Changes from 20050323 to 20050413

        * Changed version number to 8.0.28
        * Fixed build warning for 2.6.12-rc2 kernels: mempool_alloc now
          requires a function which takes an unsigned int for gfp_flags.
        * Removed pci dma sync calls to coherent/consistent pci memory.
        * Merged patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>: split helpers
          for fabric and nport logins out of lpfc_cmpl_els_flogi.
        * Removed sysfs attributes that are used to dump the various
          discovery lists.
        * Fix for issue where not all luns are seen.  Search all lists
          other than unmap list in lpfc_find_target().  Otherwise INQUIRY
          to luns on nodes in NPR or other relevant states (PLOGI,
          PRLI...) are errored back and scan() terminates.
        * Removed FC_TRANSPORT_PATCHESxxx defines.  They're in 2.6.12-rc1.
        * Compare return value of lpfc_scsi_tgt_reset against SCSI
          midlayer codes SUCCESS/FAILED which that function returns rather
          than SLI return code.
        * Removed extraneous calls to lpfc_sli_next_iotag which should
          only be called from lpfc_sli_submit_iocb.  Also make
          lpfc_sli_next_iotag static.
        * Added PCI ID for LP10000-S.
        * Changes in lpfc_abort_handler(): Return SUCCESS if we did not
          find command in both TX and TX completion queues.  Return ERROR
          if we timed out waiting for command to complete after abort was
          issued.
        * Zero-out response sense length in lpfc_scsi_prep_cmnd to prevent
          interpretation of stale sense length when the command completes
          - was causing spurious 0710 messages.
        * Moved clearing of host_scribble inside host_lock in IO
          completion path.
        * Fixed a bunch of mixed tab/space indentation.
        * Allow hex format numbers in sysfs attribute setting.  Fix
          application hang when invalid numbers are used in sysfs
          settings.
        * Removed extra iotag allocation by lpfc_abort_handler.
        * Clear host_scribble in the scsi_cmnd structure when failing in
          queuecommand.
        * Changed logic at top of lpfc_abort_handler so that if the
          command's host_scibble field is NULL, return SUCCESS because the
          driver has already returned the command to the midlayer.

Changes from 20050308 to 20050323

        * Changed version number to 8.0.27
        * Changed a few lines from patch submitted by Christoph Hellwig
          (3/19). MAILBOX_WSIZE * (uint32_t) is replaced with an
          equivalent MAILBOX_CMDSIZE macro.
        * Merged patch from Christoph Hellwig (3/19): some misc patches
          against the latest drivers:
          - stop using volatile.  if you need special ordering use memory
            barriers but that doesn't seem to be the case here
          - switch lpfc_sli_pcimem_bcopy to take void * arguments.
          - remove typecast for constants - a U postfix marks them
            unsigned int in C
          - add a MAILBOX_CMD_SIZE macro, as most users of
            MAILBOX_CMD_WSIZE didn't really want the word count
          - kill struct lpfc_scsi_dma_buf and embedded the two members
            directly in struct lpfc_scsi_buf
          - don't call dma_sync function on allocations from
            pci_pool_alloc - it's only for streaming mappings (pci_map_*)
        * Merged patch from Christoph Hellwig (3/19) - nlp_failMask isn't
          ever used by the driver, just reported to userspace (and that in
          a multi-value file which is against the sysfs guidelines).
        * Change pci_module_init to pci_register_module() with appropriate
          ifdefs.
        * Added #include <linux/dma-mapping.h> as required by the DMA
          32bit and 64bit defines on some archs.
        * Merged patch from Christoph Hellwig (03/19) - fix initialization
          order - scsi_add_host must happen last from scsi POV. Also some
          minor style/comment fixups.
        * Fixed use of TRANSPORT_PATCHES_V2 by changing to
          FC_TRANSPORT_PATCHES_V2.

Changes from 20050223 to 20050308

        * Changed version number to 8.0.26
        * Revise TRANSPORT_PATCHES_V2 so that lpfc_target is removed and
          rport data is used instead. Removed device_queue_hash[].
        * Changed RW attributes of scan_down, max_luns and fcp_bind_method
          to R only.
        * Fixed RSCN handling during initial link initialization.
        * Fixed issue with receiving PLOGI handling when node is on NPR
          list and marked for ADISC.
        * Fixed RSCN timeout issues.
        * Reduced severity of "SCSI layer issued abort device" message to
          KERN_WARNING.
        * Feedback from Christoph Hellwig (on 2/5) - In the LPFC_EVT_SCAN
          case the caller already has the target ID handly, so pass that
          one in evt_arg1.
        * Fix compile warning/resultant panic in
          lpfc_register_remote_port().

Changes from 20050215 to 20050223

        * Changed version number to 8.0.25
        * Add appropriate comments to lpfc_sli.c.
        * Use DMA_64BIT_MASK and DMA_32BIT_MASK defines instead of
          0xffffffffffffffffULL & 0xffffffffULL respectively.  Use pci
          equivalents instead of dma_set_mask and also modify condition
          clause to actually exit on error condition.
        * Restart els timeout handler only if txcmplq_cnt. On submission,
          mod_timer the els_tmofunc.  This prevents the worker thread from
          waking up the els_tmo handler un-necessarily.  The thread was
          being woken up even when there were no pending els commands.
        * Added new typedefs for abort and reset functions.
        * Collapsed lpfc_sli_abort_iocb_xxx into a single function.
        * Collapsed lpfc_sli_sum_iocb_xxx into a single function.
        * Removed TXQ from all abort and reset handlers since it is never
          used.
        * Fixed Oops panic in 8.0.23 (reported on SourceForge).  The
          driver was not handling LPFC_IO_POLL cases correctly in
          fast_ring_event and was setting the tgt_reset timeout to 0 in
          lpfc_reset_bus_handler.  This 0 timeout would not allow the FW
          to timeout ABTS's on bad targets and allow the driver to have an
          iocb on two lists.  Also split the lpfc_sli_ringtxcmpl_get
          function into two routines to match the fast and slow completion
          semantics - ELS completions worked for the wrong reasons.  Also
          provided new log message number - had two 0326 entries.
        * Removed unused #define LPFC_SCSI_INITIAL_BPL_SIZE.
        * Removed unused struct lpfc_node_farp_pend definition.
        * Removed unused #define LPFC_SLIM2_PAGE_AREA.
        * Changed zeros used as pointers to NULL.
        * Removed unneeded braces around single line in lpfc_do_work.
        * Close humongous memory leak in lpfc_sli.c - driver was losing 13
          iocbq structures per LIP.
        * Removed last of GFP_ATOMIC allocations.
        * Locks are not taken outside of nportdisc, hbadisc, els and most
          of the init, sli, mbox and ct groups of functions
        * Fix comment for lpfc_sli_iocb_cmd_type to fit within 80 columns.
        * Replaced wait_event() with wait_event_interruptible().
          wait_event() puts the woker thread in an UNINTERRUPTIBLE state
          causing it to figure in load average calculations. Also add a
          BUG_ON to the ret code of wait_event_interruptible() since the
          premise is that the worker thread is signal-immune.

Changes from 20050208 to 20050215

        * Changed version number to 8.0.24
        * Fixed a memory leak of iocbq structure.  For ELS solicited iocbs
          sli layer now frees the response iocbs after processing it.
        * Closed large memory leak -- we were losing 13 iocbq structures
          per LIP.
        * Changing EIO and ENOMEM to -EIO and -ENOMEM respectively.
        * Cleanup of lpfc_sli_iocb_cmd_type array and typing of iocb type.
        * Implemented Christoph Hellwig's feedback from 02/05: Remove
          macros putLunHigh, putLunLow. Use lpfc_put_lun() inline instead.
        * Integrated Christoph Hellwig's feedback from 02/05: Instead of
          cpu_to_be32(), use swab16((uint16_t)lun). This is the same as
          "swab16() on LE" and "<<16 on BE".
        * Added updates for revised FC remote port patch (dev_loss_tmo
          moved to rport, hostdata renamed dd_data, add fc_remote_host()
          on shutdown).
        * Removed unnecessary function prototype.
        * Added code to prevent waking up worker thread after the exit of
          worker thread.  Fixes panic seen with insmod/rmmod testing with
          70 disks.
        * Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: Make some
          variables/code static (namely lpfcAlpaArray and
          process_nodev_timeout()).
        * Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: Use
          switch...case instead of if...else if...else if while decoding
          JDEC id.

Changes from 20050201 to 20050208

        * Changed version number to 8.0.23
        * Make lpfc_work_done, lpfc_get_scsi_buf,
          lpfc_mbx_process_link_up, lpfc_mbx_issue_link_down and
          lpfc_sli_chipset_init static.
        * Cleaned up references to list_head->next field in the driver.
        * Replaced lpfc_discq_post_event with lpfc_workq_post_event.
        * Implmented Christoph Hellwig's review from 2/5: Check for return
          values of kmalloc.
        * Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: Protecting
          scan_tmo and friends in !FC_TRANSPORT_PATCHES_V2 &&
          !USE_SCAN_TARGET.
        * Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: Some fixes in
          the evt handling area.
        * Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: Remove usage of
          intr_inited variable. The interrupt initilization from OS side
          now happens in lpfc_probe_one().
        * Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: remove shim
          lpfc_alloc_transport_attr - remove shim lpfc_alloc_shost_attrs -
          remove shim lpfc_scsi_host_init - allocate phba mem in scsi's
          hostdata readjust code so that they are no use after free's
          (don't use after scsi_host_put) - make lpfc_alloc_sysfs_attr
          return errors
        * Fixed panic in lpfc_probe_one(). Do not delete in a list
          iterator that is not safe.
        * Clean up fast lookup array of the fcp_ring when aborting iocbs.
        * Following timeout handlers moved to the lpfc worker thread:
          lpfc_disc_timeout, lpfc_els_timeout, lpfc_mbox, lpfc_fdmi_tmo,
          lpfc_nodev_timeout, lpfc_els_retry_delay.
        * Removed unused NLP_NS_NODE #define.
        * Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch from 1/30: remove unused
          lpfc_hba_list; remove unused lpfc_rdrev_wd30; remove
          lpfc_get_brd_no and use Linux provided IDR.
        * Changed board reset procedure so that lpfc_sli_send_reset()
          writes the INITFF bit and leaves lpfc_sli_brdreset() to clear
          the bit.
        * Removed outfcpio sysfs device attribute.
        * VPD changes: 1) Modify driver to use the model name and
          description from the VPD data if it exists 2) Rework use of DUMP
          mailbox command to support HBAs with 256 bytes of SLIM.
        * Fixed compile error for implicit definition of struct
          scsi_target

