Subject: [BUG 2.6.20.1] in drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c

Hi All,

please connect a memstick/pendrive to the usb port and try to read 
/proc/scsi/usb-storage/<#> in 2 ways:


int main ( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
	char c, buffer[20000];
	int fd, i;

	fd = open ( argv[1],  O_RDONLY, 0 );
	if ( fd >= 0 )
		{
		while ( read ( fd, &c , 1 ) > 0 )
			{
			write ( 1, &c, 1 );
			}
		close ( fd );
		}
	fd = open ( argv[1],  O_RDONLY, 0 );
	if ( fd >= 0 )
		{
		while ( (i = read ( fd, &buffer[0] , 20000 )) > 0 )
			{
			write ( 1, &buffer[0], i );
			}
		close ( fd );
		}
	
}

and you will get 2 results.


Error is in file drivers/usb/storage/scsiglue.c, macro SPRINTF. But we 
don't need the macro, because the buffer in 
fs/proc/generic.c:proc_file_read is one PAGE.
Solution is:
