HEY! andmike and patmans of @us.ibm.com YOU FUCKED UP.

For two weeks in a row you have submitted code that deliberately
breaks scsi drivers.

Could you spell out your master plan for everyone who isn't using
IBfuckingM sanctioned hardware.

>From Patrick's proposed patches for lower level changes crap.

drivers/scsi/inia100.c: In function `inia100_biosparam':
drivers/scsi/inia100.c:661: structure has no member named `host'
drivers/scsi/inia100.c:662: structure has no member named `id'
drivers/scsi/inia100.c:659: warning: `pTcb' might be used uninitialized in
this function

There are more than 3 SCSI drivers in the linux kernel and you need to fix
all of them instead of fucking N-3 of them.

Given that 99% of Linux users will never know WTF multi-pathed SCSI hosts
are, shouldn't you adjust your code to reflect this.

I am starting to remember all the reasons I hated IBM people, but then
along came the Oracle people.

mumble, mumble, it will be fixed in the next release,
mumble, mumble, it will be fixed in the next release,
mumble, mumble, it will be fixed in the next release,
mumble, mumble, it will be fixed in the next release,
mumble, mumble, it will be fixed in the next release,

Patrick, should I mention that the ('-1\t' * 9) could be
('-1\t' * 5) in sg.c, but 'suck my cock' would work as well.

enough bile for today,

I think you own these two gentlemen a great big apology.
Their changes were cleanups and relevant to everyone.

How come you didn't flame Doug Ledford or Jens Axboe
when they broke the build of a few scsi drivers due to
their changes, or anyone else for that matter?

Furthermore, even a 2 second glance by a competent C programmer
can get these driver builds fixed, in fact what you end up needing
to do is deleting the lines the compiler is complaining about.

Again, you owe these people an apology for your childish outburst.

hmmm you're talking about a development kernel, don't you ? So why are you
shouting at people who clean up the drivers that one day you'll be happy to use
on production machines ? you participation should have been :

"Hey! andmike and patmans, I inform you that your last changes broke these
drivers: <list of broken drivers>. Here is the patch to fix them : <patch>"

I really don't understand how you may reproach problems to people working on a
development kernel. This is work in progress. Nothing stable, nothing guaranted
to even compile. Perhaps you're too ignorant to understand that and bindly use
every latest kernel on all your production servers, believing it will fix any
unknown bug ?

Or perhaps you were drunk and will apologise today ?
