Sat Jan 18 15:51:45 1997  Richard Henderson  <rth@tamu.edu>

        * Don't play with usage_count directly, instead hand around
        the module header and use the module macros.

        As a preparation for new device code, separated the various
        functions the request->dev field had into the device proper,
        request->rq_dev and a status field request->rq_status.

        The 2nd argument of bios_param is now a kdev_t.

        * Linux 1.2.5 released.

        * buslogic.c: Update to version 1.15 (From Leonard N. Zubkoff).
        Fixed interrupt routine to avoid races when handling multiple
        complete commands per interrupt.  Seems to come up with faster
        cards.

        * eata_dma.c: Update to 2.3.5r. Modularize. Improved error handling
        throughout and fixed bug interrupt routine which resulted in shifted
        status bytes. Added blink LED state checks for ISA and EISA HBAs.
        Memory management bug seems to have disappeared ==> increasing
        C_P_L_CURRENT_MAX to 16 for now. Decreasing C_P_L_DIV to 3 for
        performance reasons.

        * scsi.c: If we get a FMK, EOM, or ILI when attempting to scan
        the bus, assume that it was just noise on the bus, and ignore
        the device.

        * scsi.h: Update and add a bunch of missing commands which we
        were never using.

        * sd.c: Use restore_flags in do_sd_request - this may result in
        latency conditions, but it gets rid of races and crashes.
        Do not save flags again when searching for a second command to
        queue.

        * st.c: Use bytes, not STP->buffer->buffer_size when reading
        from tape.

        detection.  If scsi_register_host returns NULL, fail gracefully.

        * scsi.c: Detect as NEC (for photo-cd purposes) for the 84
        and 25 models as "NEC_OLDCDR".

        * scsi.h: Add define for NEC_OLDCDR

        * sr.c: Add handling for NEC_OLDCDR.  Treat as unknown.

        * u14-34f.c: Update to version 2.0.  Fixed same bug as in
        eata.c.

        need this to be dma compatible for some host adapters.
        Restore interrupts after unregistering a host.

        * sd.c: Use sti instead of restore flags - causes latency problems.

        * seagate.c: Use controller_type to determine string used when

        and decrease C_P_L_DIV to 4.

        * hosts.c: If we remove last host registered, reuse host number.
        When freeing memory from host being deregistered, free extra_bytes
        too.

        Change memory allocation to work around bugs in __get_dma_pages.
        Do not free host if usage count is not zero (for modules).

        * sr_ioctl.c: Increase IOCTL_TIMEOUT to 3000.

        * st.c: Allow for ST_EXTRA_DEVS in st data structures.

        * u14-34f.c: Update to 1.17.

        * eata.c: Change naming from eata_* to eata2x_*.  Now at vers 1.15.
        Update interrupt handler to take pt_regs as arg.  Allow blocking
        even if loaded as module.  Initialize target_time_out array.
        Do not put sti(); in timing loop.

        * hosts.c: Do not reuse host numbers.
        Use scsi_make_blocked_list to generate blocking list.

        * script_asm.pl:  Beats me.  Don't know perl.  Something to do with
        phase index.

        * scsi.c (scsi_make_blocked_list): New function - code copied from
        hosts.c.

        all DATA IN and DATA OUT phases right. Utilize HBA_interpret flag.
        Improvements in HBA identification. Various other minor stuff.

        * hosts.c: Initialize ->dma_channel and ->io_port when registering
        a new host.

        * qlogic.c: Modularize and add PCMCIA support.

        * scsi.c: Add Hitachi to blacklist.

        * Linux 1.1.82 released.

        Throughout.
        - Change all interrupt handlers to accept new calling convention.
        In particular, we now receive the irq number as one of the arguments.

        * More minor spelling corrections in some of the new files.

        * aha1542.c, buslogic.c: Clean up interrupt handler a little now
        that we receive the irq as an arg.

