When SCSI HBA device drivers are required to process an ATA internal

to set aside a set of tags for these sorts of IOs and manage the tags
themselves.

If we associate a SCSI command (and request) with an ATA internal command
then the tag is already provided, so introduce the change to send ATA
internal commands through the block layer with a set of custom blk-mq ops.

note: I think that the timeout handling needs to be fixed up.

Any reason to not just send them through an ATA_16 passthrough CDB and
just use all the normal SCSI command handling?

.

No reason that I know about.

TBH, I was hoping that someone woud have a better idea on how to do this as what I was doing was messy.

Let me check it.
