      [SCSI] MODULE_FIRMWARE for binary firmware(s) · 187afbed
      Jon Masters authored 
      Right now, various kernel modules are being migrated over to use
request_firmware in order to pull in binary firmware blobs from userland
when the module is loaded. This makes sense.

However, there is right now little mechanism in place to automatically
determine which binary firmware blobs must be included with a kernel in
order to satisfy the prerequisites of these drivers. This affects
vendors, but also regular users to a certain extent too.

The attached patch introduces MODULE_FIRMWARE as a mechanism for
advertising that a particular firmware file is to be loaded - it will
then show up via modinfo and could be used e.g. when packaging a kernel.

  o aic94xx: remove various inline functions
  o aic94xx: use bitops
  o aic94xx: remove queue comment
  o aic94xx: remove sas_common.c
  o aic94xx: sas remove depot's
  o aic94xx: use available list_for_each_entry_safe_reverse()
  o aic94xx: sas header file merge

James Bottomley:
  o aic94xx: fix TF_TMF_NO_CTX processing
  o aic94xx: convert to request_firmware interface
  o aic94xx: fix hotplug/unplug
  o aic94xx: add link error counts to the expander phys
  o aic94xx: add transport class phy reset capability
  o aic94xx: remove local_attached flag
  o Remove README
  o Fixup Makefile variable for libsas rename
  o Rename sas->libsas
  o aic94xx: correct return code for sas_discover_event
  o aic94xx: use parent backlink port
  o aic94xx: remove channel abstraction
  o aic94xx: fix routing algorithms
  o aic94xx: add backlink port
  o aic94xx: fix cascaded expander properties
  o aic94xx: fix sleep under lock
  o aic94xx: fix panic on module removal in complex topology
  o aic94xx: make use of the new sas_port
  o rename sas_port to asd_sas_port
  o Fix for eh_strategy_handler move
  o aic94xx: move entirely over to correct transport class formulation
  o remove last vestages of sas_rphy_alloc()
  o update for eh_timed_out move
  o Preliminary expander support for aic94xx
  o sas: remove event thread
  o minor warning cleanups
  o remove last vestiges of id mapping arrays
  o Further updates
  o Convert aic94xx over entirely to the transport class end device and
  o update aic94xx/sas to use the new sas transport class end device
  o [PATCH] aic94xx: attaching to the sas transport class
  o Add missing completion removal from prior patch
  o [PATCH] aic94xx: attaching to the sas transport class
  o Build fixes from akpm

Jeff Garzik:
  o [scsi aic94xx] Remove ->owner from PCI info table

Luben Tuikov:
  o initial aic94xx driver

      [SCSI] scsi_transport_sas: remove local_attached flag · f4ad7b58
      James Bottomley authored 
      This flag denotes local attachment of the phy.  There are two problems
with it:

1) It's actually redundant ... you can get the same information simply
by seeing whether a host is the phys parent
2) we condition a lot of phy parameters on it on the false assumption
that we can only control local phys.  I'm wiring up phy resets in the
aic94xx now, and it will be able to reset non-local phys as well.

I fixed 2) by moving the local check into the reset and stats function
of the mptsas, since that seems to be the only HBA that can't
(currently) control non-local phys.
