| * [PATCH 2/2] cciss: remove calls to pci_disable_devicemike.miller@hp.com2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes calls to pci_disable_device except in fail_all_cmds. The pci_disable_device function does something nasty to Smart Array controllers that pci_enable_device does not undo. So if the driver is unloaded it cannot be reloaded. Also, customers can disable any pci device via the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU). If the customer has disabled the controller we should not try to blindly enable the card from the driver.

* | [PATCH] remove the broken BLK_DEV_SWIM_IOP driverAdrian Bunk2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The BLK_DEV_SWIM_IOP driver has: - already been marked as BROKEN in 2.6.0 three years ago and - is still marked as BROKEN. Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future. But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still present in the older kernel releases.

* | 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>

* [PATCH] cciss: Fix warnings (and bug on 1TB discs)Matthew Wilcox2006-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | CCISS was producing warnings about shifts being greater than the size of the type and pointers being of incompatible type. Turns out this is because it's calling do_div on a 32-bit quantity. Upon further investigation, the sector_t total_size is being assigned to an int, and then we're calling do_div on that int. Obviously, sector_div is called for here, and I took the chance to refactor the code a little.

* aoe: fix sysfs_create_file warningsGreg Kroah-Hartman2006-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Moved the attributes into a group, making the compiler be quiet about ignoring the return value of the file create calls. This also also fixed a bug when removing the files, which were not symlinks. Cc: "Ed L. Cashin" <ecashin@coraid.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
