Tomo, Please find an updated version of the COMPARE-AND-WRITE patch containing your suggestions; Fix a bug in COMPARE-AND-WRITE. If the compare fails, we have to abort with a sense code immediately and we should NOT continue to over-write the backing store with the mismatching data. IF the data is not matching, we also should compute at which offset the first mismatch in the buffer occurs. This is to be reported in the INFORMATION field (bytes 3-7) in the sense buffer in a later patch. v2: - Use kernel style comments - Simplify the compare loop regards ronnie sahlberg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
