The current BSG design tries to shoe-horn the transport-specific passthrough commands into the overall framework for SCSI passthrough requests. This has a couple problems: - each passthrough queue has to set the QUEUE_FLAG_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH flag despite not dealing with SCSI commands at all. Because of that these queues could also incorrectly accept SCSI commands from in-kernel users or through the legacy SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl. - the real SCSI bsg queues also incorrectly accept bsg requests of the BSG_SUB_PROTOCOL_SCSI_TRANSPORT type - the bsg transport code is almost unredable because it tries to reuse different SCSI concepts for its own purpose. This patch instead adds a new bsg_ops structure to handle the two cases differently, and thus solves all of the above problems. Another side effect is that the bsg-lib queues also don't need to embedd a struct scsi_request anymore.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
