Hello Vladimir!
Here is a patch set for ehca device driver with the following changes:
* Fix yield with spinlock held (this has been queued for 2.6.20)
* Fix mismatched unlock in irq handler (this has been queued for 2.6.20)
* Remove mmap (this has been queued for 2.6.21)
* Remove obsolete prototypes (this has been queued for 2.6.21)
* Backport for 2.6.16, 2.6.16sles10, 2.6.18, 2.6.18_FC6 (RHEL5)
With those patches we are able to support the following platforms:
* 2.6.20, 2.6.19, 2.6.18, RHEL5, 2.6.16, SLES10
Thanks
Nam
PS1: The first two patches are actually not required since ofed-1.2
is based on 2.6.20. Since I did not see them in daily build yesterday
I'm sending here for completeness.
PS2: For backport on 2.6.16 resp. SLES10 I saw that there is a
hvcall.h under backport/2.6.16/include/linux. However that one
is not sufficient for ehca and include/linux is the wrong place.
Hence, I'm patching a new one under include/asm. If I'm right,
please remove include/linux/hvcall.h!
