I would, except what this patch does is to initialise the command sg_ranz field (for both 64 bit and 32 bit commands). If you look in the code just below the patch application at the if (scp->use_sg) { ... } else if (scp->request_bufflen) { ... } You'll find a line setting these parameters in each of the cases of the if statement. So the bug appears to be that there's a missing else clause to this if, which would initialise the zero transfer commands. Is that a correct analysis?
