It would be strange for this assertion to trigger.

Can't find_first_bit() be used here?

I'm suspecting that the whole cmd_bitmap thing could use the bitmap API?

This large function has four callers...

Racy?  Should the the prepare_to_wait() happen before the lock is dropped?

OK.  I trust you've tested that this all does the right thing when it's sent a
signal?

'S'?  What does that mean?

GFP_NOIO would be more meaningful.

If we can do copy_from_user() here then that blk_get_request() could have used
GFP_KERNEL.

hm, queue_dma_alignment() is an ugly thing.  queue_dma_aligned(q, addr) would
be nicer.

If you expand the two above statements you get:

	spin_lock_irqsave(q->queue_lock, flags);
	__elv_add_request(q, rq, where, plug);
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(q->queue_lock, flags);
	spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock);
	__generic_unplug_device(q);
	spin_unlock_irq(q->queue_lock);

which is a bit sad.

Would it be useful to reap the completed commands earlier?  While their
predecessors are still in flight?

You wanted IS_ERR(), I think.

If so, that can't trigger.

yowch, this sg_io_hdr thing is cast in stone, isn't it?

No, looking at bsg_open() I don't think it is.

Is this function temporary?  If not, you might want to optimise out the
double copy_from_user().

Those assignments-to-NULL are a bit unnecessary - CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB will catch
use-after-frees (and setting them to NULL might actively hide bugs).

__GFP_ZERO, perhaps.

Isn't this racy?  Someone can still find this device on bsg_device_list[]

This can be called outside the lock.

Can this driver be used for pagecache or swap I/O?  If so, doing GFP_KERNEL
allocations while holding the lock might be a problem.  (OK, probably it's not
deadlocky, but still - do it outside the lock).

This might not null-terminate bd->name.

The switch's body could be moved a tabstop to the left.

Again, we're probably doing GFP_KERNEL allocations with bsg_mutex held.
