2005-09-22[PATCH] ub: Comment out unconditional stall clearPete Zaitcev
This code appears to be more trouble than it's worth, considering that no normal users reload drivers. So, we comment it for now.

2005-09-13[PATCH] cciss: fix for DMA brokenessMike Miller
The CCISS driver seems to loose track of DMA mappings created by it's fill_cmd() routine. Neither callers of this routine are extracting the DMA address created in order to do the unmap. Instead, they simply try to unmap 0x0. It's easy to see this problem on an x86_64 system when using the "swiotlb=force" boot option. In this case, the driver is leaking resources of the swiotlb and not causing a sync of the bounce buffer.

2005-09-09[SCSI] permit READ DEFECT DATA in block/scsi_ioctlDouglas Gilbert
The soon to be released smartmontools 5.34 uses the READ DEFECT DATA command on SCSI disks. A disk that has defect list entries (or worse, an increasing number of them) is at risk. Currently the first invocation of smartctl causes this: scsi: unknown opcode 0x37 message to appear the console and in the log. The READ DEFECT DATA SCSI command does not change the state of a disk. Its opcode (0x37) is valid for SBC devices (e.g. disks) and SMC-2 devices (media changers) where it is called INITIALIZE STATUS ELEMENT WITH RANGE and again doesn't change the external state of the device.

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernelAlan Stern
29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA: This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't been used for anything other than printing warning messages." An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so quickly." Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial" subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked. "They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag is removed." Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: ub 4: Zaitcev's quasi-S/GPete Zaitcev
Back out Axboe-style quasi-S/G and replace it with one command and repeated URBs. This is similar to what usb-storage does, only instead of a few URBs allocated together, one URB is reused. Jens's idea was very nice, but it collapsed when I had to support packet commads for CD burning. I cannot issue two or more packet commands where application expected only one. However, burning does not work completely yet. The cdrecord starts, recognizes the device, then aborts without writing a TOC.

2005-09-08[PATCH] USB: ub 1/3: Axboe's quasi-S/GPete Zaitcev
This the quasi-S/G patch for ub as suggested by Jens Axboe at OLS and implemented that night before 4 a.m. Surprisingly, it worked right away... Alas, I had to skip some OLS partying, but it was for the good cause. Now the speed of ub is quite acceptable even on partitions with small block size. The ub does not really support S/G. Instead, it just tells the block layer that it does. Then, most of the time, the block layer merges requests and passes single-segmnent requests down to ub; everything works as before. Very rarely ub gets an unmerged S/G request. In such case, it issues several commands to the device. I added a small array of counters to monitor the merging (sg_stat). This may be dropped later.

2005-09-07[PATCH] Kconfig fix (BLK_DEV_FD dependencies)viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk
Sanitized and fixed floppy dependencies: split the messy dependencies for BLK_DEV_FD by introducing a new symbol (ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC), making BLK_DEV_FD depend on that one and taking declarations of ARCH_MAY_HAVE_PC_FDC to arch/*/Kconfig. While we are at it, fixed several obvious cases when BLK_DEV_FD should have been excluded (architectures lacking asm/floppy.h are *not* going to have floppy.c compile, let alone work).

2005-09-07[PATCH] block: CFQ refcounting fixBrian King
I ran across a memory leak related to the cfq scheduler. The cfq init function increments the refcnt of the associated request_queue. This refcount gets decremented in cfq's exit function. Since blk_cleanup_queue only calls the elevator exit function when its refcnt goes to zero, the request_q never gets cleaned up. It didn't look like other io schedulers were incrementing this refcnt, so I removed the refcnt increment and it fixed the memory leak for me. To reproduce the problem, simply use cfq and use the scsi_host scan sysfs attribute to scan "- - -" repeatedly on a scsi host and watch the memory vanish.
