Thank you Greg for your time and most valuable input.
I'm sorry for not understanding your position. I needed the
clear cut statement:
This code should not be using kobjects. i.e not belong in sysfs
SCST guys. This sounds pretty clear cut to me. Sysfs was not built
in mind for such dynamic systems, and it will cause never ending
conflicts with future maintenance of sysfs vs SCST.
Perhaps consider a new alternative like the device tree as Greg suggested
or maybe finally accept the harsh realities of ConfigFS, and come join us
in the LIO project. SCST is a most valuable project and community which
we would like to join forces with in making Linux the best.
Lets call it Linux-Target and unify all our efforts.
