Or is there work still to be done. I'd say about 95% done relative to my initial target. There's some trivial code moves that I have queued up after this series, and then we need to look into a proper controller state machine. But as always in Linux we have moving targets, so things could change in the future. > A good exercise would be to graft the upcoming SRIO driver and see > how that coupling works. SRIO as in Serial Rapid I/O? How does that driver differ from the PCIe one? I'd expect it to still use MMIO access, the DMA API and a similar queueing model as PCIe, in which case duplicating the whole PCIe driver would seem wasteful. Maybe you can post what you have currenly? > As part of our proposed lightstor standard (NVMe + extensions), And the specs for your SRIO transport as well as your extension.
