[PATCH] Updated osst driver for 2.6.x
From: Willem Riede <wrlk@riede.org> Brings 2.6.x version of osst up to par with the 2.4.y version. Except for the /proc changes Tested against released 2.6.0 kernel. Changes from what's in the kernel tree today: - Fixes bug that files shorter than one 32K frame don't get written. - Fix a memory alloc/free mismatch that could have made your kernel unstable after rmmod osst. - Fix a number of tape (re)positioning bugs around filemarks that affected Amanda, Arkeia and Storix backup software. - Rationalize module parameters. - Fix time-out skipping to EOD - Write FM+EOD+Header-update when file write terminated by ioctl - Follow standard Unix behavior for read at EOD (return zero bytes read twice then error) - Implement SETBLK ioctl (allowed before first write only)
