Revision f6771dbb27c704ce837ba3bb1dcaa53f48f76ea8 authored by Ralf Baechle on 08 November 2007, 18:02:29 UTC, committed by Ralf Baechle on 15 November 2007, 23:21:49 UTC
Shadow register support would not possibly have worked on multicore systems. The support code for it was also depending not on MIPS R2 but VSMP or SMTC kernels even though it makes perfect sense with UP kernels. SR sets are a scarce resource and the expected usage pattern is that users actually hardcode the register set numbers in their code. So fix the allocator by ditching it. Move the remaining CPU probe bits into the generic CPU probe. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2.3.18 and later
- Sync with other changes from the 2.3 kernels
4.00.04 - Rename structures/constants to be prefixed with IPS_
4.00.03 - Add alternative passthru interface
- Add ability to flash ServeRAID BIOS
4.00.02 - Fix problem with PT DCDB with no buffer
4.00.01 - Add support for First Failure Data Capture
4.00.00 - Add support for ServeRAID 4
3.60.02 - Make DCDB direction based on lookup table.
- Only allow one DCDB command to a SCSI ID at a time.
3.60.01 - Remove bogus error check in passthru routine.
3.60.00 - Bump max commands to 128 for use with ServeRAID
firmware 3.60.
- Change version to 3.60 to coincide with ServeRAID release
numbering.
1.00.00 - Initial Public Release
- Functionally equivalent to 0.99.05
0.99.05 - Fix an oops on certain passthru commands
0.99.04 - Fix race condition in the passthru mechanism
-- this required the interface to the utilities to change
- Fix error recovery code
0.99.03 - Make interrupt routine handle all completed request on the
adapter not just the first one
- Make sure passthru commands get woken up if we run out of
SCBs
- Send all of the commands on the queue at once rather than
one at a time since the card will support it.
0.99.02 - Added some additional debug statements to print out
errors if an error occurs while trying to read/write
to a logical drive (IPS_DEBUG).
- Fixed read/write errors when the adapter is using an
8K stripe size.
