I'd like this * to be moved to SCSI Core, but SCSI Core has no concept of a "SCSI * device with a SCSI Target port". A SCSI device with a SCSI Target * port is a device which the _transport_ found, but other than that, * the transport has little or _no_ knowledge about the device. * Ideally, a LLDD would register a "SCSI device with a SCSI Target * port" with SCSI Core and then SCSI Core would do LU discovery of * that device. So what does this mean except "Luben tries to impress everyone with standards gibberish, at the same time ignoring we soluitions that work despite maybe not 100% elegant". Sure, we'd like to move away from needing the ->id target id specifier. But right now we need it, even you're code sets it in over-complicated ways. But if you send a nice patch to get rid everyone will be happy. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
