cciss: fix problem that deleting multiple logical drives could cause a panic

2008-12-19T07:14:07Z

Fix problem that deleting multiple logical drives could cause a panic. It fixes a panic which can be easily reproduced in the following way: Just create several "arrays," each with multiple logical drives via hpacucli, then delete the first array, and it will blow up in deregister_disk(), in the call to get_host() when it tries to dig the hba pointer out of a NULL queue pointer. The problem has been present since my code to make rebuild_lun_table behave better went in. Signed-off-by: Stephen M. Cameron Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

pktcdvd: remove broken dev_t export of class devices

2008-12-10T18:03:32Z

The pktcdvd created class devices only export some sysfs files, but have no char dev_t registered in the driver. At class device creation time they copy the dev_t value of the block device to the char device, wich will register a new char device in the driver core and userspace, with a conflicting dev_t value. In many cases the class devices dev_t just points to a random USB device. This fixes the sysfs "duplicate entry" errors.

xsysace: Fix driver to use resource_size_t instead of unsigned long

2008-11-14T17:21:57Z

This patch is a bug fix to the SystemACE driver to use resource_size_t for physical address instead of unsigned long. This makes the driver work correctly on 32 bit systems with 64-bit resources (e.g. PowerPC 440). Signed-off-by: Yuri Tikhonov Signed-off-by: Ilya Yanok Signed-off-by: Grant Likely
