scsi-mq + open-iscsi support patches..?

[Nicholas A. Bellinger]

Hi Mike,

Just curious as to the status of the scsi-mq conversion patches for
open-iscsi that you where working on a while back..?

I'm asking because recently I've been spending alot of time with scsi-mq
+ virtio-scsi, and would really to start banging on iser-target ports
using an scsi-mq enabled iser-initiator as well..

So that said, are there any blockers holding things up towards getting a
working prototype..?

Just time. Just finished a release at work and just got back from 
vacation so hoping to work on this some more in the next weeks.

On a related note, some iscsi vendor has been hitting a crash with your 
tree. Have you rebased it it to take in Christoph's changes and fixes 
that are in Jens's tree? The code here

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git/log/?h=scsi-mq

looks ok. That is the current code right?

Btw, I'm happy to help move things along here too, and have a few extra
cycles to spare..

I got an email from Jayamohan recently, but the OOPs did not appear to
be scsi-mq related..

It's current as of a few weeks ago, but does not include the very latest
blk-mq code that's now in next from Jens.

I'll be rebasing once blk-mq hits mainline over the next weeks..  ;)

I do see the crash on my Ubuntu VM running on VirtualBox  but don't see the crash on a Standalone system. 
Attaching the screenshot

Hi Jayamohan,

Care to enable the virtual serial port for this VM in order to grab the
full dmesg output..?

Also, an idea of what SATA emulation is being used here would be helpful
as well.  (eg: lspci -vvv for the ATA device on the running system)

Hi all，
	I used target-pending/scsi-mq to test intel ahci，but it can't work.I modify some places, now it can work.But still met hung task or oops.
Who can receive my patch for that?

Thanks!

So after looking at your patches sent offlist, I don't exactly
understand why they are necessary for AHCI to function.

> Who can receive my patch for that?

Please repost your patches to linux-scsi, with the specifics of each bug
you've encountered, and why each patch is necessary to address the
issue.

Thanks!
