Since the need for a special flag to support SCSI passthrough on a block device was added in May 2017 the SCSI passthrough support in virtio-blk has been disabled. It has always been a bad idea (just ask the original author..) and we have virtio-scsi for proper passthrough. The feature also never made it into the virtio 1.0 or later specifications.

Most users of BLOCK_PC requests allocate the sense buffer on the stack, so to avoid DMA to the stack copy them to a field in the heap allocated virtblk_req structure. Without that any attempt at SCSI passthrough I/O, including the SG_IO ioctl from userspace will crash the kernel. Note that this includes running tools like hdparm even when the host does not have SCSI passthrough enabled.
