Hi all,
quite some drivers use internal commands for various purposes, most
commonly sending TMFs or querying the HBA status.
While these commands use the same submission mechanism than normal
I/O commands, they will not be counted as outstanding commands,
requiring those drivers to implement their own mechanism to figure
out outstanding commands.
This patchset enables the use of reserved tags for the SCSI midlayer,
enabling LLDDs to rely on the block layer for tracking outstanding
commands.
More importantly, it allows LLDD to request a valid tag from the block
layer without having to implement some tracking mechanism within the
driver. This removes quite some hacks which were required for some
drivers (eg. fnic or snic).
As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.
Hi Hannes,
I was wondering if you have any plans to progress this series?
I don't mind helping out...
Cheers,
John
