I discovered I was looking in the wrong place - not being very familiar with git terminology. I found them and it looks right. I had a bit of a look at removing bio_data and ->buffer ... the usages outside of drivers/ide are fairly easy to deal with - I might send a patch for that. The drivers/ide stuff looks like a fairly substantial rewrite is in order. e.g. idefloppy_packet_command_s seems to duplicate a lot of fields from 'struct request', and it should probably use the request struct directly. But a number of times ->buffer points to ->cmd, and there is no bio. I guess we should use bio_map_kern to make a bio? I'll see if I can come up with something.... testing it might be awkward. I have an ide cdrom I can test on. Maybe an ide disk,, but not an ide floppy :-) NeilBrown - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