Changes from 20050124 to 20050201

        * Changed version number to 8.0.22
        * Moved discovery timeout handler to worker thread. There are
          function calls in this function which are not safe to call from
          HW interrupt context.
        * Removed free_irq from the error path of HBA initialization.
          This will fix the free of uninitialised IRQ when config_port
          fails.
        * Make sure function which processes unsolicited IOCBs on ELS ring
          still is called with the lock held.
        * Clear LA bit from work_ha when we are not supposed to handle LA.
        * Fix double locking bug in the error handling part of
          lpfc_mbx_cmpl_read_la.
        * Implemented fast IOCB processing for FCP ring.
        * Since mboxes are now unconditionally allocated outside of the
          lock, free them in cases where they are not used.
        * Moved out a couple of GFP_ATOMICs in lpfc_disc_timeout, to
          before locks so that they can GFP_KERNEL instead. Also cleaned
          up code.
        * Collapsed interrupt handling code into one function.
        * Removed event posting and handling of solicited and unsolicited
          iocbs.
        * Remove ELS ring handling leftovers from the lpfc_sli_inter().
        * ELS ring (any slow ring) moved from the lpfc_sli_inter() into a
          worker thread.  Link Attention, Mbox Attention, and Error
          Attention, as well as slow rings' attention is passed to the
          worker thread via worker thread copy of Host Attention
          register. Corresponding events are removed from the event queue
          handling.
        * Add entries to hba structure to delegate some functionality from
          the lpfc_sli_inter() to a worker thread.
        * Reduced used of GFP_ATOMIC for memory allocations.
        * Moved locks deeper in order to change GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_KERNEL.
        * IOCB initialization fix for Raw IO.
        * Removed qcmdcnt, iodonecnt, errcnt from lpfc_target and from
          driver.
        * Added call to lpfc_els_abort in lpfc_free_node.  Modified
          lpfc_els_abort to reset txq and txcmplq iterator after a
          iocb_cmpl call.
        * Fixed a use after free issue in lpfc_init.c.
        * Defined default mailbox completion routine and removed code in
          the sli layer which checks the mbox_cmpl == 0 to free mail box
          resources.
        * In lpfc_workq_post_event, clean up comment formatting and remove
          unneeded cast of kmalloc's return.
        * Removed loop which calls fc_remote_port_unblock and
          fc_remote_port_delete for every target as this same effect is
          accomplished by the scsi_remove_host call.
        * Minor cleanup of header files.  Stop header files including
          other header files.  Removed sentinels which hide multiple
          inclusions.  Removed unneeded #include directives.
        * Fixed memory leaks in mailbox error paths.
        * Moved lock from around of lpfc_work_done to lpfc_work_done
          itself.
        * Removed typedef for LPFC_WORK_EVT_t and left just struct
          lpfc_work_evt to comply with linux_scsi review coding style.
        * Fixed some trailing whitespaces, spaces used for indentation and
          ill-formatting multiline comments.
        * Bug fix for Raw IO errors.  Reuse of IOCBs now mandates setting
          of ulpPU and fcpi_parm to avoid incorrect read check of Write IO
          and incorrect read length.

Changes from 20050110 to 20050124

        * Changed version number to 8.0.21
        * Removed unpleasant casting in the definition and use of
          lpfc_disc_action function pointer array.
        * Makefile cleanup.  Use ?= operator for setting default
          KERNELVERSION and BASEINCLUDE values.  Use $(PWD) consistently.
        * Removed call to lpfc_sli_intr from lpfc_config_port_post.  All
          Linux systems will service hardware interrupts while bringing up
          the driver.
        * Christoph Hellwig change request: Reorg of contents of
          lpfc_hbadisc.c, lpfc_scsi.h, lpfc_init.c, lpfc_sli.c,
          lpfc_attr.c, lpfc_scsi.c.
        * Renamed discovery thread to lpfc_worker thread.  Moved handling
          of error attention and link attention and mbox event handler to
          lpfc_worker thread.
        * Removed .proc_info and .proc_name from the driver template and
          associated code.
        * Removed check of FC_UNLOADING flag in lpfc_queuecommand to
          determine what result to return.
        * Move modification of FC_UNLOADING flag under host_lock.
        * Fix IOERR_RCV_BUFFER_WAITING handling for CT and ELS subsystem.
        * Workaround firmware bug for IOERR_RCV_BUFFER_WAITING on ELS
          ring.
        * Fixed a couple lpfc_post_buffer problems in lpfc_init.c.
        * Add missing spaces to the parameter descriptions for
          lpfc_cr_delay, lpfc_cr_count and lpfc_discovery_threads.
        * Lock before calling lpfc_sli_hba_down().
        * Fix leak of "host" in the error path in the remove_one() path.
        * Fix comment for lpfc_cr_count.  It defaults to 1.
        * Fix issue where we are calling lpfc_disc_done() recursively from
          lpfc_linkdown(), but list_for_each_entry_safe() is not safe for
          such use.
        * Bump lpfc_discovery_threads (count of outstading ELS commands in
          discovery) to 32
        * If the SCSI midlayer tries to recover from an error on a lun
          while the corresponding target is in the NPR state, lpfc driver
          will reject all the resets. This will cause the target to be
          moved to offline state and block all the I/Os. The fix for this
          is to delay the lun reset to a target which is not in MAPPED
          state until the target is rediscovered or nodev timeout is
          fired.

Changes from 20041229 to 20050110

        * Changed version number to 8.0.20
        * rport fix: use new fc_remote_port_rolechg() function instead of
          direct structure change
        * rport fix: last null pointer check
        * Phase II of GFP_ATOMIC effort.  Replaced iocb_mem_pool and
          scsibuf_mem_pool with kmalloc and linked list.  Inserted list
          operations for mempool_alloc calls.  General code cleanup.  All
          abort and reset routines converted.  Handle_ring_event
          converted.
        * If the mbox_cmpl == lpfc_sli_wake_mbox_wait in
          lpfc_sli_handle_mb_event, pmb->context1 points to a waitq. Do
          not free the structure.
        * rport fixes: fix for rmmod crash
        * rport fixes: when receiving PRLI's, set node/rport role values
        * rport fixes: fix for unload and for fabric port deletes
        * VPD info bug fix.
        * lpfc_linkdown() should be able to process all outstanding events
          by calling lpfc_disc_done() even if it is called from
          lpfc_disc_done() Moving all events from phba->dpc_disc to local
          local_dpc_disc prevents those events from being processed.
          Removing that queue. From now on we should not see "Illegal
          State Transition" messages.
        * Release host lock and enable interrupts when calling
          del_timer_sync()
        * All related to rports: Clean up issues with rport deletion
          Convert to using block/unblock on list remove (was del/add)
          Moved rport delete to freenode - so rport tracks node.
        * rport fixes: for fport, get maxframe and class support
          information
        * Added use of wait_event to work with kthread interface.
        * Ensure that scsi_transport_fc.h is always pulled in by
          lpfc_scsiport.c
        * In remote port changes: no longer nulling target->pnode when
          removing from mapped list. Pnode get nulled when the node is
          freed (after nodev tmo). This bug was causing i/o received in
          the small window while the device was blocked to be errored w/
          did_no_connect. With the fix, it returns host_busy
          (per the pre-remote port changes).
        * Merge in support for fc transport remote port use. This removes
          any consistent bindings within the driver. All scanning is now
          on a per-target basis driven by the discovery engine.

Changes from 20041220 to 20041229

        * Changed version number to 8.0.19
        * Fixed bug for handling RSCN type 3.  Terminate RSCN mode
          properly after ADISC handling completes.
        * Add list_remove_head macro.  Macro cleans up memory allocation
          list handling.  Also clean up lpfc_reset_bus_handler - routine
          does not need to allocate its own scsi_cmnd and scsi_device
          structures.
        * Fixed potential discovery bug, nlp list corrutpion fix potential
          memory leak
        * Part 1 of the memory allocation rework request by linux-scsi.
          This effort fixes the number of bdes per scsi_buf to 64, makes
          the scatter-gather count a module parameter, builds a linked
          list of scsi_bufs, and removes all dependencies on lpfc_mem.h.
        * Reverted lpfc_do_dpc, probe_one, remove_one to original
          implementation.  Too many problems (driver not completing
          initial discovery, and IO not starting to disks).  Backs out
          kthread patch.
        * Fix race condition in lpfc_do_dpc.  If wake_up interrupt occurs
          while lpfc_do_dpc is running disc_done and the dpc list is
          empty, the latest insertion is missed and the schedule_timeout
          does not wakeup.  The sleep interval is MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT
          defined as ~0UL >> 1, a very large number.  Hacked it to 5*HZ
          for now.
        * Fixed bug introduced when discovery thread implementation was
          moved to kthread. kthread_stop() is not able to wake up thread
          waiting on a semaphore and "modprobe -r lpfc" is not always
          (most of the times) able to complete. Fix is in not using
          semaphore for the interruptable sleep.
        * Small Makefile cleanup - Remove remnants of 2.4 vs. 2.6
          determination.

Changes from 20041213 to 20041220

        * Changed version number to 8.0.18
        * Janitorial cleanup after removal of sliinit and ringinit[] ring
          statistic is owned by the ring and SLI stats are in sli
          structure.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Kill
          compile warnings on 64 bit platforms: %variables for %llx format
          specifiers must be caste to long long because %(u)int64_t can
          just be long on 64bit platforms.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Removes
          dead code.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>: use
          kthread interface.
        * Print LPFC_MODULE_DESC banner in module init routine.
        * Removed sliinit structure and ringinit[] array.
        * Changed log message number from 324 to 326 in lpfc_sli.c.
        * Wait longer for commands to complete in lpfc_reset_bus_handler
          and lpfc_reset_bus_handler.  Also use schedule_timeout() instead
          of msleep() and add error message in lpfc_abort_handler()
        * When setting lpfc_nodev_tmo, from dev_loss set routine, make 1
          sec minimum value.
        * Functions which assume lock being held were called without lock
          and kernel complained about unlocking lock which is not locked.
        * Added code in linkdown to unreg if we know login session will be
          terminated.
        * Removed automap config parameter and fixed up use_adisc logic to
          include FCP2 devices.

