Since using scsi_req() is only allowed against request queues for
which struct scsi_request is the first member of their private
request data, refuse to submit SCSI commands against a queue for
which this is not the case.

Is it possible we could catch this earlier and avoid giving out the
layout in the first place?
Hello Christoph,

According to what I see in commit 8650b8a05850 you are the author of this
code? Can the blk_queue_scsi_pdu(q) test fail in nfsd4_scsi_identify_device=
()?
If so, can nfsd4_layout_verify() be modified in such a way that it prevents
that nfsd4_scsi_proc_getdeviceinfo() is ever called for a non-SCSI queue?
Can you recommend an approach?

Thanks,

Bart.=
