James? Oh ... it was reported against 2.6.26-rc1, so the fix is actually crrently queued for scsi-misc in my internal test rig. However, the reason for the long QA is that there's a potential danger to the fix which is clearing the buffer from the reported length to the actual length will break a SCSI card that misreports the returned length. It seems to be OK on my esoteric SCSI card collection, so I'll push it out to scsi-rc-fixes. However, I think it still wants to run in linux-next for a few days to see if anyone else can turn up a problem. The true issue, of course, is that we won't see a problem until the 2.6.26 release because the hardware that triggers it isn't in the set we're testing with. A less risky fix for 2.6.26-rc9 might be to move the clearing into the affected subsystem (usbstorage).
