This is another round of ipath driver patches for review. I believe the driver is almost ready for submission. We have addressed all prior feedback that I am aware of.
Major changes since the last round of review comments:
- Layered drivers now do the right thing when the underlying devices get hotplugged.
- The memory leak that Linus, Hugh, and others have been so helpful with during the past week is fixed; we now use remap_pfn_range instead of a nopage handler.
- There are no longer any binary or multiple-valued files in sysfs. Instead, we've added an ipathfs filesystem for that stuff.
There are two things left to do:
- ipath_rc.c contains some enormous functions that we are in the process of breaking up into more digestible chunks.
- The ipathfs filesystem doesn't handle hotplugged devices.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. If the current code looks OK, I expect to make a final submission for 2.6.17 in a day or two, once we have the above two items completed.
