Now that each scsi_request is backed by a scsi_cmnd, there is no need to indirect the CDB storage. Change all submitters of SCSI passthrough requests to store the CDB information directly in the scsi_cmnd, and while doing so allocate the full 32 bytes that cover all Linux supported SCSI hosts instead of requiring dynamic allocation for > 16 byte CDBs. On 64-bit systems this does not change the size of the scsi_cmnd at all, while on 32-bit systems it slightly increases it for now, but that increase will be made up by the removal of the remaining scsi_request fields.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
