I have updated my patches to work against 2.3.22, and these should =
be up on http://www.andante.org/scsi_queue.html. I have also finished =
dealing with the single_lun case, which was the only outstanding outage =
that I am aware of.
FWIW, I have tested it more extensively on my test system, and it =
seemed to stand up, at least until one of the disks that I was using for =
testing purposes died. The previous problems that I was having with =
the aic7xxx driver went away when I switched to a newer Adaptec card - =
for some reason the interrupt line was getting stuck on with the old =
card, and I need to stay focussed on getting these patches shepherded =
into the distribution kernel.
The testing that I have done with the live system was on 2.3.17 - I =
am getting bitten by an inability to assemble bootsect.s with 2.3.22 =
(.org directive moves IP backwards), and I need to browse linux-kernel =
to figure out what got broken and how to fix it.
My thinking is that I would like to submit this into the main =
distribution kernel within the next two weeks or so, barring any =
problems or strong objections. Given that it is possible for people to =
select the old queueing code at kernel config time, the main objective =
is to make it easier for people to test, and to reduce the number of =
stupid merge conflicts that I have to deal with.
