FWIW, the demo code I'm using to test this in a QEMU VM:

$ cat test.c
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <linux/bsg.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
  int fd = open("/dev/bsg/0:0:0:0", O_RDWR);
  if (fd == -1)
    err(1, "foo");
  __u8 buf1[255];
  __u8 request[10] = {
    [0] = 0x5a, // MODE_SENSE_10
    [2] = 0x41,
    [8] = 0x10
  };
  __u8 sense[32];
  memset(sense, 'A', sizeof(sense));
  memset(buf1, 'A', sizeof(buf1));
  struct sg_io_v4 req = {
    .guard = 'Q',
    .protocol = BSG_PROTOCOL_SCSI,
    .subprotocol = BSG_SUB_PROTOCOL_SCSI_CMD,
    .request_len = sizeof(request),
    .request = (__u64)request,
    .max_response_len = sizeof(sense),
    .response = (__u64)sense,
    .din_xfer_len = sizeof(buf1),
    .din_xferp = (__u64)buf1,
    .timeout = 1000
  };
  if (write(fd, &req, sizeof(req)) != sizeof(req))
    err(1, "write");
  printf("sense[0] after write: 0x%02hhx\n", sense[0]);

  /*
  struct sg_io_v4 resp;
  if (splice(fd, NULL, pipe_fds[1], NULL, sizeof(struct sg_io_v4), 0)

    err(1, "splice");
    */

  sleep(1);
  printf("sense[0] after sleep: 0x%02hhx\n", sense[0]);
  close(fd);
  printf("sense[0] after close: 0x%02hhx\n", sense[0]);
}
$ gcc -o test test.c -Wall && sudo ./test
