Hi Andrew, Jens, James, The following patches are the revised version to use lld's private data instead of backing_dev_info.state for exporting lld busy state. Please review and give me your opinion. If all of you have no problem, I'll re-send the patches separately to each maintainer, Jens and James. The patches are created on the following commit of for-2.6.28 in linux-2.6-block, but the scsi part can be also applied to scsi-post-merge-2.6. --------------------------------------------------------------- commit c5062758edbe59286d7d8e718a59e4d4347ef541 Author: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 24 13:05:10 2008 +0200 libata: set queue SSD flag for SSD devices --------------------------------------------------------------- Previous post and discussions about the interface: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/19/138 Summary of the patches: 1/2: block: add lld busy state exporting interface 2/2: scsi: export busy state via q->lld_busy_fn() Thanks, Kiyoshi Ueda -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
