[RFC PATCH] fc_transport: Add an API to allow an LLD to create vports.

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

 



There's already a fc_vport_termintate() call exported by
the transport.  This patch adds a symmetric call to the API to allow
an NPIV-capable LLD to instantiate vports sans user intervention.

This is mostly just a shuffling and reuse of existing code.  Given we
already use an *_identifiers interface to create rports, the vport
creation API continues to use the previously internal
fc_vport_identifiers structure to define a vport object.

The impetus for this work is that future QLogic cards will have a
region set aside in flash-memory so that adminstrators may define
pre-set NPIVs which should be created during OS load.
