ok, attached patch does it that way and also fixes two other problems I
noticed: 

1. unloading the module with two controllers present didn't work,
2. there was a race in is_complete.

   When detecting a locked sg device (O_EXCL) return
   -EBUSY (rather than 0) from sg_open()

The attached patch fixes the compile errors from the DMA and scsi_cmnd
next usage. It has been tested on bugzilla here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213

I was not sure about the variable casting in the driver, but this is how
the qlogicisp driver did it. The driver also still needs to be converted
to the new error handling.

Ok here's a new patch.  Updates:

  - check pci_set_dma_mask return value
  - fix leak in the HBA remove path
  - fix leak in probe_one failure case
  - remove unused list of hosts
  - avoid scsi.h usage all over driver
  - mention the updates in the README file

Hi Doug,

you've been the last who touched inia100.c, so I may assume you
actually have the hardware?  I've updated the driver to the new
pci probing and scsi host registration code and it would be cool
if someone could test it so we could merge it into early 2.6.

Need to remove access_count from new seq_file code

From: 	Douglas Gilbert <dougg@torque.net>

This is an updated patch for the sg driver that takes into
account Patrick LaVarre's fix for negative reserved buffer
sizes found in lk 2.6.0-test9.

So it has the same changelog to the patch I sent on 2003/10/11:
     - add "struct cdev" [char_devs] objects to increase
       maximum number of sg devices from 256 to 8192
     - use seq_file interface for /proc/scsi/sg/*
       pseudo files
     - sysfs symlinks between the sysfs scsi device and the
       corresponding sg cdev node (and vice versa)

An edited "tree" output showing an example of these symlinks
was included in my previous post.

As noted in another thread, st (and osst) may need "cdevs"
and sysfs symlinks so SCSI tape devices have sysfs visibility
in lk 2.6 .

Also if both st and sg had sysfs visibility then Patrick
Mansfield's scsi_id program could be made to work for tape
drives (enclosures, tape robots, etc) by following these
symlinks.

Hi.

The patch below (against 2.6.0-test8) makes it possible to share the
interrupt when the aha1740 is configured for a level triggered interrupt.
It appears to work fine on my i486 EISA box with an AHA-1742A and an NE3200
Ethernet board sharing an irq. Comments, please.

2.1.18f:
 - Rewrite the Kconfig help
 - Always honour CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_IOMAPPED.  Alpha people used to
   have it forced off, Sparc people used to have it forced on.  (Thanks
   to Dann Frazier for testing on Alpha)
 - Simplify the NVRAM handling a bit.
 - SYM_OPT_NO_BUS_MEMORY_MAPPING is never set.
 - Remove PCI DMA abstraction.  (Christoph Hellwig)
 - Redo SCSI midlayer registration and unregistration to allow module
   load/unload to work.  Now copes with scsi_add_host() failing.  (Thanks
   to Brian King for testing)
 - Replace bcmp() with memcmp().
 - Change the MAINTAINER entry to myself.

Ninjas don't seem to like 64bit. The driver spew out so many
integer/pointer mismatch warnings that I gave up.

Mark it as !64BIT

Matthew Wilcox pointed out that it was already marked ISA only.
I actually ment to change another driver, but looking at the source of one
it seems to be 64bit unclean too.

As there are 64bit architectures that have ISA slots (like old Alphas)
I think this patch is still appropiate.

As Matthew Wilcox pointed out - the ISA aha152x driver was already marked
as ISA only, so couldn't have been enabled on x86-64.

The warning I saw was actually for the PCMCIA aha152x driver.

Mark that one as !64BIT

During a make allyesconfig on x86-64 I noticed several integer/pointer
mismatch warnings in the bus logic driver.

Consolidate and nicely log the scsi_device and scsi command before sending
and after completing a command to an adapter driver.

This small patch adds a "release" method to the "pseudo_0"
device to stop the noise when the scsi_debug module is
loaded.

Another annoyance that I was unable to get to the bottom
of was during "rmmod scsi_debug" **:
  Synchronizing SCSI cache for disk sda: <4>FAILED
    status = 0, message = 00, host = 1, driver = 00
That is a DID_NO_CONNECT error. So the LLD host is
being shut down before the sd driver gets a chance to
send through a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command. If the user
instigates a rmmod (as distinct from the hardware
saying the host/device is gone), shouldn't a window
be left open for such a flushing type command. This
problem seems to have appeared recently.


