ping James.
I understand that this is the last thing on your mind. But could we at least
agree at the scsi_cmnd API, which is, No API.
That is: scsi_cmnd->cmnd changes to a pointer that can point to a user buffer.
Andrew Hi!
It would be grate if you could put these patches in next -mm for testing.
the first patch in this series has a potential of been dangerous.
Since I changed an embedded array to a pointer, places that did &cmd->cmnd
will no longer work. I have scanned all occurrences of \bcmnd\b but
I might have missed a place.
Thanks
Boaz
