From: Linus Torvalds Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2006 01:41:44 +0000 (-0800) Subject: Allocate 96 bytes for SCSI sense data reply X-Git-Tag: v2.6.16-rc6~108 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f716d8303345698728d9f8ce76a82a795a5be275;p=linux-2.6 Allocate 96 bytes for SCSI sense data reply The SCSI layer uses SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE (96) for the sense buffer size, even though some other code uses "sizeof(struct request_sense)" (which is 64 bytes). Allocate the buffer using the bigger of the two for safety.
