Subject: [PATCH 0/4] scsi_debug: add write scattered support
Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2017 20:10:04 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171212011008.27689-1-dgilbert@interlog.com> (raw)
While testing the WRITE SCATTERED command support in a new sg3_utils
utility (sg_write_x) it was helpful to have a target that supported
this command. This command might be attractive to other kernel
subsystems. Even if end devices don't support this command yet, it
would most likely be a performance win if SCSI LLDs supported it (by
breaking it down to a series of WRITE commands), as that would cut
down the overhead of the block layer, the ULD (e.g. sd) and the SCSI
midlevel.
