The I2O ioctls assume 32bits. In itself that is fine as they are old cards and nobody uses 64bit. However on LKML it was noted this assumption is also made for allocated memory and is unsafe on 64bit systems. Fixing this is a mess. It turns out there is tons of crap buried in a header file that does racy 32/64bit filtering on the masks. So we: - Verify all callers of the racy code can sleep (i2o_dma_[re]alloc) - Move the code into a new i2o/memory.c file - Remove the gfp_mask argument so nobody can try and misuse the function - Wrap a mutex around the problem area (a single mutex is easy to do and none of this is performance relevant) - Switch the remaining problem kmalloc holdout to use i2o_dma_alloc Cc: Markus Lidel <Markus.Lidel@shadowconnect.com> Cc: Vasily Averin <vvs@sw.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

STATUS:
o The core setup works within limits.
o The scsi layer seems to almost work.
I'm still chasing down the hang bug.
o The block OSM is mostly functional
o LAN OSM works with FDDI and Ethernet cards.
TO DO:
General:
o Provide hidden address space if asked
o Long term message flow control
o PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet
o Push FAIL handling into the core
o DDM control interfaces for module load etc
o Add I2O 2.0 support (Deffered to 2.5 kernel)
Block:
o Multiple major numbers
o Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people
o Power management
o Finish Media changers
SCSI:
o Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses
Lan:
o Performance tuning
o Test Fibre Channel code
Tape:
o Anyone seen anything implementing this ?
(D.S: Will attempt to do so if spare cycles permit)
