Subject: [PATCH 1/4] scsi: core: Move REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS into the SCSI core
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 11:42:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028184216.25453-2-brian@purestorage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028184216.25453-1-brian@purestorage.com>

ALUA is a standard SCSI feature, independent of multipathing, but only
the ALUA device handler can currently send REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS.
Move submit_rtpg() into the SCSI core as scsi_report_tpgs(), together
with the resubmission with a larger buffer that alua_rtpg() did when
the parameter data did not fit, so that the core can read the ALUA
state of a device itself. The parameter data format definitions move to
scsi_proto.h with it.

scsi_dh_alua calls scsi_report_tpgs() with the same timeout, retries
and parameter data format as before.

No functional change.