        * aha274x.c: s/snarf_region/request_region/

        * eata.c: Update to version 1.12.   Fix some comments and display a

Fri Jan 13 12:54:46 1995  Eric Youngdale  (eric@andante)

        * Linux 1.1.81 released.  Codefreeze for 1.2 release announced.

        Big changes here.

        * eata_dma.*: New files from Michael Neuffer.
        (neuffer@goofy.zdv.uni-mainz.de).  Should support
        all eata/dpt cards.

        * hosts.c, Makefile: Add eata_dma.

        * README.st: Document MTEOM.

        Patches from me (ERY) to finish support for low-level loadable scsi.
        It now works, and is actually useful.

        * Throughout - add new argument to scsi_init_malloc that takes an
        additional parameter.  This is used as a priority to kmalloc,
        and you can specify the GFP_DMA flag if you need DMA-able memory.

        * Makefile: For source files that are loadable, always add name
        to SCSI_SRCS.  Fill in modules: target.

        * hosts.c:  Change next_host to next_scsi_host, and make global.
        Print hosts after we have identified all of them.  Use info()
        function if present, otherwise use name field.

        * hosts.h: Change attach function to return int, not void.
        Define number of device slots to allow for loadable devices.
        Define tags to tell scsi module code what type of module we
        are loading.

        * scsi.c: Fix scan_scsis so that it can be run by a user process.
        Do not use waiting loops - use up and down mechanism as long
        as current != task[0].

        * scsi.c(scan_scsis): Do not use stack variables for I/O - this
        could be > 16Mb if we are loading a module at runtime (i.e. use
        scsi_init_malloc to get some memory we know will be safe).

        * scsi.c: Change dma freelist to be a set of pages.  This allows
        us to dynamically adjust the size of the list by adding more pages
        to the pagelist.  Fix scsi_malloc and scsi_free accordingly.

        * scsi_module.c: Fix include.

        * sd.c: Declare detach function.  Increment/decrement module usage
        count as required.  Fix init functions to allow loaded devices.
        Revalidate all new disks so we get the partition tables.  Define
        detach function.

        * sr.c: Likewise.

        * sg.c: Declare detach function.  Allow attachment of devices on
        loaded drivers.

        * st.c: Declare detach function.  Increment/decrement module usage
        count as required.

Tue Jan 10 10:09:58 1995  Eric Youngdale  (eric@andante)

        * Linux 1.1.79 released.

        Patch from some undetermined individual who needs to get a life :-).

        * sr.c: Attacked by spelling bee...

        Patches from Gerd Knorr:

        * sr.c: make printk messages for photoCD a little more informative.

        * sr_ioctl.c: Fix CDROMMULTISESSION_SYS ioctl.

Mon Jan  9 10:01:37 1995  Eric Youngdale  (eric@andante)

        * Linux 1.1.78 released.

        * Makefile: Add empty modules: target.

        * Wheee.  Now change register_iomem to request_region.

        * in2000.c: Bugfix - apparently this is the fix that we have
        all been waiting for.  It fixes a problem whereby the driver
        is not stable under heavy load.  Race condition and all that.

        * buslogic.c: Set forbidden_addr stuff if using a buggy board.

        * aha1740.c: Test for NULL pointer in SCtmp.  This should not

        * u14-34f.c: Use block field in Scsi_Host to prevent commands from
        being queued to more than one host at the same time (used when
        motherboard does not deal with multiple bus-masters very well).
        Only when SINGLE_HOST_OPERATIONS is defined.
        Use new cmd_per_lun field.  [Dario]

        values depending upon bus type (i.e. use 1 if ISA, so we do not
        hog memory).  Use other patches which got lost from 1.1.68.

        * aha1542.c: Spelling.

Tue Nov 29 15:43:50 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@andante.aib.com)

        Add support for 12 byte vendor specific commands in scsi-generics,
        more (i.e. the last mandatory) low-level changes to support

        lately.  Changes by me (ERY) unless otherwise noted.  Spelling
        changes appear from some unknown corner of the universe.

