* [SCSI] isd200: use one-element sg list in issuing commandsBoaz Harrosh2008-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - This patch should be commited before: usb: transport - convert to accessors and !use_sg code path removal - isd200_action() was still using direct liniar pointers in issuing commands to the USB transport level. This is no longer supported, use one-element scatterlist instead. - Adjustment of command's length in the case of scsi-to-ata translation is now restored before return to queuecommand, since other wise it can leak BIOs. - isd200_action() return Error on unknown requests. Used to print an error but still try to send garbage cdb. - convert few places to scsi data accessors. - Todo: This file will need to be changed when scsi_cmnd changes to scsi_data_buffer or any other solution.

* [SCSI] add DID_REQUEUE string to scsi_show_result host tableMike Christie2008-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I was working on patches which add new transport error values, when I noticed that DID_REQUEUE was not in the hostbyte_table. I do not think there is any way to hit the code path where scsi_show_result is called and where you return DID_REQUEUE, because DID_REQUEUE causes scsi-ml to always requeue the command. However, for completeness and because I want to one day send a patch that tries to add new host bytes values, I am sending this patch.

The aic994xx will accept "update bios_file" and "verify bios_file" commands to perform update and verify BIOS image . For example: Type "echo "update asc483c01.ufi" > /sys/devices/.../update_bios" to update BIOS image from /lib/firmware/as483c01.ufi file into HBA's flash memory. Type "echo "verify asc483c01.ufi" > /sys/devices/.../update_bios" to verify BIOS image between /lib/firmware/asc48c01.ufi file and HBA's flash memory. 4. Type "cat /sys/devices/.../update_bios" to view the status or result of updating BIOS.

According to the MIPS Malta board user's manual, writing the magic 32-bit GORESET value into the SOFTRES register initiates board soft reset. My experimentation has shown that the endianness of the GORESET integer should thereby be the same as the endianness, which has been set for the CPU itself. The writew() function used to write the magic value in the code introduced by the commit mentioned above, however, swaps bytes for big-endian kernels and transfers 16 bits instead of 32. The patch below replaces the writew() function by the __raw_writel() routine, which leaves the byte order intact and transfers the whole MIPS machine word. Trivial code cleanup (replacing spaces by a tab and cutting oversized lines to make checkpatch.pl happy) is also included. The patch was tested using a Malta evaluation board running in both BE and LE modes. For both modes, software reset was fully functional after the change. P.S. I suspect that the same commit broke the "standby" functionality for MIPS Atlas boards. However, I did not touch the Atlas code as I don't have such board at my disposal and also because the linux-mips.org Web site claims that Atlas support is scheduled for removal.

[Geert] - Corrected call sequence above - ps3fb_release() may be called with and without console_sem held. This is an inconsistency that should be fixed at the fb level, but for now, try to acquire console_sem in ps3fb_release(). I think it's safer to let ps3fb_release() try to acquire console_sem and not refresh the screen if it fails, than to call ps3fb_sync() without holding console_sem, as ps3fb_par may be modified at the same time, causing crashes or lockups. Besides, ps3fb_release() only calls ps3fb_sync() to refresh the screen when display flipping is disabled, which is an uncommon case (except during shutdown/kexec).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In ps3fb_shutdown, freeing the framebuffer will cause fb_info (in dev->core.driver_data) to be free()ed, which we potentially access from the ps3fbd kthread. This change frees the framebuffer after stopping the ps3fbd kthread.
