The following patches, made against scsi-misc, remove the scsi_request usage from st and sg, do some tiny cleanup on sg, and make sg and st always perform scatterlist IO. I have tested against libata and scsi_debug for disks. There are slight changes, so someone with a tape device should test the patches, but Kai since Kai did all the debugging last round I have not made many changes. We will probably hit many problems with LLDs using low max_hw_sectors, because they have not been converted to export their real values on the host template so I think these patches should sit in scsi-misc for a good deal of time.
I for got to cc the st and sg maintainers. In case you guys do not follow linux-scsi closely and do not want all those patches sent to you I put them here
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~michaelc/block/use-sg/v8/ I can email them again too if you want. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
