Moore, Eric e6bc863cf2 [SCSI] scsi_transport_sas: mapping the rphy channel equal to the port identifier
We will be mapping the RAID volumes in mptsas to a reserved
channel that
is one larger than the anticapated number of ports on the direct
attached host
adapter.

Christoph Hellwig e02f3f5922 [SCSI] remove target parent limitiation
When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes
crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to
let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given
transport class.

When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices
we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual
raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it.

So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from
scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets
the transport class control the user-initiated scanning.  As this
plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook
goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do
something sensible.

For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to
synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely
unsynchronized which seems wrong.

Salyzyn, Mark 9638d89a75 [SCSI] I2O: move pci_request_regions() just behind pci_enable_device()
The problem in dpt_i2o could be the pci config space accesses it
triggers as it loads, dangerous to do if there is any I/O activity going
on in the other driver (probable if a boot driver I guess).

I approve this patch to dpt_i2o.c, and am applying it to the Adaptec
branch of the driver.

Thanks for the investigation Ryoji.

---

In linux 2.6.15, data transfer does hang when both dpt_i2o
and i2o_block drivers are loaded.
It seems that location of pci_request_regions() are wrong.
I moved it just behind pci_enable_device() like other drivers,
and it becomes fine.

Paul Mackerras d5f079000b [PATCH] powerpc: Recognize /chaos bridge on old pmacs as PCI
The first generation of PCI powermacs had a host bridge called /chaos
which was for all intents and purposes a PCI host bridge, but has a
device_type of "vci" in the device tree (presumably it's not really
PCI at the hardware level or something).

The OF parsing stuff in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_parse.c currently
doesn't recognize it as a PCI bridge, which means that controlfb.c
can't get its device addresses.

This makes prom_parse.c recognize a device_type of "vci" as indicating
a PCI host bridge.  With this, controlfb works again.

that he is the "last man standing".  That CPU then issues the
ibm,suspend-me call.  What is interesting, of course, is that
the CPU running when the rtas syscall is made, may NOT be the
CPU that ultimately executes the ibm,suspend-me rtas call.

David Brownell 9904f22a72 [PATCH] spi: add spi_bitbang driver
This adds a bitbanging spi master, hooking up to board/adapter-specific glue
code which knows how to set and read the signals (gpios etc).

This code kicks in after the glue code creates a platform_device with the
right platform_data.  That data includes I/O loops, which will usually
come from expanding an inline function (provided in the header).  One goal
is that the I/O loops should be easily optimized down to a few GPIO register
accesses, in common cases, for speed and minimized overhead.

This understands all the currently defined protocol tweaking options in the
SPI framework, and might eventually serve as as reference implementation.

  - different word sizes (1..32 bits)
  - differing clock rates
  - SPI modes differing by CPOL (affecting chip select and I/O loops)
  - SPI modes differing by CPHA (affecting I/O loops)
  - delays (usecs) after transfers
  - temporarily deselecting chips in mid-transfer

A lot of hardware could work with this framework, though common types of
controller can't reach peak performance without switching to a driver
structure that supports pipelining of transfers (e.g.  DMA queues) and maybe
controllers (e.g.  IRQ driven).

David Brownell b885244eb2 [PATCH] spi: add spi_driver to SPI framework
This is a refresh of the "Simple SPI Framework" found in 2.6.15-rc3-mm1
which makes the following changes:

  * There's now a "struct spi_driver".  This increase the footprint
    of the core a bit, since it now includes code to do what the driver
    core was previously handling directly.  Documentation and comments
    were updated to match.

  * spi_alloc_master() now does class_device_initialize(), so it can
    at least be refcounted before spi_register_master().  To match,
    spi_register_master() switched over to class_device_add().

  * States explicitly that after transfer errors, spi_devices will be
    deselected.  We want fault recovery procedures to work the same
    for all controller drivers.

  * Minor tweaks:  controller_data no longer points to readonly data;
    prevent some potential cast-from-null bugs with container_of calls;
    clarifies some existing kerneldoc,

And a few small cleanups.

So far only basic testing has been done.  There's a fair amount of hardware
that uses this sensor, and which also runs Linux, which should eventually
be able to use this driver.

One portability note may be of special interest.  It turns out that not all
SPI controllers are happy issuing requests that do things like "write 8 bit
command, read 12 bit response".  Most of them seem happy to handle various
word sizes, so the issue isn't "12 bit response" but rather "different rx
and tx write sizes", despite that being a common MicroWire convention.  So
this version of the driver no longer reads 12 bit native-endian words; it
reads 16-bit big-endian responses, then byteswaps them and shifts the
results to discard the noise.

David Brownell 8ae12a0d85 [PATCH] spi: simple SPI framework
This is the core of a small SPI framework, implementing the model of a
queue of messages which complete asynchronously (with thin synchronous
wrappers on top).

  - It's still less than 2KB of ".text" (ARM).  If there's got to be a
    mid-layer for something so simple, that's the right size budget.  :)

  - The guts use board-specific SPI device tables to build the driver
    model tree.  (Hardware probing is rarely an option.)

  - This version of Kconfig includes no drivers.  At this writing there
    are two known master controller drivers (PXA/SSP, OMAP MicroWire)
    and three protocol drivers (CS8415a, ADS7846, DataFlash) with LKML
    mentions of other drivers in development.

  - No userspace API.  There are several implementations to compare.
    Implement them like any other driver, and bind them with sysfs.

The changes from last version posted to LKML (on 11-Nov-2005) are minor,
and include:

  - One bugfix (removes a FIXME), with the visible effect of making device
    names be "spiB.C" where B is the bus number and C is the chipselect.

  - The "caller provides DMA mappings" mechanism now has kerneldoc, for
    DMA drivers that want to be fancy.

  - Hey, the framework init can be subsys_init.  Even though board init
    logic fires earlier, at arch_init ... since the framework init is
    for driver support, and the board init support uses static init.

  - Various additional spec/doc clarifications based on discussions
    with other folk.  It adds a brief "thank you" at the end, for folk
    who've helped nudge this framework into existence.

As I've said before, I think that "protocol tweaking" is the main support
that this driver framework will need to evolve.

From: Mark Underwood <basicmark@yahoo.com>

  Update the SPI framework to remove a potential priority inversion case by
  reverting to kmalloc if the pre-allocated DMA-safe buffer isn't available.

Marcelo Tosatti 8f069b1a90 [PATCH] powerpc/8xx: Use 8MB D-TLB's for kernel static mapping faults
The following implements support for instantiation of 8MB D-TLB
entries for the kernel direct virtual mapping on 8xx, thus reducing TLB
space consumed for the kernel.

Test used: writing 40MB from /dev/zero to file in ext2fs over 
RAMDISK.

$ time dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=4k count=10000 

VANILLA			8MB kernel data pages

real    0m11.485s	real    0m11.267s
user    0m0.218s        user    0m0.250s
sys     0m8.939s	sys     0m9.108s

user    0m0.228s    	user    0m0.222s
sys     0m9.497s	sys     0m9.127s

real    0m11.633s	real	0m11.286s
user    0m0.214s	user    0m0.196s
sys     0m9.529s	sys     0m9.134s

and averages for both:

real	11.54750	real 11.12450

Which is a 3.6% improvement in execution time. More improvement is
expected for loads with larger kernel data footprint (real workloads).
