2005-07-14[SCSI] Redundant this_count check in sd_init_command()Chen, Kenneth W
I was going over the scsi I/O submit path, when sd_init_command construct the scsi command, this_count is already checked in the previous else if clause. Why does it need to check it again in the last else block? Patch to delete the spurious check.

2005-05-26[SCSI] TYPE_RBC cache fixes (sbp2.c affected)Al Viro
a) TYPE_SDAD renamed to TYPE_RBC and taken to scsi.h b) in sbp2.c remapping of TYPE_RPB to TYPE_DISK turned off c) relevant places in midlayer and sd.c taught to accept TYPE_RBC d) sd.c::sd_read_cache_type() looks into page 6 when dealing with TYPE_RBC - these guys have writeback cache flag there and are not guaranteed to have page 8 at all. e) sd_read_cache_type() got an extra sanity check - it checks that it got the page it asked for before using its contents. And screams if mismatch had happened. Rationale: there are broken devices out there that are "helpful" enough to go for "I don't have a page you've asked for, here, have another one". For example, PL3507 had been caught doing just that... f) sbp2 sets sdev->use_10_for_rw and sdev->use_10_for_ms instead of bothering to remap READ6/WRITE6/MOD_SENSE, so most of the conversions in there are gone now. Incidentally, I wonder if USB storage devices that have no mode page 8 are simply RBC ones. I haven't touched that, but it might be interesting to check...

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
