There are now a specific set of return codes to fully - specify all of the possible things that the low-level adapter - could do. - - * scsi.c: Act based upon return codes from abort/reset functions. - - * All host adapter abort/reset functions: Return new return code. - - * Add code in scsi.c to help debug timeouts. Use #define - DEBUG_TIMEOUT to enable this. - - * scsi.c: If the host->irq field is set, use - disable_irq/enable_irq before calling queuecommand if we - are not already in an interrupt. Reduce races, and we - can be sloppier about cli/sti in the interrupt routines now - (reduce interrupt latency). - - * constants.c: Fix some things to eliminate warnings.
