I'm glad the RFC worked well for you. Your patch is appreciated, it was the portion that needed to be reverted as the collapsed blk_end_request() patch wasn't taken. To double check - there are no patches required with the RFC now - right ? I'll repost as a non-RFC, and we'll see where James takes it. -- james s Seokmann Ju wrote: > On Feb 11, 2009, at 7:43 AM, Seokmann Ju wrote: > > Here is a change that I've made for transport layer while I'm testing > the feature. > --- > diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_fc.c b/drivers/scsi/ > scsi_transport_fc.c > index 63ab7bc..4bca164 100644 > > With this change, I'm able to issue several ELS/CT services to the > qla2xxx module for those registered to the transport layer and have > rport associated with them. > > And, below is the driver changes for just review purpose. > > Do we have time table for this support to make it available in the > upstream? > I think it would be good to have the feature in 2.6.30 kernel, if > possible. > I will continue to work on and add rest of helper function in the > driver. > > Thank you, > Seokmann >
