[PATCH] scsi_debug v 1.75 for lk 2.6.9-bk4

[Douglas Gilbert]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 714 bytes --]

This gzipped patch is against lk 2.6.9-bk4 which is
after the lk 2.6.9 release and includes James's "[BK
PATCH] SCSI updates for 2.6.9" omnibus patch.

The changelog is with respect to version 1.74 found
in James's post lk 2.6.9 patch. The scsi_debug.[hc] files
can be found in the sdebug175.tgz tarball at
http://www.torque.net/sg/sdebug26.html

Nishanth, perhaps you could test this version and report
if it works and if the data transfers still seem slow.

Changelog:
     - fix highmem data transfers
          - fix kunmap_atomic() argument
          - disable clustering
     - allow every_nth < 0 for error continuously once
       count is reached
     - minor sense buffer handling cleanup

The patch applies and works against lk 2.6.10-rc1 as well.

I am not seeing any slowdown now, I think things have improved. I will
keep you posted if I have run into any further issues.

Thanks again for all of your help,
