The patchset breaks-down as follows: o Driver definitions o initialisation routines o OS integration files o iSNS routines o ISR routines o Mailbox routines o Support routines o Settings There's still quite a bit of work to do: - All command-queueing has been removed, so cable-pulls cannot be tolerated. We need to complete the iSCSI transport integration (which seems to no be present). Are the iSCSI block()/unblock() routines moving forward similarly to FC and now SAS? Mike Christie had submitted patches: [PATCH] add block/unblock to iscsi class http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=111201856631844&w=2 some time back. Why were the patches dropped? - Request-queue management cleanup - iSNS code rework - Additional cruft removal (unused structures and functions) All patches can be found at the following URL: ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/iSCSI/upstream/5.00.03b15-k/ Comments and criticisms welcomed.
