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 Series part I contains core SCSI midlayer, libata, and libsas changes to queue libsas "slow" tasks as requests. Series part II of this series focused on changing libata to queue internal commands as requests. Testing: QEMU with AHCI with disk and cdrom attached, hisi_sas, pm8001.
