Since the version 2 driver, the state of the driver can be found with 'cat /proc/scsi/sg/debug'. As the driver becomes more threaded and IO faster (e.g. scsi_debug with a command timer of 5 microseconds), the existing state dump can become misleading as the state can change during the "snapshot". The new approach in this patch is to allocate a buffer of SG_PROC_DEBUG_SZ bytes and use scnprintf() to populate it. Only when the whole state is captured (or the buffer fills) is the output to the caller's terminal performed. The previous approach was line based: assemble a line of information and then output it.
Hmm. The whole '/proc' business is considered deprecated, and new (or updated) drivers should be moving to debugfs. Wouldn't it be better to do that, and deprecate /proc/sg, seeing that you are rewriting the entire driver anyway?
