Currently SCSI low-level drivers are required to manage tags for commands which do not come via the block layer - libata internal commands would be an example of one of these. We want to make blk-mq manage these tags also. There was some work to provide "reserved commands" support in such series as https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20211125151048.103910-1-hare@xxxxxxx/ This was based on allocating a request for the lifetime of the "internal" command. This series tries to solve that problem by not just allocating the request but also sending it as a request through the block layer. Reasons to do this: - Normal flow of a request and also commonality for regular scsi command lifetime - We don't leave request and scsi_cmnd fields dangling as when we just allocate and free the request for the lifetime of the "internal" command - For poll mode support we can only poll in block layer, so could not send internal commands on poll mode queues if we did not do this, which is a problem - Can get rid of duplicated code like libsas internal command timeout handling Based on v5.19-rc1 Please consider as an PoC for now. I have broken builds, bisectablility, and functionality for a lot of libsas drivers, like pm8001. Indeed, 10/18 onwards need a lot of work...
