gdth driver is modified NOT to use scp->eh_timeout. Now, it has
eh_timed_out (gdth_timed_out) to handle command timeouts for locked
I/O's. Have not tested as I don't have needed hardware! Patch is
against 2.6.23-mm1.

Make the cciss driver notify the scsi mid layer of device
changes (e.g. hot pluggable tape drives mostly). Also
made it register with the scsi mid layer even if no
devices are present so adding the first device is
not different than adding 2nd or nth device.

This patch fixes the calculation of the data transfer residual for the
case of a command that is supposed to transfer an odd number of bytes on
a wide bus but transfers nothing instead.

Re-Sending:
Christoph,
Here are the clarification for the design to implement the fast_load,
cmd_per_lun and max_sectors:
The fast_load parameter is for the user to decide at driver load time if
(s)he wants to skip scan of devices in PD channels.
After driver is loaded the user cannot be permit

Christoph,
The e-mail I sent out on Oct. 31st was bounced back, I re-send it again.
I see that scsi_scan_host_selected is in scsi_priv.h and currently is
not used by any other driver. The scsi_priv.h is not part of the include
dir (/include/scsi). One of the major Linux distro's do

James,
The current feature request is to allow the user to change "cmd_per_lun"
and "max_sectors" only during the driver loading time. I agree with you
it is very good feature to provide option to modify these during run
time. In future this may be done as required/requested for. But

Did you have a look at scsi_mid_low_api.txt?

At the block level bidi request uses req->next_rq pointer for a second
bidi_read request.
At Scsi-midlayer a second scsi_data_buffer structure is used for the
bidi_read part. This bidi scsi_data_buffer is put on
request->next_rq->special. Struct scsi_cmnd is not changed.
- Define scsi
In preparation for bidi we abstract all IO members of scsi_cmnd,
that will need to duplicate, into a substructure.
- Group all IO members of scsi_cmnd into a scsi_data_buffer
structure.
- Adjust accessors to new members.
- scsi_{alloc,free}_sgtable receive a scsi_data_buffer instead
- If we export scsi_init_io()/scsi_release_buffers() instead of
scsi_{alloc,free}_sgtable() from scsi_lib than tgt code is
much more insulated from scsi_lib changes. As a bonus it will
also gain bidi capability when it comes.

I'm not sure that I understand the meaning of max_sectors in
scsi_host_template. Is it the maximum data length of a single SCSI
command? Is it in bytes? What's the size of a sector?
Thanks,
