On systems with very large numbers (> 1600 or so) of SCSI devices, cat /proc/scsi/scsi ends up failing with -ENOMEM. This is due to the show routine simply iterating over all of the devices with bus_for_each_dev(), and trying to dump all of them into the buffer at the same time. On my test system (using scsi_debug with 4064 devices), the output ends up being ~ 632k, far more than kmalloc will typically allow. This patch uses seq_file directly instead of single_file, and breaks up the operations into the 4 seq_file callbacks. The result is that each show() operation only dumps ~ 180 bytes into the buffer at a time so we don't run out of memory.
