We already have req->cmd_type which actually is a fairly good description of what we get except for REQ_TYPE_FS, which is a horrible overload using req->cmd_flags. Given that you're just one of many currently ongoing patches to add more flags here I think you need to byte the bullet and fix this up by replacing REQ_TYPE_FS with: REQ_TYPE_WRITE REQ_TYPE_READ REQ_TYPE_FLUSH REQ_TYPE_DISCARD REQ_TYPE_WRITE_SAME REQ_TYPE_CMP_AND_WRITE sd.c is a nice guide of what should be a flag and what a type since my last refactoring of the command_init function. -- 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
