One of the issues we had was reverting the midlayers lun value into the 8byte lun value that we wanted to send to the device. Historically, there's been some combination of byte swapping, setting high/low, etc. There's also been no common thread between how our driver did it and others. I also got very confused as to why byteswap routines were being used. Anyway, this patch is a LLDD-callable function that reverts the midlayer's lun value, stored in an int, to the 8-byte quantity (note: this is not the real 8byte quantity, just the same amount that scsilun_to_int() was able to convert and store originally). This also solves the dilemma of the thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112116767118981&w=2 A patch for the lpfc driver to use this function will be along in a few days (batched with other patches). -- james diff -upNr scsi-misc-2.6-20050713.ORIG/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c scsi-misc-2.6-20050713/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c --- scsi-misc-2.6-20050713.ORIG/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c 2005-07-13 20:52:25.000000000 -0400 +++ scsi-misc-2.6-20050713/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c 2005-07-13 20:52:25.000000000 -0400 @@ -1000,6 +1000,38 @@ static int scsilun_to_int(struct scsi_lu } /** + * int_to_scsilun: reverts an int into a scsi_lun + * @int: integer to be reverted + * @scsilun: struct scsi_lun to be set. + * + * Description: + * Reverts the functionality of the scsilun_to_int, which packed + * an 8-byte lun value into an int.
