[PATCH] 2.4.17-pre7: fdomain_16x0_release undeclared

[PATCH] 2.4.17-pre7: fdomain_16x0_release undeclared

[Pavel Roskin]

Hello, Alan and all!

File drivers/scsi/fdomain.h declares a data structure FDOMAIN_16X0 using
an undeclared function fdomain_16x0_release() in Linux 2.4.17-pre7.

This is not a problem for the kernel itself, but it breaks compilation of
pcmcia-cs-3.1.30 because the later uses structure FDOMAIN_16X0.

The fix is trivial - declare fdomain_16x0_release() the same way as other
non-static functions from fdomain.c.

Another partly related problem is a warning in fdomain.c:

fdomain.c: In function `fdomain_16x0_release':
fdomain.c:2045: warning: control reaches end of non-void function

I wonder if the patches that introduce warnings should be allowed in the 
stable branch?  Anyway, comparing with other SCSI drivers I see that 0 
should be returned and scsi_unregister(shpnt) should be called before 
that.

Here's the patch.  The part for fdomain.h is 100% safe and should be
applied ASAP.  The part for fdomain.c should be safe too but I'll
appreciate if somebody tests it on a real Future Domain controller.

The second hunk of the your patch is already on my tree.

All the drivers I looked at return 1 and don't call scsi_unregister(shpnt).
Inspecting the core code shows that 

	1.	The return code is ignored (see I did test it worked 8))
	2.	scsi_unregister() is done by the core code for us

So I believe it simply needs a 

	return 1 

on the end

Strange.  That's what I see:

advansys.c:5777    scsi_unregister, return 0
eata.c:2069        scsi_unregister, return FALSE (i.e. 0)
inia100.c:790      no scsi_unregister, return 0
aha152x.c:1409     scsi_unregister, return 0
gdth.c:4373        scsi_unregister, return 0
ibmmca.c:1851      no scsi_unregister, return 0
53c7,8xx.c:6431    no scsi_unregister, return 1
eata_dma.c:146     no scsi_unregister, return 1

Anyway, if it doesn't matter then let's not waste time on it.
