You continue to misunderstand basic stuff about the SCSI core. Let me repeat: LSI/MPT is not the norm and USB/SAS/SBP, i.e. having an actual transport layer (handling transport tasks, and error recovery) is the norm. Don't make stupid bullshit generalizations that I "continue to misunderstand basic stuff about the SCSI core". I've probably misunderstood that LUNs are 32 bit (since SCSI Core says so) and that REQUEST SENSE clears ACA? I remember answering your questions on task set aborting several years ago on linux-scsi. > We are trying to support all these crazy configurations... at once :) Oh, I'm well aware of what you're trying to do. But since the layers are completely upside down one compared to the other, it would be quite messy unless you can separate the implementations and at one or the other (but not both) include a basic emulator. If there is no basic emulator then that part would have to be taken by the LLDD. It would be messy.
