Subject: [Linux-ia64] Latest QLA1280 driver patch
Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2001 20:22:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590698805092@msgid-missing> (raw)

Hi

I would like to announce the latest version of my patch for the QLA1280
SCSI driver.

The latest patch can be found at
http://www.trained-monkey.org/jes/linux/ the current release is 3.25.5,
relative to the driver shipped in David's 2.4.8 010815 kernel.

If someone has the opportunity to test this patch in a non ia64 box that
would be great. Unfortunately I only have access to the one qla1280 in
the ia64 box.

I have attached a list of the most significant changes I have made to
the driver so far.

Enjoy,
Jes

    Rev  3.23.5 Beta August 9, 2001, Jes Sorensen
       - Don't use SA_INTERRUPT, it's use is deprecated for this kinda driver
    Rev  3.23.4 Beta August 8, 2001, Jes Sorensen
       - Set dev->max_sectors to 1024
    Rev  3.23.3 Beta August 6, 2001, Jes Sorensen
       - Provide compat macros for pci_enable_device(), pci_find_subsys()
         and scsi_set_pci_device()
       - Call scsi_set_pci_device() for all devices
       - Reduce size of kernel version dependant device probe code
       - Move duplicate probe/init code to seperate function
       - Handle error if qla1280_mem_alloc() fails
       - Kill OFFSET() macro and use Linux's PCI definitions instead
       - Kill private structure defining PCI config space (struct config_reg)
       - Only allocate I/O port region if not in MMIO mode
       - Remove duplicate (unused) sanity check of sife of srb_t
    Rev  3.23.2 Beta August 6, 2001, Jes Sorensen
       - Change home-brew memset() implementations to use memset()
