I do not believe you have the 3w-xxxx driver running on an alpha SMP system. 2. I removed the bitfields from the 3w-xxxx driver but I have yet to add full big endian support due to lack of demand. I have such a patch for this driver (which already includes the unpacking of the wait_queue_head_t variable) but I have not submitted it to the main-line kernel. The in-kernel 3w-xxxx driver is still missing the byte-swaps. The 3w-9xxx (9000 series 3ware driver) has full big endian support. 3. Your patch was garbled. Is this an official request for big endian support for the 3w-xxxx driver or are you looking for anybody who has a packed 'wait_queue_head_t' and submitting a patch to fix it? -Adam -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
