For example, like the iSCSI target code, when it start, it should find all
SCSI disks or tapes link in order to export to client side. It need the
scsi_device pointer in order to send requests to it. That is why I need
it. Is there a formal way to find a scsi_device pointer by its lun, host
id, ... or by block layer major number and minor number?
There is a process by which it can be found, but it's too long to do on
each command. That means you need to hold a pointer to the device open
to make this not be a performance slug. What are you doing to hold a
refcount on the devices you grab the pointer for so that they don't get
freed without you knowing it?
P.S. - Enabling word wrap in your mailer would be most appreciated.
