Assche) This work offers a proof-of-concept but it needs further refinement for sure. The proposed open-coded SCSI code (in patch 2's drivers/md/dm-scsi_ioctl.c) is well beyond what I'm willing to take in DM. If this type of functionality is still needed (for kvm's SCSI passthru snafu) then more work is needed to negotiate proper interfaces with the SCSI subsystem (added linux-scsi to cc, odd they weren't engaged on this). Does it make sense to extend the SCSI device handler interface to add the required enablement? (I think it'd have to if this line of work is to ultimately get upstream).
