Re: arm scsi drivers

I haven't, sorry.

I have run 5.x kernels on the hardware, and do have a set of patches
kicking around for the SCSI drivers that do some cleanups. It looks
like the fixup is pretty simple from the links you've sent - using
scsi_cmd_to_rq() to get the tag.

That said, I think I may only had one SCSI drive that came anywhere
close to supported tagged queuing, so I never put much effort into
tagged command support. Both acornscsi and fas216 have it disabled
for this reason, so it's probably easier just to rip the tag code
out of these drivers.

Hi Russell,

Have you had a chance to consider the below?

Thanks

Recently we tried to remove scsi_cmnd.tags struct member [0].

However it now shows that some of the arm SCSI drivers continue to use
this [1]. I think any other driver usage of this member had been found
and removed.

The impression is that the usage of scsi_cmnd.tag in those drivers is
quite dubious.

Now checking [2], it appears that you may have had some patches for
these drivers locally.

So is that the case? Is this HW still used with bleeding edge kernels?
If so, can we fix up this tag management?
