebody else's) and go from there.

Whenever one enables an option for the first time, it would IMO be
foolish to ignore its help text.

Kconfig let's you start with the defconfig when doing "make menuconfig" 
without any .config present, so in practice users start from the 
defconfig and then go through all menus at once enabling and disabling 
options to adapt the configurations to their needs.

Or they start from the "includes everything" .config of their 
distribution and remove everything they don't need.

Then the number of non-foolish users is quite near to 0...

If you expect people to read several hundreds or thousands of help texts 
only for configuring a kernel then you are expecting something that is 
simply not realistic.

It is intuitive for a user to enable the "Serial ATA" menu and he might 
not expect to have to read the help text when he has SATA drivers, while 
having to enable anything in the "SCSI device support" menu is highly 
unintuitively when the user does not have SCSI hardware.

Could one duplicate the configure options for scsi disk/tape/cdrom at
that place? The text should then probably read SCSI/SATA disk support
in both places.

This is one of those "somebody else's .config".

Perhaps.  Although I meant only options which one enables oneself, not
options which are taken over from somebody else's .config.

It surely is unintuitive, and it is one of the worse cases where the
current menu layout is unintuitive.  We have to improve that, even
though it is ultimately impossible to serve everyone's needs equally
well or, generally, make kernel configuration a piece of cake.

Note though, some suggestions which came up here don't actually make the
menus more intuitive.  Notably the patch "Select BLK_DEV_SD for all
SCSI/libata drivers" is counterintuitive in a different color:  It
follows the philosophy of "I know what's good for you and I act on your
behalf behind your back --- trust me, it's for your best".

I too am guilty of proposing the usage of 'select'
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/8/9) but I suggested a variant which lets
the user stay informed and in control (as far as this is possible with
'select' which always increases complexity, never reduces it).

But rather than adding multiple menu items which enable the same option,
a reorganization of the menus which better reflect the role of SCSI core
and SCSI highlevel might be more effective --- similar to "Networking"
which is separate from "Network device support"
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/10/5, http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/9/10/115).

[RFC PATCH] SCSI: split Kconfig menu into two

[Stefan Richter]

The SCSI core and SCSI high-level drivers play a central role not just
for the whole lot of different SCSI Architecture types of hardware and
protocols, but also for subsystems which drive non SCSI hardware,
especially libata.

Hence the options pertaining to SCSI core and high-level are separated
out into an own top-level menu outside the "Device Drivers" submenu, and
some prompts are reworded.

-	  2902, 2910, 293x, 294x, 394x, 3985 and several other PCI and

-	  the AAA-13x RAID controllers from Adaptec, nor will it likely ever
-	  support them. It does not support the 2920 cards from Adaptec that
-	  use the Future Domain SCSI controller chip. For those cards, you
-	  need the "Future Domain 16xx SCSI support" driver.
-
-	  In general, if the controller is based on an Adaptec SCSI controller
-	  chip from the aic777x series or the aic78xx series, this driver
-	  should work. The only exception is the 7810 which is specifically

-
-	  Note that the AHA2920 SCSI host adapter is *not* supported by this

-
-	  Information on the configuration options for this controller can be

-config IBMMCA_SCSI_ORDER_STANDARD
-	bool "Standard SCSI-order"

-	---help---
-	  In the PC-world and in most modern SCSI-BIOS-setups, SCSI-hard disks
-	  are assigned to the drive letters, starting with the lowest SCSI-id
-	  (physical number -- pun) to be drive C:, as seen from DOS and
-	  similar operating systems. When looking into papers describing the
-	  ANSI-SCSI-standard, this assignment of drives appears to be wrong.
-	  The SCSI-standard follows a hardware-hierarchy which says that id 7
-	  has the highest priority and id 0 the lowest. Therefore, the host
-	  adapters are still today everywhere placed as SCSI-id 7 by default.
-	  In the SCSI-standard, the drive letters express the priority of the
-	  disk. C: should be the hard disk, or a partition on it, with the
-	  highest priority. This must therefore be the disk with the highest
-	  SCSI-id (e.g. 6) and not the one with the lowest! IBM-BIOS kept the
-	  original definition of the SCSI-standard as also industrial- and
-	  process-control-machines, like VME-CPUs running under realtime-OSes
-	  (e.g. LynxOS, OS9) do.
-
-	  If you like to run Linux on your MCA-machine with the same
-	  assignment of hard disks as seen from e.g. DOS or OS/2 on your
-	  machine, which is in addition conformant to the SCSI-standard, you
-	  must say Y here. This is also necessary for MCA-Linux users who want
-	  to keep downward compatibility to older releases of the
-	  IBM-MCA-SCSI-driver (older than driver-release 2.00 and older than
-	  June 1997).
-
-	  If you like to have the lowest SCSI-id assigned as drive C:, as
-	  modern SCSI-BIOSes do, which does not conform to the standard, but
-	  is widespread and common in the PC-world of today, you must say N
-	  here. If unsure, say Y.

