The osst driver is becoming obsolete, as the manufacturer went out of business ages ago, and the maintainer has no means of testing any improvements anymore. Plus these days flash drives are cheaper and offer a higher capacity. So drop it completely. Cc: Willem Riede <osst@riede.org> Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinece <hare@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2019-02-27scsi: ufs-bsg: Allow reading descriptorsAvri Altman1-1/+6
Add this functionality, placing the descriptor being read in the actual data buffer in the bio. That is, for both read and write descriptors query upiu, we are using the job's request_payload. This in turn, is mapped back in user land to the applicable sg_io_v4 xferp: dout_xferp for write descriptor, and din_xferp for read descriptor.

2019-02-27scsi: ufs-bsg: Change the calling convention for write descriptorAvri Altman1-0/+6
When we had a write descriptor query upiu, we appended the descriptor right after the bsg request. This was fine as the bsg driver allows to allocate whatever buffer we needed in its job request. Still, the proper way to deliver payload, however small (we only write config descriptors of 144 bytes), is by using the job request payload data buffer. So change this ABI now, while ufs-bsg is still new, and nobody is actually using it.

2018-10-11scsi: ufs: Add a bsg endpoint that supports UPIUsAvri Altman1-0/+20
For now, just provide an API to allocate and remove ufs-bsg node. We will use this framework to manage ufs devices by sending UPIU transactions. For the time being, implements an empty bsg_request() - will add some more functionality in coming patches. Nonetheless, we reveal here the protocol we are planning to use: UFS Transport Protocol Transactions. UFS transactions consist of packets called UFS Protocol Information Units (UPIU). There are UPIU’s defined for UFS SCSI commands, responses, data in and data out, task management, utility functions, vendor functions, transaction synchronization and control, and more. By using UPIUs, we get access to the most fine-grained internals of this protocol, and able to communicate with the device in ways, that are sometimes beyond the capacity of the ufs driver. Moreover and as a result, our core structure - ufs_bsg_node has a pretty lean structure: using upiu transactions that contains the outmost detailed info, so we don't really need complex constructs to support it.

2018-09-10Drop all 00-INDEX files from Documentation/Henrik Austad1-108/+0
This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned) and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox. The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers) A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps it is time to just throw them out. A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.

I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX, but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not if we just want to delete them anyway.

2016-06-09scsi: fix race between simultaneous decrements of ->host_failedWei Fang1-2/+6
sas_ata_strategy_handler() adds the works of the ata error handler to system_unbound_wq. This workqueue asynchronously runs work items, so the ata error handler will be performed concurrently on different CPUs. In this case, ->host_failed will be decreased simultaneously in scsi_eh_finish_cmd() on different CPUs, and become abnormal. It will lead to permanently inequality between ->host_failed and ->host_busy, and scsi error handler thread won't start running. IO errors after that won't be handled. Since all scmds must have been handled in the strategy handler, just remove the decrement in scsi_eh_finish_cmd() and zero ->host_busy after the strategy handler to fix this race.

Pull Documentation updates from Jon Corbet: "A bit busier this time around. The most interesting thing (IMO) this time around is some beginning infrastructural work to allow documents to be written using restructured text. Maybe someday, in a galaxy far far away, we'll be able to eliminate the DocBook dependency and have a much better integrated set of kernel docs. Someday. Beyond that, there's a new document on security hardening from Kees, the movement of some sample code over to samples/, a number of improvements to the serial docs from Geert, and the usual collection of corrections, typo fixes, etc" * tag 'docs-for-linus' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (55 commits) doc: self-protection: provide initial details serial: doc: Use port->state instead of info serial: doc: Always refer to tty_port->mutex Documentation: vm: Spelling s/paltform/platform/g Documentation/memcg: update kmem limit doc as codes behavior docproc: print a comment about autogeneration for rst output docproc: add support for reStructuredText format via --rst option docproc: abstract terminating lines at first space docproc: abstract docproc directive detection docproc: reduce unnecessary indentation docproc: add variables for subcommand and filename kernel-doc: use rst C domain directives and references for types kernel-doc: produce RestructuredText output kernel-doc: rewrite usage description, remove duplicated comments Doc: correct the location of sysrq.c Documentation: fix common spelling mistakes samples: v4l: from Documentation to samples directory samples: connector: from Documentation to samples directory Documentation: xillybus: fix spelling mistake Documentation: x86: fix spelling mistakes ...

2016-02-24st: Fix MTMKPART to work with newer drivesKai Makisara1-5/+10
Change the MTMKPART operation of the MTIOCTOP ioctl so that it works also with current drives (LTO-5/6, etc.). Send a separate FORMAT MEDIUM command if the partition mode page indicates that this is required. Use LOAD to position the tape at the beginning of tape. The operation is extended so that if the argument is negative, its absolute value specifies the size of partition 0, which is the physically first partition of the tape.
