The kernel supports two different "SCSI generic" pseudo-devices, each ofwhich allows user space to send arbitrary commands to a SCSI-attacheddevice.

In thecase of one of those drivers, these problems seem almost certain to lead to theremoval of a significant chunk of functionality in the 4.19 developmentcycle.
