[PATCH linux-misc-2.6] scsi: remove volatile from scsi data structures

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



 Hello, James.
 Hello, Christoph.

 This patch removes volatile qualifier from scsi_device->device_busy,
Scsi_Host->host_busy and ->host_failed as the volatile qualifiers
don't serve any purpose now.  While at it, convert those fields from
unsigned short to unsigned int as suggested by Christoph.
