drivers/scsi/qlogicfas.c:190: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

Here comes the 2nd one. I wanted to get Christoph's patches now in, but
already the first his patch comes on the top of this one: remove internal
command queuing in the driver. And, in fact, it fixes some bugs in it. So,
they should go in together. Here's the original comment from Christoph's
email of 1 Feb 2004:

<start quote>

Patch looks mostly good for me.  But there's some fishyness in queuecommand,
mostly from before you patch:

 - many failure cases return one with the new EH code although we wouldn't
   want to requeue the midlayer in that case.  I removed the ifdef and added
   a failed goto to handle them.
 - we need to set cmd->result onlyh if we have an error instead of always
   an overriding it - else it will leak to the midlayer in the return 1
   case.
 - the check for ids out of range are superflous (this was one of the errors
   above, I decided to remove it instead of fixing it).
 - you don't do DC390_UNLOCK_ACB when failing.  While it's a noop I think
   it's bad to have locking macros in place and don't balance them.  You
   should probably remove it completly in one of the next patches.
 - the pDCB->pWaitingSRB looks a bit strange.  By unifying the the codepathes
   it becomes much more readable.

 - needs linux/delay.h for udelay
 - C doesn't allow taking addresses of register variables and gcc even
   complains these days

Ok, here comes the first one. I chose this one because it fixes an actual
bug in the driver. This bug was (partially) introduced by myself when
porting to 2.6. Partly the reason was that I disliked using
function-like macros as lvalues:

sg_dma_address(x) = ...
sg_dma_len(x) = ...

[OT] wouldn't it be better to introduce some macros like
set_sg_dma_{address|len}(x, y)?

A part of the original patch has already been merged (s/UINT/ULONG/), so,
the actual version is re-diffed against 2.6.6-bk6 and re-tested (on a
plain Pentium).

Also updates the driver-version, printed on startup.

This happened when sending out the inquiry command and the LLDD was in
recovery for the specific LUN and returned SCSI_MLQUEUE_DEVICE_BUSY.
Problem is that max_device_blocked gets set _after_ the inquiry command
finished. In this specific case max_device_blocked was 0 and thus the
device was never blocked resulting in the observed stack overflow.
I moved the initializazion of max_device_blocked from scsi_add_lun to
sdev_alloc_sdev and the problem is gone.

- Support for drives > 2 TB implemented

- Some important bug fixes made

A little more testing of st's SG_IO ioctl turned up a
small problem.

This is the corresponding patch that was applied to the
sd driver when it received the block layer SG_IO ioctl.

For least surprise of lk 2.4 utilities that use the
SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN and SCSI_IOCTL_GET_BUS_NUMBER
ioctls (e.g. sg_map) it is better to return the correct
values rather than 0.

Following a prior patch, we made cancel the sole
route into deleted, but forgot to update the 
state model checks to reflect this.

offline and created also go to cancel

From: 	Brian King <brking@us.ibm.com>

This is a fairly minimal fix for aacraid. It removes the happy cast
pointers to u32 garbage in the 2.6 code and replaces it with the working
2.4 equivalents. I've not backported any of the other changes from 2.4 to
2.6 yet, and some things have gone which are good to be gone (eg the
proc/scsi horror). There is a certain amount of white space noise caused
by realigning with the 2.4 code so I could see what was going on.

Tested on a dual opteron

In MAINTAINERS and in individual low-level drivers.

* bug fix: make sure 'nsect' member of struct ata_queued_cmd is
initialized each time a cmd is re-used.  Only affects PIO data xfers,
which nobody uses.
* slightly change the way a device's flags are printed out.  currently
the only flag is 'lba48', but soon 'wcache' will appear also.
* add WB-cache-related constants and macros to linux/ata.h

This fixes a corruption problem with overlapping copyarea()'s
in the radeon driver.

At the moment, on PPC64, the instruction we use for wmb() doesn't
order cacheable stores vs. non-cacheable stores.  (It does order
cacheable vs. cacheable and non-cacheable vs. non-cacheable.)  This
causes problems in the sort of driver code that writes stuff into
memory, does a wmb(), then a writel to the device to start a DMA
operation to read the stuff it has just written to memory.

This patch solves the problem by adding a sync instruction before the
store in the write* and out* macros.  The sync is a full barrier that
orders all loads and stores, cacheable or not.  The patch also moves
the eieio instruction that we had after the store to before the load
in the read* and in* macros.  With the sync before the store, we don't
need an eieio as well in a sequence of stores, but we still need an
eieio between a store and a load.

I think it is better to do this than to turn wmb() into a full memory
barrier (a sync instruction) because the full barrier is slow and
isn't needed with the sync in the write*/out* macros.  This way,
write*/out* are fully ordered with respect to preceding loads and
stores, which is what driver writers expect, and we avoid penalizing
users of wmb() who are only doing cacheable stores.

	ntfs_fill_super() and ntfs_read_inode_mount() cleaned up.  Removed
the kludges around the first iget() on NTFS.  Instead of playing with
(re)setting ->s_op we have the MFT_FILE inode set up by explicit new_inode()/
set ->i_ino/insert_inode_hash()/call ntfs_read_inode_mount() directly.
That kills the need of second super_operations and it allows to return
error from ntfs_read_inode_mount() without resorting to ugly "poisoning"
tricks.

Ok, well there aren't too many folks using an QLA2100 in a fabric
topology, if there were, they wouldn't have gotten very far in the
driver load sequence.  I've been able to scrape-up a QLA2100, 1Gig
switch, and an JBOD.  Upon loading the 8.00.00b12k driver, the
firmware successfully logs into the switch, the driver receives a
LOOP_UP event, but, the kernel panics due to NULL pointer dereference
while trying to perform an RFT_ID  -- the attached patch against
current scsi-misc-2.6 fixes that problem.

The patch to close all the open/close/hotplug races in sr left the
module refcounting broken so that the ULD housing the CD device now
can't be removed until the device itself is removed.

This patch (structurally identical to the one for sd.c to perform the
same function) fixes the module refcounting.

This fixes a situation where the handler can exit too early.

one of the macros for get_thread_area extracts the wrong bit.  The

From: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de>

Set up SMT for the domain scheduler on x86-64.  This way the scheduling
works better on HyperThreading aware systems; in particular it will use
both physical CPUs before sharing two virtual CPUs on the same package. 
This improves performance considerably in some cases.

Based on the i386 code and a previous patch from Suresh B. Siddha.
