sg: add SG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL flag
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When the SG_IO ioctl was copied into the block layer and
later into the bsg driver, subtle differences emerged.

One difference is the way injected commands are queued through
the block layer (i.e. this is not SCSI device queueing nor SATA
NCQ). Summarizing:
   - SG_IO in the block layer: blk_exec*(at_head=false)
   - sg SG_IO: at_head=true
   - bsg SG_IO: at_head=true

Some time ago Boaz Harrosh introduced a sg v4 flag called
BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL to override the bsg driver default.
This patch does the equivalent for the sg driver.

ChangeLog:
     Introduce SG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL flag to cause commands
     to be injected into the block layer with
     at_head=false.
