Of course I will follow the SubmittingPatches guideline for future patches, sorry for not doing it for that patch. I don't send this mail in the recommended form because the patch is already added to the mm tree and I want to avoid a duplicate (or does it not happen?). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [PATCH] gdth: remove the scsi_request interface from the gdth driver From: Achim Leubner I removed all scsi_allocate_request()/scsi_release_request() calls and all scsi_request structures from the driver and I replaced scsi_do_req() call with a direct call to gdth_queuecommand() to send the request. Furthermore I made some changes to preserve compatibility to the 2.4.x kernels.
