This patchset is the second half of the patchset to remove scsi_execute_async in st driver. IOW, this converts st driver to use the block layer functions. st driver uses scsi_execute_async for two purposes, performing sort management SCSI commands internally and data transfer between user and kernel space (st_read and st_write). The former was converted and this converts the latter. Converting st needs some minor modifications to the block layer mapping API. I slightly extended the modifications that I made when converting sg driver to use the block layer mapping API. The first and second patches are for the block layer. Jens, can I get your ACKs on them? The changes to st driver is not huge. It's just converting st to use struct rq_map_data instead of struct scatterlist. = block/blk-map.c | 16 ++-- drivers/scsi/sg.c | 2 + drivers/scsi/st.c | 282 +++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------- drivers/scsi/st.h | 14 +-- fs/bio.c | 11 ++- include/linux/blkdev.h | 2 + 6 files changed, 170 insertions(+), 157 deletions(-) -- 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
