James, please consider these patches for inclusion in 2.6.29 or 2.6.30. Patches 1 - 5 fix bugs found when auditing the error paths of sym53c8xx during module load and unload. These 5 patches must be applied in the order given, since they touch the same areas of the same file. Patches 6 and 7 fix other problems and annoyances, and can be applied in any order. In addition, here are some related patches by other people that I would like applied: The following patch fixes handling of errors that occur after scsi_host_alloc() during modprobe sym53c8xx. I actually came up with the same fix myself when auditing sym53c8xx, but a search of linux-scsi showed that someone else had already gotten there first. [PATCH] SCSI: fix /proc memory leak in the SCSI core http://marc.info/?t=122814541000002&r=1&w=4 The following patch was posted a year ago but forgotten. I have been using it for a long time, and it still applies cleanly. sym53c8xx ISTAT1 feature never set http://marc.info/?t=120076464500006&r=1&w=4 And of course there are the recent patches by Aaro Koskinen: Tested with my approval (be sure to use the updated version): [PATCH] sym53c8xx_2: slave_alloc/destroy safety (2.6.27.5) http://marc.info/?t=122710678100001&r=1&w=4 Tested with my approval: [PATCH] sym53c8xx_2: lun to_clear flag not re-initialized (2.6.27.5) http://marc.info/?t=122710178300003&r=1&w=4 This one however still needs some work (as of this writing): [PATCH] sym53c8xx_2: Keep transfer negotiations valid (2.6.27.5) http://marc.info/?t=122710118300005&r=1&w=4 Thanks, Tony Battersby Cybernetics -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
