I was patching up the cpqfc driver to compile again in the 2.5.27
kernel, which was easy enough, or so I thought, until I noticed
this in scsi.c:
> * This function is deprecated, and drivers should be
> * rewritten to use Scsi_Request instead of Scsi_Cmnd.
> */
>
> Scsi_Cmnd *scsi_allocate_device(Scsi_Device * device, int wait,
> int interruptable)
So, I'm wondering if anyone has written anything up to help
low-level scsi driver maintainers know what is needed to
accomplish this rewrite? Probably I can figure it out myself,
(eventually) but I'm always left with a nagging feeling maybe
I missed something crucial. A summary of the types of things
that need to change would be most helpful, if such a thing exists.
I stumbled onto this: http://gear.torque.net/scsi/scsi_stat25.html
but it doesn't seem to mention Scsi_Request, the rationale
for the change and what is expected of the low-level driver
maintainers.
Any pointers appreciated, Thanks,
