[SCSI] arcmsr: updates (1.20.00.15)

2008-02-08T00:02:44+00:00

- add arcmsr_enable_eoi_mode()and readl(reg->iop2drv_doorbell_reg) in
  arcmsr_handle_hbb_isr() on adapter Type B in case of the doorbell
  interrupt clearance is cached

- add conditional declaration for arcmsr_pci_error_detected() and
  arcmsr_pci_slot_reset

- check if the sg list member number exceeds arcmsr default limit in
  arcmsr_build_ccb()

- change the returned value type of arcmsr_build_ccb()from "void" to
  "int" returns FAILED in arcmsr_queue_command()

- modify arcmsr_drain_donequeue() to ignore unknown command and let
  kernel process command timeout.  This could handle IO request violating
  maximum segments, i.e.  Linux XFS over DM-CRYPT.  Thanks to Milan Broz's
  comments 

- fix the release of dma memory for type B in arcmsr_free_ccb_pool()

- fix the arcmsr_polling_hbb_ccbdone()

[SCSI] aacraid: add Voodoo Lite class of cards.

2008-01-23T17:29:34+00:00

The cards being added are supported in a limited sense already through
family matching, but we needed to add some functionality to the driver
to expose selectively the physical drives. These Physical drives are
specifically marked to not be part of any array and thus are declared
JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Drives) for generic SCSI access.

We report that this is the second patch in a set of two, but merely
depends on the stand-alone functionality of the first patch which adds
in that case the ability to report a driver feature flag via sysfs. We
leverage that functionality by reporting that this driver now supports
this new JBOD feature for the controller so that the array management
applications may react accordingly and guide the user as they manage
the controller.

other fixes.

- add more PCI device IDs
- support for adapters based on Marvell IOP
- fix a result code translation error on big-endian systems

[libata] Link power management infrastructure

2007-10-29T15:00:35+00:00

Device Initiated Power Management, which is defined
in SATA 2.5 can be enabled for disks which support it.
This patch enables DIPM when the user sets the link
power management policy to "min_power".

Additionally, libata drivers can define a function
(enable_pm) that will perform hardware specific actions to
enable whatever power management policy the user set up
for Host Initiated Power management (HIPM).
This power management policy will be activated after all
disks have been enumerated and intialized.  Drivers should
also define disable_pm, which will turn off link power
management, but not change link power management policy.

Documentation/scsi/link_power_management_policy.txt has additional
information.

[SCSI] sym53c8xx: Remove tag_ctrl module parameter

2007-10-23T19:11:57+00:00

With sysfs making these options tunable at runtime, there's no
justification for keeping this horrendously complex specification
string around.
