The following changes are stored on the 'mvsas-split' branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/misc-2.6.git The submission of Marvell's mvsas driver update was done in an opaque way, that makes it difficult to see what kinds of changes were applied to the driver: drivers/scsi/mvsas.c is deleted, and a new driver with lots of new code is created inside drivers/scsi/mvsas/ If James will permit, I would suggest REPLACING the scsi-misc-2.6.git commit from Marvell, 2142d072d858912dfc17e173d8ba66eb60a31c6c, with the following three commits I have created: 1) Move drivers/scsi/mvsas.c to drivers/scsi/mvsas/mv_sas.c _Zero_ code changes, just file movement. Driver compiles and works correctly. 2) Split up functions in mv_sas.c into component files mv_sas.[ch], mv_init.c, mv_64xx.[ch], mv_chips.h, mv_defs.h. _Zero_ functional code changes, just code movement. Driver compiles and works correctly. 3) Apply Marvell's changes. _Zero_ changes from Marvell's commit. I did not attempt to fix any bugs or address other issues; I merely copied Marvell's submitted (and accepted) code on top of my new commit #1 and #2. Driver compiles and works correctly. The goal of my changes here is to greatly ease the strain of reviewing such a large submission of code. I have not done an exhaustive comparison of intra-function code blocks; the best I did was ensure that definitions and functions that existed before Marvell's commit remained in the same order after Marvell's commit. These changes were created on top of commit 1bfe9caaff367601134c14fc428017419f628f7d Author: James Smart <James.Smart@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 26 13:33:19 2009 -0400 [SCSI] FC Pass Thru support I strongly recommend pulling the above branch, rather than applying the patches presented, to preserve full git metadata in the face of a file move. -- 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
