This approach sounds interesting but could be challenging to implement. With this approach it would no longer be safe to access the SCSI command state from interrupt nor from tasklet context. That means that the I/O completion path would have to be modified such that instead of using an IPI to invoke a tasklet at the CPU that submitted the SCSI command a new mechanism would have to be used that causes the I/O completion code to run directly on the context of the thread that submitted the SCSI command.
