Subject[PATCH 1/2] cciss: Fix scsi tape io with more than 255 scatter gather elements
From
Date
From: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron@beardog.cce.hp.com>

The total number of scatter gather elements in the CISS command
used by the scsi tape code was being cast to a u8, which can hold
at most 255 scatter gather elements. It should have been cast to
a u16. Without this patch the command gets rejected by the controller
since the total scatter gather count did not add up to the right
value resulting in an i/o error.
