This is the second resubmission of the qla4xxx driver for QLogic Corporation's iSCSI HBAs. Changes from the first submission are: - fixed driver initialization issues during insmod - removed all references to iSNS - changed comments for functions to doc style - fixed ql4xxx_sem_spinlock() and ql4xxx_lock_drvr_wait() and their calls. - removed unused functions qla4xxx_login_device(), qla4xxx_logout_device() and qla4xxx_delete_device() - moved definitions of functions used only in ql4_os.c to before they are called and declared them static if not already so. Removed their prototypes. - prefixed function del_from_active_array() with qla4xxx - removed ql4_printk and used the appropriate dev_xxxx functions instead. - used scsi_print_command() instead of private definition. The complete mega patch for the driver is at ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/iSCSI/upstream/5.00.05b9-k/0000-Initial-Commit-qla4xxx.txt For ease of comprehension the above patch has been broken down into the following smaller patches: (located at ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/iSCSI/upstream/5.00.05b9-k/ ) 0001-qla4xxx-driver-definitions.diff 0002-qla4xxx-driver-initialization.diff 0003-qla4xxx-driver-os-files.diff 0004-qla4xxx-driver-isr-functions.diff 0005-qla4xxx-driver-mbx-functions.diff 0006-qla4xxx-driver-support-functions.diff 0007-qla4xxx-driver-version.diff All patches are against scsi-misc-2.6.git 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 modes ie iSNS/SLP. - block layer tagging Patches for these would be submitted once the driver is merged upstream. We have gone through several iterations of the driver submissions thus far. I would appreciate if it can be merged upstream. Otherwise please let me know what needs to be done to ensure a merge.