Changes from 20041207 to 20041213

        * Changed version number to 8.0.17
        * Fix sparse warnings by adding __iomem markers to lpfc_compat.h.
        * Fix some sparse warnings -- 0 used as NULL pointer.
        * Make sure there's a space between every if and it's (.
        * Fix some overly long lines and make sure hard tabs are used for
          indentation.
        * Remove all trailing whitespace.
        * Integrate Christoph Hellwig's patch for 8.0.14: if
          pci_module_init fails we need to release the transport template.
          (also don't print the driver name at startup, linux drivers can
          be loaded without hardware present, and noise in the log for
          that case is considered unpolite, better print messages only for
          hardware actually found).
        * Integrate Christoph Hellwig's patch for 8.0.14: Add missing
          __iomem annotations, remove broken casts, mark functions static.
          Only major changes is chaning of some offsets from word-based to
          byte-based so we cans simply do void pointer arithmetics (gcc
          extension) instead of casting to uint32_t.
        * Integrate Christoph Hellwig's patch for 8.0.14: flag is always
          LPFC_SLI_ABORT_IMED, aka 0 - remove dead code.
        * Modified preprocessor #ifdef, #if, #ifndef to reflect upstream
          kernel submission.  Clean build with make clean;make and make
          clean;make ADVANCED=1 on SMP x86, 2.6.10-rc2 on RHEL 4 Beta
          1. IO with a few lips and a long cable pull behaved accordingly.
        * Implement full VPD support.
        * Abort handler will try to wait for abort completion before
          returning.  Fixes some panics in iocb completion code path.

Changes from 20041130 to 20041207
        
        * Changed version number to 8.0.16
        * Hung dt session fix.  When the midlayer calls to abort a scsi
          command, make sure the driver does not complete post-abort
          handler.  Just NULL the iocb_cmpl callback handler and let SLI
          take over.
        * Add Read check that uses SLI option to validate all READ data
          actually received.


Changes from 20041123 to 20041130

        * Changed version number to 8.0.15
        * Ifdef'd unused "binary" attributes by DFC_DEBUG for clean
          compiles
        * Stop DID_ERROR from showing up along with QUEUE_FULL set by the
          Clarion array (SCSI error ret. val.  0x70028) There is no need
          for driver to hard fail command which was failed by the target
          device.
        * Fix for Scsi device scan bug reported on SourceForge.  Driver
          was returning a DID_ERROR in lpfc_handle_fcp_error causing
          midlayer to mark report luns as failing even though it
          succeeded.
        * Don't ignore SCSI status on underrun conditions for inquiries,
          test unit ready's, etc.  This was causing us to lose
          reservation conflicts, etc

Changes from 20041018 to 20041123
        
        * Changed version number to 8.0.14
        * Added new function "iterator" lpfc_sli_next_iocb_slot() which
          returns pointer to iocb entry at cmdidx if queue is not full.
          It also updates next_cmdidx, and local_getidx (but not cmdidx)
        * lpfc_sli_submit_iocb() copies next_cmdidx into cmdidx. Now it is
          the only place were we are updating cmdidx.
        * lpfc_sli_update_ring() is split in to two --
          lpfc_sli_update_ring() and lpfc_sli_update_full_ring().
        * lpfc_sli_update_ring() don't to read back correct value of
          cmdidx.
        * Simplified lpfc_sli_resume_iocb() and its use.
        * New static function lpfc_sli_next_iocb(phba, pring, &piocb) to
          iterate through commands in the TX queue and new command (at the
          end).
        * Reduced max_lun to 256 (due to issues reported to some arrays).
          Fixed comment, and macro values so def=256, min=1, max=32768.
        * Fix an obvious typo/bug: kfree was used to free lpfc_scsi_buf
          instead of mempool_free in lpfc_scsiport.c.
        * Suppress nodev_tmo message for FABRIC nodes.
        * Fixed some usage of plain integer as NULL pointer.
        * Bug fix for FLOGI cmpl, lpfc_els_chk_latt error path code
          cleanup.
        * Fixup lpfc_els_chk_latt() to have Fabric NPorts go thru
          discovery state machine as well.
        * Fixes to lpfc_els_chk_latt().
        * Use DID not SCSI target id as a port_id and add some missing
          locks in lpfc_fcp.c.
        * Changed eh_abort_handler to return FAILED if command is not
          found in driver.
        * Fix crash: paging request at virtual address 0000000000100108 -
          a result of removing from the txcmpl list item which was already
          removed (100100 is a LIST_POISON1 value from the next pointer
          and 8 is an offset of the "prev") Driver runs out of iotags and
          does not handle that case well. The root of the proble is in the
          initialization code in lpfc_sli.c
        * Changes to work with proposed linux kernel patch to support
          hotplug.
        * Zero out seg_cnt in prep_io failure path to prevent double sg
          unmap calls.
        * Fix setting of upper 32 bits for Host Group Ring Pointers if in
          SLIM. Old code was inappropriately masking off low order bits.
        * Use scsi_[activate|deactivate]_tcq calls provided in scsi_tcq.h.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig (hch@lst.de): don't call
          pci_dma_sync_* on coherent memory. pci_dma_sync_* is need and
          must be used only with streaming dma mappings pci_map_*, not
          coherent mappings.  Note: There are more consistent mappings
          that are using pci_dma_sync calls. Probably these should be
          removed as well.
        * Modified lpfc_free_scsi_buf to accommodate all three scsi_buf
          free types to alleviate miscellaneous panics with cable pull
          testing.
        * Set hotplug to default 0 and lpfc_target_remove to not remove
          devices unless hotplug is enabled.
        * Fixed discovery bug: plogi cmpl uses ndlp after its freed.
        * Fixed discovery bug: rnid acc cmpl, can potentially use ndlp
          after its freed.
        * Modularize code path in lpfc_target_remove().
        * Changes to support SCSI hotplug (ifdef'ed out because they need
          kernel support USE_SCAN_TARGET requires kernel support to export
          the interface to scsi_scan_target and to move the SCAN_WILD_CARD
          define to a general scsi header file.  USE_RESCAN_HOST requires
          kernel support to export an interface to scan_scsi_host() with
          the rescan flag turned on).
        * Removed redundant variable declaration of lpfc_linkdown_tmo.
        * Fix for large port count remove test.
        * Added check to see if BAR1 register is valid before using BAR1
          register for programming config_port mail box command.
        * Added lpfc_scsi_hotplug to enable/disable driver support of SCSI
          hotplug.
        * Changed lpfc_disc_neverdev() to lpfc_disc_illegal() and changed
          lpfc_disc_nodev() to lpfc_disc_noop().  Adjusted appropriate
          events to use these routines.
        * Add support for SCSI device hotplug.
        * Take dummy lpfc_target's into account for lpfc_slave_destroy().
        * Bug fix to store WWPN / WWNN in NameServer / FDMI lpfc_nodelist
          entries.
        * Added slavecnt in lpfc_target for diagnostic purposes.
        * Added lpfc_hba load/unload flags to take care of special cases
          for add/remove device.
        * Have target add/remove delay before scanning.
        * Have rmmod path cleanup blocked devices before scsi_remove_host.
        * Added a #define for msleep for 2.6.5 kernels.
        * In reset bus handler if memory allocation fails, return FAILED
          and not SUCCESS.
        * Have lpfc eh handlers, bus_reset and lun_reset, wait for all
          associated I/Os to complete before returning.
        * Fix memset byte count in lpfc_hba_init so that
          LP1050 would initialize correctly.
        * Backround nodev_timeout processing to DPC This enables us to
          unblock (stop dev_loss_tmo) when appopriate.
        * Fix array discovery with multiple luns.  The max_luns was 0 at
          the time the host structure was initialized.  lpfc_cfg_params
          then set the max_luns to the correct value afterwards.
        * Remove unused define LPFC_MAX_LUN and set the default value of
          lpfc_max_lun parameter to 512.
        * Reduced stack usage of lpfc_hba_init.
        * Cleaned up the following warning generated by
          scripts/checkincludes.pl lpfc_fcp.c: scsi/scsi_cmnd.h is
          included more than once.
        * Replaced "set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
          schedule_timeout(timeout)" with "msleep(timeout)".
        * Fixnode was losing starget when rediscovered. We saw messages
          like: lpfc 0000:04:02.0: 0:0263 Cannot block scsi target as a
          result.  Moved starget field into struct lpfc_target which is
          referenced from the node.
        * Add additional SLI layer logging in lpfc_sli.c.
        * Ignore more unexpected completions in lpfc_nportdisc.c.
        * Can not call lpfc_target_unblock from the soft interrupt
          context.  It seems to be not nessasery to unblock target from
          nodev timeout.
        * Introduce and use less lethal event handler for unexpected
          events in lpfc_nportdisc.c.
        * Can not call fc_target_(un)block() functions with interrupts
          disabled in lpfc_scsiport.c.
        * Added new configuration parameter, lpfc_max_luns range 1-32768,
          default 32768.
        * Allow lpfc_fcp.c to call lpfc_get_hba_sym_node_name().
        * Increase nodev timeout from 20 seconds to 30 seconds.
        * Replace some kfree((void*)ptr) with kfree(ptr).
        * Make 3 functions static: lpfc_get_hba_sym_node_name,
          lpfc_intr_prep and lpfc_setup_slim_access.  Move lpfc_intr_prep
          and lpfc_setup_slim_access so they're defined before being used.
        * Remove an unnecessary list_del() in lpfc_hbadisc.c.
        * Set nlp_state before calling lpfc_nlp_list() since this will
          potentially call fc_target_unblock which may cause a race in
          queuecommand by releasing host_lock.
        * Since lpfc_nodev_tmo < dev_loss_tmo remove queuecommand
          DID_BAD_TARGET return for now.
        * Fix a problem with rcv logo.
        * Remove unused portstatistics_t structure.
        * Remove #if 0 and unnecessary checks in lpfc_fcp.c.
        * Simplify lpfc_issue_lip: Extra layer of protection removed.
        * Grab lock before calling lpfc_sli_issue_mbox(phba, pmb,
          MBX_NOWAIT) in lpfc_sli_issue_mbox_wait().

