Subject: [GIT PATCH] another SCSI bug fix for 2.6.24-rc7
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 09:35:35 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1199979335.3141.34.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

This one's a fatal bug in the qla1280 32 bit descriptor handling, since
the unitialised req_cnt variable is used to count the number of
descriptor slots.  It turns out that qla1280 only uses 32 bit
descriptors on x86 if HIGHMEM isn't enabled, which is why it's taken so
long to find someone with a configuration that actually saw the problem.

The patch is available from:

master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi-rc-fixes-2.6.git

I've also attached it below for convenience.

James

Subject: [SCSI] qla1280: fix 32 bit segment code

There's an error remaining in the 32 bit descriptor code after the
conversion to dma accessors:  req_cnt is left uninitialised.

qla1280_32bit_start_scsi gives the following warnings:

drivers/scsi/qla1280.c: In function 'qla1280_32bit_start_scsi':
drivers/scsi/qla1280.c:3044: warning: unused variable 'dma_handle'
drivers/scsi/qla1280.c: In function 'qla1280_queuecommand':
drivers/scsi/qla1280.c:3060: warning: 'req_cnt' is used uninitialized in this function
drivers/scsi/qla1280.c:3042: note: 'req_cnt' was declared here
