Subject: [PATCH linux-misc-2.6] scsi: remove volatile from scsi data structures
Date: Sun, 10 Apr 2005 13:14:04 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050410041404.GA24158@htj.dyndns.org> (raw)

 Hello, James.
 Hello, Christoph.

 This patch removes volatile qualifier from scsi_device->device_busy,
Scsi_Host->host_busy and ->host_failed as the volatile qualifiers
don't serve any purpose now.  While at it, convert those fields from
unsigned short to unsigned int as suggested by Christoph.
