[PATCH] bug in scsi debug code

From: Rajagopal Ananthanarayanan (ananth@sgi.com)
Date: Wed Feb 28 2001 - 15:06:01 EST


A small fix in dump_stats() (scsi_merge.c) invoked when (struct req)
has inconsistent number of segments. The list formed
by b_reqnext is null terminated, so the current code is
simply wrong: it can cause a oops if (req->bh) is NULL,
or it fails to print the last element in the b_reqnext chain.