Changes from 20040920 to 20041018

        * Changed version number to 8.0.13
        * Hide some attributes using #ifndef DFC_DEBUG ... #endif.
        * Modify Makefile to (1) make BUILD_NO_DEBUG=1 will hide some
          (binary) attributes (2) make BUILD_FC_TRANS=0 will build driver
          for 2.6.5 kernel with block/unblock patch.
        * Modified #ifdef names.
        * Added support for proposed FC transport host attributes (which
          replaces some of the attributes we had local to the driver).
          Removed the binary statistics sysfs attribute.
        * Added extra ELS verbose logging for ELS responses.
        * Added recognition for BUILD_FC_TRANS=2 to Makefile to define
          FC_TRANS_VER2.
        * Add a pointer for link stats allocation.
        * Exported lpfc_get_hba_sym_node_name for use by FC_TRANS_VER2
          sysfs routines.
        * Fix discovery problem in lip testing: if device sends an ELS cmd
          (i.e. LOGO) before our FLOGI completes it should be LS_RJT'ed.
        * Moved #defines around to provide target_add/remove for upstream
          kernel deliverables only not SLES9.  Provided ifdefs to #include
          target_block/unblock only if FC_TRANS_VER1.
        * Add sanity check in lpfc_nlp_list move setting nlp_Target
          outside #ifdef.
        * Added a blocked member to the lpfc_target structure for
          block/unblock.  This member allows the driver to know when to
          unblock for pci_remove_one or pci_add_one.  #ifdef'd some more
          block/unblock stuff and removed some defensive checks from
          target_block/unblock.
        * Moved + 5 second window to dev_loss_tmo setting and updated
          comments.
        * Removed NULL target check from target_block/unblock and fixed up
          a few comments.
        * Enable sysfs attributes on 2.6.5 kernels and remove extra
          compatibility code.
        * Remove any and all trailing whitespace.
        * Added message 0718 and return error when dma_map_single fails.
        * Changed the fcpCntl2 commands to include an FCP_ prefix to get
          rid of build warnings on later 2.6.9-rc kernels.  Build
          conflicts with scsi/scsi.h.  Remove inclusions of scsi/scsi.h
          from hbadisc.c, sli.c, and fcp.c since these modules had no
          dependencies on scsi.h.
        * Fixed a bug with RSCN handling. A RSCN received on one device,
          shouldn't affect other devices not referenced by the RSCN.
        * Moved #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,6) to include
          lpfc_jedec_to_ascii to prevent warning in SLES 9.
        * Update Makefile to account for SLES 9 and scsi-target upstream
          kernel.
        * This checkin provides block/unblock hooks for the upstream scsi
          target kernel and 2.6.5 on SLES9 SP1 with the block/unblock
          patch.
        * Discovery changes regarding setting targetp->pnode and
          ndlp->nlp_Target Ensure fc_target_* routines are called properly
          from discovery.  Remove list_del's from lpfc_cleanup().  Ensure
          all the lpfc_consistent_bind_* routines don't set any driver
          structure objects.
        * Fix for timeout of READ_LA or READ_SPARAM mailbox command
          causing panic.
        * Cleanup list_del()'s for Discovery ndlp lists.
        * Bug fixes for some insmod/rmmod crashes, link down crashes and
          device loss crashes.
        * Removed NLP_SEARCH_DEQUE.
        * Call lpfc_target_unblock only if the targetp is nonNull and with
          the host_lock held.
        * Added qcmdcnt back along with misc bug fixes to discovery.
        * Changed tgt_io to outfcpio lpfc_fcp.c.
        * Fixed errors caused by LIP and cable pulls both with and without
          block/unblock patch.
        * For now we have to call fc_target_unblock and fc_target_block
          with interrupts enabled.
        * Save seg_cnt from dma_map_sg.  Save scatter-gather start address
          and pass back to dma_unmap_sg in error with seg_cnt.
        * Incorporating block/unblock calls into driver with ifdefs.  This
          change is supported by scsi-target-2.6 kernel and forward only.
        * Merged in some discovery bug fixes and added tgt io counters.
        * Added sysfs attributes/interfaces: read only attribute
          "management_version" and write only attribute "issue_lip".
        * Fix build on big endian machines: while #if was OK with
          __BIG_ENDIAN which defined as 4321, __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD has to
          be tested with #ifdef because it does not have any value, it is
          either defined or not.
        * Add fabric_name and port_type attributes.
        * Change mdelay to msleep.  mdelay works, but wastefully uses cpu
          resources without a lock held. Revert to msleep.  Tested with
          sg_reset for bus and three attached targets.
        * Added the customary #ifndef...#define...#endif to
          lpfc_version.h.
        * Integrate patches from Christoph Hellwig: two new helpers common
          to lpfc_sli_resume_iocb and lpfc_sli_issue_iocb - singificant
          cleanup of those two functions - the unused SLI_IOCB_USE_TXQ is
          gone - lpfc_sli_issue_iocb_wait loses its flags argument
          totally.
        * Fix in lpfc_sli.c: we can not store a 5 bit value in a 4-bit
          field.
        * Moved some routines out of lpfc_fcp.c into more appropriate
          files.
        * Whitespace cleanup: remove all trailing whitespace.
        * Make lpfc_disc_ndlp_show static to lpfc_fcp.c.
        * Remove leftover printk and replace some with
          printk(KERN_WARNING)
        * Trivial: fix a few long lines and a soft tab.
        * Remove warnings generated by Sparse against driver (make
          C=1). Mostly these are "using integer as pointer warnings"
          i.e. use NULL instead of 0.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: Quite a lot of changes
          here, the most notable is that the phba->slim2p lpfc_dmabuf goes
          away in favour of a typede pointer and a dma_addr_t.  Due to the
          typed pointer lots of the cast mess can go away, and while at it
          I also replaced the messy SLI2_SLIM_t with a simple struct
          lpfc2_sli2_slim that only contains the part of the union we care
          about while using SLI2_SLIM_SIZE for all size calculations
          directly.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: This streamlines the
          I/O completion path a little more, especially taking care of
          fast-pathing the non-error case.  Also removes tons of dead
          members and defines from lpfc_scsi.h - e.g. lpfc_target is down
          to nothing more than the lpfc_nodelist pointer.
        * Added binary sysfs file to issue mbox commands
        * Replaced #if __BIG_ENDIAN with #if __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD for
          compatibility with the user space applications.
        * Decrease the amount of data in proc_info.
        * Condense nodelist flag members.
        * Expand INFO for discovery sysfs shost entries.
        * Notify user if information exceeds 4k sysfs limit.
        * Removed a bunch of unused #defines.
        * Added initial sysfs discovery shost attributes.
        * Remove unused #defines lpfc_disc.h.
        * Fixed failMask nodelist settings.
        * Cleanup some old comments / unused variables.
        * Add LP101 to list of recognized adapters.

Changes from 20040908 to 20040920

        * Changed version number to 8.0.12
        * Removed used #defines: DEFAULT_PCI_LATENCY_CLOCKS and
          PCI_LATENCY_VALUE from lpfc_hw.h.
        * Changes to accommodate rnid.
        * Fix RSCN handling so RSCN NS queries only effect NPorts found in
          RSCN data.
        * If we rcv a plogi on a NPort queued up for discovery, clear the
          NLP_NPR_2B_DISC bit since rcv plogi logic will force NPort thru
          discovery.
        * Ensure lpfc_target is also cleaned up in lpfc_cleanup().
        * Preliminary changes for block/unblock kernel API extensions in
          progress with linux-scsi list.  These are name changes and
          prototype changes only.
        * Added send_abts flag to lpfc_els_abort. For rcv LOGO when ADISC
          sent, the XRI of the LOGO rcv'ed is the same as the ADISC
          sent. Thus we cannot ABTS the ADISC before sending the LOGO ACC.
        * Weed out some unused fc_flags.  Add FC_DISC_TMO.
        * board_online sysfs attribute added to support libdfc functions
          InitDiagEnv and SetBrdEnv.
        * Streamline code in lpfc_els_retry fixup abort case in
          lpfc_els_timeout_handler().
        * Flush discovery/ELS events when we bring SLI layer down.
        * ctlreg and slimem binary attributes added to support libdfc
          read/write mem/ctl functions.
        * Integrated Christoph Hellwig's patch: Cleanup
          lpfc_sli_ringpostbuf_get.
        * Modified lpfc_slave_alloc and lpfc_slave_destroy to allocate and
          free a dummy target pointer.  This allows queuecommand to skip
          the NULL target pointer check and avoid the console spam when
          slave_alloc fails.
        * Fix cfg_scan_down logic, it was reversed.
        * Init list head ctrspbuflist.
        * Change name of lpfc_driver_abort to lpfc_els_abort since it is
          only valid for ELS ring.
        * Remove unused third argument for lpfc_consistent_bind_get().
        * Fix up iotag fields in lpfc_prep_els_iocb().
        * Remove log message on code path triggered by lpfc_els_abort().
        * Set host->unique_id in lpfc_fcp.c.
        * Removed deadwood: lpfc_target.pHba not necessary anymore.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: remove dead
          SLI_IOCB_POLL handling.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: Streamline I/O
          submission and completion path a little.
        * Remove unnecessary lpfc_brd_no.  Ensure brd_no assignment is
          unique.
        * Removed unused MAX_FCP_LUN.
        * Use mod_timer instead of add_timer for fdmi in lpfc_ct.c.
        * Fixed misc discovery problems.
        * Move stopping timers till just before lpfc_mem_free() call.
        * Fix up NameServer reglogin error path.
        * Cleanup possible outstanding discovery timers on rmmod.
        * Fix discovery NPort to NPort pt2pt problem.
        * Get rid of ip_tmofunc / scsi_tmofunc.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig:
          lpfc_disc_done/lpfc_do_dpc cleanup - lpfc_disc_done can return
          void - move lpfc_do_dpc and lpfc_disc_done to lpfc_hbadisc.c -
          remove checking of list emptiness before calling lpfc_disc_done,
          it handles the empty list case just fine and the additional
          instructions cost less then the bustlocked spinlock operations.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: This adds a new 64bit
          counter instead, brd_no isn't reused anymore.  Also some tiny
          whitespace cleanups in surrounding code.
        * Reorder functions in lpfc_els.c to remove need for prototypes.
        * Removed unused prototypes from lpfc_crtn.h -
          lpfc_ip_timeout_handler, lpfc_read_pci and lpfc_revoke.
        * Removed some unused prototypes from lpfc_crtn.h -
          lpfc_scsi_hba_reset, lpfc_scsi_issue_inqsn,
          lpfc_scsi_issue_inqp0, lpfc_scsi_timeout_handler.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: remove TRUE/FALSE
          usage.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig: Remove unused function
          prototypes lpfc_set_pkt_len and lpfc_get_pkt_data from
          lpfc_crtn.h - fixes build warnings.
        * Removed unused struct lpfc_dmabufip definition from lpfc_mem.h.
        * Removed pre-2.6.5 MODULE_VERSION macro from lpfc_compat.h.
        * Fixing missing static and removing dead code.
        * Adding nodewwn, portwwn and portfcid shost attributes.
        * Initial support for CT via sysfs. request payloads of size less
          than PAGE_SIZE and rsp payloads of size PAGE_SIZE are supported.
          Driver maintains a list of rsp's and passes back rsp's
          corresponding to the pid of the calling process.
        * Support for RefreshInformation, GetAdapterAttributes,
          GetPortStatistics.
        * Make nodev-tmo default to 20 seconds.
        * Fix up some DSM error cases, unreg_login rpi where needed.
        * Fix up comments for fc_target_block / fc_target_unblock.
        * Fix up code for scsi_block_requests / scsi_unblock_requests.
        * Add NLP_FCP_TARGET for nodeinfo support.
        * Move suspend/resume in lpfc_nlp_list under appropriate case -
          Used host_lock for DPC to avoid race (remove dpc_lock)
        * Fix some corner cases for PLOGI receive - simplify error case
          for cmpl_reglogin_reglogin_issue.
        * Bug fix for ppc64 EEH MMIO panic - always do readl after
          writel's of HBA registers to force flush.
        * Get rid of initial static routine declarations in lpfc_hbadisc.c
          and lpfc_els.c.
        * Updates to discovery processing.

