All, Here's a first-pass run for submission-review of the qla4xxx driver for QLogic's ISP4010 and ISP4022 products. The patchset breaks-down as follows: o Driver definitions o initialisation routines o OS integration files o iSNS routines o ISR routines o Mailbox routines o Support routines o Settings There's still quite a bit of work to do: - All command-queueing has been removed, so cable-pulls cannot be tolerated. We need to complete the iSCSI transport integration (which seems to no be present). Are the iSCSI block()/unblock() routines moving forward similarly to FC and now SAS? Mike Christie had submitted patches: [PATCH] add block/unblock to iscsi class http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=111201856631844&w=2 some time back. Why were the patches dropped?
The class we have today in mainline and that patch was for the iscsi_sfnet driver. The open-iscsi driver in James's iscsi tree has a updated class. It is geared twords open-iscsi's design and so it has some things that may not work so well for qla4xxx off the bat due to what could live in userspace for us and what you do in firmware and where the scsi_host is allocated etc.
