I found the read a. determined by VFS -> block layer, b. Block layer put it in queue c. call scsi pre-queue function to usb layer. That mean if I try to read sector from usb devices, I have to create a queue and follow above b) and c) rule. is there any already kernel API I can use? sincerely appreciate all yours help, -- 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
