This is for for the next kernel window (v2.6.26). It is based on top of both scsi-misc and scsi-rc-fixes. Once scsi-misc rebases to scsi-rc-fixes this patch can be committed. Boaz --- From: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2008 17:42:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] gdth: Use scsi_get_command for gdth internal commands use scsi_get_command() in __gdth_execute() of internal commands for two reasons. - To be insulated from future scsi-ml changes and the way scsi_cmnd is structured / allocated. - Hold onto the scsi_device while executing since execution can come from user-mode management SW through the gdth char device.
