These patches require the block layer integrity infrastructure in Jens' tree as well as the patches that James took already. The complete patch series against 2.6.26rc9 is available here: http://oss.oracle.com/~mkp/patches/ Changes since last post: - Make the distinction between DIF and DIX clearer in the scsi_host settings. - Revamp DIF/DIX negotiation to support all combinations. - Error handling: Correctly handle failures detected by HBA and disk respectively. - Integrate protection scsi_data_buffer allocation with the command pools. - scsi_device_protection() accessor. - Remove unnecessary printks at disk init time. -- Martin K.
