Do these new ioctls provide any functionality that is not yet provided by SG_IO + SG_SCSI_RESET_BUS?

Additionally, mixing driver-internal and user space definitions in a single header file is not OK. Definitions of data structures and ioctls that are needed by user space software should occur in a header file in the directory include/uapi/scsi/.

What functionality does this ioctl provide that is not yet provided by SG_IO?

+#define SPRAID_DRV_VERSION	"1.0.0.0"

Although many Linux kernel drivers include a version number, a version number is only useful in an out-of-tree driver and not in an upstream driver. The Linux kernel itself already has a version number.

+MODULE_AUTHOR("Ramaxel Memory Technology");

My understanding is that the MODULE_AUTHOR argument should mention the name of a person. From include/linux/module.h:

/*
 * Author(s), use "Name <email>" or just "Name", for multiple
 * authors use multiple MODULE_AUTHOR() statements/lines.
 */
#define MODULE_AUTHOR(_author) MODULE_INFO(author, _author)

Thanks,

Bart.
