[RFC] [PATCH] qla4xxx driver resubmission

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is a resubmission of the qla4xxx driver for QLogic Corporation's
iSCSI HBAs. Changes from the previous submission are:

- fixed driver initialization issues during insmod
- removed all references to iSNS
- changed comments for function to doc style
- removed potential infinite loop in ql4xxx_sem_spinlock()

The complete patch for the driver is at
ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/iSCSI/upstream/5.00.05b8-k/0000-Init
ial-commit-of-qla4xxx.txt


For ease of comprehension the above patch has been broken down into the
following smaller patches:
- 0001-ISP4xxx-driver-definitions.diff
- 0002-ISP4xxx-driver-initialization-routines.diff
- 0003-ISP4xxx-driver-OS-files.diff
- 0004-ISP4xxx-driver-ISR-routines.diff
- 0005-ISP4xxx-driver-Mailbox-routines.diff
- 0006-ISP4xxx-driver-support-routines.diff 
- 0007-ISP4xxx-driver-version.diff
These are located at
ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/iSCSI/upstream/5.00.05b8-k/

Other items which needs to be done are
 - Add support for sysfs attributes.
 - Userspace support for session creation/deletion for iscsi HBAs.
 - Add support for other discovery mode ie iSNS/SLP.
 - block layer tagging 
 Patches for these would be submitted once the driver is merged
upstream.

Looking forward to comment's/feedback.

Regards,
David Somayajulu
Qlogic Corporation.
