Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/3] add fc transport events
Date: Thu, 27 May 2004 00:25:11 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40B597D7.3080909@cs.wisc.edu> (raw)

The following patches begin to address the problem of allowing
a userspace program to online or offline a scsi device. The major
change is the layout of the transport class so that devices are
presented under an adapter with the fc_transport class node the root
for adapters. There's still no adapter level attributes so the host's
class_device is really just being used as way to nicely structure things,
and the class_device in the scsi_device has been converted to a kobject.


Here is a partial tree:

01-add-host-transport-classdev.patch - adds the transport class_device to
the scsi_host structure.

02-sdev-transport-kobj.patch - converts the transport class_device in the
scsi_device to a kobject.

03-convert-fc-class.patch - converts the fc class from a class_device
scsi_device to a kobject and adds a basic link_up/down event fucntion.

(I did not convert the spi class yet, becuase I wasn't sure how people
would feel about such a change)
