SCSI subsystem top-level directory

The umbrella directory for Linux's SCSI stack, holding the shared core code along with dozens of individual host bus adapter and transport drivers underneath it. It covers everything from parallel SCSI and SAS to Fibre Channel and iSCSI plumbing that storage devices ride on.

recommendation

This is not actually a single driver directory; it is the root of the entire SCSI subsystem, containing the shared core plus many independent host adapter and transport drivers. Any keep-or-remove decisions belong with the individual subdirectories, not with this aggregate path.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: this is the top-level SCSI subsystem directory containing multiple distinct host/transport drivers plus shared core code, not one kernel-bound hardware driver.
