From 0de57fb93b1daaeaecb658a98b3299ae460c02e9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2009 07:00:41 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] ide-tape: remove back-to-back REQUEST_SENSE detection Impact: fix an oops which always triggers ide_tape_issue_pc() assumed drive->pc isn't NULL on invocation when checking for back-to-back request sense issues but drive->pc can be NULL and even when it's not NULL, it's not safe to dereference it once the previous command is complete because pc could have been freed or was on stack. Kill back-to-back REQUEST_SENSE detection.
