As I mentioned that HBA's can handle an 8 byte lun. But as far as the driver
is concerned, it does not populate all the level.
So if you look at the "struct cmd_type_7" iocb in qla_fw.h lun field is an 8 byte field.
struct cmd_type_7 {
.......
uint8_t lun[8]; /* FCP LUN (BE). */
.........
}
Here's the snippet
of the code where the driver builds iocb for ISP24XX in qla24xx_start_scsi():
/* Set LUN number*/
cmd_pkt->lun[1] = LSB(fclun->lun);
cmd_pkt->lun[2] = MSB(fclun->lun);
Hope this clarifies the confusion if any.