-	  However, some devices exist, like special-control-devices,
-	  SCSI-CNC-machines, SCSI-printer or scanners of older type, that do
-	  not reset when switched on. If you say Y here, each device connected
-	  to your SCSI-bus will be issued a reset-command after it has been
-	  probed, while the kernel is booting. This may cause problems with
-	  more modern devices, like hard disks, which do not appreciate these
-	  reset commands, and can cause your system to hang. So say Y only if
-	  you know that one of your older devices needs it; N is the safe

-	---help---
-	  "Tagged command queuing" is a feature of SCSI-2 which improves
-	  performance: the host adapter can send several SCSI commands to a
-	  device's queue even if previous commands haven't finished yet.
-	  Because the device is intelligent, it can optimize its operations
-	  (like head positioning) based on its own request queue. Some SCSI
-	  devices don't implement this properly; if you want to disable this
-	  feature, enter 0 or 1 here (it doesn't matter which).
-
-	  The default value is 8 and should be supported by most hard disks.
-	  This value can be overridden from the boot command line using the
-	  'tags' option as follows (example):
-	  'ncr53c8xx=tags:4/t2t3q16/t0u2q10' will set default queue depth to
-	  4, set queue depth to 16 for target 2 and target 3 on controller 0
-	  and set queue depth to 10 for target 0 / lun 2 on controller 1.
-
-	  The normal answer therefore is to go with the default 8 and to use

-
-	  There is no safe option other than using good SCSI devices.

-	  Modern hard disks are able to support 64 tags and even more, but
-	  do not seem to be faster when more than 32 tags are being used.
-
-	  So, the normal answer here is to go with the default value 32 unless
-	  you are using very large hard disks with large cache (>= 1 MB) that
-	  are able to take advantage of more than 32 tagged commands.

-config SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYNC

-	---help---
-	  The SCSI Parallel Interface-2 Standard defines 5 classes of transfer
-	  rates: FAST-5, FAST-10, FAST-20, FAST-40 and FAST-80.  The numbers
-	  are respectively the maximum data transfer rates in mega-transfers
-	  per second for each class.  For example, a FAST-20 Wide 16 device is
-	  able to transfer data at 20 million 16 bit packets per second for a
-	  total rate of 40 MB/s.
-
-	  You may specify 0 if you want to only use asynchronous data
-	  transfers. This is the safest and slowest option. Otherwise, specify
-	  a value between 5 and 80, depending on the capability of your SCSI
-	  controller.  The higher the number, the faster the data transfer.
-	  Note that 80 should normally be ok since the driver decreases the
-	  value automatically according to the controller's capabilities.
-
-	  Your answer to this question is ignored for controllers with NVRAM,
-	  since the driver will get this information from the user set-up.  It
-	  also can be overridden using a boot setup option, as follows
-	  (example): 'ncr53c8xx=sync:12' will allow the driver to negotiate
-	  for FAST-20 synchronous data transfer (20 mega-transfers per
-	  second).
-
-	  The normal answer therefore is not to go with the default but to
-	  select the maximum value 80 allowing the driver to use the maximum
-	  value supported by each controller. If this causes problems with
-	  your SCSI devices, you should come back and decrease the value.

+	  In the PC-world and in most modern SCSI-BIOS-setups, SCSI-hard disks

+	  (physical number -- pun) to be drive C:, as seen from DOS and
+	  similar operating systems. When looking into papers describing the
+	  ANSI-SCSI-standard, this assignment of drives appears to be wrong.
+	  The SCSI-standard follows a hardware-hierarchy which says that id 7
+	  has the highest priority and id 0 the lowest. Therefore, the host
+	  adapters are still today everywhere placed as SCSI-id 7 by default.
+	  In the SCSI-standard, the drive letters express the priority of the
+	  disk. C: should be the hard disk, or a partition on it, with the
+	  highest priority. This must therefore be the disk with the highest
+	  SCSI-id (e.g. 6) and not the one with the lowest! IBM-BIOS kept the
+	  original definition of the SCSI-standard as also industrial- and
+	  process-control-machines, like VME-CPUs running under realtime-OSes
+	  (e.g. LynxOS, OS9) do.
+

+	  IBM-MCA-SCSI-driver (older than driver-release 2.00 and older than
+	  June 1997).
+
+	  If you like to have the lowest SCSI-id assigned as drive C:, as

+	---help---
+	  "Tagged command queuing" is a feature of SCSI-2 which improves
+	  performance: the host adapter can send several SCSI commands to a
+	  device's queue even if previous commands haven't finished yet.
+	  Because the device is intelligent, it can optimize its operations
+	  (like head positioning) based on its own request queue. Some SCSI
+	  devices don't implement this properly; if you want to disable this
+	  feature, enter 0 or 1 here (it doesn't matter which).
+
+	  The default value is 8 and should be supported by most hard disks.
+	  This value can be overridden from the boot command line using the
+	  'tags' option as follows (example):
+	  'ncr53c8xx=tags:4/t2t3q16/t0u2q10' will set default queue depth to
+	  4, set queue depth to 16 for target 2 and target 3 on controller 0
+	  and set queue depth to 10 for target 0 / lun 2 on controller 1.
+
+	  The normal answer therefore is to go with the default 8 and to use
+	  a boot command line option for devices that need to use a different
+	  command queue depth.
+
+	  There is no safe option other than using good SCSI devices.

+	  Modern hard disks are able to support 64 tags and even more, but
+	  do not seem to be faster when more than 32 tags are being used.
+
+	  So, the normal answer here is to go with the default value 32 unless
+	  you are using very large hard disks with large cache (>= 1 MB) that
+	  are able to take advantage of more than 32 tagged commands.
+
+	  There is no safe option and the default answer is recommended.

