Hi James, this is the consolidated patchset to update the SCSI device_handler infrastructure. Features are: - Move device-table matching into the device_handler infrastructure, so that individual drivers don't have to implement it themselves - Adds a 'dh_state' sysfs attribute for manually attaching device handler to new or unknown disks; this allows to override the internal device tables - Update the dm-multipath code to attach the device handler specified in the multipath configuration - Add a cache to speed up lookup of several identical devices - Update existing EMC, RDAC, and hp_sw device handler to use the new infrastructure - Add new SPC-3 ALUA device handler - Add new NetApp device handler Please apply.
