It currently calls scsi_cmd_blk_ioctl(), which implements a bunch of ioctl
commands, including some that are unrelated to SG_IO:
case SG_GET_VERSION_NUM:
case SCSI_IOCTL_GET_IDLUN:
case SCSI_IOCTL_GET_BUS_NUMBER:
case SG_SET_TIMEOUT:
case SG_GET_TIMEOUT:
case SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE:
case SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE:
case SG_EMULATED_HOST:
case SG_IO: {
case CDROM_SEND_PACKET:
case SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND:
case CDROMCLOSETRAY:
case CDROMEJECT:
My patch changes all callers of this function, and the idea is
to preserve the existing behavior through my series, so I think
it makes sense to keep my patch as is.
I would assume that calling scsi_cmd_blk_ioctl() is harmless
here, but if you want to remove it or limit the set of supported
commands, that should be independent of my change.