+config SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYNC
+	int "synchronous transfers frequency in MHz"

+	default "20"
+	---help---
+	  The SCSI Parallel Interface-2 Standard defines 5 classes of transfer
+	  rates: FAST-5, FAST-10, FAST-20, FAST-40 and FAST-80.  The numbers
+	  are respectively the maximum data transfer rates in mega-transfers
+	  per second for each class.  For example, a FAST-20 Wide 16 device is
+	  able to transfer data at 20 million 16 bit packets per second for a
+	  total rate of 40 MB/s.
+
+	  You may specify 0 if you want to only use asynchronous data
+	  transfers. This is the safest and slowest option. Otherwise, specify
+	  a value between 5 and 80, depending on the capability of your SCSI
+	  controller.  The higher the number, the faster the data transfer.
+	  Note that 80 should normally be ok since the driver decreases the
+	  value automatically according to the controller's capabilities.
+
+	  Your answer to this question is ignored for controllers with NVRAM,
+	  since the driver will get this information from the user set-up.  It
+	  also can be overridden using a boot setup option, as follows
+	  (example): 'ncr53c8xx=sync:12' will allow the driver to negotiate
+	  for FAST-20 synchronous data transfer (20 mega-transfers per
+	  second).
+
+	  The normal answer therefore is not to go with the default but to
+	  select the maximum value 80 allowing the driver to use the maximum
+	  value supported by each controller. If this causes problems with
+	  your SCSI devices, you should come back and decrease the value.

[PATCH] SCSI: trailing whitespace in Kconfig

[Stefan Richter]

Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

Applies after patch "SCSI: split Kconfig menu into two".
I didn't want to change whitespace in the portions that this patch
moved from drivers/scsi/Kconfig to drivers/scsi/Kconfig.lowlevel,
hence produced this follow-up.

Or rather than duplicating the menu items for the same options, split

You left out PATA running libata drivers.  Not just SATA is affected

Exactly the same change for all architectures.
IT would be good to introduce a common file that contains
some of the shared stuff from the different architectures.
We could start out simple with:

arch/Kconfig.arch:

source "net/Kconfig"
source "drivers/Kconfig"
source "fs/Kconfig"
source "security/Kconfig"
source "crypto/Kconfig"
source "lib/Kconfig"


And then source it in all relevant arch Kconfig files.
It is not all that can use it but most do.
A trivial task but one small step towards unification between
the architectures on the Kconfig level.

Yes, that would be good.  But Adrian has a point too.

From: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
Subject: SCSI: split Kconfig menu into two

The SCSI core and SCSI high-level drivers play a central role not just
for the whole lot of different SCSI Architecture types of hardware and
protocols, but also for subsystems which drive non SCSI hardware,
especially libata.

Hence the options pertaining to SCSI core and high-level are separated
out into an own top-level menu outside the "Device Drivers" submenu, and
some prompts are reworded.

-config IBMMCA_SCSI_ORDER_STANDARD

-	---help---
-	  In the PC-world and in most modern SCSI-BIOS-setups, SCSI-hard disks
-	  are assigned to the drive letters, starting with the lowest SCSI-id
-	  (physical number -- pun) to be drive C:, as seen from DOS and
-	  similar operating systems. When looking into papers describing the
-	  ANSI-SCSI-standard, this assignment of drives appears to be wrong.
-	  The SCSI-standard follows a hardware-hierarchy which says that id 7
-	  has the highest priority and id 0 the lowest. Therefore, the host
-	  adapters are still today everywhere placed as SCSI-id 7 by default.
-	  In the SCSI-standard, the drive letters express the priority of the
-	  disk. C: should be the hard disk, or a partition on it, with the
-	  highest priority. This must therefore be the disk with the highest
-	  SCSI-id (e.g. 6) and not the one with the lowest! IBM-BIOS kept the
-	  original definition of the SCSI-standard as also industrial- and
-	  process-control-machines, like VME-CPUs running under realtime-OSes
-	  (e.g. LynxOS, OS9) do.
-
-	  If you like to run Linux on your MCA-machine with the same

-	  to keep downward compatibility to older releases of the
-	  IBM-MCA-SCSI-driver (older than driver-release 2.00 and older than
-	  June 1997).
-
-	  If you like to have the lowest SCSI-id assigned as drive C:, as
-	  modern SCSI-BIOSes do, which does not conform to the standard, but
-	  is widespread and common in the PC-world of today, you must say N
-	  here. If unsure, say Y.

-	  However, some devices exist, like special-control-devices,
-	  SCSI-CNC-machines, SCSI-printer or scanners of older type, that do
-	  not reset when switched on. If you say Y here, each device connected
-	  to your SCSI-bus will be issued a reset-command after it has been
-	  probed, while the kernel is booting. This may cause problems with
-	  more modern devices, like hard disks, which do not appreciate these
-	  reset commands, and can cause your system to hang. So say Y only if

-	  "Tagged command queuing" is a feature of SCSI-2 which improves
-	  performance: the host adapter can send several SCSI commands to a
-	  device's queue even if previous commands haven't finished yet.
-	  Because the device is intelligent, it can optimize its operations
-	  (like head positioning) based on its own request queue. Some SCSI
-	  devices don't implement this properly; if you want to disable this
-	  feature, enter 0 or 1 here (it doesn't matter which).
-
-	  The default value is 8 and should be supported by most hard disks.
-	  This value can be overridden from the boot command line using the
-	  'tags' option as follows (example):
-	  'ncr53c8xx=tags:4/t2t3q16/t0u2q10' will set default queue depth to
-	  4, set queue depth to 16 for target 2 and target 3 on controller 0
-	  and set queue depth to 10 for target 0 / lun 2 on controller 1.
-
-	  The normal answer therefore is to go with the default 8 and to use
-	  a boot command line option for devices that need to use a different
-	  command queue depth.

