[PATCH 1/3] iscsi: extended cdb support The varlen support is not yet in mainline for block and scsi-ml. But the API for drivers will not change. All LLD need to do is max_command to the it's maximum and be ready for bigger commands. This is what's done here. Once these commands start coming iscsi will be ready for them. [PATCH 2/3] iscsi: bidi support - libiscsi [PATCH 3/3] iscsi: bidi support - iscsi_tcp bidirectional commands support in iscsi. iSER is not yet ready, but it will not break. There is already a mechanism in libiscsi that will return error if bidi commands are sent iSER way. Pete please send me the iSER bits so we can port them to this latest version. Mike these patches are ontop of iscs branch of the iscsi git tree, they will apply but for compilation you will need to sync with Linus mainline. The patches are for the in-tree iscsi code. I own you the compat patch for the out-off-tree code, but this I will only be Sunday. If we do it fast it might get accepted to 2.6.25 merge window Everybody is invited to a party at Shila ben-yhuda 52 Tel-Aviv 9:45 pm. Drinks and wonderful see-food on us :) Boaz
