Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 09:42:37 +0200 From: Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de> To: Linux SCSI list <linux-scsi@vger.rutgers.edu>, kernel@suse.de Mail-Followup-To: Linux SCSI list <linux-scsi@vger.rutgers.edu>, kernel@suse.de --gatW/ieO32f1wygP Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi everyone, two weeks ago, I announced tmscsim 2.0d8 which had some improvements. It should have resulted in less bugs and slightly better performance. I did tell you that it is the 2.0e candidate for inclusion into the kernel. I got some reports, most of which were indicating that 2.0d8 is really fine. However, one report was about a case, where 2.0d would have nicely handled a disk with I/O error and 2.0d8 didn't. 2.0d8 got stuck in an abort() loop and the system became unusable. Now, I spent some work on the driver again: * I improved the driver's command queueing * I fixed some problems arising when dynamically changing the max no of tags * I fixed the abort() routine. (No, it's not perfect yet, but much better.) I don't know, why the 2.0d8 driver got into the abort() routine in the first place, where 2.0d didn't. The abort in 2.0d is as buggy as in 2.0d8. So I want to have this problem solved and then release 2.0e into the kernel. I have heavily tested the driver on my box, so I don't expect any trouble from the command queueing changes. I'd like to ask everybody to test 2.0d10 and tell me, if there are old or new problems.=20 See http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/dc390/ for driver sources. Looking forward to reading your reports ... --=20 Kurt Garloff <garloff@suse.de> SuSE GmbH, N=FCrnberg, FRG Linux kernel development; SCSI driver: DC390 (tmscsim/AM53C974) --gatW/ieO32f1wygP Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3in iQCVAwUBN28+bRaQN/7O/JIVAQHZ1QQAi92RqnxoNx+ceRUI1ucX3q2r+G6W4gvx 9zJVI0T6WVoB3zf92NhoG1nLftKQYiRK1kJu4URev1PJexpUlJTDjzsW6V/eQwYY SOuAwoZJu1Dz3g0S6utEP4UfQfjG1zyN+Ud202tAL664zI2mkYPkbLv0JyqIQk/8 nO0I2JkUjF4= =dzLm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gatW/ieO32f1wygP-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
