More changes to eventually support loadable modules. Mainly
we want to use linked lists instead of arrays because it is easier
to dynamically add and remove things this way.
Quite a bit more work is needed before loadable modules are
possible (and usable) with scsi, but this is most of the grunge
work.
* Linux 1.1.28 released.
* scsi.c, scsi.h (allocate_device, request_queueable): Change
argument from index into scsi_devices to a pointer to the
Scsi_Device struct.
* Throughout: Change all calls to allocate_device,
request_queueable to use new calling sequence.
* Throughout: Use SCpnt->device instead of
scsi_devices[SCpnt->index]. Ugh - the pointer was there all along
- much cleaner this way.
* scsi.c (scsi_init_malloc, scsi_free_malloc): New functions -
allow us to pretend that we have a working malloc when we
initialize. Use this instead of passing memory_start, memory_end
around all over the place.
* scsi.h, st.c, sr.c, sd.c, sg.c: Change *_init1 functions to use
scsi_init_malloc, remove all arguments, no return value.
* scsi.h: Remove index field from Scsi_Device and Scsi_Cmnd
structs.
* scsi.c (scsi_dev_init): Set up for scsi_init_malloc.
(scan_scsis): Get SDpnt from scsi_init_malloc, and refresh
when we discover a device. Free pointer before returning.
Change scsi_devices into a linked list.
* scsi.c (scan_scsis): Change to only scan one host.
(scsi_dev_init): Loop over all detected hosts, and scan them.
* hosts.c (scsi_init_free): Change so that number of extra bytes
is stored in struct, and we do not have to pass it each time.
* hosts.h: Change Scsi_Host_Template struct to include "next" and
"release" functions. Initialize to NULL in all low level
adapters.
* hosts.c: Rename scsi_hosts to builtin_scsi_hosts, create linked
list scsi_hosts, linked together with the new "next" field.
Wed Jul 6 05:45:02 1994 Eric Youngdale (eric@esp22)
* Linux 1.1.25 released.
* aha152x.c: Changes from Juergen - cleanups and updates.
* sd.c, sr.c: Use new check_media_change and revalidate
file_operations fields.
* st.c, st.h: Add changes from Kai Makisara, dated Jun 22.
* hosts.h: Change SG_ALL back to 0xff. Apparently soft error
in /dev/brain resulted in having this bumped up.
Change first parameter in bios_param function to be Disk * instead
of index into rscsi_disks.
* sd_ioctl.c: Pass pointer to rscsi_disks element instead of index
to array.
* sd.h: Add struct name "scsi_disk" to typedef for Scsi_Disk.
* scsi.c: Remove redundant Maxtor XT8760S from blacklist.
In scsi_reset, add printk when DEBUG defined.
* All low level drivers: Modify definitions of bios_param in
appropriate way.
Thu Jun 16 10:31:59 1994 Eric Youngdale (eric@esp22)
* Linux 1.1.20 released.
* scsi_ioctl.c: Only pass down the actual number of characters
required to scsi_do_cmd, not the one rounded up to a even number
of sectors.
* ultrastor.c: Changes from Caleb Epstein for 24f cards. Support
larger SG lists.
* ultrastor.c: Changes from me - use scsi_register to register
host. Add some consistency checking,
Wed Jun 1 21:12:13 1994 Eric Youngdale (eric@esp22)
* Linux 1.1.19 released.
* scsi.h: Add new return code for reset() function:
SCSI_RESET_PUNT.
* scsi.c: Make SCSI_RESET_PUNT the same as SCSI_RESET_WAKEUP for
now.
* aha1542.c: If the command responsible for the reset is not
pending, return SCSI_RESET_PUNT.
* aha1740.c, buslogic.c, wd7000.c, ultrastor.c: Return
SCSI_RESET_PUNT instead of SCSI_RESET_SNOOZE.
Tue May 31 19:36:01 1994 Eric Youngdale (eric@esp22)
* buslogic.c: Do not print out message about "must be Adaptec"
if we have detected a buslogic card. Print out a warning message
if we are configuring for >16Mb, since the 445S at board level
D or earlier does not work right. The "D" level board can be made
to work by flipping an undocumented switch, but this is too subtle.
Changes based upon patches in Yggdrasil distribution.
* sg.c, sg.h: Return sense data to user.
* aha1542.c, aha1740.c, buslogic.c: Do not panic if
sense buffer is wrong size.
* hosts.c: Test for ultrastor card before any of the others.
* scsi.c: Allow boot-time option for max_scsi_luns=? so that
buggy firmware has an easy work-around.
Sun May 15 20:24:34 1994 Eric Youngdale (eric@esp22)
* Linux 1.1.15 released.
Post-codefreeze thaw...
* buslogic.[c,h]: New driver from David Gentzel.
* hosts.h: Add use_clustering field to explicitly say whether
clustering should be used for devices attached to this host
adapter. The buslogic board apparently supports large SG lists,
but it is apparently faster if sd.c condenses this into a smaller
list.
* sd.c: Use this field instead of heuristic.
* All host adapter include files: Add appropriate initializer for
use_clustering field.
* scsi.h: Add #defines for return codes for the abort and reset
functions. There are now a specific set of return codes to fully
specify all of the possible things that the low-level adapter
could do.
* scsi.c: Act based upon return codes from abort/reset functions.
* All host adapter abort/reset functions: Return new return code.
* Add code in scsi.c to help debug timeouts. Use #define
DEBUG_TIMEOUT to enable this.
* scsi.c: If the host->irq field is set, use
disable_irq/enable_irq before calling queuecommand if we
are not already in an interrupt. Reduce races, and we
can be sloppier about cli/sti in the interrupt routines now
(reduce interrupt latency).
* constants.c: Fix some things to eliminate warnings. Add some
sense descriptions that were omitted before.
* aha1542.c: Watch for SCRD from host adapter - if we see it, set
a flag. Currently we only print out the number of pending
commands that might need to be restarted.
* aha1542.c (aha1542_abort): Look for lost interrupts, OGMB still
full, and attempt to recover. Otherwise give up.
* aha1542.c (aha1542_reset): Try BUS DEVICE RESET, and then pass
DID_RESET back up to the upper level code for all commands running
on this target (even on different LUNs).
Sat May 7 14:54:01 1994
* Linux 1.1.12 released.
* st.c, st.h: New version from Kai. Supports boot time
specification of number of buffers.
* wd7000.[c,h]: Updated driver from John Boyd. Now supports
more than one wd7000 board in machine at one time, among other things.
Wed Apr 20 22:20:35 1994
* Linux 1.1.8 released.
* sd.c: Add a few type casts where scsi_malloc is called.
Wed Apr 13 12:53:29 1994
* Linux 1.1.4 released.
* scsi.c: Clean up a few printks (use %p to print pointers).
Wed Apr 13 11:33:02 1994
* Linux 1.1.3 released.
* fdomain.c: Update to version 5.16 (Handle different FIFO sizes
better).
Fri Apr 8 08:57:19 1994
* Linux 1.1.2 released.
* Throughout: SCSI portion of cluster diffs added.
Tue Apr 5 07:41:50 1994
* Linux 1.1 development tree initiated.
* The linux 1.0 development tree is now effectively frozen except
for obvious bugfixes.

