But this patch is intended to just replace the hand-rolled list implementation, not fixing bugs here. The problem is that 'sg_finish_rem_req()' is taking the rq_list_lock, so it needs a bit of rework to make that work properly. But I'll give it a go. > Either way I'd rather keep the whіle not empty style even with > proper lists. > Okay.
