Hello Christoph,
Why have the scsi_release_buffers() and scsi_put_command(cmd) calls been
moved up? I haven't found an explanation for this change in the patch
description.
Please also consider to remove the cmd->request->special = NULL assignments
via this patch. Since this patch makes the lifetime of struct scsi_cmnd and
struct request identical these assignments are no longer needed.
This patch introduces the function scsi_exit_rq(). Having two functions
for the single-queue path that release resources (scsi_release_buffers()
and scsi_exit_rq()) is confusing. Since every scsi_release_buffers() call
is followed by a blk_unprep_request() call, have you considered to move
the scsi_release_buffers() call into scsi_unprep_fn() via an additional
patch?
Thanks,
Bart.
