However, there are two other patchsets pending (EH Deadline and

None of these patchset had received any feedback from James
Bottomley, let alone any indication if or when they'll be merged.
So I stopped sending further patchsets, sensing some communication
breakdown on the line.
Maybe we'll need to start a common scsi staging tree for all patches
that have gotten a wide amount of reviews and are interesting to many
parties. Thay way we have one common set of patches for the
distributions to pull from, and a tree to develop against where
dependencies between the patchsets exist.
Sounds like a good idea. Like Hannes I have several patches
that haven't been rejected but seem to have been lost in
the process:
- expand the SG_SCSI_RESET ioctl() to include non reset
escalating variants
- permit the sg driver to accept SCSI cdbs greater than
16 bytes long (bsg already can)
Also I have done some work in sg3_utils to support 64 bit
LUNs in Linux. That work assumes the solution proposed by Hannes.
