2013-12-19[SCSI] aci7xxx_old: delete decade+ obsolete driverPaul Gortmaker
After getting warnings in an allyesconfig build[1] from this driver, I decided to remind myself just how old it was, and whether it warranted fixing. In the Kconfig help text, I found: "This driver will eventually be phased out entirely" Going back to the history archive, I see the line was added[2] in Feb 2002, when we moved from v2.4.2.1 ---> v2.4.2.2 So, with over a decade of notification, and multiple major releases since then, I think we can justify removing this. Currently we have people wasting time building it during routine testing, and then wasting more time re-researching the known reported warnings, only to find that nobody really is willing to integrate the fixes[3] for it. A quick search didn't seem to indicate any active user base for it. If someone happens to have a quirky _old_ card that the eleven year old "new" driver doesn't work with, then it is entirely reasonable that they stick with a kernel version that predates this removal.

2012-09-14[SCSI] st: raise device limitJeff Mahoney
The device limit of 128 tape drives was established in 2003 as a significant increase from the 8 tape drives allowed previously. We're seeing customer sites that between a large number of drives and multipath are discovering more than 128 devices and running into problems. Now that we're not stuck having to store a pointer in array and aren't limited by kmalloc failing on higher order allocs we can lift the limit to fill the entire minor range based on the number of modes. Based on the current code, that's 2^17 devices.

2012-05-23Merge branch 'delete-mca' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker: "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than 64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware. So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it; wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git grep'ping over it, and so on." Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory* there may be users out there. But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't argue for keeping MCA support either. So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61ad3: "drivers/net: delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA"). * 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux: MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support. scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support. arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA
2012-05-17scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver codePaul Gortmaker
The support for CONFIG_MCA is being removed, since the 20 year old hardware simply isn't capable of meeting today's software demands on CPU and memory resources. This commit removes the MCA specific SCSI drivers, and the MCA specific portions of code in dual role ISA/MCA drivers. Also, the MCA specific SCSI documentation is removed.

2012-03-27[SCSI] st: expand ability to write immediate filemarksLee Duncan
The st tape driver recently added the MTWEOFI ioctl, which writes a tape filemark (EOF), like the MTWEOF ioctl, except that MTWEOFI returns immediately. This makes certain applications, like backup software, run much more quickly on buffered tape drives. Since legacy applications do not know about this new MTWEOFI ioctl, this patch adds a new ioctl option that tells the st driver to return immediately when writing an EOF (i.e. a filemark). This new flag is much like the existing flag that tells the st driver to perform writes (and certain other IOs) immediately, but this new flag only applies to writing EOFs. This new feature is controlled via the MTSETDRVBUFFER ioctl, using the newly-defined MT_ST_NOWAIT_EOF flag. Use of this new feature is displayed via the sysfs tape "options" attribute. The st documentation was updated to mention this new flag, as well as the problems that can occur from using it.
