Hi Nic,
Since in the most recent years all my communication to you was neutral
and professional in tone it is not clear to me why you wrote such a
misleading and unfair e-mail. Anyway, I would like to point out that the
following information is missing from your e-mail:
- That last year the storage HBA vendors and Linux distributor
representatives who attended my session about this topic where
unanimously enthusiastic about my proposal. You were the only
attendee who was not (yet?) enthusiast.
- That I am working on sending the ib_srpt patches upstream you
referred to in your e-mail and that a first version of that patch
series has already been posted on the linux-rdma mailing list.
- Although five years ago some SCST users switched to LIO, recently
several LIO users switched back to SCST because the latter is still
more stable and easier to configure than LIO. In other words, it is
in your own interest to help the LIO patches upstream that I posted
recently.
- One of the reasons that the LIO core patches I'm working on are not
yet upstream is because of how long it takes before you as a
maintainer provide feedback. The first version of my patch to make
ABORT and LUN RESET handling synchronous was posted on October 12,
2015. It took until November 15, 2015 before I received the first
feedback from you for that patch.
Bart.
