Does that build fully for xconfig or any others which you tried?

Well.

Would've worked if you hadn't messed up tag handling for acornscsi :-)

to be completely broken.

Consider this beauty:

#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_ACORNSCSI_TAGGED_QUEUE
       /*
        * tagged queueing - allocate a new tag to this command
        */
       if (SCpnt->device->simple_tags) {
           SCpnt->device->current_tag += 1;
           if (SCpnt->device->current_tag == 0)
               SCpnt->device->current_tag = 1;
           SCpnt->tag = SCpnt->device->current_tag;
       } else
#endif

So isn't this just using the scsi_cmnd.tag as it own scribble?


which is broken on _soo many_ counts.
Not only does it try to allocate its own tags, the code also assumes that a tag value of '0' indicates that tagged queueing is not active:


In case you missed it, Arnd B tried to clear out some old platforms earlier this year. With respect to rpc, Russell King apparently still uses it and has some SCSI patches:

I wonder what they are and maybe we can check. Anyway... I'd run any changes by him...

static
void acornscsi_abortcmd(AS_Host *host, unsigned char tag)
{
    host->scsi.phase = PHASE_ABORTED;
    sbic_arm_write(host, SBIC_CMND, CMND_ASSERTATN);

    msgqueue_flush(&host->scsi.msgs);
#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_ACORNSCSI_TAGGED_QUEUE
    if (tag)
        msgqueue_addmsg(&host->scsi.msgs, 2, ABORT_TAG, tag);
    else
#endif
        msgqueue_addmsg(&host->scsi.msgs, 1, ABORT);
}

And, of course, there's the usual confusion about when to check for
sdev->tagged_supported and sdev->simple_tags.

Drop me a note if I can give a hand.

Thanks! Let's see what happens to the series which you just sent.
