[PATCH 0/9] scsi_dh update

[Hannes Reinecke]

Hi James,

this is the consolidated patchset to update the SCSI device_handler
infrastructure. Features are:

- Move device-table matching into the device_handler infrastructure,
  so that individual drivers don't have to implement it themselves
- Adds a 'dh_state' sysfs attribute for manually attaching device
  handler to new or unknown disks; this allows to override the
  internal device tables
- Update the dm-multipath code to attach the device handler
  specified in the multipath configuration
- Add a cache to speed up lookup of several identical devices
- Update existing EMC, RDAC, and hp_sw device handler to use
  the new infrastructure
- Add new SPC-3 ALUA device handler
- Add new NetApp device handler

Please apply.

Cheers,

Hannes

And as a side note: I'm currently working on multiple driver
binding, so of course we can convert the device_handler to
a proper scsi driver once this is in place. But this is quite
tedious and time-consuming work and I'd really
like to see my patch queue reduced :-)

Cheers,

Hannes
