   History:
    Started: Aug 9 by Lawrence Foard ([email protected]), to allow user
     process control of SCSI devices.

Original driver (sg.h):
*       Copyright (C) 1992 Lawrence Foard
Version 2 and 3 extensions to driver:
*       Copyright (C) 1998 - 2006 Douglas Gilbert

    Version: 3.5.34 (20060920)
    This version is for 2.6 series kernels.

    For a full changelog see http://www.torque.net/sg

Map of SG verions to the Linux kernels in which they appear:
       ----------        ----------------------------------
       original          all kernels < 2.2.6
       2.1.40            2.2.20
       3.0.x             optional version 3 sg driver for 2.2 series
       3.1.17++          2.4.0++
       3.5.30++          2.6.0++

Major new features in SG 3.x driver (cf SG 2.x drivers)
    - SG_IO ioctl() combines function if write() and read()
    - new interface (sg_io_hdr_t) but still supports old interface
    - scatter/gather in user space, direct IO, and mmap supported

 The normal action of this driver is to use the adapter (HBA) driver to DMA
 data into kernel buffers and then use the CPU to copy the data into the 
 user space (vice versa for writes). That is called "indirect" IO due to 
 the double handling of data. There are two methods offered to remove the
 redundant copy: 1) direct IO and 2) using the mmap() system call to map
 the reserve buffer (this driver has one reserve buffer per fd) into the
 user space. Both have their advantages.
 In terms of absolute speed mmap() is faster. If speed is not a concern, 
 indirect IO should be fine. Read the documentation for more information.

 ** N.B. To use direct IO 'echo 1 > /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio' or
         'echo 1 > /sys/module/sg/parameters/allow_dio' is needed.
         That attribute is 0 by default. **
 
 Historical note: this SCSI pass-through driver has been known as "sg" for 
 a decade. In broader kernel discussions "sg" is used to refer to scatter
 gather techniques. The context should clarify which "sg" is referred to.

 Documentation
 =============
 A web site for the SG device driver can be found at:
    http://www.torque.net/sg  [alternatively check the MAINTAINERS file]
 The documentation for the sg version 3 driver can be found at:
    http://www.torque.net/sg/p/sg_v3_ho.html
 This is a rendering from DocBook source [change the extension to "sgml"
 or "xml"]. There are renderings in "ps", "pdf", "rtf" and "txt" (soon).
 The SG_IO ioctl is now found in other parts kernel (e.g. the block layer).
 For more information see http://www.torque.net/sg/sg_io.html

 The older, version 2 documents discuss the original sg interface in detail:
    http://www.torque.net/sg/p/scsi-generic.txt
    http://www.torque.net/sg/p/scsi-generic_long.txt
 Also available: <kernel_source>/Documentation/scsi/scsi-generic.txt

 Utility and test programs are available at the sg web site. They are 
 packaged as sg3_utils (for the lk 2.4 and 2.6 series) and sg_utils
 (for the lk 2.2 series).
