Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]> I note that in this case, the bug exists and is fixed by your patch on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels. I am unsure whether it is correct that this driver along with 3w-9xxx.c and 3w-sas.c, but unlike all others, uses local time instead of UTC, but your patch does not change that. -- 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
