| 2009-08-15 | cnic: Fix locking in start/stop calls. | Michael Chan | |
| The slow path ulp_start and ulp_stop calls to the bnx2i driver are sleepable calls and therefore should not be protected using rcu_read_lock. Fix it by using mutex and setting a bit during these calls. cnic_unregister_device() will now wait for the bit to clear before completing the call.

| 2009-06-09 | [SCSI] cnic: Add new Broadcom CNIC driver. | Michael Chan | |
| The CNIC driver controls BNX2 hardware rings and resources used by iSCSI. Most hardware resources for iSCSI are separate from those used for ethernet networking. iSCSI uses a separate MAC address and IP address. The CNIC driver creates a UIO interface to handle the non-offloaded packets such as ARP, etc in userspace. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Acked-by: David S.
