I'm really sorry, mainline was already fixed at 2.6.17-rc5 time by that commit: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=1a2acc9e9214699a99389e323e6686e9e0e2ca67 But for some reason handhelds.org kernel tree's block/genhd.c file was unsynchronized with mainline. I've revealed that only after my patch was removed and I've started to investigate SCSI oops issue triggered by my patch. Resume: mainline do not need my patch, handhelds.org's kernel should be synchronized with mainline. -- Anton (irc: bd2) - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
