Mon Nov 29 03:03:00 1993

        * linux 0.99.14 released.

	* All scsi stuff moved from kernel/blk_drv/scsi to drivers/scsi.

	* Throughout: Grammatical corrections to various comments.

	* Makefile: fix so that we do not need to compile things we are
	not going to use.

	* NCR5380.c, NCR5380.h, g_NCR5380.c, g_NCR5380.h, pas16.c,
	pas16.h, t128.c, t128.h:  New files from Drew.

	* aha152x.c, aha152x.h: New files from Juergen Fischer.

	* 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.

	* hosts.c: Support new low-level adapters.  Allow for more than
	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
	after a low-level reset, start the command again.  Sort blacklist,
	and add Maxtor MXT-1240S, XT-4170S, NEC CDROM 84, Seagate ST157N.

	* scsi.h: Add constants for tagged queueing.

	* 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.

    * sr.c: Set up blocksize array for all discs.  Fix bug in freeing
    buffers if we run out of dma pool.

    * scsi.c: First attempt to fix problem with old_use_sg.  Change
    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.

    * 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.

    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.

    * 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).

    (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.
