[RFC 0/2] pass through support through bsg interface

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

 



Hi,

This is updated patch set for both FC transport and qla2xxx module in an effort of supporting pass through, ELS and CT services. For the reference, http://marc.info/?t=121569558300005&r=1&w=2 is the previous discussion triggered the implementation.

Based on the discussion, following are remarks for the implementations,
- the SMP in the SAS transport has referenced, so the layout of the changes are quite similar to it - at this stage, the ELS/CT service packet serviced one at a time, synchronously - in the scsi_transport_fc module, there is dedicated handler in the LLDD for ELS and CT, respectively - device files are created in following directories for each of discovered initiator/targets,
	= /sys/class/bsg/rport-<host_no>:<bus>-<id>
	= dev/rport-<host_no>:<bus>-<id>
- the qla2xxx module has been tested with the simple application that issues some of ELS and CT service requests
- abort mechanism is in place

Any comments on the implementations are appreciated.
One thing, sometimes, patches from my email client may get mangled for some reason, so the actual patches have attached separately at the end of each email.
Sorry for the inconvenience, will get fix as soon as possible.

Thank you,
Seokmann
