A more complete changelog, since packet-0.0.2j: - Fix b_count bh bug, forgot to release buffers - Fix lock_buffer buf - Remove pkt_gather_data rerun to print buggy buffer list, that bug has been fixed. - Changed proc layout to /proc/driver/pktcdvd/pktcdvdX, one file per writer. Also compiles without proc fs support now. - Set quiet bit on write cache settings, drive may not support it - Remove PACKET_WAKEUP ioctl (buggy too, noticed by jgarzik) - Merge with 2.4.5-pre1 - Added recovery mode - (with above) Added relocate_blocks super operation - Missing break in PACKET_GET_STATS ioctl - invalidate_device changes - Always piggy buffers to maintain b_end_io consistency - Change several BUG's to complain and abort nicely - Remove __dump_rq from ll_rw_blk and SCSI - Updated INSTALL and FAQ - Added kernel UDF diff - Fixup end_request handling - Put unplug back in - Rewrite kernel thread setup/exit - Set device RO on BLKROSET *.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/axboe/packet/ The sourceforge packages are going up as I write this, so should be there very soon. Note that a UDF patch is now included against the kernel UDF, so you don't have to use cvs udf for a stable setup. Background -- this is a module that allows transparent writing to CD-RW (CD-R will follow) discs, so you can use it as a big floppy basically. -- Jens Axboe
