In 2.6.14rc3: linux/drivers/scsi> grep -c BROKEN Kconfig 11 There are a lot of SCSI drivers who have been marked BROKEN forever. Or at least for all of 2.6 and one would expect if there are users left they would have fixed them by now. Would it make sense to remove them? In particular: SCSI_ADVANSYS - vendor went out of market afaik. Probably not many left. SCSI_CPQFCTS - suboption of another driver, incredibly ugly code defying all coding standards. SCSI_EATA_PIO - really old ISA cards. Probably all left over cards are way over their MTBF by now. SCSI_SEAGATE - extremly scary code, i doubt there is any such card left SCSI_MCA_53C9X - BROKEN_ON_SMP only. Ok I guess there are no SMP Micro Channel systems. SCSI_QLOGIC_ISP - afaik there is a newer driver for this SCSI_AMIGA7XX - no maintainer, broken forever ATARI_SCSI - no maintainer, broken forever MVME16x_SCSI - no maintainer, broken forever BVME6000_SCSI - same SUN3_SCSI - sun3 never worked in mainline anyways I think they could all go except perhaps the MCA driver. Or at least added to Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt and then removed in a few months. -Andi - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
