(See the discussion in the previous thread). Because here we use the same mechanism set up for commands and just couple a sense with it's command. If one changes then it will be easier to keep in sync. (and it is a few cycles less) Tomo one more nitpicking. If you just call scsi_setup_command_sense_buffer() from scsi_setup_command_freelist() (Same with free/destroy) then they can be static and the changes to scsi_priv.h & hosts.c will not be needed. Hence it will not add more complexity to the error handling in scsi_host_alloc(). I'm still working on an on-demand-sense-allocation, but it is more complicated then what we need right now for 2.6.25. I recommend to include this patch for the next kernel. I will RFC my proposal later, once I'm happy with its outcome. And the hacks are down to none.