Changes from 20040823 to 20040908

        * Changed version number to 8.0.11
        * Removed persistent binding code.
        * Display both ASC and ASCQ info.
        * Fixed link down->up transitions when linkdown tmo expires. Fix
          was in the defensive error checking at the start of
          queuecommand.
        * Removed lpfc_scsi_timeout_handler as this timer is no longer
          required.  The midlayer will exhaust retries and then call
          lpfc_abort_handler, lpfc_reset_lun_handler, and
          lpfc_reset_target_handler.
        * Minimal support for SCSI flat space addressing/volume set
          addressing.  Use 16 bits of LUN address so that flat
          addressing/VSA will work.
        * Changed 2 occurrences of if( 1 != f(x)) to if(f(x) != 1)
        * Drop include of lpfc_cfgparm.h.
        * Reduce stack usage of lpfc_fdmi_cmd in lpfc_ct.c.
        * Add minimum range checking property to /sys write/store
          functions.
        * Fix display of node_name and port_name via fc transport
          attr.
        * Removed biosparam code.
        * Removed range checking. phba->config[] array elements are now
          embedded into the hba struct. lpfc_config_setup() has been
          removed.
        * Collapsed lpfc_scsi_cmd_start into lpfc_queuecommand and cleaned
          up combined routines.
        * Removed unused prototypes myprint and
          lpfc_sched_service_high_priority_queue.
        * Removed unused function lpfc_nodev.
        * Removed scsi_cmnd->timeout_per_command cancelation. SCSI midlayer
          now times out all commands - FW is instructed to not timeout.
        * Removed polling code from lpfc_scsi_cmd_start. Reorganized
          queuecommand and cmd_start some.

Changes from 20040810 to 20040823

        * Changed version number to 8.0.10
        * Additional timer changes as per Arjan / Christoph's comments.
        * Used mod_timer() instead of del_timer_sync() where appropriate.
        * Fixed a use after free case (panic on 2.6.8.1 with
          CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB set).
        * Fix compile warning in lpfc_fcp.c.
        * Minor fix for log message, that prints unassigned brdno which is
          zero.
        * Move scsi_host_alloc() to the beginning of probe_one(). This
          ensures that host_lock is available at later stages and also
          avoids tons of unnecessary initializing if host_alloc()
          fails.
        * Removed else clause from lpfc_slave_configure that set
          sdev->queue_depth.  The driver informs the midlayer of its
          setting in the template and only overrides if queue tagging is
          enabled.
        * Added PCI_DEVICE_ID_ZEPHYR and PCI_DEVICE_ID_ZFLY (Junior
          Zephyr) support

Changes from 20040730 to 20040810
        
        * Changed version number to 8.0.9
        * Removed per HBA driver lock.  Driver now uses the host->host_lock
        * Restored support for the 2.6.5 kernel for those linux distributions
          shipped with the 2.6.5 kernel.
        * Applied patch from Christoph Hellwig (hch@infradead.org) as follows
          "[PATCH] use scsi host private data in ->proc_info.  
        * Applied patch from Christoph Hellwig (hch@infradead.org) as follows
          "Re: [Emulex] Ready for next round.  This patch cleans up the memory 
          allocation routines a little and fixes a missing mempool_destroy and
          some missing error handling."
        * Changed pointers assignments from 0 to NULL.
        * Added fixes to the lpfc_reset_lun_handler and lpfc_reset_bus_handler
          entry points that caused kernel to Oops or hang.
        * Added fixes to targetless hosts that caused modprobe and insmod to hang.
        * Ongoing cleanup to many files
          
Changes from 20040723 to 20040730

        * Changed version number to 8.0.8
        * Removed unused LPFN_DRIVER_VERSION #define.
        * Folded lpfc_findnode_scsiid into lpfc_find_target, its only
          caller.
        * Removed 2 unneeded arguments to lpfc_find_target (lun and
          create_flag).
        * Make lpfc_sli_reset_on_init = 1
        * Minor cleanup to quieten sparse.
        * Removed missing function = 0 in tmo routine in lpfc_els.c.
        * Moved additional binding parameters into lpfc_defaults.c:
          lpfc_automap / lpfc_fcp_bind_method
        * Use msecs_to_jiffies() where applicable.
        * Only use queue depth attribute only after SLI HBA setup was
          completed.
        * Put in memory barriers for PPC
        * Added PCI_DEVICE_ID_HELIOS and PCI_DEVICE_ID_JFLY (Junior
          Helios) support
        * Added 4&10 gigabit choices in user option link_speed
        * Updated timer logic: Set timer data after init_timer use
          timer_pending() instead of expires.
        * Removed some remnants of IP over FC support from Kconfig and
          Makefile.
        * Remove redundant prototypes for lpfc_handle_eratt,
          lpfc_handle_latt and lpfc_read_pci.
        * Ongoing cleanup of lpfc_init.c.
        * Changed LPFC_CFG_DFT_HBA_Q_DEPTH -> LPFC_CFG_HBA_Q_DEPTH.
        * Another cleanup stab at lpfc_ct.c. Remove castings, structure
          code sanely, remove redundant code, reorganize code so that
          functions are invoked after definition.

Changes from 20040716 to 20040723

        * Changed version number to 8.0.7
        * Cleanup of lpfc_ct.c. Removed number of casts, removed tons of
          dead/redundant code, cleaned up badly and poorly written code,
          cleaned up return values.
        * Fixed Persistent binding implementation
        * Removed all references to lpfc_scsi_req_tmo
        * Removed last references to lun_skip config parameter.
        * Removed LPFC_DEV_RPTLUN node failure bit because we don't issue
          REPORT_LUNS from the driver anymore.
        * Removed LUN-tracking in driver.  Removed lpfc_lun struct and
          moved any functionality we still need to lpfc_target.
        * Added new lpfc_jedec_to_ascii() call and replace two instances
          of duplicate code with calls to this function.
        * Removed Volume Set Addressing handling on LUN IDs.
        * Applied patch from Christoph Hellwig (hch@infradead.org) that
          removes dead code belonging to lpfc_build_scsi_cmnd() and its
          call path. This is related to the recently removed report_lun
          code.

Changes from 20040709 to 20040716

        * Changed version number to 8.0.6
        * Removed internal report LUNs usage.  Removed functions:
          lpfc_disc_issue_rptlun, lpfc_disc_cmpl_rptlun,
          lpfc_disc_retry_rptlun and their use.
        * Removed usused scheduler prototypes in lpfc_crtn.h
        * Replace lpfc_geportname() with generic memcmp().
        * Rearrange code in lpfc_rcv_plogi_plogi_issue() to make it a
          little more readable.
        * Remove redundant port_cmp != 2 check in if
          (!port_cmp) { .... if (port_cmp != 2).... }
        * Clock changes: removed struct clk_data and timerList.
        * Clock changes: separate nodev_tmo and els_retry_delay into 2
          separate timers and convert to 1 argument changed
          LPFC_NODE_FARP_PEND_t to struct lpfc_node_farp_pend convert
          ipfarp_tmo to 1 argument convert target struct tmofunc and
          rtplunfunc to 1 argument * cr_count, cr_delay and
          discovery_threads are only needed to be module_params and not
          visible via sysfs.

Changes from 20040614 to 20040709

        * Changed version number to 8.0.5
        * Make lpfc_info static.
        * Make lpfc_get_scsi_buf static.
        * Print a warning if pci_set_mwi returns an error.
        * Changed SERV_PARM to struct serv_parm.
        * Changed LS_RJT to struct ls_rjt.
        * Changed CSP to struct csp.
        * Changed CLASS_PARMS to struct class_parms.
        * Some cosmetic coding style cleanups to lpfc_fcp.c.
        * Providing a sysfs interface that dumps the last 32
          LINK_[UP|DOWN] and RSCN events.
        * Get rid of delay_iodone timer.
        * Remove qfull timers and qfull logic.
        * Convert mbox_tmo, nlp_xri_tmo to 1 argment clock handler
        * Removed duplicate extern defs of the bind variables.
        * Streamline usage of the defines CLASS2 and CLASS3, removing
          un-necessary checks on config[LPFC_CFG_FCP_CLASS].
        * Moving the persistent binding variables to new file
          lpfc_defaults.c
        * Changed LPFC_SCSI_BUF_t to struct lpfc_scsi_buf.
        * Moved config specific code from probe_one() into
          config_setup(). Removing a redundant check on scandown value
          from bind_setup() as this is already done in config_setup().
        * Changed LPFC_SLI_t to struct lpfc_sli.
        * Changed FCP_CMND to struct fcp_cmnd.
        * Changed FCP_RSP to struct fcp_rsp.
        * Remove the need for buf_tmo.
        * Changed ULP_BDE64 to struct ulp_bde64.
        * Changed ULP_BDE to struct ulp_bde.
        * Cleanup lpfc_os_return_scsi_cmd() and its call path.
        * Removed lpfc_no_device_delay.
        * Consolidating lpfc_hba_put_event() into lpfc_put_event().
        * Removed following attributes and their functionality:
          lpfc_extra_io_tmo, lpfc_nodev_holdio, lpfc_delay_rsp_err,
          lpfc_tgt_queue_depth and lpfc_check_cond_err.
        * Clock changes consolidating timers, just in the struct lpfc_hba,
          to get rid of clkData and pass only one argument to timeout
          routine. Also, removing need for outstanding clock linked list
          to stop these timers at rmmod.
        * Move lpfc.conf contents into lpfc_fcp.c. Removing per adapter
          attributes in favor of global attributes.
        * Fix a potential null pointer reference of pmbuf in lpfc_ct.c.
        * On reset_lun, issue LUN_RESET as opposed to ABORT_TASK_SET.
        * Removed SCSI_REQ_TMO related code.
        * Introducing two new defines LPFC_ATTR_R and LPFC_ATTR_RW that do
          a module_param, MODULE_PARM_DESC, lpfc_param_show,
          [lpfc_param_store] and CLASS_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE.
        * Properly clean up when allocation of a linked BDE fails in the
          SCSI queuecommand path.
        * Fail SCSI command if dma_map_sg call fails.
        * Remove unused macros SWAP_ALWAYS and SWAP_ALWAYS16.
        * Reset context2 to 0 on exit in
          lpfc_sli_issue_iocb_wait_high_priority() and
          lpfc_sli_issue_iocb_wait().
        * Arranging lpfc_scsiport.c to follow style of use after
          definition. This removes the need for the cruft of forward
          declarations. Also removing a redundant #define ScsiResult as it
          already available elsewhere.
        * Applying "Streamline lpfc error handling" patch from Christoph
          Hellwig (hch@infradead.org) with following modifications: fix
          mem leaks, remove some misplaced code that need not be there,
          print a message on exit (old code prints two (entry/exit)), make
          ret values consistent (either 1/0 or SUCCESS/FAILURE), keep all
          eh routines in a single file (lpfc_scsiport.c).
        * Move contents of lpfc_module_param.h into lpfc_fcp.c.
        * Changed sysfs attributes to CLASS_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTES (previously
          DEVICE_ATTRIBUTES). They now appear in
          /sys/class/scsi_host/hostx (previously in
          /sys/bus/pci/drivers/lpfc/devx).
        * Removed lpfc_syfs.h and lpfc_sysfs.c.
        * Cleanup of config params.  Throttle params have been removed.
          max_lun has been removed. max_target is replaced with a #define,
          lun_skip is removed.  Remove ipfc config params and related
          code.
        * Changed DMABUF_t usage to struct lpfc_dmabuf.
        * Downsizing iCfgParam structure to include a_string, a_low, a_hi
          and a_default values only.
        * Free SCSI buf safety memory pool on shutdown to eliminate memory
          leak.
        * Change lpfc_printf_log to a #define. Also include phba->brd_no
          and newline in the print string rather than in the #define.
        * Remove code that optionally locates Host Group Pointers in host
          memory SLIM since this is no longer needed for PPC64, once
          CONFIG_PORT uses HBA's view of its BAR0.
        * Removed the forward declarations of the sli functions and
          rearranging the code in lpfc_sli.c.
        * Removed the preamble functionality from logging.
        * Make lpfc_sli_hba_setup() return negative error codes on error
          and correct the comment left over in lpfc_fcp.c
        * Removed the lpfc_loadtime variable.
        * Put a space between all ifs and their open parens '('.
        * Change Studly_Caps LPFC_SCSI_BUF_t to struct lpfc_scsi_buf.
        * Fixed insmod hang after hardware error.
        * Relocated scsi_host alloc to before we enable the interrupt
          handler
        * Add .tmp_versions directory to Makefile clean target.  This
          directory is created in the 2.6.5+ build process (with Red Hat
          kernels at least).
        * Changing phba->config to kmalloc lpfc_icfgparam and not
          *phba->config. This is manifesting itself as a panic in
          pci_release_region().
        * Fix for firmware download / board reset problem.
        * Integrated patch from Christoph Hellwig (hch@infradead.org) to
          reorganize and cleanup lpfc_fcp.c
        * Don't abort commands immediately when there is an RSCN event to
          give driver time to rediscover targets before the midlayer
          retries the SCSI commands.

