I am actually very happy with the patch. Conceptually it is very simple and based on mechanisms existing in the driver. In addition to fixing the bug in this report, it removes the last difference in user space sematics between direct i/o and using the driver buffer. (No documentation change needed because Documentation/scsi/st.txt has not mentioned this difference ;-) -- Kai - 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
