Arjan van de Ven 00977a59b9 [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 6
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Matthew Wilcox 4ff36718ed [SCSI] Improve inquiry printing
- Replace scsi_device_types array API with scsi_device_type function API.
   Gets rid of a lot of common code, as well as being easier to use.
 - Add the new device types in SPC4 r05a, and rename some of the older ones.
 - Reformat the printing of inquiry data; now fits on one line and
   includes PQ.

I think I've addressed all the feedback from the previous versions.  My
current test box prints:

scsi 2:0:1:0: Direct access     HP 18.2G ATLAS10K3_18_SCA HP05 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

James Bottomley 2ca48a1321 [SCSI] fix proc_scsi_write to return "length" on success with remove-single-device case
Problem spotted by: Suzuki K P <suzuki@in.ibm.com>

A zero return on success isn't correct for filesystem write functions.
They should either return negative error or the length of bytes
consumed.  Add code to convert our zero on success error return to
return the length of bytes passed in.

This fixes the following:

$ echo "scsi remove-single-device 0 0 3 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
bash: echo: write error: No such device or address"

Christoph Hellwig e02f3f5922 [SCSI] remove target parent limitiation
When James Smart fixed the issue of the userspace scan atributes
crashing the system with the FC transport class he added a patch to
let the transport class check if the parent is valid for a given
transport class.

When adding support for the integrated raid of fusion sas devices
we ran into a problem with that, as it didn't allow adding virtual
raid volumes without the transport class knowing about it.

So this patch adds a user_scan attribute instead, that takes over from
scsi_scan_host_selected if the transport class sets it and thus lets
the transport class control the user-initiated scanning.  As this
plugs the hole about user-initiated scanning the target_parent hook
goes away and we rely on callers of the scanning routines to do
something sensible.

For SAS this meant I had to switch from a spinlock to a mutex to
synchronize the topology linked lists, in FC they were completely
unsynchronized which seems wrong.

Arjan van de Ven 0b95067238 [SCSI] turn most scsi semaphores into mutexes
the scsi layer is using semaphores in a mutex way, this patch converts
these into using mutexes instead

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
