For example tcm_fc:
tag = sbitmap_queue_get(&se_sess->sess_tag_pool, &cpu);
if (tag < 0)
goto busy;
cmd = &((struct ft_cmd *)se_sess->sess_cmd_map)[tag];
or qla2xxx:
tag = sbitmap_queue_get(&se_sess->sess_tag_pool, &cpu);
if (tag < 0)
return NULL;
cmd = &((struct qla_tgt_cmd *)se_sess->sess_cmd_map)[tag];
The core doesn't know at what offset from the pointer to store the tag
& cpu. Only the individual drivers know their cmd layout.
