[PATCH 0/6] scsi tgt

[PATCH 0/6] scsi tgt

[Mike Christie]

The following patchset adds the basic infrastructure to support target
mode in userspace. There are sevreral todo's left. They mostly require
changes around us like to the packet layer, request queue etc. For
Jeff's suggestion we are working on the packet layer suggestion, but are
also looking into relayfs as a possibility.

This is not ready for mainline. Maybe ready for James to manage it in a
tree, but not ready for heavy use. With some outstanding patches Tomo
can install SLES to a scsi tgt LU. But we still need to add a lot of
functionality to userspace. We basically need to add the state model
code we just ripped out of the kernel to userspace becuase the current
code is geared tword working on trying to maintain performance with a
kernel implementation not add features/requirements like task management
functions, support for tape and cd, etc.

oh yeah, the patchset was made against scsi-rc-fixes-2.6.
