Can you not duplicate the resid "fix" > it provides into "FROM_DEV" -- do apps really rely on it? At the beginning of this thread it was mentioned cdparanio uses it. But in general we can't just rip out userland interfaces, we pretend to have a stable userspace abi (and except for the big sysfs mess that actually comes very close to the truth). What we should do is to document very well what SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV is doing and that odd name that's been chosen for it. I'll prepare a patch for that. - 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
