2006-09-13[PATCH] cciss: version update, new hwMike Miller
Add support for new hardware and bumps the version to 3.6.10. It seems there were several changes introduced including soft_irq. I decided to bump the major number to reflect these changes. Since we're still supporting older vendor kernels I need some way differentiate between kernel versions <=2.6.10 and newer kernels >=2.6.16.

2006-09-01[PATCH] exit early in floppy_init when no floppy existsOlaf Hering
modprobe -v floppy on a Apple G5 writes incorrect stuff to dmesg: Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 2.88M The reason is that the legacy io check happens very late, when part of the floppy stuff is already initialized. check_legacy_ioport() returns either -ENODEV right away, or it walks the device-tree looking for a floppy node.

2006-08-06[SCSI] Improve inquiry printingMatthew Wilcox
- Replace scsi_device_types array API with scsi_device_type function API. Gets rid of a lot of common code, as well as being easier to use. - Add the new device types in SPC4 r05a, and rename some of the older ones. - Reformat the printing of inquiry data; now fits on one line and includes PQ. I think I've addressed all the feedback from the previous versions.

2006-07-31[PATCH] nbd: Abort request on data reception failureMichal Feix
When reading from nbd device, we need to receive all the data after receiving reply packet from the server - otherwise such request will never be ended.

2006-07-14[PATCH] ramdisk blocksize Kconfig entryNathan Scott
Make the ramdisk blocksize configurable at kernel compilation time rather than only at boot or module load time, like a couple of the other ramdisk options. I found this handy awhile back but thought little of it, until recently asked by a few of the testing folks here to be able to do the same thing for their automated test setups. The Kconfig comment is largely lifted from comments in rd.c, and hopefully this will increase the chances of making folks aware that the default value often isn't a great choice here (for increasing values of PAGE_SIZE, even moreso).

2006-07-03[PATCH] lockdep: floppy.c irq release fixIngo Molnar
The lock validator triggered a number of bugs in the floppy driver, all related to the floppy driver allocating and freeing irq and dma resources from interrupt context. The initial solution was to use schedule_work() to push this into process context, but this caused further problems: for example the current floppy driver in -mm2 is totally broken and all floppy commands time out with an error. (as reported by Barry K. Nathan) This patch tries another solution: simply get rid of all that dynamic IRQ and DMA allocation/freeing. I doubt it made much sense back in the heydays of floppies (if two devices raced for DMA or IRQ resources then we didnt handle those cases too gracefully anyway), and today it makes near zero sense. So the new code does the simplest and most straightforward thing: allocate IRQ and DMA resources at module init time, and free them at module removal time. Dont try to release while the driver is operational. This, besides making the floppy driver functional again has an added bonus, floppy IRQ stats are finally persistent and visible in /proc/interrupts: 6: 63 XT-PIC-level floppy Besides normal floppy IO i have also tested IO error handling, motor-off timeouts, etc. - and everything seems to be working fine.

Hugh Dickins explains: "It seems too little tested: "losetup -d /dev/loop0" fails with EINVAL because nothing sets lo_thread; but even when you patch loop_thread() to set lo->lo_thread = current, it can't survive more than a few dozen iterations of the loop below (with a tmpfs mounted on /tst): j=0 cp /dev/zero /tst while : do let j=j+1 echo "Doing pass $j" losetup /dev/loop0 /tst/zero mkfs -t ext2 -b 1024 /dev/loop0 >/dev/null 2>&1 mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt umount /mnt losetup -d /dev/loop0 done it collapses with failed ioctl then BUG_ON(!bio).

2006-06-23[PATCH] drivers/block/loop.c: don't return garbage if LOOP_SET_STATUS not calledConstantine Sapuntzakis
While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop device was returning total garbage. It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl. This losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call. The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL, which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer. This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in loop_set_fd. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
