I added a '#define DEBUG' to ps3disk.c and saved the dmesg output with and without the patch here: https://storage.googleapis.com/public-tmp-files/dmesg-ok.txt https://storage.googleapis.com/public-tmp-files/dmesg-ng.txt Looking at dmesg-ng.txt, it seems things are going OK, but then go wrong with a 'tag mismatch': [ 6.068298] ps3disk sb_03: ps3disk_do_request:193 [ 6.068318] ps3disk sb_03: ps3disk_submit_request_sg:140: read req has 2 bvecs for 16 sectors [ 6.068339] ps3disk sb_03: ps3disk_submit_request_sg:146: read 16 sectors starting at 256 [ 6.074231] ps3disk sb_03: ps3disk_interrupt:239: tag mismatch, got 0, expected 1 [ 6.084125] ps3disk sb_03: ps3disk_interrupt:271: read completed [ 6.084147] ps3disk sb_03: ps3disk_scatter_gather:107: bio 0: 16 sectors from 256 [ 6.084174] ps3disk sb_03: ps3disk_scatter_gather:107: bio 1: 16 sectors from 256 [ 6.084405] ps3disk sb_03: ps3disk_interrupt:252 non-block layer request completed ...
