Hi,
I am working on something similar ( over InfiniBand)
I have no experiance with scsi subsystem and I am gothering any peace of
information about mid-core layer interface towards higher layers.
I hope next may help to you, and if you know more please publish it.
In order to activate mid layer you should call scsi_allocate_device
after that
choose the right device from linked list and fill scsi_command struct
register it , and call scsi_do_command
I am going to write some code soon so I hope I would undertstand better.
For now the best source of information for me is
http://www.andante.org/scsi.html
it is sucks ( just data structures and not complete)
and take unh-iscsi from sf.net they have scsi_target.{c,h} it is ~1500
lines of code and readable
please write me if you know more.
Michael

Our FC driver detects the physical FC disks as SCSI devices and reports them to a higher_layer (not Linux SCSI mid-level driver) in Linux kernel. Now, we need to create another layer that sits in between the existing higher_layer and Linux SCSI mid-level driver, and to register the detected FC/SCSI devices as Linux sd/sg devices.