-	  There is no safe option other than using good SCSI devices.

-	depends on SCSI_ZALON || SCSI_NCR_Q720
-	default "32"
-	---help---
-	  This option allows you to specify the maximum number of commands
-	  that can be queued to any device, when tagged command queuing is
-	  possible. The default value is 32. Minimum is 2, maximum is 64.
-	  Modern hard disks are able to support 64 tags and even more, but
-	  do not seem to be faster when more than 32 tags are being used.
-
-	  So, the normal answer here is to go with the default value 32 unless
-	  you are using very large hard disks with large cache (>= 1 MB) that
-	  are able to take advantage of more than 32 tagged commands.
-
-	  There is no safe option and the default answer is recommended.

-config SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYNC

-	default "20"
-	---help---
-	  The SCSI Parallel Interface-2 Standard defines 5 classes of transfer
-	  rates: FAST-5, FAST-10, FAST-20, FAST-40 and FAST-80.  The numbers
-	  are respectively the maximum data transfer rates in mega-transfers
-	  per second for each class.  For example, a FAST-20 Wide 16 device is
-	  able to transfer data at 20 million 16 bit packets per second for a
-	  total rate of 40 MB/s.
-
-	  You may specify 0 if you want to only use asynchronous data
-	  transfers. This is the safest and slowest option. Otherwise, specify
-	  a value between 5 and 80, depending on the capability of your SCSI
-	  controller.  The higher the number, the faster the data transfer.
-	  Note that 80 should normally be ok since the driver decreases the
-	  value automatically according to the controller's capabilities.
-
-	  Your answer to this question is ignored for controllers with NVRAM,
-	  since the driver will get this information from the user set-up.  It
-	  also can be overridden using a boot setup option, as follows
-	  (example): 'ncr53c8xx=sync:12' will allow the driver to negotiate
-	  for FAST-20 synchronous data transfer (20 mega-transfers per
-	  second).
-
-	  The normal answer therefore is not to go with the default but to
-	  select the maximum value 80 allowing the driver to use the maximum
-	  value supported by each controller. If this causes problems with
-	  your SCSI devices, you should come back and decrease the value.
-
-	  There is no safe option other than using good cabling, right
-	  terminations and SCSI conformant devices.

+	---help---
+	  In the PC-world and in most modern SCSI-BIOS-setups, SCSI-hard disks
+	  are assigned to the drive letters, starting with the lowest SCSI-id
+	  (physical number -- pun) to be drive C:, as seen from DOS and
+	  similar operating systems. When looking into papers describing the
+	  ANSI-SCSI-standard, this assignment of drives appears to be wrong.
+	  The SCSI-standard follows a hardware-hierarchy which says that id 7
+	  has the highest priority and id 0 the lowest. Therefore, the host
+	  adapters are still today everywhere placed as SCSI-id 7 by default.
+	  In the SCSI-standard, the drive letters express the priority of the
+	  disk. C: should be the hard disk, or a partition on it, with the
+	  highest priority. This must therefore be the disk with the highest
+	  SCSI-id (e.g. 6) and not the one with the lowest! IBM-BIOS kept the
+	  original definition of the SCSI-standard as also industrial- and
+	  process-control-machines, like VME-CPUs running under realtime-OSes
+	  (e.g. LynxOS, OS9) do.
+
+	  If you like to run Linux on your MCA-machine with the same
+	  assignment of hard disks as seen from e.g. DOS or OS/2 on your

+	  IBM-MCA-SCSI-driver (older than driver-release 2.00 and older than
+	  June 1997).
+
+	  If you like to have the lowest SCSI-id assigned as drive C:, as
+	  modern SCSI-BIOSes do, which does not conform to the standard, but
+	  is widespread and common in the PC-world of today, you must say N

+	  "Tagged command queuing" is a feature of SCSI-2 which improves
+	  performance: the host adapter can send several SCSI commands to a
+	  device's queue even if previous commands haven't finished yet.
+	  Because the device is intelligent, it can optimize its operations
+	  (like head positioning) based on its own request queue. Some SCSI
+	  devices don't implement this properly; if you want to disable this
+	  feature, enter 0 or 1 here (it doesn't matter which).
+
+	  The default value is 8 and should be supported by most hard disks.
+	  This value can be overridden from the boot command line using the
+	  'tags' option as follows (example):
+	  'ncr53c8xx=tags:4/t2t3q16/t0u2q10' will set default queue depth to
+	  4, set queue depth to 16 for target 2 and target 3 on controller 0
+	  and set queue depth to 10 for target 0 / lun 2 on controller 1.
+
+	  The normal answer therefore is to go with the default 8 and to use

+	  command queue depth.
+
+	  There is no safe option other than using good SCSI devices.

+	  do not seem to be faster when more than 32 tags are being used.
+
+	  So, the normal answer here is to go with the default value 32 unless
+	  you are using very large hard disks with large cache (>= 1 MB) that
+	  are able to take advantage of more than 32 tagged commands.

