| |
Here's another release of the Compaq/Intel Hotplug PCI driver. It's available at: http://www.kroah.com/linux/hotplug/ and is against 2.4.7-pre6, but applies with a bit of fuzz on 2.4.6.
Changes since last release: - forward ported to 2.4.7-pre6 - lots better error handling on startup if things don't go quite right. - Cleared up the printk message that everyone sees about the bus number. - fixed the MOD_* handling (is not needed now.) - made debug messages a module parameter, instead of compile time option. - removed all direct addressing of PCI mmio space. Now uses proper indirection functions, which will make other platforms happy. - ioctl call now requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO privileges (can't shut down cards as a normal user anymore.) - removed most of the NT like error codes. - no longer sit and spin in a udelay() call for huge amounts of time.
There's a changelog available on the web page if you want some more detail.
Things left to do: - remove pci_access_config call and replace it with native kernel call. - remove more global symbols - incorporate native list types - look into removing some of the native PCI bus probing logic to use the kernel provided functions where possible. - add support for other archs (ia64)
thanks,
