* [PATCH] Fix BUG at drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c:1118 caused by "pktsetup dvd ↵Christoph Hellwig2007-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | /dev/sr0" Fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7667 This is because the packet driver tries to send down read/write BLOCK_PC commands that don't use a bio and do not use sg lists. The right fix is to replace all the packet_command stuff in the packet driver by scsi_execute() which needs to be lifted from scsi code to the block code for that. Fix the bug for now. It's not the full way to a generic execute block pc infrastcuture but fixes the bug for the time being.

* [PATCH] fix aoe without scatter-gather [Bug 7662]Ed L. Cashin2006-12-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug that only appears when AoE goes over a network card that does not support scatter-gather. The headers in the linear part of the skb appeared to be larger than they really were, resulting in data that was offset by 24 bytes. This patch eliminates the offset data on cards that don't support scatter-gather or have had scatter-gather turned off. There remains an unrelated issue that I'll address in a separate email.

| * [PATCH] cciss: fix XFER_READ/XFER_WRITE in do_cciss_requestMike Miller2006-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a stupid bug. Sometime during the 2tb enhancement I ended up replacing the macros XFER_READ and XFER_WRITE with h->cciss_read and h->cciss_write respectively. It seemed to work somehow at least on x86_64 and ia64. I don't know how. But people started complaining about command timeouts on older controllers like the 64xx series and only on ia32. This resolves the issue reproduced in our lab. Please consider this for inclusion. Thanks, mikem Signed-off-by: Mike Miller <mike.miller@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
| * [PATCH] cciss: set default raid level when reading geometry failsMike Miller2006-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch sets a default raid level on a volume that either does not support reading the geometry or reports an invalid geometry for whatever reason.

* | WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells2006-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
* | WorkStruct: Merge the pending bit into the wq_data pointerDavid Howells2006-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reclaim a word from the size of the work_struct by folding the pending bit and the wq_data pointer together. This shouldn't cause misalignment problems as all pointers should be at least 4-byte aligned. Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