+	---help---
+	  The SCSI Parallel Interface-2 Standard defines 5 classes of transfer
+	  rates: FAST-5, FAST-10, FAST-20, FAST-40 and FAST-80.  The numbers
+	  are respectively the maximum data transfer rates in mega-transfers
+	  per second for each class.  For example, a FAST-20 Wide 16 device is
+	  able to transfer data at 20 million 16 bit packets per second for a
+	  total rate of 40 MB/s.
+
+	  You may specify 0 if you want to only use asynchronous data
+	  transfers. This is the safest and slowest option. Otherwise, specify
+	  a value between 5 and 80, depending on the capability of your SCSI
+	  controller.  The higher the number, the faster the data transfer.
+	  Note that 80 should normally be ok since the driver decreases the
+	  value automatically according to the controller's capabilities.
+
+	  Your answer to this question is ignored for controllers with NVRAM,
+	  since the driver will get this information from the user set-up.  It
+	  also can be overridden using a boot setup option, as follows
+	  (example): 'ncr53c8xx=sync:12' will allow the driver to negotiate
+	  for FAST-20 synchronous data transfer (20 mega-transfers per
+	  second).
+
+	  The normal answer therefore is not to go with the default but to
+	  select the maximum value 80 allowing the driver to use the maximum
+	  value supported by each controller. If this causes problems with
+	  your SCSI devices, you should come back and decrease the value.

(I'll gladly do that, or only send an update of the 'split Kconfig menu'

How about that one for libata driven PATA CDROM drives?  Could replace
SATA with libata, or something similar.

[PATCH update] SCSI: split Kconfig menu into two

[Stefan Richter]

Date: 
From: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
Subject: SCSI: split Kconfig menu into two

The SCSI core and SCSI high-level drivers play a central role not just
for the whole lot of different SCSI Architecture types of hardware and
protocols, but also for subsystems which drive non SCSI hardware,
especially libata.

Hence the options pertaining to SCSI core and high-level are separated
out into an own top-level menu outside the "Device Drivers" submenu, and
some prompts are reworded.

-	  In the PC-world and in most modern SCSI-BIOS-setups, SCSI-hard disks
-	  are assigned to the drive letters, starting with the lowest SCSI-id
-	  (physical number -- pun) to be drive C:, as seen from DOS and
-	  similar operating systems. When looking into papers describing the
-	  ANSI-SCSI-standard, this assignment of drives appears to be wrong.
-	  The SCSI-standard follows a hardware-hierarchy which says that id 7
-	  has the highest priority and id 0 the lowest. Therefore, the host
-	  adapters are still today everywhere placed as SCSI-id 7 by default.
-	  In the SCSI-standard, the drive letters express the priority of the
-	  disk. C: should be the hard disk, or a partition on it, with the
-	  highest priority. This must therefore be the disk with the highest
-	  SCSI-id (e.g. 6) and not the one with the lowest! IBM-BIOS kept the
-	  original definition of the SCSI-standard as also industrial- and
-	  process-control-machines, like VME-CPUs running under realtime-OSes
-	  (e.g. LynxOS, OS9) do.
-
-	  If you like to run Linux on your MCA-machine with the same

-	  must say Y here. This is also necessary for MCA-Linux users who want
-	  to keep downward compatibility to older releases of the
-	  IBM-MCA-SCSI-driver (older than driver-release 2.00 and older than
-	  June 1997).
-
-	  If you like to have the lowest SCSI-id assigned as drive C:, as

-	  is widespread and common in the PC-world of today, you must say N
-	  here. If unsure, say Y.

-	  probed, while the kernel is booting. This may cause problems with
-	  more modern devices, like hard disks, which do not appreciate these

-	int "default tagged command queue depth"

-	---help---
-	  "Tagged command queuing" is a feature of SCSI-2 which improves
-	  performance: the host adapter can send several SCSI commands to a
-	  device's queue even if previous commands haven't finished yet.
-	  Because the device is intelligent, it can optimize its operations
-	  (like head positioning) based on its own request queue. Some SCSI
-	  devices don't implement this properly; if you want to disable this
-	  feature, enter 0 or 1 here (it doesn't matter which).
-
-	  The default value is 8 and should be supported by most hard disks.
-	  This value can be overridden from the boot command line using the
-	  'tags' option as follows (example):
-	  'ncr53c8xx=tags:4/t2t3q16/t0u2q10' will set default queue depth to
-	  4, set queue depth to 16 for target 2 and target 3 on controller 0
-	  and set queue depth to 10 for target 0 / lun 2 on controller 1.
-
-	  The normal answer therefore is to go with the default 8 and to use
-	  a boot command line option for devices that need to use a different
-	  command queue depth.
-
-	  There is no safe option other than using good SCSI devices.

-config SCSI_NCR53C8XX_MAX_TAGS

-	  Modern hard disks are able to support 64 tags and even more, but
-	  do not seem to be faster when more than 32 tags are being used.
-
-	  So, the normal answer here is to go with the default value 32 unless
-	  you are using very large hard disks with large cache (>= 1 MB) that
-	  are able to take advantage of more than 32 tagged commands.
-
-	  There is no safe option and the default answer is recommended.