        * Throughout: Change COMMAND_SIZE() to use SCpnt->cmd_len.

        * Throughout: Change info() low level function to take a Scsi_Host
        pointer.  This way the info function can return specific
        information about the host in question, if desired.

        Move abort timeout message.  Fix panic in request_queueable to
        print correct function name.

        * scsi.c: When incrementing usage count, walk block linked list
        for host, and or in SCSI_HOST_BLOCK bit.  When decrementing usage
        count to 0, clear this bit to allow usage to continue, wake up
        processes waiting.


        * scsi_ioctl.c: If we have an info() function, call it, otherwise
        if we have a "name" field, use it, else do nothing.

        * sd.c, sr.c: Clear cmd_len field prior to each command we
        generate.

        * sd.h: Add "has_part_table" bit to rscsi_disks.

        * sg.[c,h]: Add support for vendor specific 12 byte commands (i.e.
        override command length in COMMAND_SIZE).

        * sr.c: Bugfix from Gerd in photocd code.

        * sr.c: Bugfix in get_sectorsize - always use scsi_malloc buffer -
        we cannot guarantee that the stack is < 16Mb.

        * t128.c: Update with minor cleanups.

        * scsi.c (scsi_pid): New variable - gives each command a unique
        id. Add Quantum LPS5235S to blacklist.  Change in_scan to
        in_scan_scsis and make global.

        * scsi.h: Add some defines for extended message handling,
        INITIATE/RELEASE_RECOVERY.  Add a few new fields to support sync
        transfers.

Tue Jul 26 21:36:58 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        * Linux 1.1.37 released.

        * aha1542.c: Always call aha1542_mbenable, use new udelay
        mechanism so we do not wait a long time if the board does not
        implement this command.

        * g_NCR5380.c: Remove #include <linux/config.h> and #if
        defined(CONFIG_SCSI_*).

        * seagate.c: Likewise.

        Next round of changes to support loadable modules.  Getting closer
        now, still not possible to do anything remotely usable.

        (scsi_register_device): New function to insert into this list.
        (scsi_init): Call scsi_register_device for each of the known high
        level drivers.

        definition for device template structure which defines the linked
        list.

        scsi.c: (scan_scsis): Use linked list instead of knowledge about
        existing high level device drivers.
        (scsi_dev_init): Use init functions for drivers on linked list
        instead of explicit list to initialize and attach devices to high
        level drivers.

        scsi.h: Add new field "attached" to scsi_device - count of number
        of high level devices attached.

        sd.c, sr.c, sg.c, st.c: Adjust init/attach functions to use new
        scheme.

Sat Jul 23 13:03:17 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        * Linux 1.1.35 released.

        * ultrastor.c: Change constraint on asm() operand so that it works
        with gcc 2.6.0.

Thu Jul 21 10:37:39 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        * Linux 1.1.33 released.

        * sr.c(sr_open): Do not allow opens with write access.

Mon Jul 18 09:51:22 1994 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        * Linux 1.1.31 released.

        * sd.c: Increase SD_TIMEOUT from 300 to 600.

        * sr.c: Remove stray task_struct* variable that was no longer
        used.

        * sr_ioctl.c: Fix typo in up() call.

Sun Jul 17 16:25:29 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        * Linux 1.1.30 released.

        * scsi.c (scan_scsis): Fix detection of some Toshiba CDROM drives
        that report themselves as disk drives.

        * (Throughout): Use request.sem instead of request.waiting.
        Should fix swap problem with fdomain.

Thu Jul 14 10:51:42 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        * Linux 1.1.29 released.

        * scsi.c (scan_scsis): Add new devices to end of linked list, not
        to the beginning.

        * scsi.h (SCSI_SLEEP): Remove brain dead hack to try to save
        the task state before sleeping.

