Merge tag 'spdx-5.10-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/spdx

2020-10-14T23:19:42+00:00

Pull SPDX updates from Greg KH:
 "Here are some SPDX-specific changes for 5.10-rc1.

  They include:

   - driver fixes to make spdxcheck.pl work properly

   - add GFDL licenses as "deprecated" but required due to some of our
     documentation using them

   - add Zlib license as "deprecated" but required because we have code
     with this license in the tree.

   - convert some drivers to have SPDX identifiers that previously
     didn't have them.

  All have been in linux-next for a very long time with no reported
  issues"

All files in this driver directory contain the following notice:

  See LICENSE.qla2xxx for copyright and licensing details.

LICENSE.qla2xxx can be found in Documentation/scsi/. The file contains:

  - A copyright notice

    This copyright notice is redundant as all files contain the same
    copyright notice already

  - A license notice

    You may modify and redistribute the device driver code under the
    GNU General Public License (a copy of which is attached hereto as
    Exhibit A) published by the Free Software Foundation (version 2).

    This can be replaced with the corresponding SPDX license identifier
    (GPL-2.0-only) in the source files which reference this license
    file.

  - The full GPLv2 license text

    A redundant copy of LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0

Remove the notices and add the SPDX license identifier GPL-2.0-only to the
source files.

Finally remove the now redundant LICENSE.qla2xxx file.

scsi: docs: Remove obsolete scsi typedef text from scsi_mid_low_api

2020-09-09T02:02:10+00:00

Commit 91ebc1facd77 ("scsi: core: remove Scsi_Cmnd typedef") removed the
Scsi_cmnd typedef but it was still mentioned in a paragraph in the "SCSI
mid_level - lower_level driver interface" documentation page.  Remove this
obsolete paragraph.

scsi: docs: Update outdated link to IBM developerworks

2020-07-08T04:50:54+00:00

IBM decided to retire a lot of the content that was previously hosted on
"developerworks", and so some of the links we've used for documentation are
now dead or redirect to some general landing page with no correlation to
what the links were meant to provide.

The s390-tools package is meanwhile also hosted on github, so we can link
to the script directly instead of to the archive.

Merge tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi

2020-04-03T00:03:53+00:00

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This series has a huge amount of churn because it pulls in Mauro's doc
  update changing all our txt files to rst ones.

  Excluding that, we have the usual driver updates (qla2xxx, ufs, lpfc,
  zfcp, ibmvfc, pm80xx, aacraid), a treewide update for scnprintf and
  some other minor updates.

  The major core change is Hannes moving functions out of the aacraid
  driver and into the core"

scsi: simplify scsi_partsize

2020-03-24T13:57:07+00:00

Call scsi_bios_ptable from scsi_partsize instead of requiring boilerplate
code in the callers.  Also switch the calling convention to match that
of the ->bios_param instances calling this function, and use true/false
for the return value instead of the weird -1 convention.

scsi: docs: convert arcmsr_spec.txt to ReST

2020-03-12T03:08:03+00:00

This file had its own peculiar style, not following any other
files inside the Kernel (as far as I saw).

Had to do a number of changes here, starting by removing the two
leading asterisks from each line, adding table and literal
block markups and changing whitespace and blank lines.

The end result is that (IMHO), it is now a lot easier to read
it as a text file, while producing a good html output.
