Hi James
I'm sending some patches that have accumulated for the next merge window.
If they could sit in scsi-misc (and linux-next).
On top of these I will later send a couple of patches for
getting rid of the use of blk_rq_append_bio, as well as
support for chained-bios for Jeff's pending osdblk driver.
These should go in first, as the "other work" is rebased ontop
of these here.
These are the list of patches:
[PATCH 01/6] libosd: OSD2r05: Additional command enums
[PATCH 02/6] libosd: OSD2r05: Attribute definitions
[PATCH 03/6] libosd: Better printout of OSD target system information
These are just small stuff that have been added after the last merge window
[PATCH 04/6] libosd: osd_req_{read,write}_kern new API
This is refactoring of common code used by a few library users
[PATCH 05/6] libosd: Let _osd_req_finalize_data_integrity receive number of out_bytes
[PATCH 06/6] libosd: osd_req_{read,write} takes a length parameter
These patches are in preparation for supporting bio-chains. BIO-chains support is
needed both by Jeff's osdblk stacking block device, as well as future work in exofs
and pNFS-Objects layout-driver.
The support is not yet finished until acceptance of a couple of patches to the block
layer and corresponding patches to osd which I will send next.
Thank you in advance
Boaz
