differences in megaraid2 v2.00.9 source from LSIL FTP and 2.4.24 tree

[Philippe Gramoullé]

 Hi,

I just compared the original source code from ftp.lsil.com and 2.4.24.
v2.00.9 megaraid driver and i'd like to know what are the differences and which one i should use.

I assume that the one in the 2.4.24 is the one to be used but i just wanted to be sure.

Thanks,

Philippe

The FTP driver is _only_ for Red Hat Enterprise LiNUX.
You have to clean the code to run on a standard kernel.

This is because stock 2.4 doesn't have the field host->lock, so
instead the lock must still be &io_request_lock.  This is correct.

There was a bug around this.  Ahh, found it (thanks gmane).  The
latter is correct of course.

sgl is incremented for each element in the routine, but
pci_dma_sync_sg needs the original buffer.
