The patch contains your first patch, the changes for removing the scsi_request interface and some changes to preserve the 2.4.x compatibility. We tested it and it should work fine. It would be great if it could be integrated in the 2.6.18 cycle. Many thanks and Regards, Achim ======================= Achim Leubner Software Engineer / RAID drivers ICP vortex GmbH / Adaptec Inc.

Can we use the scsi_get/put_command() functions for allocating a "struct scsi_cmnd" or should we allocate it with kmalloc() or somehow like that?

Sorry, I didn't have time to look at this yet. scsi_get/put_command() sems ok for now, if you have time to look at this now it would be good if you could look at it. It's too late for 2.6.17 already, but having it early in the 2.6.18 cycle would be very helpful. ----- End forwarded message ----- - : 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
