      [PATCH] New SCSI host_byte status code. · 4cc930d9
      Naveen Burmi authored
      At present there is no way to retry, if allowed, a scsi command without
      decrementing the scsi command's retry count.
      
      Please find a patch attached, which is submitted, for adding a new host_byte
      status code called "DID_IMM_RETRY". This enables the Low Level SCSI drivers
      to initiate retry of a scsi command without decrementing the scsi commad's
      retry count.

      Jamie Lenehan authored
      Move version information from .h to .c so that it's more likely to
      get updated as changes are made (the .h file is rarely modified).

      [PATCH] dc395x [4/5] - debugging cleanup · 6af905f8
      Jamie Lenehan authored
      Clean up debugging statements. Work on making output consistent - use
      the same format each time the same bit of information is output and
      output the same bits of information in the same order each time it's
      output. Update a lot of the actual messages to include useful
      information and to explain better what some things are. Remove some
      old comments and commented out code. Remove some of the debugging
      states. Find few instance of spaces that should have been tabs and
      trailing white space and remove them.

      [PATCH] dc395x [3/5] - remove old debugging stuff · 9e181b63
      Jamie Lenehan authored
      Remove the special versions of kmalloc and kfree and remove the trace
      related stuff from the code. None of this is really needed and it is
      not really a nice implementation. This also removes all non 7-bit
      clean characters to help with David Eger's work to remove and/or
      convert them all to UTF8.

      Jamie Lenehan authored
      Formatting cleanups.
      - Remove lots of comments that were out-of-date, wrong, or now
        described things that had been simplified that much that the
        comments were no longer needed.
      - Move the "static" definition from a line before functions onto the
        same line as the function itself.
      - Remove "return;" from the end of void functions.
      - Remove braces from around single instructions.
      - Merge the declaration and assignment to variables in places where
        the followed each other.
      - Remove braces from around single statement that obviously didn't
        need them.
      - Remove unused code and variables.
      - Fix debug statement in disconnect to not deref potentially null
        ptr.
      - Change a lot of short comments that take up three lines down to one
        line.

      Make the SCSI mempool allocations variable · 9dd0d138
      James Bottomley authored
      We still retain the default MAX_PHYS_SEGMENTS (which
      is currently 128).  However, a mechanism for raising
      the limit correctly is added for people who wish to
      benchmark with larger sglists.
      
      A decision on how we present this to the user will be
      taken at a later time when more information about
      the usefulness of a higher limit is available

      SCSI: implement transport attributes for 53c700 · 63ad6957
      James Bottomley authored
      his patch moves the internal storage of the offset and period to the
      transport class and adds methods to set them (there's no need for a get
      method since the value in the transport class is exactly what the driver
      believes the transport agreement to be).
      
      You can see how this type of use of the transport class is supposed to
      work: the driver now has init and exit routines attaching and releasing
      the transport class (that's the reason for the Makefile perturbation
      because it has to init before its users).  The correct attributes are
      set up in slave_configure() for negotiation and we now export the period
      and offset setting functions.

      SCSI: Make SPI transport attributes mutable · 1b98ec6b
      James Bottomley authored
      This adds the final missing piece to the transport attributes:  A
      published API by which they can be set and retrieved (SPI attributes
      only).  The sysfs field only appears writeable if the driver supplied a
      set method in the attribute template, so unsettable attributes show up
      as read only.
      
      The consequence now is that the spi transport attribute class is no
      longer a simple exported structure: the driver has to attach to the spi
      transport class at module initialisation.

      2. make period settable as the ppr/sdtr period, but display in ns for
      the user.

      [PATCH] USB 6-in-1 card reader blacklist addition · 9167017d
      Dave Jones authored
      Yes, someone really was stupid enough to make a device with
      such a dumb vendor name. In combination with the device name
      and rev number though, it shouldn't cause any false positives.
      
      Device in question is some no-name 6-in-1 usb card reader,
      whose slots all appear on different LUNs, requiring you
      fiddle with scis_mod's max_luns argument unless you have this patch.

      [PATCH] SCSI Midlayer initiated START_UNIT · b362c0a1
      Brian King authored
      The ipr driver that is currently out for review talks to disk array devices
      that require a START_UNIT prior to media ops, similar to normal scsi devices.
      However, any time the adapter gets reset, these devices end up needing another
      START_UNIT. This causes problems with the current error handling and these
      devices get taken offline when this occurs. Attached is a patch which will
      better handle these devices and issue a START_UNIT from the error handler
      when appropriate.

