Subject: [PATCH 0/10] remove scsi_request usage from sg and st
Date: Tue, 08 Nov 2005 04:06:29 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1131444389.23111.56.camel@max> (raw)

The following patches, made against scsi-misc, remove the scsi_request
usage from st and sg, do some tiny cleanup on sg, and make sg and st
always perform scatterlist IO.

I have tested against libata and scsi_debug for disks. There are slight
changes, so someone with a tape device should test the patches, but Kai
since Kai did all the debugging last round I have not made many changes.
We will probably hit many problems with LLDs using low max_hw_sectors,
because they have not been converted to export their real values on the
host template so I think these patches should sit in scsi-misc for a
good deal of time.
