Thank you a lot, I would update the patch's description in next version.

Would you help me to check if my understanding is correct:

Define Command opcode as x16, split this 16bit as two parts, one for actually
SCSI Command opcode,, another one for Service Action. If so, it would make this
interface complex to use. I want to make it easy and we do not need to calculate
data.

I think there are other methods to support specify a Service Action:

method1. Redefine the General rule format and append Service Action to SCSI
    command opcode as following:

   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
   | Column | Type | Description                                           |
   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
   |   1    |  u8  | Error code                                            |
   |        |      |  0: timeout SCSI command                              |
   |        |      |  1: fail queuecommand, make queuecommand return       |
   |        |      |     given value                                       |
   |        |      |  2: fail command, finish command with SCSI status,    |
   |        |      |     sense key and ASC/ASCQ values                     |
   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
   |   2    |  s32 | Error count                                           |
   |        |      |  0: this rule will be ignored                         |
   |        |      |  positive: the rule will always take effect           |
   |        |      |  negative: the rule takes effect n times where -n is  |
   |        |      |            the value given. Ignored after n times     |
   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
   |   3    |  x8  | SCSI command opcode, 0xff for all commands            |
   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
   |   4    |  x8  | specify a Service Action, 0xff for all commands       |
   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
   |  ...   |  xxx | Error type specific fields                            |
   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+

method2. define new Error code for commands which need a Service Action,
    for example: define Error code 3 as the following format to timeout a
    command commands which need a Service Action:

   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
   | Column | Type | Description                                           |
   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
   |   1    |  u8  | Fix to 3                                              |
   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
   |   2    |  s32 | Error count                                           |
   |        |      |  0: this rule will be ignored                         |
   |        |      |  positive: the rule will always take effect           |
   |        |      |  negative: the rule takes effect n times where -n is  |
   |        |      |            the value given. Ignored after n times     |
   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
   |   3    |  x8  | SCSI command opcode, 0xff for all commands            |
   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+
   |   4    |  x8  | specify a Service Action, 0xff for all commands       |
   +--------+------+-------------------------------------------------------+

   We can inject timeout error for the READ CAPACITY (16) command with following:
   echo "3 -10 0x9e 0x10" > ${error}
