2009-01-02[SCSI] st: convert dio path to use st_scsi_executeFUJITA Tomonori
This patch converts the dio path (mmap) to use st_scsi_execute. IOW, it removes scsi_execute_async in the non dio path. scsi_execute_async has gone! This also remove unused st_sleep_done.

2009-01-02[SCSI] st: add st_scsi_execute helper functionFUJITA Tomonori
st_scsi_execute is a helper function to perform SCSI commands involving data transfer between user and kernel space (st_read and st_write). It's the future plan to combine this with st_scsi_kern_execute helper function.

2009-01-02[SCSI] st: add struct rq_map_data supportFUJITA Tomonori
This adds struct rq_map_data and the array of pointers to store fragment buffers to struct st_buffer. This patch doesn't remove st_buf_fragment but the latter patch does.

2008-04-07[SCSI] st: add option to use SILI in variable block readsKai Makisara
Add new option MT_ST_SILI to enable setting the SILI bit in reads in variable block mode. If SILI is set, reading a block shorter than the byte count does not result in CHECK CONDITION. The length of the block is determined using the residual count from the HBA. Avoiding the REQUEST SENSE command for every block speeds up some real applications considerably.

Read does trigger it in my system. The bug is not associated with any specific HBA. st tries to do direct i/o in fixed block mode with reads that are not a multiple of tape block size. The patch in this message fixes the st problem by switching to using the driver buffer up to the next close of the device file in fixed block mode if the user asks for a read like this. I don't know why the bug has surfaced only after 2.6.17 although the st problem is old. There may be another bug in the block subsystem and this patch works around it. However, the patch fixes a problem in st and in this way it is a valid fix. This patch may also fix the bug 7900. The patch compiles and is lightly tested.

2006-06-29[SCSI] st: remove unused st_buffer.in_useMartin Habets
I noticed that in_use in st_buffer is not used. The patch below against 2.6.17-rc3 removes it, assuming there is no future use for it. It was tested in a sparc SS20 with a DLT4000.

2005-12-14[SCSI] convert st to use scsi_execute_asyncMike Christie
convert st to always send scatterlists and kill scsi_request usage. This is the same as last time as it was posted, but with Kai's patches merged and we now pass the bytes value to scsi_execute_async. TODO: - move DIO code to common place or make block layers usable for ULDs. - move buffer allocation code to common place for all ULDs to use. And make buffer allocation code handle all queue limits so we can find out about problems before calling scsi_execute_async. - move indirect (copy_to/from_user) paths commone place or make block layers usable for ULDs.

2005-08-08[SCSI] drivers/scsi/st.c: add reference count and related fixesKai Makisara
I have rediffed the patch against 2.6.13-rc5, done a couple of cosmetic cleanups, and run some tests. Brian King has acknowledged that it fixes the problems he has seen. Seems mature enough for inclusion into 2.6.14 (or later)? Nate's explanation of the changes: I've attached patches against 2.6.13rc2. These are basically identical to my earlier patches, as I found that all issues I'd seen in earlier kernels still existed in this kernel. To summarize, the changes are: (more details in my original email) - add a kref to the scsi_tape structure, and associate reference counting stuff - set sr_request->end_io = blk_end_sync_rq so we get notified when an IO is rejected when the device goes away - check rq_status when IOs complete, else we don't know that IOs rejected for a dead device in fact did not complete - change last_SRpnt so it's set before an async IO is issued (in case st_sleep_done is bypassed) - fix a bogus use of last_SRpnt in st_chk_result Signed-off-by: Nate Dailey <nate.dailey@stratus.com> Signed-off-by: Kai Makisara <kai.makisara@kolumbus.fi> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
