Hi James and all I am sending five patches. Some are inspired from mvsas patchset, thanks for that. 1/5 : Fix for sata io circular lock dependency. 2/5 : enhance error handle for io patch, when the port is down ,fast return phy down for it. 3/5 :fix endian issues 4/5 : This patch does a couple of very small, mostly single line changes which I feel will be an overkill to put in individual patches. 1) delete unnecessary cast. 2) fix potential NULL pointer dereference. 3) bit set pm8001_ha->flags 4) cleanup 5) local sata do not reset as it will not be found if reset. 5/5 :set SSC down-spreading only to get less error on some 6G device. The patch was built on the latest scsi-misc-2.6.git tree I request that these patches be applied to the next release Thanks Jack -- 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
