Quite a bit of this is fixing things broken previously (the advansys fix
is still pending resolution, but I'll send it as an -rc fix when we have
it). There's the final elimination of all drivers that are esp based
but don't use the scsi_esp core (that's mostly m68k and alpha). Plus
the usual bunch of driver updates and the addition of a new enclosure
services driver and the corresponding ULD.
The patch is available from:
I'm going to guess that this is the entry in feature-removal.txt
that need an update then:
---------------------------
What: old NCR53C9x driver
When: October 2007
Why: Replaced by the much better esp_scsi driver. Actual low-level
driver can be ported over almost trivially.
Who: David Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
Not immediately ... I anticipate a few "where'd my driver go?" type
questions from m68k for which this provides a useful reference to point
to ...
Don't bother, we're fully aware of this.
The shortest feature removal notice in Linux's history (is it?) didn't go
unnoticed ;-)
I don't know where you get that from. The notice went in on 30 April
2007 and we gave you six months to convert the drivers, hence the
October 2007 date for when the deletion will actually be done. I've
actually delayed removal until February 2007 giving you a further three
months. Even then I only removed the drivers because they no longer
compile.
I think nine months isn't unreasonable for a feature removal ... unless
you work on a different time scale from me?
