Please include an URL or (better) summarize the reason why sg_set_page is not correct in the commit message. For example, replace this paragraph with the following: "To fix this, we can simply copy the original scatterlist entries into virtio-scsi's; we need to copy the entries entirely, including the flag bits, so using sg_set_page is not correct". Please send v3 with this change and I'll add my Acked-by. Paolo > > I have tested the patch on my workstation.
