James, is there anything you're still waiting on before merging the
LSI megaraid 2.20.x driver into your scsi-misc-2.6 tree?  I thought
the agreement by you, Christoph, and Atul was to get it merged, and
then fix up the few outstanding concerns post-merge.

Thanks,
Matt

Arjan,

It will be :-) but the decision should not be made in a haste since two
other subsystems also use the same pending queue structure, the common
management module and the upcoming /sysfs. James idea of pushing those
packets to the mid-layer queues hasn't gotten much exposure yet. IMHO, that
isn't very clean. The respective sub-system should re-try in case the host
is busy.

There is another change pending, as suggested by Matt and Christoph,
function re-ordering. This also is pushed for post-merge since otherwise it
will be difficult to get it at all in the kernel. Remember, the first
submission was made sometime in May, when the stable kernel was 2.6!

Thanks
-Atul

James,

I have released the 2.20.3.1 drive, which should fix this issue. Did you get
a chance to merge that driver?

Thanks
