Hi,
Some more bsg findings...
block/Kconfig:
endif # BLOCK
Shouldn't BLK_DEV_BSG depend on BLOCK?
config BLK_DEV_BSG
bool "Block layer SG support"
depends on (SCSI=y) && EXPERIMENTAL
default y
---help---
Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4
support for any block device.
block/bsg.c:
...
/*
* TODO
* - Should this get merged, block/scsi_ioctl.c will be migrated into
* this file. To keep maintenance down, it's easier to have them
* seperated right now.
*
*/
This TODO should be fixed/removed.
Firstly bsg got merged. ;) Moreover bsg depends on SCSI and scsi_ioctl doesn't.
Even if SCSI dependency is fixed bsg requires block driver to have struct
class devices which is not a case for scsi_ioctl.
...
static struct bsg_device *__bsg_get_device(int minor)
{
struct hlist_head *list = &bsg_device_list[bsg_list_idx(minor)];
bsg_device_list[] access should be done under bsg_mutex lock.
May not be a problem currently because of lock_kernel but worth fixing anyway.
struct bsg_device *bd = NULL;
struct hlist_node *entry;
mutex_lock(&bsg_mutex);
...
static int
bsg_ioctl(struct inode *inode, struct file *file, unsigned int cmd,
unsigned long arg)
{
...
case SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND: {
Do we really want to add support for this *deprecated* ioctl to
the *new* and shiny bsg driver?
void __user *uarg = (void __user *) arg;
return scsi_cmd_ioctl(file, bd->queue, NULL, cmd, uarg);
}
...
int bsg_register_queue(struct request_queue *q, const char *name)
{
...
memset(bcd, 0, sizeof(*bcd));
...
dev = MKDEV(BSG_MAJOR, bcd->minor);
class_dev = class_device_create(bsg_class, NULL, dev, bcd->dev, "%s", name);
bcd->dev is always 0 (NULL).
Is it OK to pass NULL struct device *dev argument to class_device_create()?
It should be fixed by either removing bcd->dev or by setting it to something
other than zero.

Now back to the first bsg commit 3d6392cfbd7dc11f23058e3493683afab4ac13a3:

Great to see SG_IO support being added to ide-floppy but this change has
nothing to do with the addition of bsg driver so WTF they have been mixed
within the same commit?

Could you give some details on this?

Probably the goal was to add SG_IO IOCTL support for ide-floppy but instead
it adds support for *all* scsi_ioctl.c IOCTLs to *all* IDE device drivers.
ide-{disk,scsi,tape} don't support REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests et all
(so attempts to use SG_IO, CDROM_SEND_PACKET and SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND
will result in requests being failed and error messages in the kernel logs).
Without REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC support there is no sense in supporting any other
scsi_ioctl.c IOCTLs (while at it: SG_{GET,SET}_RESERVED seems to have no
real effect in the current tree).
ide-cd already supports all scsi_ioctl.c IOCTLs through cdrom_ioctl() call.
This leaves us with ide-floppy where the above scsi_cmd_ioctl() call should
belong (we may also want to filter out deprecated SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND
and legacy CDROM_SEND_PACKET IOCTLs).
Please fix it.

This chunk is OK, handling of these IOCTLs should go to ide-floppy
(ide-cd already handles them fine).
