As mentioned explictly earlier in this thread, my WIP code for the kernel level subsystem backstore using STGT kernel<-> user CDB passthrough logic in drivers/target/target_core_stgt.c is a item on my TODO list, but I will repeat, is NOT being tagged as a mainline .37 item.
Hmm, I can't understand, if target_core_stgt.c is "NOT being tagged as a mainline .37 item", then the STGT ABI compatibility for being a drop in replacement for STGT isn't a requirement? Or am I missing something?
Tomo-san, mnc, and other storage folks have been briefed on the remaining issues that would be involved to get a prototype functioning with drivers/target/target_core_stgt.c, and rough idea of what it would take in existing mainline drivers/scsi/scsi_tgt_*.c code. With the current WIP code this will allow the userspace CDB -> LUN passthrough to function transparently with all TCM SPC-4 compliant logic as a standalone struct se_subsystem_api tcm_core_stgt.ko backstore.
This is exactly what we are discussing. Thanks, Vlad -- 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
