Actually the situation about private data in scsi_cmnd is worse, there's another private data, that's the scsi_pointer structure embedded as SCp member. If we're going to fix up naming we should find a way to fixup both an have a sensible name for both embedded and out of struct private data. I somehow doubt it's going to happen before we drop support for gcc 2.95 and thus can use anonymous unions :) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
