    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

  • a88dc06cd   scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code ... Browse Code »

    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.

    "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."

    is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are
    replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the

  • c743e44fb   [SCSI] st: expand ability to write immediate filemarks ... Browse Code »

    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.

    Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
    they were part of.

    This attribute, requested by Redhat, allows kexec-tools to know
    whether the controller can honor the reset_devices kernel parameter
    and actually reset the controller. For kdump to work properly it
    is necessary that the reset_devices parameter be honored. This
    attribute enables kexec-tools to warn the user if they attempt to
    designate a non-resettable controller as the dump device.
