packet: fix error handling

2007-04-25T20:50:55+00:00

The packet driver is assuming (reasonably) that the (undocumented)
request.errors is an errno.  But it is in fact some mysterious bitfield.  When
things go wrong we return weird positive numbers to the VFS as pointers and it
goes oops.

Thanks to William Heimbigner for reporting and diagnosis.

(It doesn't oops, but this driver still doesn't work for William)

paride drivers: initialize spinlocks

2007-04-24T15:23:08+00:00

pcd_lock and pf_spin_lock are passed to blk_init_queue() which, seeing them
as valid lock pointer, sets it as ->queue_lock.

The problem is that pcd_lock and pf_spin_lock aren't initialized anywhere.

[PATCH] cciss: unregister from SCSI before tearing down device resources

2007-04-12T22:31:42+00:00

We must unregister from SCSI before we unmap device resources and unhook
the IRQ handler.  Otherwise, SCSI may send us more requests, and we won't
be able to handle them.

I see the following oops during every reboot of my HP DL360:

[PATCH] initramfs should not depend on CONFIG_BLOCK

2007-03-06T17:30:25+00:00

initramfs ended up depending on BLOCK:

  INITRAMFS_SOURCE <-- BLK_DEV_INITRD <-- BLOCK

This inhibits use of customized-initramfs-over-ramfs without block layer
(ramfs would still be enabled), useful in embedded applications.

Move BLK_DEV_INITRD out of 'drivers/block/Kconfig' and into 'init/Kconfig',
make it unconditional.

This patch adds support for the struct pci_driver shutdown method to cciss.

[PATCH] cciss: fix for 2TB support

2007-03-06T17:30:25+00:00

This patch changes the way we determine if a logical volume is larger than
2TB.

The original test looked for a total_size of 0.  Originally we added 1 to the
total_size.  That would make our read_capacity return size 0 for >2TB lv's.
We assumed that we could not have a lv size of 0 so it seemed OK until we were
in a clustered system.  The backup node would see a size of 0 due to the
reservation on the drive.  That caused the driver to switch to 16-byte CDB's
which are not supported on older controllers.  After that everything was
broken.

It may seem petty but I don't see the value in trying to determine if the LBA
is beyond the 2TB boundary.  That's why when we switch we use 16-byte CDB's
for all read/write operations.  Please consider this for inclusion.
