I've merged latest master (f87813) and resolved a conflict in drivers/scsi/sd.c by adding back the truncation of the mode sense data. The UASP driver saw the following update: [USB] UASP: factor out GFP flags and make them GFP_ATOMIC Factor out the GFP flags and make them atomic: 1) The SCSI subsystem uses GFP_ATOMIC, e.g. before calling the host's slave_alloc callback (at the time of this commit). 2) As we are a storage driver doing I/O, we should use the lowest denominator (highest priority) allocation, and of course we shouldn't sleep, thus use GFP_ATOMIC. The branch can be found here (off of master): https://github.com/ltuikov/linux-2.6 Original posting of the UASP driver can be found here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=129165511732388&w=2 Luben -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
