If not, why do you need to tell SCSI developers how to use it again and again? Please don't say 'add comments along with the API'. Commenting doesn't fix the confusing API. People can use good API without any explanation. But it's better to live with the current API for now. We can fix the API latter. I'll read Tejun's block cleanup patchset and figure out what to do. -- 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
