After reviewing this post by Pete Wyckoff: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=117278879816029&w=2 I decided to update my sg v4 interface document originally posted 20061106 which I will now call release 1.1 : http://lwn.net/Articles/208082/ Pete was proposing to put back din_iovec_count and dout_iovec_count that had been dropped out of bsg but had been in release 1.1 . Hmm. Some other items have been picked up from the bsg implementation plus the suggestion from LSF'07 to add dout_resid. See the attachment, comments welcome. Doug Gilbert