Sat Jul  9 15:01:03 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        More changes to eventually support loadable modules.  Mainly
        we want to use linked lists instead of arrays because it is easier
        to dynamically add and remove things this way.

        Quite a bit more work is needed before loadable modules are
        possible (and usable) with scsi, but this is most of the grunge
        work.

        * Linux 1.1.28 released.

        * scsi.c, scsi.h (allocate_device, request_queueable): Change
        argument from index into scsi_devices to a pointer to the
        Scsi_Device struct.

        * Throughout: Change all calls to allocate_device,
        request_queueable to use new calling sequence.

        * Throughout: Use SCpnt->device instead of
        scsi_devices[SCpnt->index].  Ugh - the pointer was there all along
        - much cleaner this way.

        * scsi.c (scsi_init_malloc, scsi_free_malloc): New functions -
        allow us to pretend that we have a working malloc when we
        initialize.  Use this instead of passing memory_start, memory_end
        around all over the place.

        * scsi.h, st.c, sr.c, sd.c, sg.c: Change *_init1 functions to use
        scsi_init_malloc, remove all arguments, no return value.

        * scsi.h: Remove index field from Scsi_Device and Scsi_Cmnd
        structs.

        * scsi.c (scsi_dev_init): Set up for scsi_init_malloc.
        (scan_scsis): Get SDpnt from scsi_init_malloc, and refresh
        when we discover a device.  Free pointer before returning.
        Change scsi_devices into a linked list.

        * scsi.c (scan_scsis): Change to only scan one host.
        (scsi_dev_init): Loop over all detected hosts, and scan them.

        * hosts.c  (scsi_init_free): Change so that  number of extra bytes
        is stored in struct, and we do not have to pass it each time.

        * hosts.h: Change Scsi_Host_Template struct to include "next" and
        "release" functions.  Initialize to NULL in all low level
        adapters.

        * hosts.c: Rename scsi_hosts to builtin_scsi_hosts, create linked
        list scsi_hosts, linked together with the new "next" field.

Wed Jul  6 05:45:02 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        * Linux 1.1.25 released.

        * aha152x.c: Changes from Juergen - cleanups and updates.

        * sd.c, sr.c: Use new check_media_change and revalidate
        file_operations fields.

        * st.c, st.h: Add changes from Kai Makisara, dated Jun 22.

        * hosts.h: Change SG_ALL back to 0xff.  Apparently soft error
        in /dev/brain resulted in having this bumped up.
        Change first parameter in bios_param function to be Disk * instead
        of index into rscsi_disks.

        * sd_ioctl.c: Pass pointer to rscsi_disks element instead of index
        to array.

        * sd.h: Add struct name "scsi_disk" to typedef for Scsi_Disk.

        * scsi.c: Remove redundant Maxtor XT8760S from blacklist.
        In scsi_reset, add printk when DEBUG defined.

        * All low level drivers: Modify definitions of bios_param in
        appropriate way.

Thu Jun 16 10:31:59 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        * Linux 1.1.20 released.

        * scsi_ioctl.c: Only pass down the actual number of characters
        required to scsi_do_cmd, not the one rounded up to a even number
        of sectors.

        * ultrastor.c: Changes from Caleb Epstein for 24f cards.  Support
        larger SG lists.

        * ultrastor.c: Changes from me - use scsi_register to register
        host.  Add some consistency checking,

Wed Jun  1 21:12:13 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        * Linux 1.1.19 released.

        * scsi.h: Add new return code for reset() function:
        SCSI_RESET_PUNT.

        * scsi.c: Make SCSI_RESET_PUNT the same as SCSI_RESET_WAKEUP for
        now.

        * aha1542.c: If the command responsible for the reset is not
        pending, return SCSI_RESET_PUNT.

        * aha1740.c, buslogic.c, wd7000.c, ultrastor.c: Return
        SCSI_RESET_PUNT instead of SCSI_RESET_SNOOZE.

