Subject: New SYM-2 driver version for Linux-2.4.19
Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2002 21:40:17 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021124212349.O199-100000@localhost.my.domain> (raw)
Hello,
I just made available my current version of the sym53c8xx_2 driver for
Linux. I have merged the changes from linux 2.4.19 and 2.5.45.
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/roudier/drivers/linux/stable/sym-2.1.19-pre3-for-linux-2.4.19.tar.gz
(Not sure the URL is full correct, but it shouldn't this wrong... :-))
There is also some code from me that has been added. ;)
Here is the ChangeLog addition:
- Merge changes from linux-2.4.19 and linux-2.5.45.
Rearrange the code for the source to compile and run on both
Linux versions + some rewrites for the code to look good to me ;).
- Add enough #if's for the smp locking to be source compatible for
both Linux branches.
- Move all the nvram related definitions to a separate header file
and add the code that allows to write to the NVRAM.
- Rearrange the code in function sym_snooptest().
- Test against DMA ressource shortage and return error condition
if such happens (the scatter code has been slightly rewritten).
- Add a new errata work-around for all C10*0 chips (SCNTL3 register
must not be altered when REQs occurs on the SCSI BUS).
A copy of the 'select' table (alt_sel) has been added in the CCB
for this work-around.
- A couple of minor changes + some typo fixes.
The code should also compile and run under Linux 2.5.45. I don't know for
now if it is compatible with any prior or further 2.5 branch kernel
version. I will resync with current linux SCSI as soon as I will have time
for.
You may let me know if you encounter problems with this new driver
version. Thanks.
Gérard.
