This moves access of the host element to device since host has been
removed from struct scsi_cmnd.

Any reason we can't jump straight to the v2 driver instead of fixing
the now obsolete driver?

This is whitespace-damaged.

Please fix broken mailers. I generally don't bother to fix up whitespace
damage from people who can't bother to have a good mailer. It's just not 
worth it - if I try to fix it up (even if it is often trivial), it just 
means that people will continue to send crap patches to me.

Sorry about the bad patch.   Is an attached text file OK?

In this case the issue is not a broken mailer, but rather the improper
use of a good one.  Mark is using Evolution and so am I.  It appears
that he did a cut and paste from an xterm (or something similar) which
converted the tabs to spaces.

For other Evolution users out there, a better way to send patches with
undamaged whitespace and not line-wrapped is to choose Insert and then
Inline Text File.  This will send a Linus-compatible inlined (not
attached) patch.  

Here is Mark's patch again, sent from Evolution, and not
whitespace-damaged:

Ahh, yes. That would also do it.

[ I'm also happy to hear that Evolution does it right these days, I have
  this memory of it pruning whitespace at ends of lines by default like
  some broken versions of pine also did. But maybe it was some other
  graphical mail client. ]

Anyway, applied.

You are correct.   I wasn't thinking and did a cut/paste.

BTW, to save bandwidth and whitespace mishaps we could send patches as
scripts, just like Al Viro did once-upon-a-time.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=102669188302509&w=2

So, since this uses ex instead of vi ;), here is something to fix
the spelling of definite and separate throughout the tree.

Applied to plain 2.5.59, diffstat reports this for the 871-line diff:
63 files changed, 77 insertions(+), 77 deletions(-)

You've not tried this with a tree that has source control (either CVS, BK
or RCS) have you? It looks like it corrupts the SCM too.

I don't really mind getting scripts occasionally to do things, but they 
had better be "obviously fool-proof" for it to really be worth-while. 
Mostly it's easier to just get a diff, even if in this case the (broken) 
script is just 3 lines, and the diff would likely be 700+ lines.

I sent Linus an 880-line diff which fixed the spelling of definite and
separate in 2.5.59-bk2.  Here is the diffstat output for that diff.

Cut and paste from xterm should work fine. Cut and paste from
gnome-terminal, OTOH, will often corrupt it for you.

Bugzilla is --> that way :)

I think xterm does the same thing. I certainly refuse to use inferior 
clones (I don't understand why people even _bother_ with things like 
gnome-terminal, since it can't even do proper vt100 sequences), and I 
definitely get tab->space conversion between two xterms.

Hi,

Sorry, i posted the fix on Feb 4th, but i forgot 
 1) to include [PATCH] in the subject and 2) to send it to the
right person instead of just posting to LKML, as it's my first post :o)

The fix was attached as well and shouldn't have whitespace<->tab issue

Thanks,

Philippe

I get tab->space conversion with both xterm and rxvt.

Cut and paste from xemacs preserves tabs.

gnome-terminal should be an exact copy of the xterm codes without the
tek graphics extensions. Roughly speaking thats vt220. If you know of
any it gets wrong please file a bug report.

It should also be preserving tabs (WORKKSFORME 8)). People with 
replicable cases where it doesn't should stick them in gnome bugzilla.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org. Konsole should also have the same properties
as xterm with regard to these features.

Alan

Atul told linux-megaraid-devel last week that there's at least one important
change to the ISR interaction with firmware that needs to be made, as well
as a broken SCSI RESERVATION_STATUS command.  He is addressing these and
will submit a 2.00.3 driver soon (I hope).

Thanks,
Matt
