Hi Christoph,

Attached you find a patch to remove the scsi_request interface from the gdth driver. The patch contains your first patch, the changes for removing the scsi_request interface and some changes to preserve the 2.4.x compatibility.
We tested it and it should work fine. It would be great if it could be integrated in the 2.6.18 cycle.

Many thanks and Regards,
Achim

functions for allocating a "struct scsi_cmnd" or should we allocate it with kmalloc() or somehow like that? Or, Christoph, did you already make the second patch for the gdth driver?

help is greatly appreciated!
Sorry, I didn't have time to look at this yet. scsi_get/put_command() sems ok for now, if you have time to look at this now it would be good if you could look at it. It's too late for 2.6.17 already, but having it early in the 2.6.18 cycle would be very helpful.

Er, there was no patch contained in this forwarded message ... could you send it to linux-scsi, please.
