Surely, the first patch looks fine. I thought that you want to send all SCSI commands to your in-kernel target code via SG_IO. That's, you want the proper 'pass-through' code since tgt's pass-through code is broken. However, looks like non I/O commands are still performed in user-space tgt code and only I/O commands goes to kernel via SG_IO. Hmm, that's what you want to do? -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
