Obsolete; either use 'max_lun' if the host supports only a
limited number of LUNs or BLIST_NOLUN if the target has
problems addressing more than one LUN.

After getting warnings in an allyesconfig build[1] from this
driver, I decided to remind myself just how old it was, and
whether it warranted fixing. In the Kconfig help text, I found:
"This driver will eventually be phased out entirely"
Going back to the history archive, I see the line was added[2]
in Feb 2002, when we moved from v2.4.2.1 ---> v2.4.2.2
So, with over a decade of notification, and multiple major releases
since then, I think we can justify removing this. Currently we have
people wasting time building it during routine testing, and then
wasting more time re-researching the known reported warnings, only to
find that nobody really is willing to integrate the fixes[3] for it.
A quick search didn't seem to indicate any active user base for it.
If someone happens to have a quirky _old_ card that the eleven year
old "new" driver doesn't work with, then it is entirely reasonable
that they stick with a kernel version that predates this removal.

The device limit of 128 tape drives was established in 2003 as a
significant increase from the 8 tape drives allowed previously.
We're seeing customer sites that between a large number of drives
and multipath are discovering more than 128 devices and running
into problems.
Now that we're not stuck having to store a pointer in array
and aren't limited by kmalloc failing on higher order allocs we can
lift the limit to fill the entire minor range based on the number
of modes.
Based on the current code, that's 2^17 devices.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux
Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
"It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited
to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.
So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
grep'ping over it, and so on."
Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory*
there may be users out there.
But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.
So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61ad3: "drivers/net:
delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").
* 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.
scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code
serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support.
arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA
|
|
The support for CONFIG_MCA is being removed, since the 20
year old hardware simply isn't capable of meeting today's
software demands on CPU and memory resources.
This commit removes the MCA specific SCSI drivers, and the
MCA specific portions of code in dual role ISA/MCA drivers.
Also, the MCA specific SCSI documentation is removed.

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"This is primarily another round of driver updates (lpfc, bfa, fcoe,
ipr) plus a new ufshcd driver. There shouldn't be anything
controversial in here (The final deletion of scsi proc_ops which
caused some build breakage has been held over until the next merge
window to give us more time to stabilise it).
I'm afraid, with me moving continents at exactly the wrong time,
anything submitted after the merge window opened has been held over to
the next merge window."

Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and
is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are
replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the
context.
There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4
kernels that are being removed.

The st tape driver recently added the MTWEOFI ioctl, which writes
a tape filemark (EOF), like the MTWEOF ioctl, except that MTWEOFI
returns immediately. This makes certain applications, like backup
software, run much more quickly on buffered tape drives.
Since legacy applications do not know about this new MTWEOFI ioctl,
this patch adds a new ioctl option that tells the st driver to return
immediately when writing an EOF (i.e. a filemark). This new flag
is much like the existing flag that tells the st driver to perform
writes (and certain other IOs) immediately, but this new flag only
applies to writing EOFs.
This new feature is controlled via the MTSETDRVBUFFER ioctl, using
the newly-defined MT_ST_NOWAIT_EOF flag.
Use of this new feature is displayed via the sysfs tape "options"
attribute.
The st documentation was updated to mention this new flag, as well
as the problems that can occur from using it.

This patch adds support for Universal Flash Storage(UFS)
host controllers. The UFS host controller driver
includes host controller initialization method.
The Initialization process involves following steps:
- Initiate UFS Host Controller initialization process by writing
to Host controller enable register
- Configure UFS Host controller registers with host memory space
datastructure offsets.
- Unipro link startup procedure
- Check for connected device
- Configure UFS host controller to process requests
- Enable required interrupts
- Configure interrupt aggregation

Arrange for the deallocation of a struct domain_device object when it no
longer has:
1/ any children
2/ references by any scsi_targets
3/ references by a lldd
The comment about domain_device lifetime in
Documentation/scsi/libsas.txt is stale as it appears mainline never had
a version of a struct domain_device that was registered as a kobject.
We now manage domain_device reference counts on behalf of external
agents.

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

they were part of.
