(Does this effect existing non PI virtio-scsi operation..?) - Report VIRTIO_F_ANY_LAYOUT feature bit to userspace. - Convert virtio_scsi_cmd_req_pi to bytes field instead of number of iovecs. - Ensure virtio_scsi_cmd_req_pi is naturally aligned - Figure out why QEMU is not acking (any) vhost-scsi feature bits Is there anything else that you'd like to see for an initial merge, or other issues that need to be addressed with the above..? --nab -- 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
