Just understood that SCSI_DISK#_MAJOR stuff in 2.2 is nothing but a MAJOR illusion with regards to IO-request queuing.
Which is sad is that queuing hasn't been fixed in time. The current status of the code is so unreadable that probably the only way to have a chance to find a volunteer for that code is to export the Linux project to other galaxies.
Thanks for your explanations and sorry to have a so slow understanding.
Regards, Gérard.