-config SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYNC
-	int "synchronous transfers frequency in MHz"
-	depends on SCSI_ZALON || SCSI_NCR_Q720
-	default "20"
-	---help---
-	  The SCSI Parallel Interface-2 Standard defines 5 classes of transfer
-	  rates: FAST-5, FAST-10, FAST-20, FAST-40 and FAST-80.  The numbers
-	  are respectively the maximum data transfer rates in mega-transfers
-	  per second for each class.  For example, a FAST-20 Wide 16 device is
-	  able to transfer data at 20 million 16 bit packets per second for a
-	  total rate of 40 MB/s.
-
-	  You may specify 0 if you want to only use asynchronous data
-	  transfers. This is the safest and slowest option. Otherwise, specify
-	  a value between 5 and 80, depending on the capability of your SCSI
-	  controller.  The higher the number, the faster the data transfer.
-	  Note that 80 should normally be ok since the driver decreases the
-	  value automatically according to the controller's capabilities.
-
-	  Your answer to this question is ignored for controllers with NVRAM,
-	  since the driver will get this information from the user set-up.  It
-	  also can be overridden using a boot setup option, as follows
-	  (example): 'ncr53c8xx=sync:12' will allow the driver to negotiate
-	  for FAST-20 synchronous data transfer (20 mega-transfers per
-	  second).
-
-	  The normal answer therefore is not to go with the default but to
-	  select the maximum value 80 allowing the driver to use the maximum
-	  value supported by each controller. If this causes problems with
-	  your SCSI devices, you should come back and decrease the value.
-
-	  There is no safe option other than using good cabling, right

+	  In the PC-world and in most modern SCSI-BIOS-setups, SCSI-hard disks

+	  (physical number -- pun) to be drive C:, as seen from DOS and
+	  similar operating systems. When looking into papers describing the
+	  ANSI-SCSI-standard, this assignment of drives appears to be wrong.
+	  The SCSI-standard follows a hardware-hierarchy which says that id 7
+	  has the highest priority and id 0 the lowest. Therefore, the host
+	  adapters are still today everywhere placed as SCSI-id 7 by default.
+	  In the SCSI-standard, the drive letters express the priority of the
+	  disk. C: should be the hard disk, or a partition on it, with the
+	  highest priority. This must therefore be the disk with the highest
+	  SCSI-id (e.g. 6) and not the one with the lowest! IBM-BIOS kept the
+	  original definition of the SCSI-standard as also industrial- and
+	  process-control-machines, like VME-CPUs running under realtime-OSes
+	  (e.g. LynxOS, OS9) do.
+

+	  June 1997).
+
+	  If you like to have the lowest SCSI-id assigned as drive C:, as

+	---help---
+	  "Tagged command queuing" is a feature of SCSI-2 which improves
+	  performance: the host adapter can send several SCSI commands to a
+	  device's queue even if previous commands haven't finished yet.
+	  Because the device is intelligent, it can optimize its operations
+	  (like head positioning) based on its own request queue. Some SCSI
+	  devices don't implement this properly; if you want to disable this
+	  feature, enter 0 or 1 here (it doesn't matter which).
+
+	  The default value is 8 and should be supported by most hard disks.
+	  This value can be overridden from the boot command line using the
+	  'tags' option as follows (example):
+	  'ncr53c8xx=tags:4/t2t3q16/t0u2q10' will set default queue depth to
+	  4, set queue depth to 16 for target 2 and target 3 on controller 0
+	  and set queue depth to 10 for target 0 / lun 2 on controller 1.
+
+	  The normal answer therefore is to go with the default 8 and to use
+	  a boot command line option for devices that need to use a different
+	  command queue depth.
+
+	  There is no safe option other than using good SCSI devices.
+
+config SCSI_NCR53C8XX_MAX_TAGS

+	  This option allows you to specify the maximum number of commands

+	  Modern hard disks are able to support 64 tags and even more, but
+	  do not seem to be faster when more than 32 tags are being used.
+
+	  So, the normal answer here is to go with the default value 32 unless
+	  you are using very large hard disks with large cache (>= 1 MB) that
+	  are able to take advantage of more than 32 tagged commands.
+
+	  There is no safe option and the default answer is recommended.
+
+config SCSI_NCR53C8XX_SYNC
+	int "synchronous transfers frequency in MHz"
+	depends on SCSI_ZALON || SCSI_NCR_Q720
+	default "20"
+	---help---
+	  The SCSI Parallel Interface-2 Standard defines 5 classes of transfer
+	  rates: FAST-5, FAST-10, FAST-20, FAST-40 and FAST-80.  The numbers
+	  are respectively the maximum data transfer rates in mega-transfers
+	  per second for each class.  For example, a FAST-20 Wide 16 device is
+	  able to transfer data at 20 million 16 bit packets per second for a
+	  total rate of 40 MB/s.
+
+	  You may specify 0 if you want to only use asynchronous data
+	  transfers. This is the safest and slowest option. Otherwise, specify
+	  a value between 5 and 80, depending on the capability of your SCSI
+	  controller.  The higher the number, the faster the data transfer.
+	  Note that 80 should normally be ok since the driver decreases the
+	  value automatically according to the controller's capabilities.
+
+	  Your answer to this question is ignored for controllers with NVRAM,
+	  since the driver will get this information from the user set-up.  It
+	  also can be overridden using a boot setup option, as follows
+	  (example): 'ncr53c8xx=sync:12' will allow the driver to negotiate
+	  for FAST-20 synchronous data transfer (20 mega-transfers per
+	  second).
+
+	  The normal answer therefore is not to go with the default but to
+	  select the maximum value 80 allowing the driver to use the maximum
+	  value supported by each controller. If this causes problems with
+	  your SCSI devices, you should come back and decrease the value.
+

I think I'll rewrite it as "for newer SCSI transports such as FireWire
storage."  ;-)

If SRP was in, can 'such as' be omitted?  "for newer SCSI transports
(Fibre Channel, FireWire storage, iSCSI, SAS, SRP),"  Or would be "for
newer SCSI transports such as Fibre Channel, FireWire storage, iSCSI,
SAS, and more," be OK?

