If so than it is not important what order they go in. Or the patchset can be submitted in two parts, with scsi and remove-of- old-API in a later stage. Or *rant* Boaz can just rebase his work again *rant*. Kiyoshi, It's OK, if you have a maintainer that is willing to accept your work then go head, My code can wait, no problem. Just resolve the resid issue in scsi_io_completion() (See my other mail) Thanks for doing this Boaz - 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
