Hi Linus, Here is the next pull request for Chris Boot's new Serial Block Protocol (sbp) target driver for IEEE-1394 (FireWire) hardware. This code also has been in linux-next for a number of weeks, and is ready for an initial merge. Please pull from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git sbp-target-merge The FireWire SBP-2 Target is a driver for using an IEEE-1394 connection as a SCSI transport. This module uses the SCSI Target framework to expose LUNs to other machines attached to a FireWire bus, in effect acting as a FireWire hard disk similar to FireWire Target Disk mode on many Apple computers. Also included are the two drivers/firewire/ patches required by sbp-target to access fw_request fabric speed needed for mgt_agent TCODE_WRITE_BLOCK_REQUEST ops, and exporting fw_card kref logic used when creating/destroying active session references to individual endpoints. A credit goes to Chris in being able to get this code up and running so quickly w/o any target core changes, and special thanks goes out to Stefan Richter + Clemens Ladisch + Andy Grover for their help in getting this driver ready for mainline. Also, one of Chris's goals was to be able to connect sbp-target to a PowerPC based MacOS-X based client, that he accomplished along the way in this obligatory screenshot: http://linux-iscsi.org/wiki/File:Linux-fireware-target-bootc-macosx.png Great work Chris + linux-1394 team !! --nab Chris Boot (3): firewire: Add function to get speed from opaque struct fw_request firewire: Move fw_card kref functions into linux/firewire.h sbp-target: Initial merge of firewire/ieee-1394 target mode support MAINTAINERS | 9 + drivers/firewire/core-card.c | 1 + drivers/firewire/core-transaction.c | 9 + drivers/firewire/core.h | 15 - drivers/target/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/target/Makefile | 1 + drivers/target/sbp/Kconfig | 11 + drivers/target/sbp/Makefile | 1 + drivers/target/sbp/sbp_target.c | 2621 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/target/sbp/sbp_target.h | 251 ++++ include/linux/firewire.h | 15 + 11 files changed, 2920 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/target/sbp/Kconfig create mode 100644 drivers/target/sbp/Makefile create mode 100644 drivers/target/sbp/sbp_target.c create mode 100644 drivers/target/sbp/sbp_target.h -- 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
