[PATCH 0 of 18] [RFC] ipath - almost-final round of patches for submission
- From: Bryan O'Sullivan <bos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 16:04:53 -0800
This is another round of ipath driver patches for review. I believe
the driver is almost ready for submission. We have addressed all prior
feedback that I am aware of.
Major changes since the last round of review comments:
- Layered drivers now do the right thing when the underlying devices
get hotplugged.
- The memory leak that Linus, Hugh, and others have been so helpful with
during the past week is fixed; we now use remap_pfn_range instead of a
nopage handler.
- There are no longer any binary or multiple-valued files in sysfs.
Instead, we've added an ipathfs filesystem for that stuff.
There are two things left to do:
- ipath_rc.c contains some enormous functions that we are in the
process of breaking up into more digestible chunks.
- The ipathfs filesystem doesn't handle hotplugged devices.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. If the
current code looks OK, I expect to make a final submission for 2.6.17
in a day or two, once we have the above two items completed.
