You mean Linux Kernel Mailing List ?
That's a nice place to get your head bitten off.
At least if you have not done all reasonable research
about your problem and invested some ingeniosity.

Beware. Just thinking about posting to LKML can
have severe conesquences:
In december 2005 i prepared a petition, to ask for
CD TAO burning in the kernel after yet another flame war
between cdrecord's author and the kernel eminencies.
The research yielded that there was a half-dead library
project called libburn. In august 2006 i found myself
as main developer of a fork. Not actually a fork, because
the old branch did not move on.
I never finished that petition.

For the multi-SG_IO problem one would have to find
out where the change to the worse was applied, by whom
and for what reason.
>From a short expedition into the antique ex-Linux SCSI
and IDE drivers of Hurd, i know that it's all queue
driven. A nightmare to follow in the code. today's code
is probably much more advanced and artful.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
