Description Ananth Mavinakayanahalli 2008-03-05 10:11:46 UTC 
scsi_cmnd->request_buffer has been removed from 2.6.25-rc*. The scsi tests fail
'cos of this.

The scsi tapset needs to be updated to reflect the same.

What is the preferred method for a case where the tapset provided certain fields
that are no longer available? Backward compatibility cannot be a major factor,
since redesign of certain subsystems may mean certain variables earlier
available in the tapset are no longer accessible.

commit 10202d146ce3d8cbd427a3724b6adc04ef43616e, a long while ago.
Comment 2 David Smith 2009-11-18 21:52:38 UTC 
Since Wenji discovered the problem has been fixed in comment #2 and the
buildok/scsi* tests pass these days on rhel5 and rawhide, let's mark this one as
fixed.
