Hi All, I have a query regarding the "scsi_request" data structure in linux kernel. There is a comment on the top of definition of "scsi_request" (linux/scsi/scsi_request.h) which reads: http://lxr.linux.no/source/include/scsi/scsi_request.h#L19 13 * This is essentially a slimmed down version of Scsi_Cmnd. The point of 14 * having this is that requests that are injected into the queue as result 15 * of things like ioctls and character devices shouldn't be using a 16 * Scsi_Cmnd until such a time that the command is actually at the head 17 * of the queue and being sent to the driver. 18 */ Please help me understand (or give me some pointer) why requests issued through "scsi_request" only needs to go at the head of the queue? Is it not possible to insert it in between queue (like after sorting). Kinldy let me know if i am missing something. I will appreciate if somebody can give me some pointers to understand the above point Thanks ~Amrut - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
