Hi all
I've searched for some time, but haven't found anything - is there a
generic posibility to inject requests into (block) device's request queue
from the user space? I know, there are some cdrom, scsi (sg_io?) ioctls,
maybe others, but I haven't found any common methods independent from the
device type. Ideally, it shouldn't even be an ioctl. Should work with scsi
(all transports), [sp]ata, atapi, loopback, fd, sg, st (though character,
still using block queues).
If there isn't such a thing, wouldn't it be desired? Maybe as a
filesystem?
Thanks
Guennadi
