Please add an actual text describing why you are doing this and how
insteasd of this completely pointless revert line.

OK. And in hindsight it would have been a good opportunity to mention something which I am undecided on - that is which scsi_device to use for these reserved commands? In this series I use the scsi shost sdev for all reserved commands, but maybe we should use the target sdev. Pros of using scsi host sdev: - don't need to worry about request queue freezing - don't need to worry about running out of request queue budget - available when scsi host is added - libata adds target sdev after some internal commands are sent, and this would be a bit painful to change, however adding the sdev earlier would seem to be a good change to make Cons: - generally better to use same scsi device as target (or is it?). For example, it seems better to have reserved scsi_cmnd.device actually set to the target sdev. - don't need to add stuff like ata_is_scmd_ata_internal() later in this series Prob other reasons which I have forgot about. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this. Cheers, John

Maybe scsi_alloc_host_dev() is a better name? I think that the intention is to only use this once for a shost, i.e. get or allocate that scsi_device once and use it for the lifetime of the shost. But I can rename if you think it's better. > >> +/* >> + * These two functions are used to allocate and free a pseudo device >> + * which will connect to the host adapter itself rather than any >> + * physical device.
