This makes it sound like unmapped I/O and rotating media support will be removed in FreeBSD 15.

From the context, I think you just mean that the separate sysctl variables to control those settings will be removed, not the underlying support. Is that correct?

If so, maybe we could change the description to something like "Unmapped I/O sysctl var is *DEPRECATED*, gone in FreeBSD 15"

If not, and you really mean that unmapped I/O and rotating media are getting removed, then I probably missed the discussion and I'd like to know why.

Yes you are right.

The unmapped I/O and rotating media are now flag bits. The sysctl knobs are kept only for compatibility (with old programs).

Sounds good.

It's just the sysctl. The info has moved. But I added it and people have been slow to move... so maybe we don't rush the removal...

Plus these all are read only: there's no control here.

Address @ken 's comments.

Within the context, Unmapped I/O sysctl should be clear enough.

Looks good, thank you!

sys/cam/ata/ata_da.c
1546	"The device is using unmapped I/O. sysctl..." Might be better with a similar rewording below.

sys/cam/ata/ata_da.c
1546	What about `Use unmapped I/O. This sysctl is DEPRECATED, gone in FreeBSD 15` ? That is shorter. 1 means use, 0 otherwise.
1550	`Rotating media. This sysctl is DEPRECATED, gone in FreeBSD 15` sounds much clear. @imp How about this one ?

A friendly ping before committing this.

sys/cam/ata/ata_da.c
1546	"Uses unmapped I/O." sounds better, but otherwise I like the above.
1550	I like it.

Also... with the tweak. This is approved

Is there enough space in the message to help users by giving them a reference to the new interface to express the same configuration and what form of reference would work well for this?

Prefer UNMAPPEDIO and ROTATING from flags sysctl

I think the commit message is clear. Maybe I should point to the flags sysctl directly.
This is one from my machine.

# sysctl kern.cam.ada.0.flags
kern.cam.ada.0.flags: 0x1be3bde<CAN_48BIT,CAN_FLUSHCACHE,CAN_NCQ,CAN_DMA,WAS_OTAG,CAN_TRIM,OPEN,SCTX_INIT,CAN_POWERMGT,CAN_DMA48,CAN_LOG,CAN_WCACHE,CAN_RAHEAD,PROBED,ANNOUNCED,DIRTY,PIM_ATA_EXT,UNMAPPEDIO>