As a "make menuconfig" user, let me say that I agree. Of course, I'm used
to rebuild kernel, but sometimes, some options are not clear, and the help
text is searched for. But, getting too much of "No help text available"
usually results in people no more reading the help text.

What about splitting the screen to have the top half with the menu, and the
bottom half with the help ?

It might be necessary to add SSA too.

scsi-ml has SPI, FC, iSCSI, SAS, and SRP transport classes (SRP is in
scsi-misc now). It's a bit strange to omit only SRP, I think. But I
might be too SRP-biased.

Nearly right.  ;-)

There are a few architectures not (yet) using drivers/Kconfig.

This way the order is wrong:

There should first be the lowlevel SCSI, SATA, USB etc. drivers, these 
drivers should select CONFIG_SCSI, and then the menu offering support 
for disk, CD,...

What is "storage support"?
SATA?
PATA?
USB mass storage?
MMC?
MTD?

Whether or not a driver uses the SCSI layer is an implementation detail 
(it even differs for the two USB mass storage implementations and the 
two PATA implementations in the kernel) the user shouldn't have to know 
about.

I don't see any reason why CONFIG_SCSI should have to stay user-visible 
at all after your patch.

Right, the patch is wrong for those architectures which include
drivers/scsi/Kconfig directly, rather than indirectly via drivers/Kconfig.

The order was inspired by

	# the protocols etc.
	"Networking"

	# the interconnects
	"Device Drivers"/ "Network device support"

So that order is wrong too?

However, there is also precedence for the order which you suggest:  The
partition and filesystems options come after device driver options.

Vice versa, I don't see any reason for "select SCSI" anywhere after my
patch.

"such as... and more" suggests that there are indeed more SCSI
transports supported by Linux than mentioned in this help text.

We could also write "such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI, SAS, and more," if
you suspect bias on my side. ;-)  Help texts should be concise.

Different to CONFIG_SCSI, CONFIG_NET=n is so exotic that we should 
change it to no longer show users the question unless CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y.

If users who don't need it now enable CONFIG_SCSI (and drivers/ide/ 
usage is not that uncommon) that's a regression in the user interface.

If the lowlevel SCSI drivers move into a separate menu as your patch 
does, we simply no longer have any good reason for bothering the user 
with the CONFIG_SCSI.

I think that you can remove "such as" if you add SRP and SSA. "for
SCSI transports such as Fibre Channel, FireWire, SAS, iSCSI, SRP, or
SSA" should be fine. But I'm not sure that scsi-ml has a SSA hba
driver. If not, we could remove SSA.

Although it's no longer required that the user sees the CONFIG_SCSI

Maybe you can hide CONFIG_SCSI, but you still need to provide the above
information --- then under the sd, sr, st, sg options, which may
actually be the better places although it increases redundancy.

Aha, first all interconnects/transports are configured.  If none of them
'select'ed SCSI, the menu for sd, sr, st stays invisible.  Otherwise it
is exposed.

It still doesn't entirely clarify whether users need sd, sr, st, and
whether thy need sd for the disk with root filesystem.

If you want to do it in a really perfect way, help texts aren't the 
solution. You'll have to make the options like CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR no 
longer be user visible and select'ed through dummy options like e.g.:

config USB_STORAGE
        tristate "USB Mass Storage support"
        depends on USB
	select SCSI
	help
	  ...

config USB_STORAGE_SD
	tristate "USB Mass Storage hard disk support"
	depends on USB_STORAGE
	select BLK_DEV_SD
	help
	  ...

config USB_STORAGE_SR
        tristate "USB Mass Storage CD/DVD support"
        depends on USB_STORAGE
	select BLK_DEV_SR
        help
          ...

Perfect is in the eye of the beholder.  You would consequently have to
add such options into all menus which contain scsi low-level providers.

Also, one more question on whether CONFIG_SCSI ought to be 'select'ed:
Where do scsi-core options like CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS go?

Kconfig is a user interface, so perfect is what is best for the
kconfig users.

> Also, one more question on whether CONFIG_SCSI ought to be 'select'ed:
> Where do scsi-core options like CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS go?

The first question is whether it's for actual SCSI hardware [1] or for 
the block layer functionality which the SCSI subsystem has become.
The mixture of these two is the root of much user confusion.

With the help text "The error messages regarding your SCSI hardware will 
be easier to understand if you say Y here" a user wouldn't have expected 
to see you using it in a firewire driver. But unless I miss anything, 
the setting of SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC does only affect "real" SCSI hardware.

If you check each option and place it either in the generic storage menu 
or the SCSI lowlevel menu this would fix much possible user confusion.

But these are relatively unimportant options compared to e.g.
USB_STORAGE=y, BLK_DEV_SD=n, which is a misconfiguration many
users run into, so having one menu somewhere with these advanced 
options should be enough.

