[PATCH] cciss: version update, new hw

2006-09-13T14:32:16+00:00

Add support for new hardware and bumps the version to 3.6.10.  It seems
there were several changes introduced including soft_irq.  I decided to
bump the major number to reflect these changes.  Since we're still
supporting older vendor kernels I need some way differentiate between
kernel versions <=2.6.10 and newer kernels >=2.6.16.

[PATCH] exit early in floppy_init when no floppy exists

2006-09-01T18:39:08+00:00

modprobe -v floppy on a Apple G5 writes incorrect stuff to dmesg:

Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 2.88M

The reason is that the legacy io check happens very late,
when part of the floppy stuff is already initialized.
check_legacy_ioport() returns either -ENODEV right away, or it walks
the device-tree looking for a floppy node.

[PATCH] nbd: Abort request on data reception failure

2006-07-31T20:28:39+00:00

When reading from nbd device, we need to receive all the data after
receiving reply packet from the server - otherwise such request will never
be ended.

If socket is closed right after accepting reply control packet and in the
middle of waiting for read data, nbd_read_stat() returns NULL and
nbd_end_request() is not called.

This patch fixes it.

[PATCH] nbd: Check magic before doing anything else

2006-07-31T20:28:39+00:00

We should check magic sequence in reply packet before trying to find
request with it's request handle.  This also solves the problem with
"Unexpected reply" message beeing logged, when packet with invalid magic is
received.

[PATCH] lockdep: annotate pktcdvd natural device hierarchy

2006-07-31T20:28:39+00:00

The pkt_*_dev functions operate on not-this-blockdevice, and that is
sufficiently checked at setup time.  As a result there is a natural
hierarchy, which needs nesting annotations

[PATCH] cciss: fix stall with softirq handling and CFQ

2006-07-25T13:02:48+00:00

We need to postpone the queue startup until after the softirq
handler has actually finished some requests, otherwise we could
be racing with cciss_softirq_done() and not actually restart
the queue handling.

[PATCH] ramdisk blocksize Kconfig entry

2006-07-15T04:53:53+00:00

Make the ramdisk blocksize configurable at kernel compilation time rather
than only at boot or module load time, like a couple of the other ramdisk
options.  I found this handy awhile back but thought little of it, until
recently asked by a few of the testing folks here to be able to do the same
thing for their automated test setups.

The Kconfig comment is largely lifted from comments in rd.c, and hopefully
this will increase the chances of making folks aware that the default value
often isn't a great choice here (for increasing values of PAGE_SIZE, even
moreso).