Changes from 20040604 to 20040614

        * Changed version number to 8.0.4
        * Removed lpfc_valid_lun function.
        * Added scsi_buf safety pool to address scsi_buf failures in
          queuecommand under low memory conditions.  Allocations now come
          from kmalloc initially, but if kmalloc fails, the allocation
          comes from the safety pool.
        * Modified lpfc_slave_alloc to only set the scsi_device->hostdata
          pointer if the driver has discovered the target.  This routine
          always returns success now as well since no error ever occurs in
          the alloc routine.
        * Mask only info and warning messages.  Print all error messages
          irrespective of mask.
        * Removing lpfc_log_chk_msg_disabled()
        * Changed lpfc_printf_log to take struct lpfc_hba * directly
          instead of a "board number".
        * Convert dma_sync_single to pci_dma_sync_single_for_{device/cpu}.
        * Implemented new style log messages. The message strings are now
          embedded in the call to lpfc_printf_log.
        * Decreased FLOGI discovery timeout to 20 seconds.
        * On error in lpfc_pci_probe_one() return -1 and not 1.
        * Allow for board numbers that are not sequential, paving the way
          for hotplug support.
        * scsi_add_host() can fail, so wrap it around in an if(). Also
          initiate scsi_scan_host() after attaching the sysfs attributes.
        * lpfc_release_version is used only in lpfc_ct.c, so move it there
          and mark it as static.
        * Removed lpfc_sleep_ms and replaced with mdelay or schedule calls
          directly
        * Removed all (struct list_head *) casts from clkData-related list
          handling in list_add, list_del macros.
        * Removed EXPORT_SYMBOLs.
        * Removed LPFC_MIN_QFULL and lpfc_qthrottle_up.
        * Replace LPFCSCSITARGET_t with struct lpfc_target.
        * Replace LPFCSCSILUN_t with struct lpfc_lun.
        * Remove unused struct declarations (fcPathId and fcRouteId) from
          lpfc_scsi.h.
        * Rewrite use of FC transport attributes.
        * Fix crash when link is lost.  This was due to lpfc_delay_iodone
          calling list_del on an object that was never put on a list.
        * Remove trailing spaces at the end of all lines.
        * Set MAX_FCP_TARGET to 256 from 0xff.  Set MAX_FCP_LUN and
          MAX_FCP_CMDS to their decimal equivalents and updated
          documentation.

Changes from 20040526 to 20040604

        * Changed version number to 8.0.3
        * Completed sysfs FC transport support.
        * Removed unused fields in SCSI LUN and SCSI Target structures:
          void *pTargetProto; void *pTargetOSEnv; void *pLunOSEnv;
        * Modified list_for_each to list_for_each_entry. Modified
          list_for_each_safe to list_for_each_entry_safe.
        * Remove lpfc_dfc.h file.
        * Changed pHba->phba, pCommand->pcmd
        * Changed plogi_ndlp -> plogindlp, pos_tmp->postmp, pRsp->prsp,
          pCmd->pcmd
        * Changed pText -> ptext
        * Changed p_tmp_buff -> ptmpbuff
        * Changed pBufList -> pbuflist, pRsp -> prsp, pCmd -> pcmd
        * Changed *pos_tmp -> *postmp, *p_mbuf -> *pmbuf
        * Following changes are made to the SCSI fast path: Added
          DMA_BUF_t member to the lpfc_scsi_buf_t.  This will reduce a
          memory allocation in the scsi fast path.  Added check for
          targetp == NULL in the scsi fast path.  Increased number of
          scatter gather entries in lpfc_scsi_dma_ext to 4 from 3 and
          changed the size of lpfc_scsi_dma_ext to 264
        * Fixing some missing static lpfc_nportdisc.c.
        * Reordered #include lines so that lpfc.h doesn't have to #include
          other header files.
        * Remove lpfc_get_hba_sym_node_name() as a global EXPORT and make
          it static.
        * Move struct clk_data definition from lpfc_hw.h to lpfc_sli.h.
        * Changed LPFC_IOCBQ_t to struct lpfc_iocbq.
        * Changed LPFC_SLI_RING_t to struct lpfc_sli_ring.
        * Changed LPFC_NODELIST_t to struct lpfc_nodelist.
        * Rearranged lpfc_nportdisc.c by moving state machine array
          (lpfc_disc_action) and the one function that uses it,
          lpfc_disc_state_machine, to the end of the file, removing the
          need for the raft of prototypes at the top.
        * Changed LPFC_BINDLIST_t to struct lpfc_bindlist.
        * Removed lpfc_issue_ct_rsp(), lpfc_sleep(), lpfc_add_bind(),
          lpfc_del_bind(), lpfc_sli_wake_mbox_wait() and
          lpfc_sli_issue_mbox_wait().
        * Fixed a large number of overly-long lines.
        * Fixed some discovery problems: Introduced deferred ndlp removal
          when in DSM to avoid panic when in nested DMSs Fix NportId
          fffc01 handling to not relogin after LOGO fixed handling of LOGO
          on PLOGI issue.
        * Changed SLI_CT_REQUEST to lpfc_sli_ct_request.
        * Changed NAME_TYPE to struct lpfc_name.
        * Changed lpfcCfgParam_t to struct lpfc_cfgparam.
        * Changed LPFC_STAT_t to struct lpfc_stats.
        * Changed HBAEVT_t to struct lpfc_hba_event.
        * Changed Studly_Caps lpfcHBA_t to struct lpfc_hba.
        * Removed no longer used tasklet_running flag.
        * Removing *PSOME_VAR typedefs and using SOME_VAR* directly.
        * Changing .use_clustering to ENABLE_CLUSTERING.
        * Modify lpfc_queuecommand to return SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY when
          it can't queue a SCSI command.  Also, remove cmnds_in_flight
          member of struct lpfcHBA for 2.6 kernels as it was only needed
          to determine what to return from queuecommand.
        * Change return type of lpfc_evt_iocb_free to void as it doesn't
          return anything.
        * Remove unused cmnd_retry_list and in_retry members in struct
          lpfcHBA.
        * Remove some instances of unneeded casting of kmalloc's return in
          lpfc_scsiport.c
        * Remove lpfc_linux_attach() and lpfc_linux_detach(). Integrate
          them into lpfc_probe_one() and lpfc_release_one() respectively.
        * Remove lpfc_num_iocbs, lpfc_num_bufs module parameters
        * Remove #defines for NUM_NODES, NUM_BUFS and NUM_IOCBS

Changes from 20040515 to 20040526

        * Changing version number to 8.0.2.
        * Including dma-mapping.h as one of the include headers.  Also
          rearrange the #include order.
        * Make functions static as appropriate.
        * queuecommand() will now return SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY instead of
          1 to backpressure midlayer.
        * Removed function prototypes for lpfc_start_timer() and
          lpfc_stop_timer()
        * Changed timer support to be inline.  Clk_data is now declared
          right next to the corresponding timer_list entry so we don't
          have to allocate these clk_data dynamically.
        * Add readls after writels to PCI space to flush the writes.
        * Fix misspelled word "safety" in function names.
        * Fix up comments in lpfc.conf for per HBA parameters to reflect
          new implementation.
        * Change lpfc_proc_info handler to get the Nodename from
          fc_nodename and not fc_portname.
        * Fix up some comments and whitespace in lpfc_fcp.c.
        * Formatting changes: get rid of leading spaces in code
        * Move discovery processing from tasklet to a kernel thread.
        * Move ndlp node from unmap list to map list if ADISC completed
          successfully.
        * Flush all the ELS IOCBs when there is a link event.
        * LP9802 qdepth is twice the LP9802DC qdepth.  Delay
          elx_sched_init after READ_CONFIG to get max_xri from the
          firmware.  Reset ELX_CFG_DFT_HBA_Q_DEPTH to max_xri after
          READ_CONFIG
        * Fix fc_get_cfg_parm() to be more robust and support embedded hex
          values.  The lpfc_param's are now defined as:
          lpfc_log_verbose="lpfc:0,lpfc0:0x10,lpfc1:4,lpfc100:0xffff" The
          "," delimter does not matter. It can be anything or not exist at
          all. ie param = "lpfc:0lpfc0:0x10.lpfc1:4txtlpfc100:0xffff" will
          also work.  Additionally the string is treated as case
          insensitive.
        * Changed all usage of lpfc_find_lun_device() to lpfc_find_lun().
        * Removed unnecessary wrappers lpfc_find_lun_device() and
          lpfc_tran_find_lun().
        * Switch from using internal bus/id/lun to similar data from
          scsi_device structure.
        * Eliminate one-line function lpfc_find_target()
        * Added slave_alloc, slave_destory
        * lpfc_scsi_cmd_start can now acquire lun pointer from
          scsi_device->hostdata, which is setup in slave_alloc.
        * Eliminate unnecessary checking on every cmd just to see if we
          are accessing the device the first time.
        * Remove assumption in lpfc_reset_lun_handler that a valid
          lpfc_scsi_buf is hung off of linux's scsi_cmnd->host_scribble
          when our reset is called.

