1 | Release Date : Mon Mar 07 12:27:22 EST 2005 - Seokmann Ju <sju@lsil.com> | ||
2 | Current Version : 2.20.4.6 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module) | ||
3 | Older Version : 2.20.4.5 (scsi module), 2.20.2.5 (cmm module) | ||
4 | |||
5 | 1. Added IOCTL backward compatibility. | ||
6 | Convert megaraid_mm driver to new compat_ioctl entry points. | ||
7 | I don't have easy access to hardware, so only compile tested. | ||

10 | 2. megaraid_mbox fix: wrong order of arguments in memset() | ||
11 | That, BTW, shows why cross-builds are useful-the only indication of | ||
12 | problem had been a new warning showing up in sparse output on alpha | ||
13 | build (number of exceeding 256 got truncated). | ||

18 | Convert from pci_module_init to pci_register_driver | ||

22 | 4. Use the pre defined DMA mask constants from dma-mapping.h | ||
23 | Use the DMA_{64,32}BIT_MASK constants from dma-mapping.h when calling | ||
24 | pci_set_dma_mask() or pci_set_consistend_dma_mask(). See | ||

30 | 5. Remove SSID checking for Dobson, Lindsay, and Verde based products. | ||
31 | Checking the SSVID/SSID for controllers which have Dobson, Lindsay, | ||
32 | and Verde is unnecessary because device ID has been assigned by LSI | ||
33 | and it is unique value. So, all controllers with these IOPs have to be | ||
34 | supported by the driver regardless SSVID/SSID. | ||

38 | Subject RFC: assert_spin_locked() for 2.6 | ||
39 | |||
40 | Greetings! | ||
41 | |||
42 | overcautious programming will kill your kernel ;) | ||
43 | ever thought about checking a spin_lock or even | ||
44 | asserting that it must be held (maybe just for | ||
45 | spinlock debugging?) ... | ||
46 | |||
47 | there are several checks present in the kernel | ||
48 | where somebody does a variation on the following: | ||
49 | |||
50 | BUG_ON(!spin_is_locked(&some_lock)); | ||
51 | |||
52 | so what's wrong about that? nothing, unless you | ||
53 | compile the code with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK but | ||
54 | without CONFIG_SMP ... in which case the BUG() | ||
55 | will kill your kernel ... | ||
56 | |||
57 | maybe it's not advised to make such assertions, | ||
58 | but here is a solution which works for me ... | ||
59 | (compile tested for sh, x86_64 and x86, boot/run | ||
60 | tested for x86 only) | ||
61 | |||
62 | best, | ||
63 | Herbert | ||
