Power-of-2 bug in your code, or in the SCSI code? >>> Boaz, how do you send requests to the scsi-ml, via fs, sg, or bsg? These are regular fs (ext3) requests during bootup. The machine will not boot. (Usually from the read ahead code) Don't believe me look at the second patch Over Tomo's cleanup. If I define SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS to 127 it will crash even when I did in code: blk_queue_max_phys_segments(q, SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS); I suppose someone is looking at a different definition. Or there is another call I need to do for this to work. >>> >>> >>>>> If anyone wants to see I have done 2 versions of this work. One on top >>>>> of Jens's sg-chaining work (ver 5).

Sorry for the noise. This is in no way finished work Just experimenting. Any way in this git tree no one is using this macro. (git-pull of Linus tree, apply ver5, and this patch) This branch will work fine because I have not touched the numbers yet Just screwed allocations. >>>> Hmm? >>> When for_each_sg is ready, we convert scsi_for_each_sg to use >>> for_each_sg.
