Hi Christoph,
There are more users in the Linux kernel of bio_add_pc_page() than only
bio_map_kern(), e.g. the SCSI target pass-through code
(drivers/target/target_core_pscsi.c). The code that uses bio_map_kern()
is in patch 22/26: "block/rnbd: server: functionality for IO submission
to file or block dev". Isn't that use case similar to the SCSI
pass-through code? I think the RNBD server code also implements storage
target functionality.
Thanks,
Bart.
