A comment like this should be near the declaration of MAX_COMMAND_SIZE > +#define MAX_COMMAND_SIZE 16 > +#if (MAX_COMMAND_SIZE > BLK_MAX_CDB) > +# error MAX_COMMAND_SIZE can not be smaller than BLK_MAX_CDB > +#endif No tabs between the # and the rest of the cpp command, please. Either nothing or a single space as indentation instead. Except for those two small nitpicks this looks very good to me.
