advansys modules fails to compile in 2.5.8-pre3

advansys modules fails to compile in 2.5.8-pre3

[Rasmus Bøg Hansen]

Hi

Two things:

When I try to compile kernel 2.5.8-pre3, I get this error:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/tmp/linux-2.5.7/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes 
-Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common 
-pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=athlon  -DMODULE  
-DKBUILD_BASENAME=advansys  -c -o advansys.o advansys.c
advansys.c:755:2: #error Please convert me to 
Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt
advansys.c: In function `asc_build_req':
advansys.c:6754: structure has no member named `address'
advansys.c:6754: structure has no member named `address'
advansys.c: In function `adv_get_sglist':
advansys.c:7014: structure has no member named `address'
advansys.c:7014: structure has no member named `address'
make[2]: *** [advansys.o] Error 1

make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_scsi] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/linux-2.5.7/drivers'
make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2

The error seems pretty obvious; the DMA interface changed - 
unfortunately I do not know anything about DMA...

One more thing:

In MAINTAINERS is this maintainer information about the advansys driver:

W:      http://www.advansys.com/linux.html

This web page does not exist. This error is common for 2.4.18 and 
2.5.8-pre3.

Regards
/Rasmus

Rasmus,

Point 1)
Here is a tarball of driver/scsi/advansys.[hc]
taken from lk 2.5.7-dj3. It is a bit big to attach
so you can fetch it here:
http://www.torque.net/sg/p/advansys257dj3.tgz

My advansys fix has been in Dave Jones's tree for nearly
2 months now (along with a lot of other SCSI fixes and
enhancements). Maybe if we said we were introducing a
new IO subsystem called the "small computer system
interface" we might be more successful having our patches
accepted :-)

Point 2)
From advansys.c:
 * As of March 8, 2000 Advanced System Products, Inc. (AdvanSys)
 * changed its name to ConnectCom Solutions, Inc.

Then if you go to www.connectcom.net you get told that
advansys has been taken over by initio.

Ah, so it's just me that hasn't discovered the patch yet; I should have 
known :-)

Hm, I was aware of the advansys -> ConnectCom change, but not the initio 
stuff. Nonetheless, the link is outdated, as the page does not exist 
anymore. It does not seem obvious to me, if initio has an equivalent 
page.

Thanks anyway