Changes from 20040507 to 20040515

        * Changed version to 8.0.1
        * Fixed crash on driver rmmod after error injection tests and
          lpfc_tasklet deadlock.
        * Modified lpfc.conf to remove limit on number of support hosts
        * Removed HBAAPI 
        * Removed duplication of SCSI opcodes from lpfc_fcp.h that are
          available in scsi/scsi.h
        * Rework module_param usage
        * Added MODULE_PARAM_DESC for various module_params
        * Removed #define EXPORT_SYMTAB
        * Removed #includes of if_arp.h and rtnetlink.h
        * Removed string "Open Source" from MODULE_DESC
        * Cleanup duplicated string definitions used by MODULE_DESC
        * Renamed lpfc_pci_[detect|release] to lpfc_pci_[probe|remove]_one
        * Fix formatting of lpfc_driver
        * Remove unnecessary memset to 0 of lpfcDRVR
        * Attach driver attributes always unless pci_module_init failed
        * Remove all one-line wrappers from lpfc_mem.
        * Remove lpfc_sysfs_set_[show|store] as it is no longer needed
        * Redo lpfc_sysfs_params_[show|store] to one value per attribute rule
        * Breakdown lpfc_sysfs_info_show into smaller one value per attribute
        * Use device attributes instead of driver attributes where appropriate
        * Remove no longer needed EXPORT_SYMBOLs
        * Remove some unused code (1600 msg's related)

Changes from 20040429 to 20040507

        * Change version to 8.0.0
        * Fix the number of cmd / rsp ring entries in lpfc_fcp.c to match
          the divisions setup in lpfc_hw.h.
        * Remove phba->iflag reference.
        * Several locking improvements.
        * Remove functions lpfc_drvr_init_lock, lpfc_drvr_lock,
          lpfc_drvr_unlock and lpfc_hipri_*.
        * Remove LPFC_DRVR_LOCK and LPFC_DRVR_UNLOCK macros.
        * Make lpfc_info() use lpfc_get_hba_model_desc() instead of
          rewriting almost identical code.
        * Fix 1 overly long line in each of lpfc_cfgparm.h, lpfc_ftp.c and
          lpfc_sli.c.
        * Fix build for Red Hat 2.6.3 kernel by #defining MODULE_VERSION
          only if it isn't already defined.
        * Change elx_sli_issue_mbox_wait to return correct error code to
          the caller.
        * In some of the els completion routines, after calling
          lpfc_elx_chk_latt, driver ignores the return code of the
          lpfc_elx_chk_latt. This will prevent the discovery state machine
          restarting correctly when there are link events in the middle of
          discovery state machine running. Fix this by exiting discovery
          state machine if lpfc_els_chk_latt returns a non zero value.
        * Removed MAX_LPFC_BRDS from lpfc_diag.h
        * Removed unused first_check.
        * Remove some unused fields and defines.
        * Change lpfc-param names to lpfc_param.
        * Add use of MODULE_VERSION macro for 2.6 kernels.
        * Shorten length of some of the comment lines to make them more
          readable.
        * Move FCP_* definitions to their own header file, lpfc_fcp.h.
        * Remove unused prototypes from lpfc_crtn.h: fcptst, iptst,
          lpfc_DELAYMS.
        * Remove duplicated prototypes from lpfc_crtn.h:
          lpfc_config_port_prep, lpfc_config_port_post,
          lpfc_hba_down_prep.
        * Removed some unused export_symbols.
        * Install driver files into */drivers/scsi/lpfc instead of
          */drivers/scsi.

Changes from 20040426 to 20040429

        * Declared export symbol lpfc_page_alloc and lpfc_page_free
        * Changed lpfc version number to 6.98.3
        * Move the definition of MAX_LPFC_BRDS to the only header file
          that uses it (lpfc_diag.h).
        * Change lpfc_sli_wake_iocb_wait to do a regular wake_up since
          lpfc_sli_issue_iocb_wait now sleeps uninterruptible.
        * Replace list_for_each() with list_for_each_safe() when a list
          element could be deleted.
        * Fix IOCB memory leak

Changes from 20040416 to 20040426

        * Change lpfc_config_port_prep() to interpret word 4 of the DUMP
          mbox response as a byte-count
        * Add info attribute to sysfs
        * Minor formatting (spaces to tabs) cleanup in lpfc_sched.h
        * Remove unused log message number 732
        * Completing MODULE_PARM -> module_param changes
        * Removed unused targetenable module parameter
        * Removed locks from lpfc_sli_issue_mbox_wait routine
        * Removed code that retry 29,00 check condition
        * Removed code that manipulates rspSnsLen.
        * Fix use of lun-q-depth config param
        * Fix severity inconsistency with log message 249
        * Removed lpfc_max_target from lpfc_linux_attach
        * Replace references to lpfcDRVR.pHba[] with lpfc_get_phba_by_inst()
        * Change lpfc_param to lpfc-param
        * Partially removed 32 HBA restriction within driver.  Incorported
          lpfc_instcnt, lpfc_instance[], and pHba[] into lpfcDRVR
          structure Added routines lpfc_get_phba_by_inst()
          lpfc_get_inst_by_phba() lpfc_check_valid_phba()
        * Turn on attributes "set" & "params" by default.
        * Further formatting/whitespace/line length cleanup on: lpfc_ct.c
          lpfc_els.c lpfc_fcp.c lpfc_hbadisc.c lpfc_init.c lpfc_ipport.c
          lpfc_mbox.c lpfc_nportdisc.c lpfc_sched.c lpfc_sched.h
          lpfc_scsi.h lpfc_scsiport.c lpfc_sli.c and lpfc_sli.h
        * Add log message 249 to log any unsupported device addressing
          modes encountered.
        * Add support for 256 targets and 256 LUNs
        * Fixed panic in lpfc_linkdown.
        * Removed (struct list_head*) casting in several calls to list_del
        * Free irq reservation and kill running timers when insmod or
          modprobe are killed via ctrl-c
        * Remove drivers/scsi from include path
        * Wrap use of log message 311 in macro
        * Detect failure return from pci_map_sg call in lpfc_os_prep_io
        * Fix use-after-free of IOCB in lpfc_sli_process_sol_iocb which
          was causing an Oops on 2.6.5 kernel.
        * Cleanup use of several gotos not used for error exit.
        * Replace memcpy_toio() and memcpy_toio() with endian-dependent
          lpfc_memcpy_to_slim() and lpfc_memcpy_from_slim() so that for
          big endian hosts like PPC64, the SLIM is accessed 4 bytes at a
          time instead of as a byte-stream.

Changes from 20040409 to 20040416

        * The scsi_register and scsi_alloc_host OS calls can fail and
          return a zero-valued host pointer.  A ctrl-C on 2.6 kernels
          during driver load will cause this and the driver to panic.
          Fixed this bug.  Also found a bug in the error_x handling with
          lpfc_sli_hba_down - it was in the wrong place and the driver
          lock was not held, but needed to be (in lpfc_linux_attach) Fixed
          both.  Did some minor comment clean up.
        * Removed unwanted (void *) castings.
        * Replace define of INVALID_PHYS, with kernel 2.6.5's
          dma_mapping_error() and add a inline function for earlier
          kernels.  Remove lpfc_bad_scatterlist().
        * Clean up formatting in hbaapi.h, lpfc.h, lpfc_cfgparm.h,
          lpfc_crtn.h, lpfc_ct.c, lpfc_diag.h, lpfc_disc.h, lpfc_els.c,
          lpfc_fcp.c, lpfc_hbadisc.c, lpfc_hw.h, lpfc_init.c,
          lpfc_ipport.c, lpfc_logmsg.c, lpfc_logmsg.h and lpfc_scsiport.c
          - mostly replacing groups of 8 spaces with hard tabs and keeping
          lines to 80 column max..
        * Removed LPFC_DRVR_LOCK call from lpfc_unblock_requests for 2.4
          kernels.  The lpfc_scsi_done routine already unlocks the driver
          lock since it expects this lock to be held.
        * Removed global lock capabilities from driver lock routines
        * Remove SA_INTERRUPT flag from request_irq
        * Move dma_addr_t cast inside of getPaddr macro as everywhere
          getPaddr is used, the return is cast to dma_addr_t.
        * Clean up formatting in lpfc_sli.c and lpfc_sysfs.c - mostly
           replacing groups of 8 spaces with hard tabs and keeping lines
           to 80 column max.
        * Fix build for RHEL 2.1 BOOT kernels by always #including
          interrupt.h in lpfc.h.
        * Fix RHEL 3 build by #defining EXPORT_SYMTAB.
        * Replace sprintf with snprintf in lpfc_proc_info.
        * Fix build warnings on 2.6 kernels - remove no longer used calls
          to  character device initialization.
        * Initial support code for discovery in tasklet conversion.
        * Removing char interface and ioctl code.
        * Change all elx prefixes to lpfc
        * Replace lpfc_write_slim() & lpfc_read_slim() with memcpy_toio(),
          memcpy_fromio(), writel() & readl().

Changes from 20040326 to 20040402

        * Updated ChangeLog for 20040402 SourceForge drop.
        * Use safe list iterator for ndlp list
        * Added code to return NLP_STE_FREED_NODE from the discovery
          state machine functions if the node is freed from the

        * Fixes to DMABUF_t handling
        * Fix for load error in discovery
        * Remove loop_cnt variable from lpfc_rcv_plogi_unused_node.
        * Remove nle. reference.

