Hi all,
/proc/scsi/scsi currently has a very dumb implementation of the seq_file
api which causes 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' to return with -ENOMEM when a
large amount of devices are connected.
This patch impelements the proper seq_file interface which prints out
all devices sequentially.
The use of 'get_device()/put_device()' is interesting, as it relies on
->show being called after a successful call to ->start / ->next.
But the current seq_file implementation does it that way; and using
->stop doesn't quite work as it's end up being called several times for
no appearent reason.
But I'm all ears for a better solution.
Cheers,
Hannes

Subject: cat /proc/scsi/scsi crashes with 'out of memory'
Reference: 75899
'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' returns 'out of memory' when a large number of devices
is connected. This is due to the use of the simple interface into seq_file
which tries to allocate a buffer holding _all_ devices.
This patch converts the proc interface to use the seq_file API properly.