Tue May 31 19:36:01 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        * buslogic.c: Do not print out message about "must be Adaptec"
        if we have detected a buslogic card.  Print out a warning message
        if we are configuring for >16Mb, since the 445S at board level
        D or earlier does not work right.  The "D" level board can be made
        to work by flipping an undocumented switch, but this is too subtle.

    Changes based upon patches in Yggdrasil distribution.

        * sg.c, sg.h: Return sense data to user.

        * aha1542.c, aha1740.c, buslogic.c: Do not panic if
        sense buffer is wrong size.

        * hosts.c: Test for ultrastor card before any of the others.

        * scsi.c: Allow boot-time option for max_scsi_luns=? so that
        buggy firmware has an easy work-around.

Sun May 15 20:24:34 1994  Eric Youngdale  (eric@esp22)

        * Linux 1.1.15 released.

        Post-codefreeze thaw...

        * buslogic.[c,h]: New driver from David Gentzel.

        * hosts.h: Add use_clustering field to explicitly say whether
        clustering should be used for devices attached to this host
        adapter.  The buslogic board apparently supports large SG lists,
        but it is apparently faster if sd.c condenses this into a smaller
        list.

        * sd.c: Use this field instead of heuristic.

        * All host adapter include files: Add appropriate initializer for
        use_clustering field.

        * scsi.h: Add #defines for return codes for the abort and reset
        functions.  There are now a specific set of return codes to fully
        specify all of the possible things that the low-level adapter
        could do.

        * scsi.c: Act based upon return codes from abort/reset functions.

        * All host adapter abort/reset functions: Return new return code.

        * Add code in scsi.c to help debug timeouts.  Use #define
        DEBUG_TIMEOUT to enable this.

        * scsi.c: If the host->irq field is set, use
        disable_irq/enable_irq before calling queuecommand if we
        are not already in an interrupt.  Reduce races, and we
        can be sloppier about cli/sti in the interrupt routines now
        (reduce interrupt latency).

        * constants.c: Fix some things to eliminate warnings.  Add some
        sense descriptions that were omitted before.

        * aha1542.c: Watch for SCRD from host adapter - if we see it, set
        a flag.  Currently we only print out the number of pending
        commands that might need to be restarted.

        * aha1542.c (aha1542_abort): Look for lost interrupts, OGMB still
        full, and attempt to recover.  Otherwise give up.

        * aha1542.c (aha1542_reset): Try BUS DEVICE RESET, and then pass
        DID_RESET back up to the upper level code for all commands running
        on this target (even on different LUNs).

Sat May  7 14:54:01 1994

        * Linux 1.1.12 released.

        * st.c, st.h: New version from Kai.  Supports boot time
        specification of number of buffers.

        * wd7000.[c,h]: Updated driver from John Boyd.  Now supports
        more than one wd7000 board in machine at one time, among other things.

Wed Apr 20 22:20:35 1994

        * Linux 1.1.8 released.

        * sd.c: Add a few type casts where scsi_malloc is called.

        * Linux 1.1.4 released.

        * scsi.c: Clean up a few printks (use %p to print pointers).

Wed Apr 13 11:33:02 1994

        * Linux 1.1.3 released.

        * fdomain.c: Update to version 5.16 (Handle different FIFO sizes
        better).

Fri Apr  8 08:57:19 1994

        * Linux 1.1.2 released.

        * Throughout: SCSI portion of cluster diffs added.

Tue Apr  5 07:41:50 1994

        * Linux 1.1 development tree initiated.

        * The linux 1.0 development tree is now effectively frozen except
        for obvious bugfixes.

        * aha1542.c: Support for more than one 1542 in the machine
        at the same time.  Make functions static that do not need
        visibility.

        * aha1740.c: Set NEEDS_JUMPSTART flag in reset function, so we
        know to restart the command.  Change prototype of aha1740_reset
        to take a command pointer.

        * constants.c: Clean up a few things.

