[PATCH] Task name handling static copy v2.6 backport
There is a problem with task name handling in the /proc fs. See
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0407.1/0136.html
for the patch that eventually made its way into the 2.6 tree.
We now have people experiencing the same problem/bug in 2.4. Here
is a patch for 2.4 that implements the same fix. Please consider
applying.
Thanks,

[PATCH] Configurable quota messages
Here is a patch which allows root to turn of quota messages to console
(some users don't like them because they disturb other console output).
If you think the patch could go into 2.4 tree then please apply it.

JFS: fix race in jfs_commit_inode
There was a race that resulted in old, deleted inodes being written
to disk after the inode number had been reused. jfs_commit_inode
needs to verify that the inode is still linked and dirty before
committing it.

[PATCH] fix race condition in sg.c
This patch fixes a command completion race condition in the SCSI generic
driver. There are several variations of this patch floating around:
#1: Original patch from me:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=105664088400001&r=1&w=2
#2: Better patch from Brian King for lk 2.6.x:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=107843139000002&r=1&w=2
#3: Patch for a related problem from Brian King for lk 2.6.x:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=108636397100004&r=1&w=2
#4: Port of combined #2 and #3 to lk 2.4.x from Tom Coughlan:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=109657360500004&r=1&w=2
#5: Correction of #4 by me:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=109658140509138&w=2
None of these fixes have made it into lk 2.4.x yet. Below is a port of patch
#2 to 2.4.x which has been extensively tested by my company. Patch #5 which
includes these changes would be better, but I haven't tested it. Please
apply this patch, and the additional changes for patch #5 can be merged later
if and when they are tested by those interested.

[PATCH] fix for scsi_unjam_host: Miscount of number of failed commands
This is a resend of http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=108438814301446&w=2
This patch fixes a panic "scsi_unjam_host: Miscount of number of failed
commands". This panic happens only under very specific circumstances:
1) A command fails with check condition
2) The low-level driver doesn't auto-retrieve the sense data
3) The sense key is "not ready" and ASC/ASCQ indicate the unit is becoming
ready
4) A retry of the command fails in the same way
Please apply.

[PATCH] make SCSI error handler preserve data transfer residual
This is a resend of http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=108445913200046&w=2.
When a SCSI command fails, the error handler in 2.4.x may send a command
such as request sense which clobbers the data transfer residual value of
the original command. This patch makes the error handler
save and restore the data transfer residual so that the value passed
back to the upper level reflects the residual of the original command
rather than the error handler's internal command. This makes a difference
for userspace applications that use the /dev/sg* interface that require a
correct data transfer residual count even for commands that went through
error handling.
Please apply.

[PATCH] sym53c8xx_2 Ultra 160 requires LVD
This patch prevents sym53c8xx_2 from attempting to negotiate Ultra 160 on a

[PATCH] sym53c8xx_2 sniff inquiry fix
This is a resend of http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=108117878914404&w=2
The sym53c8xx_2 driver in lk 2.4.x is unmaintained. This is a backported fix
from lk 2.6.x for a problem with sniffing inquiry data incorrectly resulting
in Ultra 160 negotiation being disabled for some devices. Please apply.

[PATCH] sym53c8xx_2 error handler fix
The sym53c8xx_2 driver in lk 2.4.x is unmaintained. This is a backported
fix from lk 2.6.x for a problem with the error handler never successfully
completing an abort, bus reset, device reset, or host reset. This patch has
been well tested at my company. Please apply.
