This patch prevents scsi_ioctl_send_command() from overwriting the SEND
DIAGNOSTICS (Drive Self Test) reserved bits in cmd[1], as found in SCSI-3.
Code provided by Michael Landrus of Dell.
Comments are requested. If there are no objections, Linus and Alan please
apply.
Below are patches to kernels 2.2.18-pre8 and 2.4.0-test9-pre1.
Thanks,
