      [PATCH] fix for Domain Validation hang on some devices with sym_2 · afe57355
      James Bottomley authored 
      There's a bad hang where the driver locks the system solid trying to do
domain validation with certain devices.  The one I've managed to
reproduce it with is a Quantum Atlas.

What happens is that setting the offset to zero is an async negotiation
message.  However, the driver still seems to have DT set (which is
illegal).  Most devices just reject this as stupid, but the Quantum
seems to try to obey it and hangs the bus.

The simple fix is to reset all PPR options when the offset is set to
zero.

      [PATCH] Allow TCQ depth to be lowered properly · 74a84824
      Brian King authored 
      Ran into a couple small issues with the patch. First,
blk_queue_resize_tags wasn't getting exported, so I sent Jens a patch to
fix this, which he has now sent upstream. Second, the comment above
blk_queue_resize_tags says the queue_lock must be held when calling this
routine. Attached is an updated patch that grabs the lock. Other than
that, it looks good.

      get the kernel to warn about deprecated SCSI ioctls · 59fbf85b
      James Bottomley authored 
      The non unique SCSI ioctls:

SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND
SCSI_IOCTL_TEST_UNIT_READY
SCSI_IOCTL_BENCHMARK_COMMAND
SCSI_IOCTL_SYNC
SCSI_IOCTL_START_UNIT
SCSI_IOCTL_STOP_UNIT

Have been deprecated for a while now.  We should make the kernel
complain when a program actually uses one of them, so users have had
adequate warning before they are removed.

      [PATCH] reorder call in scsi_remove_host · 44d90463
      Mike Anderson authored 
      This patch against scsi-misc-2.6 reorders a call to scsi_forget_host in
the scsi_remove_host function. This removes the error message
"Synchronizing SCSI cache..." on rmmod of a scsi host driver module as
shown in example output 1 and 2 below.

I had previous created a much more complicated patch to work around this
problem. In response Christoph mention a simpler solution (pointer to
thread below) which is this patch.
