[PATCH] drivers/block/*: use time_after() and friends

2006-03-28T17:16:06+00:00

They deal with wrapping correctly and are nicer to read.

BUG_ON() Conversion in drivers/block/

2006-03-24T17:50:27+00:00

this changes if() BUG(); constructs to BUG_ON() which is
cleaner, contains unlikely() and can better optimized away.

[PATCH] drivers/block: Use ARRAY_SIZE macro

2006-01-09T04:14:08+00:00

Use ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]) and remove a
duplicate of ARRAY_SIZE. Some trailing whitespaces are also removed.

drivers/block/acsi* has been left out as it's marked BROKEN.

[PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method

2006-01-09T04:13:54+00:00

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.

[1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets ->start
    to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
    the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
    sector size.

[BLOCK] add @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn()

2006-01-06T08:49:03+00:00

add @uptodate argument to end_that_request_last() and @error
to rq_end_io_fn().  there's no generic way to pass error code
to request completion function, making generic error handling
of non-fs request difficult (rq->errors is driver-specific and
each driver uses it differently).  this patch adds @uptodate
to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn().

for fs requests, this doesn't really matter, so just using the
same uptodate argument used in the last call to
end_that_request_first() should suffice.  imho, this can also
help the generic command-carrying request jens is working on.

[PATCH] kfree cleanup: misc remaining drivers

2005-11-07T15:54:05+00:00

This is the remaining misc drivers/ part of the big kfree cleanup patch.

Remove pointless checks for NULL prior to calling kfree() in misc files in
drivers/.

[PATCH] DAC960: add support for Mylex AcceleRAID 4/5/600

2005-05-05T23:36:43+00:00

This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers.  It's based
on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18.  That driver is a
fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of
controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960
V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support
for all others.

This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.

Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and
testing this patch.

No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's
idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver.

Note: the really odd formating matches the rest of the DAC960 driver.
