Hallo,
between the Linux versions 2.6.8 and 2.6.14, anybody cleaned up
the code of `linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c'.
The Kernel 2.6.8 I refer to came with Debian Sarge.
$ ls -al linux-2.6.8-16s/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 seidl seidl 143292 May 19 2005 linux-2.6.8-16s/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c
$ ls -al linux-2.6.14.3/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 seidl seidl 74505 Nov 24 2005 linux-2.6.14.3/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c
A victim of the cleaning operation is the option `aic7xxx=reverse_scan'
which is still documented, but, which does no longer work. Here is some
output.
$ (cd linux-2.6.8-16s/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx && grep reverse_scan *)
aic79xx_osm.c:static uint32_t aic79xx_reverse_scan;
aic79xx_osm.c:" reverse_scan Sort PCI devices highest Bus/Slot
to lowest\n"
aic79xx_osm.c: if (aic79xx_reverse_scan != 0)
aic79xx_osm.c: if (aic79xx_reverse_scan != 0)
aic79xx_osm.c: { "reverse_scan", &aic79xx_reverse_scan },
aic7xxx_osm.c:static uint32_t aic7xxx_reverse_scan;
aic7xxx_osm.c:" reverse_scan Sort PCI devices highest Bus/Slot
to lowest\n"
aic7xxx_osm.c: if (aic7xxx_reverse_scan != 0)
aic7xxx_osm.c: if (aic7xxx_reverse_scan != 0)
aic7xxx_osm.c: { "reverse_scan", &aic7xxx_reverse_scan },
$ (cd linux-2.6.14.3/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx && grep reverse_scan *)
aic79xx_osm.c:static uint32_t aic79xx_reverse_scan;
aic79xx_osm.c:" reverse_scan Sort PCI devices highest Bus/Slot
to lowest\n"
aic79xx_osm.c: if (aic79xx_reverse_scan != 0)
aic79xx_osm.c: if (aic79xx_reverse_scan != 0)
aic79xx_osm.c: { "reverse_scan", &aic79xx_reverse_scan },
aic7xxx_osm.c:" reverse_scan Sort PCI devices highest Bus/Slot
to lowest\n"
Since `aic7xxx=reverse_scan' is part of my disaster recovery concept,
I would like to ask whether anybody has the resources to reactivate
this driver option as it was before ?
Kind regards,
Stephan Seidl
