[Linux-ia64] qla1280 driver update

[Linux-ia64] qla1280 driver update

[Jes Sorensen]

Hi

For those of you who wants to play with the updated qla1280 driver with
the latest kernels, an updated patch relative to David's 2.5.5 release
can be found at:

http://www.wildopensource.com/~jes/linux/qla-3.23.11.diff.gz

I haven't done extensive testing of this under 2.5.5, it's basically
just a port to 2.5.5 from the old 2.4.17 based (ie. spin lock changes to
match the better locking in 2.5.x).

Cheers,
Jes

You wouldn't happen to know where I could find a patch like this for
qlogicfc.c, would you?  It doesn't look like it works in 2.5.5
either...

Thanks,
Jesse

Not for qlogicfc.c, I think that driver is pretty much considered
obsolete. However I know Arjan is working on something for the qla2x00
driver written by QLogic which is just as messy as the 1280 used to
be. I think you can find Arjan's patches in the Red Hat RawHide SRPMS.

Cheers,

Excellent, thanks for the pointer.  I'll give the updated qla2x00
driver a try.

Thanks,
Jesse

If this works for you, would you mind to send me a patch relative to
2.5?  Given that qlogic seems to have abandoned the drivers, we might
just as well get them into a better shape; I'd do it myself except I'm
running short of time as I'll be on vacation next week.

Thanks,

Hmmm, it's my impression that Arjan wants to wait a bit until he's a bit
more pleased with the code.

Arjan?
