[PATCH] dell_rbu: enhancements and fixes

2005-09-17T18:50:02+00:00

BUG fixes: The driver used to allocate memory with spinlock held which has been fixed in this patch. The driver was printing the entire buffer when it received a invalid entry in image_type. The fix is to only print a warning message and not the buffer. Usability enhancements: It is possible that due to user error the /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu entries might be missing, this can happen if the user does the following echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/dell_rbu/loading This will make the entries in /sys/class/firmware/ to disappear and the only way get them back was bby unloading and loading the driver. This patch makes the user recreate these entries by echoing init in to image_type. This patch has been tested with Libsmbios and Dell OpenManage.

[PATCH] cciss: new controller pci/subsystem ids

2005-09-13T15:22:29+00:00

This patch adds new PCI and subsystem ID's that finally made the spec. It also include a name change for one controller. I know there's a lot of duplicat names but the fw folks wanted this for the different implementations. Even though the same ASIC is used it may be embedded on some platforms, standup card in others, and a mezzanine in other servers.
