Could you please describe the changes you have made? ie: what the bugs
are, and how you fixed them?

Thanks.

Oh sorry, totally forgot.

drivers/message/i2o/i2o_block.c:
--------------------------------
- corrected the initialization sequence of the request queues.
- added initialization to queue spinlocks.
- release device in i2o_scan because else the device could not be queried.

- i2o_block event threads wait on signal KILL but signal TERM was sent.

drivers/message/i2o/i2o_core.c:
-------------------------------
- set the HRT length to 0 at initialization, to avoid calling free on unallocated memory.
- i2o_core event threads wait on signal KILL but signal TERM was sent.
- added a limit of 3 tries to get the HRT from the controller.
- removed the dpt parameter, which was used to force DPT controllers get handled by the i2o driver. Now all available i2o controllers will be handled by this driver.

drivers/message/i2o/i2o_scsi.c:
-------------------------------
- beautifying of printk calls.
- added scsi_unregister to properly clean up on module unload.

drivers/message/i2o/Kconfig:
----------------------------
- added help for i2o_block and i2o_scsi to describe the differences between the two drivers.


include/linux/i2o-dev.h:
------------------------
- cleaned typo "tate" into "state".

include/linux/i2o.h:
--------------------
- removed defines from i2o_block and insert it here.


Hope it is okey this way.

Best regards,


Markus Lidel

I'm happy someone is touching I2O subsystem again...

What devices are you testing your changes with?

currently i only have tested them with a RAID array. That's the main usage
of I2O controllers i think. But a tape drive would be important too in my
opinion. If you have some other devices (e. g. scanners) which does or
doesn't work it would be nice, if you could give me some feedback, so i
could fix it (hopefully).


Best regards,
