  • Out of the three callers once insists on the scratch buffer, and the
    others are fine with a new allocation. Switch those two to just use
    pci_alloc_consistent directly, and open code the scratch buffer
    allocation in the remaining one. This avoids a case where we might
    be doing a memory allocation under a spinlock with irqs disabled.

  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
    Move those bits to the block layer.

    Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
    and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
    tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
    less timer fiddling.

  • - Based on same patch from Christoph Hellwig

    - Get rid of all the indirection in the Scsi_Host private data and always
    put the gdth_ha_str directly into it.

    - Change all internal functions prototype to recieve an "gdth_ha_str *ha"
    pointer directlly and kill all that redundent access to the "gdth_ctr_tab[]"
    controller-table.

  • The virt_ctr option allows to register a new scsi_host for each bus
    on the raid controller. This non-default option makes no sense with
    the current scsi code and prevents cleaning up the host registration,
    so remove it.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
