The problem is that it's a change to sd and a change to scsi_lib in a fairly critical routine. While I'm reasonably certain the change is safe, I'd prefer to make sure by incubating in -mm for a while. The title, by the way, is misleading; it's not a memory corruption in sd at all really. It's the initio bridge which produces a totally standards non conformant return to a mode sense which produces the problem. And so, it's only the single initio bridge which is currently affected; hence the caution.
