      "message": "cciss: read config to obtain max outstanding commands per controller\n\nThis patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding\ncommands for each controller.\n\nMost Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable\nexceptions are the E200 and E200i.\n\nThe next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of\noperation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR).  In this mode they only support\n64 outstanding commands.  In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support\n1024.\n\nWe have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value\nfor each controller.  We needed a better way to set the queue depth to\navoid lots of annoying \"fifo full\" messages.  So we made the driver a\nlittle smarter.  We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the\nreturned value.  The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are\nnot tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.\n\nPlease consider this for inclusion.\n\nSigned-off-by: Mike Miller \u003cmike.miller@hp.com\u003e\nCc: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\nCc: \u003cstable@kernel.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "brd: don\u0027t show ramdisks in /proc/partitions\n\nIn 2.6.25, ramdisk devices show up in /proc/partitions, which is a\nbehaviour change from the old rd.c.  Add GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO,\nwhich was present in rd.c.\n\nAll kernels prior to 2.6.25 weren\u0027t displaying ramdisks in\n/proc/partitions.  Since there are many userspace tools using information\nfrom /proc/partitions some of them may now behave incorrectly (I didn\u0027t\ntested any though).  For example before 2.6.25 /proc/partitions was empty\nif no block devices like hard disks and such were detected by kernel.  Now\nall 16 ramdisks are always visible there.  Some software may rely on such\ninformation (I mean, on empty /proc/partitions).\n\nThere was quite similar situation back in 2004, and ramdisks were excluded\nback from displaying.  Thats why I called this a regression (maybe a bit\nunfortunate).  See this patch for info:\nhttp://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.3-rc2/2.6.3-rc2-mm1/broken-out/nbd-proc-partitions-fix.patch\n\nI also think that someone somewhere (long time ago) excluded ramdisks from\n/proc/partitions for good reasons.  It is possible that now such new\n\"feature\" is harmless, but I think there are more chances that someone\nwill say \"hey, /proc/partitions has changed, now my software doesn\u0027t work\"\nthen \"hey where did my new 2.6.25 feature go\".  nbd devices are also\nexcluded, maybe for very same (unknown to me) reasons.\n\nSigned-off-by: Marcin Krol \u003chawk@pld-linux.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nCc: \u003cstable@kernel.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"
