i2o: block IO errors on i2o disk

2007-04-06T10:43:16Z

I2O subsystem has been broken in mainstream several months ago (after 2.6.18). Commit 4aff5e2333c9a1609662f2091f55c3f6fffdad36 from Jens Axboe split struct request ->flags into two parts: cmd_type and cmd_flags. In i2o layer this patch has replaced flag REQ_SPECIAL by the according cmd_type. However i2o has used REQ_SPECIAL not as command type but as driver-specific flag for the debug purposes. As result all i2o requests have type "special" now, are not processed to the hardware and fail with I/O error: i2o/hda:<3>Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 Buffer I/O error on device i2o/hda, logical block 0 unable to read partition table block-osm: device added (TID: 207): i2o/hda The following patch removes the extra debug checks without any drawbacks and restores the normal driver's work.

[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls

2006-12-13T17:05:58Z

Run this: #!/bin/sh for f in $(grep -Erl "$[^$]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do echo "De-casting $f..." perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?$[^$]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f done And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers to non-pointers. And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

[PATCH] i2o_exec_exit and i2o_driver_exit should not be __exit.

2006-12-13T17:05:47Z

i2o_exec_exit and i2o_driver_exit were marked as __exit which is a bug because both are invoked from __init and __exit functions. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle Cc: Markus Lidel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] kernel-doc: fix fusion and i2o docs

[PATCH] I2O: fix I2O_CONFIG without Adaptec extension

2006-12-07T16:39:39Z

With I2O_CONFIG=y and I2O_EXT_ADAPTEC=n, kernel build gets: drivers/message/i2o/i2o_config.c:1115: error: 'i2o_cfg_compat_ioctl' undeclared here (not in a function) Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Cc: Markus Lidel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] I2O: handle __copy_from_user

2006-12-07T16:39:39Z

Handle __copy_from_user() return value. Noticed by inspection, not from build warning. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Cc: Markus Lidel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] I2O: more error checking

2006-12-07T16:39:31Z

i2o_scsi: handle sysfs failure i2o_device: * convert i2o_device_add() to return integer error code rather than pointer. Fortunately -nobody- checks the return code of this function, so changing has nil impact. * handle errors thrown by device_register() More work in i2o_device remains.

[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25Z

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