after a low-level reset, start the command again. Sort blacklist,
and add Maxtor MXT-1240S, XT-4170S, NEC CDROM 84, Seagate ST157N.
* scsi.h: Add constants for tagged queueing.
* Throughout: Use constants from major.h instead of hardcoded
numbers for major numbers.
* scsi_ioctl.c: Fix bug in buffer length in ioctl_command. Use
verify_area in GET_IDLUN ioctl. Add new ioctls for
TAGGED_QUEUE_ENABLE, DISABLE. Only allow IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND by
superuser.
* sd.c: Only pay attention to UNIT_ATTENTION for removable disks.
Fix bug where sometimes portions of blocks would get lost
resulting in processes hanging. Add messages when we spin up a
disk, and fix a bug in the timing. Increase read-ahead for disks
that are on a scatter-gather capable host adapter.
* seagate.c: Fix so that some parameters can be set from the lilo
prompt. Supply jumpstart flag if we are resetting and need the
command restarted. Fix so that we return 1 if we detect a card
so that multiple card detection works correctly. Add yet another
signature for FD cards (950). Add another signature for ST0x.

option for no-multi lun scan. Add semaphore for possible problems
with handshaking, assume device is faulty until we know it not to be
the case. Add DEBUG_INIT symbol to dump info as we scan for devices.
Zero sense buffer so we can tell if we need to request it. When
examining sense information, request sense if buffer is all zero.
If RESET, request sense information to see what to do next.

* scsi_ioctl.c (kernel_scsi_ioctl): New function -for making ioctl
calls from kernel space.

display info. Use scsi_malloc buffer for READ_CAPACITY, since
we cannot guarantee that a stack based buffer is < 16Mb.
* sd_ioctl.c: Add BLKFLSBUF ioctl.
* seagate.c: Add new compile time options for ARBITRATE,
SLOW_HANDSHAKE, and SLOW_RATE. Update assembly loops for transferring
data. Use kernel_scsi_ioctl to request mode page with geometry.
* sr.c: Use functions in constants.c to display messages.
* st.c: Support for variable block size.
* ultrastor.c: Do not use cache for tape drives. Set
unchecked_isa_dma flag, even though this may not be needed (gets set
later).

restored if we retry the command. Set aside dma buffers assuming each
block is 1 page, not 1Kb minix block.
* scsi_ioctl.c: Add a few type casts. Other minor changes.
* sd.c: Correctly free all scsi_malloc'd memory if we run out of
dma_pool. Store blocksize information for each partition.

* st.c: Add NULL for fsync in dispatch table.
* wd7000.c: Allow another condition for power on that are normal
and do not require a panic.

to lock door for devices that do not have lockable semaphore set.
* sd.c: Fix race condition for multiple disks. Use INIT_SCSI_REQUEST
instead of INIT_REQUEST. Allow sector sizes of 1024 and 256. For

* seagate.c: Add a few new signatures for FD cards. Another patch
with SCint to fix race condition. Use recursion_depth to keep track
of how many times we have been recursively called, and do not start
another command unless we are on the outer level. Fixes bug
with Syquest cartridge drives (used to crash kernel), because
they do not disconnect with large data transfers.

* st.c: Changes from Kai.
Wed Dec 30 20:03:47 1992
* 0.99pl2 released.
* scsi.c: Blacklist back in. Remove Newbury drive as other bugfix
eliminates need for it here.
* sd.c: Return ENODEV instead of EACCES if no such device available.
(sd_init) Init blkdev_fops earlier so that sd_open is available sooner.
* sr.c: Same as above for sd.c.
* st.c: Return ENODEV instead of ENXIO if no device. Init chrdev_fops
sooner, so that it is always there even if no tapes.

FD. Modify signatures list to indicate controller type, and init
controller_type once we find a match.
