  • Skip a superfluous pause that occured when the config ROM of a node was
    scanned unsuccessfully. This also occurs if a node without link wrongly
    enables its "link active" self ID flag. A GWCTech 6-port hub does this.

  • Units were not detected if the local IRM performed a bus reset. ("The root
    node is not cycle master capable; selecting a new root node and resetting...",
    often seen with iPods and other SBP-2 devices). Rearrange the order of IRM
    duties and node scanning. TODO: Audit the ROM caching and parsing code for
    underlying issues.

  • Lots of this patch is trivial code cleanups (static vars were being
    intialized to 0, etc).

    There's also some fixes for ISO transmits (max buffer handling).
    Aswell, we have a few fixes to disable IRM capabilites correctly. We've
    also disabled, by default some generally unused EXPORT symbols for the
    sake of cleanliness in the kernel. However, instead of removing them
    completely, we felt it necessary to have a config option that allowed
    them to be enabled for the many projects outside of the main kernel tree
    that use our API for driver development.

    The primary reason for this patch is to revert a MODE6->MODE10 RBC
    conversion patch from the SCSI maintainers. The new conversions handled
    directly in the scsi layer do not seem to work for SBP2. This patch
    reverts to our old working code so that users can enjoy using Firewire
    disks and dvd drives again.

    We are working with the SCSI maintainers to resolve this issue outside
    of the main kernel tree. We'll merge the patch once the SCSI layer's
    handling of the MODE10 conversion is working for us.

  • 1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

    frozen(process) Check for frozen process
    freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen
    freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
    thaw_process(process) Restart process
    frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now

    2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
    kernel sources except sched.h

    3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

    4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

    5. Some whitespace cleanup

    6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
    cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
    PF_FROZEN).

    This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
    that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
    in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

  • 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!
