3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: "Stephen M. Cameron" <[email protected]> commit bc67f63650fad6b3478d9ddfd5406d45a95987c9 upstream. The total number of scatter gather elements in the CISS command used by the scsi tape code was being cast to a u8, which can hold at most 255 scatter gather elements. It should have been cast to a u16. Without this patch the command gets rejected by the controller since the total scatter gather count did not add up to the right value resulting in an i/o error.