** "echo -1 > add_host" in scsi_debug's driver directory
   (i.e. remove a host) also causes the same error so the
   problem is not perculiar to rmmod.

This fixes a bug in the qla1280 driver where it would leave a pointer to
an on the stack completion event in a command structure if
qla1280_mailbox_command fails.  The result is that the interrupt handler
later tries to complete() garbage on the stack.  The mailbox command can
fail if a device on the bus decides to lock up etc.

I just found Yet Another Bug in scsi_ioctl - CDROM_SEND_PACKET puts a
kernel pointer in hdr->cmdp, where sg_io() expects to find user address.
This worked up until recently because of the memcpy bug, but now it
doesn't because we do the proper copy_from_user(). 

This fix undoes the user copy code from sg_io, and instead makes the
SG_IO ioctl copy it locally.  This makes SG_IO and CDROM_SEND_PACKET
agree on the calling convention, and everybody is happy. 

I've tested that both

   cdrecord -dev=/dev/hdc -inq

and

   cdrecord -dev=ATAPI:/dev/hdc -inq

works now.  The former will use SG_IO, the latter CDROM_SEND_PACKET (and
incidentally would work in both 2.4 and 2.6, if it wasn't for
CDROM_SEND_PACKET sucking badly in 2.4).

From Jon Burgess:

  There is a problems with blank DVD media using the ide-cd driver.

  When we attempt to read the blank disk, the drive responds to the read
  request by returning a "blank media" error.  The kernel doesn't have
  any special case handling for this sense value and retries the request
  a couple of times, then gives up and does a bus reset and disables DMA
  to the device.

  Which obviously doesn't help the situation.

  The sense key value of 8 isn't listed in ide-cd.h, but it is listed in
  scsi.h as a "BLANK_CHECK" error.

  This trivial patch treats this error condition as a reason to abort
  the request.  This behaviour is the same as what we do with a blank CD-R.

  It looks like the same fix might be desired for 2.4 as well, although
  is perhaps not so important since scsi-ide is normally used instead.

 1/ make sure raid5 doesn't try to handle multiple overlaping
    requests at the same time as this would confuse things badly.
    Currently it justs BUGs if this is attempted.
 2/ Fix a possible data-loss-on-write problem.  If two or
    more bio's that write to the same page are processed at the
    same time, only the first was actually commited to storage.
 3/ Fix a use-after-free bug.  raid5 keeps the bio's it is given
    in linked lists when more than one bio touch a single page.
    In some cases the tail of this list can be freed, and
    the current test for 'are we at the end' isn't reliable.
    This patch strengths the test to make it reliable.

Petr Vandrovec noticed a problem where the thread group leader
would not be properly reaped if the parent of the thread group
was ignoring SIGCHLD, and the thread group leader had exited
before the last sub-thread.

Fixed by Ingo Molnar.

This time we have a SMP memory ordering issue in prepare_to_wait(),
where we really need to make sure that subsequent tests for the
event we are waiting for can not migrate up to before the wait
queue has been set up.

In 2.5.x, the BKL was pushed from vfs_readdir() into the filesystem
specific functions.  But only the unlock_kernel() made it into the HPFS
code, lock_kernel() got lost on the way.  This rendered the filesystem
unusable.

This adds the missing lock_kernel().  It's been tested by Timo Maier who
also reported the problem earlier today.

The previous scsi_ioctl.c patch didn't cleanup the buffer/bio in the
error case. 

Fix it by copying the command data earlier.

corruption on SMP because of another CPU still accessing a waitqueue
even after it was de-allocated.

Use a careful version of the list emptiness check to make sure we
don't de-allocate the stack frame before the waitqueue is all done.

visor.c defines one empty slot in USB ids table that can be filled in at
runtime using module parameters. file2alias generates catch-all alias for it:

alias usb:v*p*dl*dh*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* visor

patch adds the same sanity check as in depmod to scripts/file2alias.

This patch fixes the bug where running ppp over a ttyUSB device would fail.

This patch was integrated by you in 2.4 six months ago.  Unfortunately
it never got into 2.5.  Without it you can end up with crashes such
as http://bugs.debian.org/218670
