Cover letter [PATCH 0/6] pvSCSI (SCSI pass through) driver
Keir-san,
I have finished the modification of the driver by option i.). The pvSCSI driver can work on heterogeneous (x86_32 and x86_64) environment.
I will attach total six patches on following mail.
Best regards,

Anyway, the right answer is to ensure that your structures compile the same whether compiled with 32-bit or 64-bit gcc. Check the structure sizes, fields sizes and field offsets.
You showed me two options in previous email; i.) all the shared-memory structures defined in
vscsiif.hcompile identically for 32-bit and 64-bit mode, ii.) to detect the frontend's 'bitness' in scsiback and optionally do 32-to-64 or 64-to-32 conversion.Quoted 7 lines

I consider that current VBD implementation takes option ii.), however you recommended me to take option i.) for pvSCSI driver. Is my understanding right?
Yes. It was an accident we ended up with structures compiling differently on 32- vs 64-bit. By the time we discovered it was an issue, we couldn't break backward compatibility.
I understood. I'll try to modify the pvSCSI driver by option i.).
Best regards,