        * fdomain.c: Update to version 5.6.  Move snarf_region.  Allow
        board to be set at different SCSI ids.  Remove support for
        reselection (did not work well).  Set JUMPSTART flag in reset
        code.

        one adapter of a given type.

        * hosts.h: Allow for more than one adapter of a given type.

        * scsi.c:  Add scsi_device_types array, if NEEDS_JUMPSTART is set

        * Throughout: Use constants from major.h instead of hardcoded
        numbers for major numbers.

        * scsi_ioctl.c: Fix bug in buffer length in ioctl_command.  Use
        verify_area in GET_IDLUN ioctl.  Add new ioctls for
        TAGGED_QUEUE_ENABLE, DISABLE.  Only allow IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND by
        superuser.

        * sd.c: Only pay attention to UNIT_ATTENTION for removable disks.
        Fix bug where sometimes portions of blocks would get lost
        resulting in processes hanging.  Add messages when we spin up a
        disk, and fix a bug in the timing.  Increase read-ahead for disks
        that are on a scatter-gather capable host adapter.

        * seagate.c: Fix so that some parameters can be set from the lilo
        prompt.  Supply jumpstart flag if we are resetting and need the
        command restarted.   Fix so that we return 1 if we detect a card
        so that multiple card detection works correctly.  Add yet another
        signature for FD cards (950).  Add another signature for ST0x.

        * sg.c, sg.h: New files from Lawrence Foard for generic scsi
        access.

        * sr.c:  Add type casts for (void*) so that we can do pointer
        arithmetic.  Works with GCC without this, but it is not strictly
        correct.  Same bugfix as was in sd.c.  Increase read-ahead a la
        disk driver.

        * sr_ioctl.c: Use scsi_malloc buffer instead of buffer from stack
        since we cannot guarantee that the stack is < 16Mb.

        ultrastor.c: Update to support 24f properly (JFC's driver).

        wd7000.c: Supply jumpstart flag for reset.  Do not round up
        number of cylinders in biosparam function.

Sat Sep  4 20:49:56 1993

    * 0.99pl13 released.

    * Throughout:  Use check_region/snarf_region for all low-level
    drivers.

    * aha1542.c: Do hard reset instead of soft (some ethercard probes
    screw us up).

    * scsi.c: Add new flag ASKED_FOR_SENSE so that we can tell if we are
    in a loop whereby the device returns null sense data.

    * sd.c: Add code to spin up a drive if it is not already spinning.
    Do this one at a time to make it easier on power supplies.

    * sd_ioctl.c: Use sync_dev instead of fsync_dev in BLKFLSBUF ioctl.

    * seagate.c: Switch around DATA/CONTROL lines.

    * st.c: Change sense to unsigned.

Thu Aug  5 11:59:18 1993

    * 0.99pl12 released.

    * constants.c, constants.h: New files with ascii descriptions of
    various conditions.

    * Makefile: Do not try to count the number of low-level drivers,
    just generate the list of .o files.

    * aha1542.c: Replace 16 with sizeof(SCpnt->sense_buffer).  Add tests
    for addresses > 16Mb, panic if we find one.

    * aha1740.c: Ditto with sizeof().

    * fdomain.c: Update to version 3.18.  Add new signature, register IRQ
    with irqaction.  Use ID 7 for new board.  Be more intelligent about
    obtaining the h/s/c numbers for biosparam.

    * hosts.c: Do not depend upon Makefile generated count of the number
    of low-level host adapters.

    * scsi.c: Use array for scsi_command_size instead of a function.  Add
    Texel cdrom and Maxtor XT-4380S to blacklist.  Allow compile time
    option for no-multi lun scan.  Add semaphore for possible problems
    with handshaking, assume device is faulty until we know it not to be
    the case.  Add DEBUG_INIT symbol to dump info as we scan for devices.
    Zero sense buffer so we can tell if we need to request it.  When
    examining sense information, request sense if buffer is all zero.
    If RESET, request sense information to see what to do next.

