I meant to reply to Luben's original, but I deleted it in disgust. As the person who converted SCSI from the old bottom-half completion processing first to a tasklet and then to a softirq, I'd like to refute at least part of this allegation. I didn't do it in order to improve SCSI particularly, satisfy Splentec (who are they?), or prove a point. I did it because I wanted to remove the old bottom-half mechanism and SCSI was one of the remaining users. That required me to learn a bit about the SCSI stack and I got sucked in. BTW, I believe at that time, James had alreeady taken over maintenance. I'm not actually sure who the previous maintainer was -- was it Eric Biederman? A colleague asked me to summarise the current dispute. I said that Luben's point was that nobody else understood SCSI. Everybody else's point was that Luben doesn't understand Linux kernel development. Luben, I think you need to shut up, accept advice, stop trying to do everything in your own driver, and stop trying to have private conversations. Just discuss things on linux-scsi dispassionately. There's no hidden agenda to get you or your company. But you are pissing people off, and very soon there *will* be because of your behaviour. - : 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
