The updated version incorporates the comments from Mike and Boaz: - remove the cxgb3 sysfs entry for the private iscsi ip address, it can be accessed from iscsi. - in cxgb3i.txt, added error message logged for not setting MaxRecvDataSegmentLength properly. - renamed cxgb3i Makefile to Kbuild - removed "select ISCSI_TCP" in Kconfig - consistent handling of AHS: on tx, reserve rooms for AHS; on rx, assume we could receive AHS. - add support of bi-directional commands for ddp setup, The cxgb3i driver, especially the part handles the offloaded iscsi tcp connection mangement, has gone through the netdev review (http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121944339211552, http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121989660016124). The cxgb3i driver provides iscsi acceleration (PDU offload and payload data direct placement) to the open-iscsi initiator. It accesses the hardware through the cxgb3 module. Thanks. Karen