        * Remove elx_util.h and replace elx_disc.h with lpfc_disc.h
        * Implemented the Linux list macros in the discovery code.
          Also moved elx_disc.h contents into lpfc_disc.h
        * Unused variable cleanup
        * Use Linux list macros for DMABUF_t
        * Break up ioctls into 3 sections, dfc, util, hbaapi
          rearranged code so this could be easily separated into a
          differnet module later All 3 are currently turned on by
          defines in lpfc_ioctl.c LPFC_DFC_IOCTL, LPFC_UTIL_IOCTL,
          LPFC_HBAAPI_IOCTL
        * Misc cleanup: some goto's; add comments; clarify function

          structure.
        * lpfc_online() was missing some timer routines that were
          started by lpfc_linux_attach().  These routines are now also
          started by lpfc_online().  lpfc_offline() only stopped
          els_timeout routine.  It now stops all timeout routines
          associated with that hba.
        * Replace separate next and prev pointers in struct
          lpfc_bindlist with list_head type.  In elxHBA_t, replace
          fc_nlpbind_start and _end with fc_nlpbind_list and use

        * Fix ulpStatus for aborting I/Os overlaps with newer firmware
          ulpStatus values
        * Rework params_show/store to be consistent as the other

          ELX_READ_MEMSEG ELX_READ_BINFO ELX_READ_EINVAL ELX_READ_LHBA
          ELX_READ_LXHBA ELX_SET ELX_DBG LPFC_TRACE 
        * Removed variable fc_dbg_flg
        * Fixed a bug where HBA_Q_DEPTH was set incorrectly for

          send (HBA_Q_DEPTH - 10) cmds.
        * Clean up code in the error path, check condition.  Remove
          ununsed sense-related fields in lun structure.
        * Added code for safety pools for following objects: mbuf/bpl,
          mbox, iocb, ndlp, bind
        * Wrapped '#include <elx_sched.h>' in '#ifdef USE_SCHEDULER'.
        * Fixed 'make clean' target.
        * Build now ignores elx_sched.o, and includes lpfc_sysfs.o.
        * Wrapped lpfndd.o target in BUILD_IPFC ifdef.
        * Removed elx_os.h inclusion in implementation files.
        * Removed ELX_OS_IO_t data structure and put data direction
          and non scatter/gather physical address into the scsi buffer
          structure directly.  Moved DRVR_LOCK, putPaddr, getPaddr
          macros and some defines into elx.h since they are required
          by the whole driver.
        * Migrated following ioctls (debug) ELX_DISPLAY_PCI_ALL
          ELX_DEVP ELX_READ_BPLIST ELX_RESET_QDEPTH ELX_STAT.
        * Step 1 of attempt to move all Debug ioctls to sysfs.
          Implemented the following IOCTLs in sysfs: ELX_WRITE_HC
          ELX_WRITE_HS ELX_WRITE_HA ELX_WRITE_CA ELX_READ_HC
          ELX_READ_HS ELX_READ_HA ELX_READ_CA ELX_READ_MB ELX_RESET
          ELX_READ_HBA ELX_INSTANCE ELX_LIP.  Also introduced
          attribute "set" to be used in conjunction with the above
          attributes.
        * Removed DLINK, enque and deque declarations now that clock
          doesn't use them anymore
        * Separated install rule so that BUILD_IPFC has to be set when
          make is called in order for the install rule to attempt to
          copy the lpfndd.o driver.  This change fixes a bug that
          occurs because the install rule by default attempted to
          install lpfndd.o, whereas the default make rule did not by
          default build lpfndd.o.
        * Keep track if hbaapi index numbers need to be refreshed.
        * Removed prod_os.h from include list.
        * Removed LPFC_LOCK and LPFC_UNLOCK macros.  Added OS calls
          into elx_os_scsiport.c.  This file is now empty.
        * Added spin_lock_irqsave and spin_unlock_irqrestore calls
          into code directly and removed LPFC_LOCK_ and _UNLOCK_
          macros
        * Remove references to "elx_clock.h"
        * Added utsname.h to include list.  The previous checkin to
          elx_os.h removed its inclusion of utsname.h since there is
          precious little in the file.  However, lpfcLINUXfcp.c needs
          it and now has it.
        * Removed some commented-out code
        * Removed elx_lck_t data structure, stray elxDRVR_t type, and
          include from file.  No longer used.
        * Removed two PCI Sync defines.  Removed includes - not
          needed.  Cleaned up macro lines.
        * Added two functions from elxLINUXfcp.c.  These functions
          were IPFC specific.
        * Removed hipri lock abstractions and added OS call into code.
          Removed elx_lck_t and added spinlock_t directly. Moved two
          IPFC functions into lpfc_ipport.c
        * Moved IP specific structures to lpfc_ip.h file.
        * lpfc_ipfarp_timeout() uses system timer.  Remove all usages
          of old internal clock support.
        * Made changes to compile without IPFC support for the default
          build.  Added ifdef IPFC for all lpfc_ip.h includes.
        * Patched elx_free_scsi_buf
        * Removed elx_sched.o from 2.6 dependencies
        * Reworked lpfc_pcimap.
        * Use Linux swap macros to replace ELX swapping macros
          (SWAP_SHORT, SWAP_LONG, SWAP_DATA, SWAP_DATA16,
          PCIMEM_SHORT, PCIMEM_LONG, PCIMEM_DATA).
        * move in_interrupt() check inside of elx_sleep_ms()
        * Moved location of pci.h include.
        * Restored elx_lck_t types in elxHBA_t.
        * Removed elx_pci_dma_sync call.  Also removed some PCI
          defines from elx_hw.h and removed the spinlock_t locks that
          are no longer used in elx.h
        * elx_iodone() now uses system timer.
        * elx_qfull_retry() now uses system timer.
        * lpfc_put_buf(), lpfc_ip_xri_timeout() and
          lpfc_ip_timeout_handler() now use system timer.
        * lpfc_fdmi_tmo() and lpfc_qthrottle_up() now use system
          timer.
        * Removed num_bufs and num_iocbs configuration parameters.
        * Fixed a memory corruption bug. This was caused by a memory
          write to ndlp structure from lpfc_cmpl_els_acc function.
          This ndlp structure was freed from lpfc_els_unsol_event.
        * lpfc_disc_timeout() and lpfc_establish_link_tmo() now use
          system timer.  Also update lpfc_els_retry_delay() to do a
          single lock release at the end.
        * Remove use of PAN (pseudo adapter number).
        * Reintroduced usage of the cross compiler for building on
          ppc64 to remove build errors that were cropping up when
          using the standard gcc compiler.
        * Fix no-unlock-before return in lpfc_els_retry_delay which was
          causing  a deadlock on insmod in some environments.
        * Minor format changes fix up comments
        * Create utility clock function elx_start_timer() and
          elx_stop_timer().  All timeout routines now use these common

          declaration.
        * Cleanup casting around DMA masks.
        * Comment out lpfndd.o modules_install section as lpfndd.o is
          not generated if CONFIG_NET_LPFC is not set. Also refer to
          BASEINCLUDE only in out of kernel source module builds as it
          will not exist otherwise.
        * Removed unused malloc counters from lpfcLINUXfcp.c.
        * Remove some unnecessary #includes in lpfcLINUXfcp.c

          kernel compile. Does not recompile all files on every
          build. Uses the kernel build's definitions of CFLAGS,
          MODFLAGS etc. Removed "make rpm" option.

        * Cleaned up some memory pool implementation code.
        * Fix panic with char dev changes. Turns out that 2.6.4 code does
          the same in kernel space with the 2.4 interface style
          definitions. So remove the new char dev code altogether.
        * Remove typecasting from fc_get_cfg_param and consolidate
          multiple instances of the parameter switch into a single
          instance.
        * Use lpfc_is_LC_HBA() macro that tests pcidev->device directly
          instead of saving a private copy that undergoes varied shifting
          & casting.
        * Removed usage of all memory pools.

Changes from 20040312 to 20040319
        
        * Use dev_warn instead of printk for 2.6 kernels
        * Correct Iocbq completion routine for 2.6 kernel case
        * Change void *pOSCmd to Scsi_Smnd *pCmd
        * Change void *pOScmd to struct sk_buff *pCmd
        * Remove data directon code.
        * Removed memory pool for buf/bpl buffers and use kmalloc/kfree
          pci_pool_alloc/free directly.
        * Move PPC check for DMA address 0 in scatter-gather list, into
          lpfc_compat.h
        * Always use pci_unmap_single() instead of pci_unmap_page()
        * Clean up the 2.6 vs 2.4 #if blocks.
        * Conditionalize Scheduler
        * Add a comment to explain a little what the first Makefile
          section does.
        * Removed lpfc_intr_post
        * Sysfs new display format. Also added write functionality. You
          can [ echo "0 log_verbose 3" >
          /sys/bus/pci/drivers/lpfc/params]. Hex support yet to be added.
        * Removed several #ifdef powerpc, including for a discovery issue
          in lpfc_ValidLun()
        * Change elx_printf_log to use vsprintf.
        * Added lpfc_compat.h provides macros to aid compilation in the
          Linux 2.4 kernel over various platform architectures.  Initially
          support mapping to a DMA address.
        * Removed memory pool for nlp/bind buffers and use kmalloc/kfree
          directly.
        * Removed memory pool for iocb buffers and use kmalloc/kfree
          directly.
        * Removed memory pool for mailbox buffers and use kmalloc/kfree
          directly.
        * Cleaned up back and forth casts
        * Initial support for sysfs for 2.6 kernel.
        * Changed elx_dma_addr_t to dma_addr_t
        * Fix a 2.6 kernel check to be >= 2.6.0 instead of > (was missing
          2.6.0).
        * Remove elx_printf and elx_str_sprintf. Replace elx_print with
          printk.
        * Replace elx_printf with printk.
        * Replace elx_str_sprintf with sprintf.
        * Removed the mem_lock, its prototype, function, macro, and
          iflags.
        * Use kmalloc/kfree for ELX_SCSI_BUF_t
        * Use linux pci_pools for SCSI_DMA_EXT
        * Use linux pci_pools for BPLs.
        * Minor cleanup of DFC args for PPC64.
        * Several small indentation cleanups.
        * New Linux 2.6 style of char device registration.
        * Migrated members of LPFCHBA_t and LINUX_HBA_t into elxHBA_t
        * Use strcpy, strncmp, isdigit, strlen instead of abstractions
        * Cleanup of driver_template.
        * Facilitate compile time turn on/off of lpfc_network_on.
        * Split large source files into smaller, better named ones.

Changes from 2.10a to 20040312

        * Fix build for 2.4 kernels
        * Move driver version macros into lpfc_version.h file.
        * Fixed data miscompare with LIP.
        * Removed elx_sli, elx_ioc, elx_disc, elx_sch routines,
          prototypes, and reference points.
        * Correct the space insertions with hardtabs
        * Remove routine call pointers in ELX_SLI_INIT_t struct.
        * Removed module locks except for drvr, mem, and clock.
