(Hi. I am the same Ian Jackson as used to maintain the FAQ, &c, but
I'm mailing you wrt my employer's business today.)
We manufacture a SCSI processor device (for hardware acceleration of
cryptography) which needs to use LUNs 0 and 1. By default of course
Linux doesn't probe beyond LUN 0. We can get our users to set the
max_scsi_luns or CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN, but it would be much better if
we could have an entry added to the table in scsi.c to have Linux
probe the remaining LUNs automatically.
I'd therefore be grateful if you would include the following patch in
forthcoming releases (including any new 2.0.x release, if you feel it
appropriate).
If you're not the appropriate people to mail please redirect me.
I'm actually the appropriate person these days. Your patch looks entirely
reasonable for both 2.0.x and 2.1.x in my opinion, and I've forwarded it to
Linus for inclusion.
Leonard