      [PATCH] add missing free sgtable in scsi_init_io error path · 8ea6bc67
      Mike Christie authored
      I was testing different errors while running multipath, and becuase of
      a bug in dm-multiapth I hit the "Incorrect number of segments after
      building list" error. The attached patch just adds a missing
      scsi_release_buffers() at the bottom of the scsi_init_io where the
      table was allocated successfully, but you can return BLKPREP_KILL when
      someone messes up segment counts.

      [PATCH] SCSI tape sysfs name fixes · 59294772
      Kai Mäkisara authored
      - The sysfs directory names are changed from stxmy[n] to the names in
        devices.txt. Below is an example for the first tape drive:
        /sys/class/scsi_tape/
        |-- nst0
        |-- nst0a
        |-- nst0l

        |-- st0a
        |-- st0l
        `-- st0m
      
      - Name generation for non-default number of modes fixed so that same
        minors get same names even with different number of modes.
      
      - devfs minor generation fixed to work with non-default number of modes
      
      - The alignment requirement is printed in the line logged when a tape is
        attached.

      [PATCH] SCSI sysfs host name support · d15bf113
      Kurt Garloff authored
      OK, let's export the proc_name then. It's some name that can be used
      to identify the driver, works for code both compiled statically or
      as module, is reasonably short and very often resembles the module
      name.
      
      For the module_name, let's wait for a generic sysfs solution.

      [PATCH] SCSI: remove some SGI devices from the device list · 6e1a545e
      Jeremy Higdon authored
      Some SGI RAID devices identify as being SCSI-3, so they don't need
      to be in the scsi_static_device_list any more.  I've tested to make
      sure that all luns still show up in a sparse, large config.
      
      So I'm proposing removing them.  Thanks to hch for the suggestion.

      [PATCH] Support AGP bridge on Nvidia Nforce3 + cleanup · a33161f5
      Andi Kleen authored
      For some unknown reasons Nvidia NForce3 doesn't use the standard Hammer AGP architecture,
      but requires set up of some shadow registers. This patch adds that to the K8 AGP driver.
      
      Based on an old 2.4 patch from someone at Nvidia.
      
      Also includes another bug fix for the K8 AGP handler, from Brad House.
      We should not assume that there is only one northbridge in a Uniprocessor system.
      Always flush all.
      
      Also some minor cleanup.

      [PATCH] New machine check handler for x86-64 · 047379fb
      Andi Kleen authored
      This adds a new completely rewritten machine check handler for x86-64.
      The old one never worked on 2.6.
      
      The new handler has many improvements. It closely follows the Intel and AMD
      recommendations on MCE handlers now (the old one had many violations). It handles
      unrecoverable errors in user space better now - it will only kill the process now
      if possible instead of panicing.
      
      This one is CPU independent now - it should work on any CPU that supports the standard
      x86 MCA architecture.
      
      This new handler only logs fatal errors that lead to kernel panic to the console.
      Non fatal errors are logged race free into a new (non ring) buffer now
      and supplied to the user using a new character device.  The old one could
      deadlock on console and printk locks. This also separates machine check errors
      from real kernel errors better. The new buffer has been also designed to
      be easily accessible from external debugging tools: it has a signature
      and could be even recovered after reboot. It is not organized as a ring buffer -
      this means the first errors are kept unless explicitely cleared.
      
      The new error formats can be parsed using ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/ak/x86-64/mcelog.c
      The new character device for it can be created with mknod /dev/mcelog c 10 227
      
      There is a new sysfs interface to configure the machine check handler.
      It has a "tolerant" parameter that defines the aggressiveness of the machine check:
      
      0: always panic
      1: panic if deadlock possible (e.g. MCE happened in the kernel)
      2: try to avoid panic
      
      Default is 2
      
      Despite of having more features the new handler is shorter.

      [PATCH] add syscalls.h · 0bab0642
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: "Randy.Dunlap" <rddunlap@osdl.org>
      
      Add syscalls.h, which contains prototypes for the kernel's system calls.
      Replace open-coded declarations all over the place.  This patch found a
      couple of prior bugs.  It appears to be more important with -mregparm=3 as we
      discover more asmlinkage mismatches.
      
      Some syscalls have arch-dependent arguments, so their prototypes are in the
      arch-specific unistd.h.  Maybe it should have been asm/syscalls.h, but there
      were already arch-specific syscall prototypes in asm/unistd.h...
      
      Tested on x86, ia64, x86_64, ppc64, s390 and sparc64.  May cause
      trivial-to-fix build breakage on other architectures.
