From 6cf1fbd8ccd9ac4256e447084b8c7d74280b0c02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Stephen M. Cameron" Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 21:40:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cciss: Fix scsi tape io with more than 255 scatter gather elements BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/987337 commit bc67f63650fad6b3478d9ddfd5406d45a95987c9 upstream. The total number of scatter gather elements in the CISS command used by the scsi tape code was being cast to a u8, which can hold at most 255 scatter gather elements. It should have been cast to a u16. Without this patch the command gets rejected by the controller since the total scatter gather count did not add up to the right value resulting in an i/o error.