    * scsi_debug.c: Change some constants to use symbols like INT_MAX.

    * scsi_ioctl.c (kernel_scsi_ioctl): New function -for making ioctl
    calls from kernel space.

    * sd.c: Increase timeout to 300.  Use functions in constants.h to
    display info.  Use scsi_malloc buffer for READ_CAPACITY, since
    we cannot guarantee that a stack based buffer is < 16Mb.

    * sd_ioctl.c: Add BLKFLSBUF ioctl.

    * seagate.c: Add new compile time options for ARBITRATE,
    SLOW_HANDSHAKE, and SLOW_RATE.  Update assembly loops for transferring
    data.  Use kernel_scsi_ioctl to request mode page with geometry.

    * sr.c: Use functions in constants.c to display messages.

    * st.c: Support for variable block size.

    * ultrastor.c: Do not use cache for tape drives.  Set
    unchecked_isa_dma flag, even though this may not be needed (gets set
    later).

Sat Jul 17 18:32:44 1993

    * 0.99pl11 released.  C++ compilable.

    * Throughout: Add type casts all over the place, and use "ip" instead
    of "info" in the various biosparam functions.

    * Makefile: Compile seagate.c with C++ compiler.

    * aha1542.c: Always set ccb pointer as this gets trashed somehow on
    some systems.  Add a few type casts.  Update biosparam function a little.

    * aha1740.c: Add a few type casts.

    * fdomain.c: Update to version 3.17 from 3.6.  Now works with
    TMC-18C50.

    * scsi.c: Minor changes here and there with datatypes.  Save use_sg
    when requesting sense information so that this can properly be
    restored if we retry the command.  Set aside dma buffers assuming each
    block is 1 page, not 1Kb minix block.

    * scsi_ioctl.c: Add a few type casts.  Other minor changes.

    * sd.c:  Correctly  free all scsi_malloc'd memory if we run out of
    dma_pool. Store blocksize information for each partition.

    * seagate.c: Minor cleanups here and there.

    NOT_READY to a SUGGEST_ABORT.  Fix timeout race where time might
    get decremented past zero.

    * sd.c: Add block_fsync function to dispatch table.

    * sr.c: Increase timeout to 500 from 250.  Add entry for sync in
    dispatch table (supply NULL).  If we do not have a sectorsize,
    try to get it in the sd_open function.  Add new function just to
    obtain sectorsize.

    * sr.h: Add needs_sector_size semaphore.

    * st.c: Add NULL for fsync in dispatch table.

    * wd7000.c: Allow another condition for power on that are normal
    and do not require a panic.

    * 0.99pl9 released.

    * aha1542.c: Use (void) instead of () in setup_mailboxes.

    * scsi.c: Initialize transfersize and underflow fields in SCmd to 0.
    Do not panic for unsupported message bytes.

    * scsi.h: Allocate 12 bytes instead of 10 for commands.  Add
    transfersize and underflow fields.

    disconnect/reconnect, and support command linking.  Use
    transfersize and underflow fields.  Support scatter-gather.

    * sr.c, sr_ioctl.c: Use long instead of int for last parameter in sr_ioctl.
    Use buffer and buflength in do_ioctl.  Patches from Chris Newbold for
    scsi-2 audio commands.

    * ultrastor.c: Comment out in_byte (compiler warning).

    * wd7000.c: Change () to (void) in wd7000_enable_dma.

    * 0.99pl8 released.

    * aha1542.c: Handle mailboxes better for 1542C.
        Do not truncate number of cylinders at 1024 for biosparam call.

    * aha1740.c: Fix a few minor bugs for multiple devices.
        Same as above for biosparam.

    * scsi.c: Add lockable semaphore for removable devices that can have
    media removal prevented.  Add another signature for flopticals.
    (allocate_device): Fix race condition.  Allow more space in dma pool
    for blocksizes of up to 4Kb.

    * scsi.h: Define COMMAND_SIZE.  Define a SCSI specific version of
    INIT_REQUEST that can run with interrupts off.

    * scsi_ioctl.c: Make ioctl_probe function more idiot-proof.  If
    a removable device says ILLEGAL REQUEST to a door-locking command,
    clear lockable flag.  Add SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN ioctl.  Do not attempt
    to lock door for devices that do not have lockable semaphore set.

    * sd.c: Fix race condition for multiple disks.  Use INIT_SCSI_REQUEST
    instead of INIT_REQUEST.  Allow sector sizes of 1024 and 256.  For
    removable disks that are not ready, mark them as having a media change
    (some drives do not report this later).

    * seagate.c: Use volatile keyword for memory-mapped register pointers.

    * sr.c: Fix race condition, a la sd.c.  Increase the number of retries
    to 1.  Use INIT_SCSI_REQUEST.  Allow 512 byte sector sizes.  Do a
    read_capacity when we init the device so we know the size and
    sectorsize.

    * st.c: If ioctl not found in st.c, try scsi_ioctl for others.

    * ultrastor.c: Do not truncate number of cylinders at 1024 for
    biosparam call.

    Throughout: Use COMMAND_SIZE macro to determine length of scsi
    command.



Sat Mar 13 17:31:29 1993

    Throughout: Improve punctuation in some messages, and use new
    verify_area syntax.

    * aha1542.c: Handle unexpected interrupts better.

    * scsi.c: Ditto.  Handle reset conditions a bit better, asking for
    sense information and retrying if required.

    * scsi_ioctl.c: Allow for 12 byte scsi commands.

    * ultrastor.c: Update to use scatter-gather.

Sat Feb 20 17:57:15 1993

    * scsi.c: Ignore leading spaces when looking for blacklisted devices.

    * seagate.c: Add a few new signatures for FD cards.  Another patch
    with SCint to fix race condition.  Use recursion_depth to keep track
    of how many times we have been recursively called, and do not start
    another command unless we are on the outer level.  Fixes bug
    with Syquest cartridge drives (used to crash kernel), because
    they do not disconnect with large data transfers.

Tue Jan 12 14:33:36 1993

    * 0.99pl3 released.

    * fdomain.c: Update to version 3.3 (a few new signatures).

    * scsi.c: Add CDU-541, Denon DRD-25X to blacklist.
    (allocate_request, request_queueable): Init request.waiting to NULL if
    non-buffer type of request.

    * seagate.c:  Allow controller to be overridden with CONTROLLER symbol.
    Set SCint=NULL when we are done, to remove race condition.

    * st.c: Changes from Kai.

Wed Dec 30 20:03:47 1992

    * 0.99pl2 released.

    * scsi.c: Blacklist back in.  Remove Newbury drive as other bugfix
    eliminates need for it here.

    * sd.c: Return ENODEV instead of EACCES if no such device available.
    (sd_init) Init blkdev_fops earlier so that sd_open is available sooner.

    * sr.c: Same as above for sd.c.

    * st.c: Return ENODEV instead of ENXIO if no device.  Init chrdev_fops
    sooner, so that it is always there even if no tapes.

    * seagate.c (controller_type): New variable to keep track of ST0x or
    FD.  Modify signatures list to indicate controller type, and init
    controller_type once we find a match.

    * wd7000.c (wd7000_set_sync): Remove redundant function.

Sun Dec 20 16:26:24 1992

    * 0.99pl1 released.

    * scsi_ioctl.c: Bugfix - check dev->index, not dev->id against
    NR_SCSI_DEVICES.

    * sr_ioctl.c: Verify that device exists before allowing an ioctl.

    * st.c: Patches from Kai - change timeout values, improve end of tape
    handling.

Sun Dec 13 18:15:23 1992

    * 0.99 kernel released.  Baseline for this ChangeLog.
