The driver Yaroslav posted is `severely old' and is just our channel release driver for the 2120 with a printk added. It is effectively version 0.9.10dmb-29D, the `current' submitted to Alan is 1.1.2. Sounds like regression to me ... The one I provided recently as work-in-progress is a 1.1.2+ with sundry debug prints turned on. It has one notable bugfix (a panic resulted from an AIF transmission) over the one shipped to Alan that is pending. The remaining code changes are an investigation for an enhancement dealing with bringing a zero'd array on-line without the need for a reboot (or a echo scsi add-single-device ? ? ? ? > /proc/scsi/scsi).

I'm not sure how he got it, I can't find it on Adaptec's linux.adaptec.com web site. I *believe* this is what Deanna sent to Alan prior to her departure from Adaptec, and is what Alan claimed above to have pending. The diff between 2.4.x-BK-current and what is attached to the note above looks like: $ diffstat aacraid.patch Makefile | 1 aachba.c | 200 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- aacraid.h | 158 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- commctrl.c | 227 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- comminit.c | 37 ++++----- commsup.c | 47 ++++++------ compat.h | 114 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ dpcsup.c | 22 +++-- linit.c | 197 ++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------ 9 files changed, 718 insertions(+), 285 deletions(-) Ignoring all the whitespace changes made, you get: Makefile | 1 aachba.c | 102 +++++++++++++++++++-------- aacraid.h | 150 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- commctrl.c | 227 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- comminit.c | 37 ++++----- commsup.c | 43 ++++++----- compat.h | 114 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ dpcsup.c | 20 +++-- linit.c | 181 ++++++++++++++++++++---------------------------- 9 files changed, 654 insertions, 221 deletions I'll attach both patches (one with whitespace changes in it, one that ignores whitespace changes) if someone cares to decipher what changed and summarize it for us. One change I believe is in there fixes a bug with I/O requests that use memory > 4GB. I haven't run into that bug myself though, so I can't say for sure...
