From 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 15:20:36 -0700 Subject: Linux-2.6.12-rc2 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.

This is required since the + * dma mask settings will affect the memory + * pci_alloc_consistent() will return. + * - Call pci_set_consistent_dma_mask() to allow for 64 bit + * consistent allocations, required on some platforms such + * as the SN2. + * - Wait 20 usecs (not sure how long is really necessary, + * but this seems safe) after setting CSR_ISP_SOFT_RESET in + * the ctrl_status register as the card doesn't respond to + * PCI reads while in reset state. This causes a machine + * check on some architectures. + * - Flush PCI writes before calling udelay() to ensure the + * write is not sitting idle in-flight for a while before + * hitting the hardware. + * - Include linux/vmalloc.h in qla_os.c since it uses + * vmalloc(). + * - Use auto-negotiate link speed when using default + * parameters rather than NVRAM settings. Disable NVRAM + * reading on SN2 since it's not possible to execute the + * HBA's BIOS on an SN2. I suggest doing something similar + * for all architectures that do not provide x86 BIOS + * emulation. + * - Clean-up slab-cache allocations: + * - locking. + * - mempool allocations in case of low-memory situations. + * - Fallback to GA_NXT scan if GID_PT call returns more than + * MAX_FIBRE_DEVICES. + * - Preserve iterating port ID across GA_NXT calls in + * qla2x00_find_all_fabric_devs(). + * - Pre-calculate ASCII firmware dump length as to not incur the + * cost-to-calculate at each invocation of a read(). + * + * Rev 8.00.00b6 November 4, 2003 AV + * - Add new 2300 TPX firmware (3.02.18). + * + * Rev 8.00.00b6-pre25 October 20, 2003 RA/AV + * - Resync with Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test9. + * - Rework firmware dump process: + * - Use binary attribute within sysfs tree. + * - Add user-space tool (gdump.sh) to retrieve formatted + * buffer. + * - Add ISP2100 support. + * - Use a slab cache for SRB allocations to reduce memory + * pressure. + * - Initial conversion of driver logging methods to a new + * qla_printk() function which uses dev_printk (Daniel + * Stekloff, IBM). + * - Further reduce stack usage in qla2x00_configure_local_loop() + * and qla2x00_find_all_fabric_devs(). + * - Separate port state used for routing of I/O's from port + * mgmt-login retry etc. + * + * Rev 8.00.00b6-pre19 October 13, 2003 AV + * - Resync with Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test7-bk5. + * - Add intelligent RSCN event handling: + * - reduce scan time during 'port' RSCN events by only + * querying specified port ids. + * - Available on ISP23xx cards only. + * - Increase maximum number of recognizable targets from 256 + * to 512. + * - Backend changes were previously added to support TPX + * (2K logins) firmware. Mid-layer can now scan for targets + * (H, B, T, L) where 512 < T >= 0. + * - Remove IP support from driver. + * - Switch firmware types from IP->TP for ISP22xx and + * IPX->TPX for ISP23xx cards. + * -
