This is another resubmission of qla4xxx driver for QLogic Corporation's iSCSI HBAs. The main changes from the previous submission are - use block layer tagging - clean up code and remove unused function for firmware pass thru Please not that this patch is dependant on the previously posted patch titled [RFC] [PATCH] helper function for retrieving scsi_cmd given host based block layer tag ( http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115871027627964&w=2 ) The complete mega patch for the driver is at ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/iSCSI/upstream/5.00.05b10-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/5.00.05b10-k/ ) 0001-qla4xxx-driver-defs.diff 0002-qla4xxx-driver-init.diff 0003-qla4xxx-driver-os.diff 0004-qla4xxx-driver-isr.diff 0005-qla4xxx-driver-mbx.diff 0006-qla4xxx-driver-support.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. Here are the links to the previous two submissions http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115532714515853&w=2 http://groups.google.com/group/open-iscsi/browse_frm/thread/536ce2edf9a60c48?hl=en I believe block layer tagging was the gating item in the last submission. I would really appreciate if it can be merged upstream.
