    SubjectSCSI over USB showstopper bug?
    Hi,

    it looks as if SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE & SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE
    are not in interaction with the underlying SCSI transport.

    Programs like readcd and cdda2wav that try to get very large SCSI
    transfer buffers get a confirmation for nearly any SCSI transfer size
    but later when readcd/cdda2wav try to transfer data with an
    actual SCSI command, they fail with ENOMEM.

    Correct fix: let sg.c make a callback to the underlying SCSI transport
    and let it get a confirmation tfor the buffer size.

    Quick and dirty fix: reduce the maximum allowed DMA size to the smallest
    max DMA size of all SCSI transports.

    Jörg