Duplicate options with different names in different menus, but which all
do the same, --- is this the best for users?

FireWire hardware which implements SBP-2 is SCSI hardware...  But this
detail aside --- yes, of course this help text is old and misleading.

> But unless I miss anything, 
> the setting of SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC does only affect "real" SCSI hardware.

It affects every hardware which is driven by scsi low-level providers
which have been integrated with the SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC facility.

True.

So,
    config SCSI_CONSTANTS
        "Kernel log messages from the SCSI subsystem will be easier to
        understand if you say Y here..."
would say what this option really does.  But to some degree the need to
explain what the SCSI subsystem or SCSI core is and which other
subsystems make use of it remains.  Maybe it's OK to provide
documentation of this kind outside of Kconfig help though.

> [1] SCSI as in "sold as SCSI"

Difficult.  Does e.g. hardware sold as SAS count as "sold as SCSI"?  How
about SBP-2 then?  ;-)

I recognize it's a rhetorical question :)  The answer is of course "no".

I hope the other participants of this thread register the severe 
disinclination of the maintainers to change this stuff, as this is a 
classic case of making a mountain out of a molehill[1].

For the -vast majority- of people configuring the kernel, this is not a 
problem.  Kernel people are -expected- to know what they're doing, 
especially when switching from one major subsystem to another.

Therefore, all this is IMO wasted effort and hot air.  There are far 
more important issues to deal with.

The same prompt existed in arch/i386/Kconfig without help text too but
it was later made invisible and automatic by pre-2.6.13 patch "remove
special HPET_EMULATE_RTC config option", commit
c91096d85c95c6b7fe8d7065e2aa6825e0bdaca9: "We had a user whose apps
weren't working correctly because his "rtc" wasn't working fully.  For
the sake of simplicity, it seems sensible to always enable HPET RTC
emulation."

  - So, which criteria influence whether HPET_EMULATE_RTC should be
    enabled on x86_64 or not?

  - In case that there is no compelling reason to disable it if its
    dependencies are satisfied, shouldn't it rather be invisible and
    automatic like on i386?

I doubt your claim is true since the vast majority of kconfig users
are most likely not kernel developers.

@Greg:
Do you have any numbers regarding how your "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell" 
is selling?
Even download numbers?

It's not only about switching, the same problems awaits people when 
configuring a kernel for their hardware the first time.

Why don't we dump kconfig and write the .config by hand?  ;-)

More seriously:
Yes, there are many other important issues in the kernel.
But not fixing kconfig UI problems doesn't fix these issues faster.

I have seen people running into problems because some required 
option wasn't set - in the simplest cases things like IDE without DMA 
because a help text wasn't updated when more hardware support was added 
to a driver.

You might not care about the kconfig users.
But other people do.

Different to your approach of trying to achieve the same with one huge 
help text I see a realistic chance of it working.

What's other alternatives do we have?

Automatically select BLK_DEV_SD and BLK_DEV_SR if one driver that uses 
the SCSI layer gets enabled by the user?

This is a debug option and it's unlikely that users will need it unless 
someone explicitely requested them to do so, so it's not such an 
important issue.

If SBP-2 is what you get in a shop when asking for an external
Firewire disk enclosure then it's not sold as SCSI.

Agreed, and actually not fixing Kconfig UI problems will make the other
issues being fixed *slower* (because they result in *increased* workload
on developers' side).

This is why nowadays IDE DMA support is automatically selected by IDE
host drivers that need it - a big relief for everybody.

In this case, no bar is being "raised," for any user.

Irrelevant in this case, because there is no increased workload on the 
developer's side.

Please don't take this any more off-topic than it already is.

IDE DMA option was vastly different.  The options in question here 
affect whether or not you have a block device to use -- something that 
is immediately obviously and corrected quickly.

There is no problem, in this case.

Otherwise, there would be more than a complaint or two per year.

It has already been raised by making SATA configuration counterintuitive
(SATA has a separate Kconfig menu but depends on SCSI device drivers).

OK, I'll stop here and I'll just patiently wait till the SATA Kconfig
issue comes up again on LKML (then I'll just smile and move on to
the next post 8).

Indeed -- completely different situation.

It is selling reasonably well for an O'Reilly book from what I have been
told.  But I have not seen any real numbers yet.

The downloads are spread around all of the kernel.org mirrors so I have
absolutely no idea what they are.

Nor do I really want to, as it doesn't matter to me.

 SCSI is a generic peripheral bus (recall the expansion of the acronym).  
Even though probably the most common, storage is one of its applications 
only (think scanners for an immediately obvious other one).  I find 
describing CONFIG_SCSI as "storage support" misleading and inappropriate.

 Referring to your example it is like calling generic networking (i.e. 
CONFIG_NET) "Ethernet support".

The expansion of the acronym doesn't fit anymore to what SCSI is today,
or even to what it became already circa 10 years ago.

Right.  I wrote that in lack of better words, but at least I added "SCSI
commands" in parentheses.  Something like "SCSI I/O - core and command
sets" would much better describe what it is, but it would put "SCSI"
first again and thus wouldn't reflect that  Linux' SCSI core and
highlevel is in broader use than just for actual SCSI hardware...  Of
course there is no way around the issue that Linux' SCSI core's and
highlevel's role cannot be characterized in 3...6 words only, but there
should be a way to point out its general importance.

Wrong comparison.
