Thanks Hannes.! OK so idea was to have single TMF for "Task set abort." I am not sure how to frame my next question.. But what if Linux SCSI layer traverse each IO of one particular target and issue individual Task abort? Don’t we call that as "task set aborts" ? How LLD Driver should interface for "task set aborts" as single TMF ? My understanding is "Task set abort" will be internally converted to single Task abort either by SCSI layer or HBA FW. > However, I'm not sure if I'll be going ahead with that one; once we've > issued a > 'transport reset the commands will be cone anyway. > > Cheers, > > Hannes > -- > Dr. Hannes Reinecke zSeries & Storage > hare@xxxxxxx +49 911 74053 688 > SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg > GF: F.
