Version 1.0.1 (not yet released)
-------------
Changes:
- Performance has been improved. I/O requests are now handled in soft IRQ
context instead of on a separate thread, which drastically reduces the
number of context switches needed for processing I/O (r594).
- Added support for building SCST-SRPT against the OFED InfiniBand drivers
(r814:838).
- Compiles now without further patches on RHEL 5.x / CentOS 5.x systems (r638).
- Compiles now against 2.6.26 and later kernels (r516).
- Fixed incorrect SCST state used on error path (r557).
- Fixed memory leak triggered by rejecting SRP login requests (r800).
- Fixed kernel oops triggered by reception of an asynchronous InfiniBand event.
Asynchronous events are triggered by e.g. resetting an InfiniBand switch or
reconnecting an InfiniBand cable (r878:880). The call stack of the oops is
as follows:
queue_work+0x1a/0x20
schedule_work+0x16/0x20
srpt_event_handler+0xda/0xe0 [ib_srpt]
ib_dispatch_event+0x39/0x70 [ib_core]
mlx4_ib_process_mad+0x3e6/0x430 [mlx4_ib]
ib_post_send_mad+0x374/0x6f0 [ib_mad]
? futex_wake+0x105/0x120
ib_umad_write+0x4a8/0x5c0 [ib_umad]
vfs_write+0xcb/0x170
sys_write+0x50/0x90
system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
- The login information for HCA's with more than two ports is now displayed
correctly. Note: no such devices exist yet (r799).
Version 1.0.0 (released on July 14, 2008)
-------------
Almost identical to trunk r440 (only the variables SCST_DIR and EXTRA_CFLAGS
in the Makefiles are different from trunk r440).
