Christoph Hellwig 17cb960f29 bsg: split handling of SCSI CDBs vs transport requeues
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.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
