All ublk commands(control, IO) should have taken ioctl command encoding from the beginning, because ioctl command encoding defines each code uniquely, so driver can figure out wrong command sent from userspace easily; 2) it might help security subsystem for audit uring cmd[1]. Unfortunately we didn't do that way, and it could be one lesson for ublk driver. So switch to ioctl command encoding now, we still support commands encoded in old way, but they become legacy definition. Any new command should take ioctl encoding. See ublksrv code for switching to ioctl command encoding in [2].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
