| | * [PATCH] e1000: revert to single descriptor for legacy receive pathJeff Kirsher2006-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent patch attempted to enable more efficient memory usage by using only 2kB descriptors for jumbo frames. The method used to implement this has since been commented upon as "illegal" and in recent kernels even causes a BUG when receiving ip fragments while using jumbo frames. This patch simply goes back to the way things were. We expect some complaints due to order 3 allocations failing to come back due to this change.

| * | | [PATCH] pcmcia: add id for AMB8110 PC CardJesse Allen2006-03-01

In the old pcmcia-cs config file, this card is listed with the comment "not specific enough". The last entry in the axnet_ids has the same comment. They are disabled, and for good reason as it was originally identified by the MANFID, and that is shared with several cards that use both the pcnet_cs driver and axnet_cs driver. I tried my AMB8110 with pcnet_cs, and found that it works fine, and I cannot find a reason for either, except that the old config file recommended axnet_cs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - change interface of the reset functions from Scsi_Cmnd to Scsi_Host. - add functions with the original interface and rename the new functions to reflect the new interface. - call these from the pcmcia driver, thereby avoiding the need to construct a (broken) Scsi_Cmnd from a Scsi_Host. - just run the bh if the interrupt is from the controller and if so ensure that it's only called once per interrupt.

Modify code in fc_remote_port_add() to scan the fc_host_rport_bindings() array for consistent bindings regardless of role-type. Original code would only scan bindings array for targets, causing duplicate fc_remote_ports/rport-X:Y-Z entries to be created for the yet-to-be-role-changed rports.

When booting an opposite byte sex kernel (e.g. an LE kernel from BE RedBoot) the current MTD driver fails to handle the partition table and therefore is unable to generate the correct partition map for the flash. So far as I am aware this problem is ARM specific, because only ARM supports software change of the CPU (memory system) byte sex, however the partition table parsing is in generic MTD code. The patch below has been tested on NSLU2 (an IXP4XX based system) with a patch, 10-ixp4xx-copy-from.patch (submitted to linux-arm-kernel - it's ARM specific) required to make the maps/ixp4xx.c driver work with an LE kernel. Builds of the patched system are in the 'unstable' release of OpenSlug and UcSlugC available from www.nslu2-linux.org. These builds are BE, the archives at www.nslu2-linux.org and www.handhelds.org (see monotone.vanille.de) can be built LE (currently DISTRO targets nslu-ltu.conf for LE thumb uclibc (32 bit kernel) and nslu2-lau.conf, nslu2-lag.conf for LE arm uclibc/glibc) and this patch has been tested extensively will both BE and LE systems on the NSLU2 (including swapping between BE and LE by reflashing from both RedBoot and Linux). The patch recognises that the FIS directory (the partition table) is byte-reversed by examining the partition table size, which is known to be one erase block (this is an assumption made elsewhere in redboot.c). If the size matches the erase block after byte swapping the value then byte-reversal is assumed, if not no further action is taken. The patched code is fail safe; should redboot.c be changed to support a partition table with a modified size field the test will fail and the partition table will be assumed to have the host byte sex. If byte-reversal is detected the patch byte swaps the remainder of the 32 bit fields in the copy of the table; this copy is then used to set up the MTD partition map.

The above would only happen if the 'negative_timeout=N' option was used, otherwise lookups reply -ENOENT, which worked correctly.
