[PATCH] USB storage: Fix scatter-gather buffer access in usb-storage core
This patch adds a routine to protocol.c that correctly transfers data to or from a scatter-gather buffer. According to Jens Axboe, we've been using page_address() incorrectly -- it's necessary to use kmap() instead -- and in fact it doesn't give the desired result when the buffers are located in high memory. This could affect anyone using a system with 1 GB or more of RAM, and one user has already reported such a problem (as you know). The three fixup routines in protocol.c and usb.c have been changed to use the new s-g access routine. When similar adjustments have been made to all the subdrivers, we will be able to eliminate the raw_bulk.c source file entirely.
