I'm thinking to fix callers for v6.5 and also maybe change the > API, as I described. As I alluded to in the tracing thread, I'd like to see SK/ASC/ASCQ being generally available in the scsi_cmnd results instead of all this sense buffer and sense header micromanagement in every caller. That's a pretty heavy lift, though. Short term we need all callers to be fixed up. I'm not a particularly big fan of scsi_execute_cmd() zeroing something being passed in. I wonder if it would be worth having a DECLARE_SENSE_HEADER()? -- Martin K. Petersen Oracle Linux Engineering
