+Current Version : 2.20.4.8 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+Older Version : 2.20.4.7 (scsi module), 2.20.2.6 (cmm module)
+
+1. Fixed a bug in megaraid_reset_handler().
+ Customer reported "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
+ at virtual address 00000000" when system goes to reset condition
+ for some reason. It happened randomly.
+ Root Cause: in the megaraid_reset_handler(), there is possibility not
+ returning pending packets in the pend_list if there are multiple
+ pending packets.
+ Fix: Made the change in the driver so that it will return all packets
+ in the pend_list.
+
+2. Added change request.
+ As found in the following URL, rmb() only didn't help the
+ problem. I had to increase the loop counter to 0xFFFFFF. (6 F's)

+
+ I attached a patch for your reference, too.
+ Could you check and get this fix in your driver?
+
+ Best Regards,
+ Jun'ichi Nomura

+
+1. Sorted out PCI IDs to remove megaraid support overlaps.
+ Based on the patch from Daniel, sorted out PCI IDs along with
+ charactor node name change from 'megadev' to 'megadev_legacy' to avoid
+ conflict.
+ ---
+ Hopefully we'll be getting the build restriction zapped much sooner,
+ but we should also be thinking about totally removing the hardware
+ support overlap in the megaraid drivers.
+
+ This patch pencils in a date of Feb 06 for this, and performs some
+ printk abuse in hope that existing legacy users might pick up on what's
+ going on.

+
+2. Fixed a issue: megaraid always fails to reset handler.
+ ---
+ I found that the megaraid driver always fails to reset the
+ adapter with the following message:
+ megaraid: resetting the host...
+ megaraid mbox: reset sequence completed successfully
+ megaraid: fast sync command timed out
+ megaraid: reservation reset failed
+ when the "Cluster mode" of the adapter BIOS is enabled.
+ So, whenever the reset occurs, the adapter goes to
+ offline and just become unavailable.
