I had been looking at trying to change something with sr0 a while back, I think it was an incorrectly set max_sectors on the Playstation3, but I could not find the was to do this with TYPE_CDROM as is possible with TYPE_DISK. So now that those two work, what about other SCSI device types that appear as character devices? The most obvious ones that come to mind are TYPE_MEDIUM_CHANGER and TYPE_TAPE. As they do not appear under /sys/block, to enable the SCSI passthrough for target_core_mod using symlinks from sysfs -> configfs using the patch, the sysfs source needs to point to struct device.. For example, with the current code, the export of sr0 would now look like: # Enable sr0 for DVD target passthrough access mkdir $TARGET/core/pscsi_0/dvd_rom ln -s /sys/block/sr0/device $TARGET/core/pscsi_0/dvd_rom/dvd_passthrough So what about for TYPE_TYPE..? I am guessing you would need to grab the struct device (to reference the struct scsi_device by struct kobject using the configfs patch) through /sys/class/$SCSI_HCTL/device, for the SCSI passthrough case, right..? # Also enable a SCSI tape for target passthrough access..? mkdir $TARGET/core/pscsi_1/my_superturbotapearray ln -s /sys/class/1:0:0:0/device $TARGET/core/pscsi_1/my_superturbotapearray/tape_passthrough # MEDIUM_CHANGER too..? mkdir $TARGET/core/pscsi_1/my_superturbomc ln -s /sys/class/1:0:1:0/device $TARGET/core/pscsi_1/my_superturbomc/mc_passthrough I don't have real MEDIUM_CHANGER onsite, so if anyone wanted to test this with my current patches in lio-core-2.6.git please let me know. I will try hooking up my old SCSI tape drive this weekend and see if TYPE_TAPE works. :-) The idea is through the change to allow sysfs source symlinks (the patch still needs to handle follow_link() correctly) to pass any struct kobject through the configfs struct config_item_operations API while calling kobject_get() and kobject_put() to protect/release the reference to struct kobject inside of fs/configfs/symlink.c. --nab -- 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
