Hi Greg, Thanks for your response. >> What is "6.5/scsi-fixes"? 6.5/scsi-fixes is a branch on Martin K Petersen's repo. I see now that there's a new branch: 6.6/scsi-fixes. >> It doesn't apply as-is so how did you test this on the 6.5 tree? Please provide a working, and tested, backport and we will be glad to queue it up for the stable trees. I had previously tested the patch on Martin's 6.5/scsi-fixes tree. However, I saw that there is a new tree: 6.6/scsi-fixes, and the patch has been applied there. I needed to submit a new patch which was dependent on these changes. So, I ported my new patch to 6.6/scsi-fixes and tested it there. So, please ignore this request for a backport. I have submitted my new patch based off the 6.6/scsi-fixes tree.
