* [SCSI] convert st to use scsi_execute_asyncMike Christie2005-12-141-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [SCSI] drivers/scsi/st.c: add reference count and related fixesKai Makisara2005-08-081-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

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!
