Aaand, I can't do this and leave it in drivers/scsi because of drivers/Makefile: obj-$(CONFIG_SCSI) += scsi/ So: this needs to live in block/ just like CONFIG_BLK_SCSI_REQUEST's scsi_ioctl.c. I will split it into CONFIG_BLK_SCSI_SENSE, but I'll still need to move the code from drivers/scsi/ to block/. Is this okay? -Kees -- Kees Cook Pixel Security
