Hello, I am writing a kernel module that will send read/write requests to block device. If I have the name of the block device (e.g /dev/sda), then: 1. How do I find the "request_queue" of the block device to pass to __make_request. 2. My understanding is that once I have the request_queue, all I need to do is call __make_request to have the block device complete the operation. Is this accurate? 3. Do I need to do any sort of reservation/locking of the block device before I access it (send it commands). Thank you in advance, Ahmed. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
