James, I would also like to discuss the following topic. The patches were submitted to linux-scsi earlier which basically includes fc_rport attributes to FC transport. Here are the links to previous submission http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=128828294426031&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=128828255825328&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=128828263025468&w=2 >From review comments from community (Christof S and James Smart), it is felt that a common implementation either in transport or block layer would be better to avoid all LLD implementing this. In an effort the BSG interface is extended to send in-kernel BSG commands to query name server and get the required information to populate. Here are the links for the review comments received http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=128834912816011&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=128838095128776&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=128871208700376&w=2 I would like to discuss to tap more idea from community for any better approach. If not, to continue with the present approach.
