Instead you need to use a TASK-management IOCB to send the requests to the firmware via the request-queue.

A reference implementation of the driver issuing a LUN-RESET via the IOCB can be found in qla24xx_lun_reset(). > c) Since current/latest driver doesnt have any code for these TMFs, > what is the exact mailbox command format for these TMFs ? -- av - : 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
