So I can't say that I like > it lots. Any other way to do that? > rq->buffer is intended for block-driver use as well as req->special. sd+scsi-ml is the block-driver here. req->special is used by scsi-ml and rq->buffer is set to NULL inside the call to scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd/scsi_setup_fs_cmnd. Since you set the ->buffer after the call to scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd you should be in the clear. I think scsi-ml should stop setting rq->buffer to NULL and leave it be for ULD use. It is left from the time that LLDs where converted to use BIOs, just to make sure out-of-tree drivers crash.
