Roland, as proposed in the past, how about moving the iSER and SRP drivers to drivers/scsi? As you said, they straddle in SCSI and IB worlds, however, they are just LLDs like iscsi_tcp, which straddle in SCSI and TCP worlds. That would help to avoid coordinatation issues too. - : 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
