Hi Johannes,
Yes, there are quite a few occurrences of timeval within scsi. I had
sent some of the trivial back in the Feb-May 2015 period, and they
were ack-ed by my then mentor and a couple of other people, but not
merged or ack-ed by someone from linux-scsi. Until today, I thought
using "RESEND" would be impolite, but now I will resend the other ones
as well. Arnd Bergmann is leading this effort and may have more
insightful comments.
Thanks,
Tina
