The paches in this patch series address the following issues: - Make sure that all SCST sysfs attributes have only one value per file. - Remove the '[key]' marker from sysfs files since it is nonstandard. - Replace the symbolic constant SCST_SYSFS_BLOCK_SIZE by PAGE_SIZE. - Improved the robustness of the sysfs parsing code. - Fixed the errors in the online documentation of /sys/devices/scst/mgmt. - Correct the version number of the SCST core. - Update the documentation in Documentation/ABI/stable according to the above changes. - Made the SCST sysfs documentation more clear. All comments formulated by Greg and Konrad about the documentation in Documentation/ABI/stable should have been addressed. Notes: - In case anyone starts wondering why set commands were introduced instead of making sysfs files writeable: the reason behind this is to avoid lock inversion. - While examining how SCST has been configured via the sysfs interface is straightforward, configuring SCST via sysfs can be tedious. There exists a user space tool that allows to save a configuration to disk and to restore a configuration, even without restarting SCST. The source code of that tool can be obtained as follows: svn co https://scst.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scst/branches/sysfs-tree-changes/scstadmin An example of a configuration file generated by the scstadmin tool: # Automatically generated by SCST Configurator v2.0.0.
