+Introduction
+============
+
+Protocol vs bus
+---------------
+
+Once upon a time, the Small Computer Systems Interface defined both a
+parallel I/O bus and a data protocol to connect a wide variety of
+peripherals (disk drives, tape drives, modems, printers, scanners,
+optical drives, test equipment, and medical devices) to a host computer.
+
+Although the old parallel (fast/wide/ultra) SCSI bus has largely fallen
+out of use, the SCSI command set is more widely used than ever to
+communicate with devices over a number of different busses.
+
+The `SCSI protocol <http://www.t10.org/scsi-3.htm>`__ is a big-endian
+peer-to-peer packet based protocol. SCSI commands are 6, 10, 12, or 16
+bytes long, often followed by an associated data payload.
+
+SCSI commands can be transported over just about any kind of bus, and
+are the default protocol for storage devices attached to USB, SATA, SAS,
+Fibre Channel, FireWire, and ATAPI devices. SCSI packets are also
+commonly exchanged over Infiniband,
+`I20 <http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/faq.php>`__, TCP/IP
+(`iSCSI <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCSI>`__), even `Parallel
+ports <http://cyberelk.net/tim/parport/parscsi.html>`__.
+
+Design of the Linux SCSI subsystem
+----------------------------------
+
+The SCSI subsystem uses a three layer design, with upper, mid, and low
+layers. Every operation involving the SCSI subsystem (such as reading a
+sector from a disk) uses one driver at each of the 3 levels: one upper
+layer driver, one lower layer driver, and the SCSI midlayer.
+
+The SCSI upper layer provides the interface between userspace and the
+kernel, in the form of block and char device nodes for I/O and ioctl().
+The SCSI lower layer contains drivers for specific hardware devices.
+
+In between is the SCSI mid-layer, analogous to a network routing layer
+such as the IPv4 stack. The SCSI mid-layer routes a packet based data
+protocol between the upper layer's /dev nodes and the corresponding
+devices in the lower layer. It manages command queues, provides error
+handling and power management functions, and responds to ioctl()
+requests.

+================
+
+Host Bus Adapter transport types
+--------------------------------
+
+Many modern device controllers use the SCSI command set as a protocol to
+communicate with their devices through many different types of physical
+connections.
+
+In SCSI language a bus capable of carrying SCSI commands is called a
+"transport", and a controller connecting to such a bus is called a "host
+bus adapter" (HBA).
+
+Debug transport
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The file drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c simulates a host adapter with a
+variable number of disks (or disk like devices) attached, sharing a
+common amount of RAM. Does a lot of checking to make sure that we are
+not getting blocks mixed up, and panics the kernel if anything out of
+the ordinary is seen.
+
+To be more realistic, the simulated devices have the transport
+attributes of SAS disks.
