    bsg: split handling of SCSI CDBs vs transport requeues · 17cb960f
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    The current BSG design tries to shoe-horn the transport-specific
    passthrough commands into the overall framework for SCSI passthrough
    requests.  This has a couple problems:
    
     - each passthrough queue has to set the QUEUE_FLAG_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH flag
       despite not dealing with SCSI commands at all.  Because of that these
       queues could also incorrectly accept SCSI commands from in-kernel
       users or through the legacy SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl.
     - the real SCSI bsg queues also incorrectly accept bsg requests of the
       BSG_SUB_PROTOCOL_SCSI_TRANSPORT type
     - the bsg transport code is almost unredable because it tries to reuse
       different SCSI concepts for its own purpose.
    
    This patch instead adds a new bsg_ops structure to handle the two cases
    differently, and thus solves all of the above problems.  Another side
    effect is that the bsg-lib queues also don't need to embedd a
    struct scsi_request anymore.
