Subject: Regression impacts ServeRAID II on IBM xSeries 5500

Hello Fujita-san,

This is my first time reporting a regression.  I hope I'm doing it right.

According to "git bisect," your patch
10db10d144c0248f285242f79daf6b9de6b00a62 is the first bad commit before
a regression which affects my ServeRAID II controller.  I get segfault
running ipssend, which is the program used to interrogate and configure
the SCSI RAID controller.

    ipssend[5949]: segfault at 20202020 ip b7ece8b1 sp bfce1d1c error 6 in libc-2.9.so[b7e55000+15c000]
      

Here's what git output on the final bisect:

    commit 10db10d144c0248f285242f79daf6b9de6b00a62

        sg: convert the indirect IO path to use the block layer
        
        This patch converts the indirect IO path (including mmap IO and old
        struct sg_header) to use the block layer functions (blk_get_request,
        blk_execute_rq_nowait, blk_rq_map_user, etc) instead of
        scsi_execute_async().

My machine and assistance is at your disposal.  Rather than guess what
information you want: what can I tell you?
