- * version sym-2.1.0-20001230
- - Initial release of SYM-2.
- Mon Jan 08 21:30 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.1-20010108
- - Change a couple of defines containing ncr or NCR by their
- equivalent containing sym or SYM instead.
- Sun Jan 14 22:30 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.2-20010114
- - Fix a couple of printfs:
- * Add the target number to the display of transfer parameters.
- * Make the display of TCQ and queue depth clearer.
- Wed Jan 17 23:30 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.3-20010117
- - Wrong residual values were returned in some situations.
- This broke cdrecord with linux-2.4.0, for example.
- Sat Jan 20 18:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.4-20010120
- - Add year 2001 to Copyright.
- - A tiny bug in the dma memory freeing path has been fixed.
- (Driver unload failed with a bad address reference).
- Wed Jan 24 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.5-20010124
- - Make the driver work under Linux-2.4.x when statically linked
- with the kernel.
- - Check against memory allocation failure for SCRIPTZ and add the
- missing free of this memory on instance detach.
- - Check against GPIO3 pulled low for HVD controllers (driver did
- just the opposite).
- Misdetection of BUS mode was triggerred on module reload only,
- since BIOS settings were trusted instead on first load.
- Wed Feb 7 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.6-20010207
- - Call pci_enable_device() as wished by kernel maintainers.
- - Change the sym_queue_scsiio() interface.
- This is intended to simplify portability.
- - Move the code intended to deal with the dowloading of SCRIPTS
- from SCRIPTS :) in the patch method (was wrongly placed in
- the SCRIPTS setup method).
- - Add a missing cpu_to_scr() (np->abort_tbl.addr)
- - Remove a wrong cpu_to_scr() (np->targtbl_ba)
- - Cleanup a bit the PPR failure recovery code.
- Sat Mar 3 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- - Add option SYM_OPT_ANNOUNCE_TRANSFER_RATE and move the
- corresponding code to file sym_misc.c.
- Also move the code that sniffes INQUIRY to sym_misc.c.
- This allows to share the corresponding code with NetBSD
- without polluating the core driver source (sym_hipd.c).
- - Add optionnal code that handles IO timeouts from the driver.
- (not used under Linux, but required for NetBSD)
- - Donnot assume any longer that PAGE_SHIFT and PAGE_SIZE are
- defined at compile time, as at least NetBSD uses variables
- in memory for that.
- - Refine a work-around for the C1010-33 that consists in
- disabling internal LOAD/STORE. Was applied up to revision 1.
- Is now only applied to revision 0.
- - Some code reorganisations due to code moves between files.
- Tues Apr 10 21:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.9-20010412
- - Reset 53C896 and 53C1010 chip according to the manual.
- (i.e.: set the ABRT bit in ISTAT if SCRIPTS are running)
- - Set #LUN in request sense only if scsi version <= 2 and
- #LUN <= 7.
- - Set busy_itl in LCB to 1 if the LCB is allocated and a
- SCSI command is active. This is a simplification.
- - In sym_hcb_free(), donnot scan the free_ccbq if no CCBs
- has been allocated. This fixes a panic if attach failed.
- - Add DT/ST (double/simple transition) in the transfer
- negotiation announce.
- - Forces the max number of tasks per LUN to at least 64.
- - Use pci_set_dma_mask() for linux-2.4.3 and above.
- - A couple of comments fixes.
- Wed May 22:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.10-20010509
- - Mask GPCNTL against 0x1c (was 0xfc) for the reading of the NVRAM.
- This ensure LEDC bit will not be set on 896 and later chips.
- Fix sent by Chip Salzenberg <chip@perlsupport.com>.
- - Define the number of PQS BUSes supported.
- Fix sent by Stig Telfer <stig@api-networks.com>
- - Miscellaneous common code rearrangements due to NetBSD accel
- ioctl support, without impact on Linux (hopefully).
- Mon July 2 12:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.11-20010702
- - Add Tekram 390 U2B/U2W SCSI LED handling.
- Submitted by Chip Salzenberg <chip@valinux.com>
- - Add call to scsi_set_pci_device() for kernels >= 2.4.4.
- - Check pci dma mapping failures and complete the IO with some
- error when such mapping fails.
- - Fill in instance->max_cmd_len for kernels > 2.4.0.
- - A couple of tiny fixes ...
- Sun Sep 9 18:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.12-20010909
- - Change my email address.
- - Add infrastructure for the forthcoming 64 bit DMA adressing support.
- (Based on PCI 64 bit patch from David S. Miller)
- - Donnot use anymore vm_offset_t type.
- Sat Sep 15 20:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.13-20010916
- - Add support for 64 bit DMA addressing using segment registers.
- 16 registers for up to 4 GB x 16 -> 64 GB.
- Sat Sep 22 12:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.14-20010922
- - Complete rewrite of the eh handling. The driver is now using a
- semaphore in order to behave synchronously as required by the eh
- threads. A timer is also used to prevent from waiting indefinitely.
- Sun Sep 30 17:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.15-20010930
- - Include <linux/module.h> unconditionnaly as expected by latest
- kernels.
- - Use del_timer_sync() for recent kernels to kill the driver timer
- on module release.
- Sun Oct 28 15:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.16-20011028
- - Slightly simplify driver configuration.
- - Prepare a new patch against linux-2.4.13.
- Sat Nov 17 10:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.17
- - Fix a couple of gcc/gcc3 warnings.
- - Allocate separately from the HCB the array for CCBs hashed by DSA.
- All driver memory allocations are now not greater than 1 PAGE
- even on PPC64 / 4KB PAGE surprising setup.
- Sat Dec 01 18:00 2001 Gerard Roudier
- * version sym-2.1.17a
- - Use u_long instead of U32 for the IO base cookie. This is more
- consistent with what archs are expecting.
- - Use MMIO per default for Power PC instead of some fake normal IO,
- as Paul Mackerras stated that MMIO works fine now on this arch.
