Hi, everyone,

Please review our new version of the iSCSI Initiator drivers for Chelsio S3 adapters. The cxgb3i driver provides iscsi acceleration (PDU digest offload and payload direct-placement) to the open-iscsi initiator. It accesses the hardware through the cxgb3 module.

The accelerated iscsi traffic uses a private IP address which is unknown to the OS.

netdev list, please review part 1, 2 and cxgb3i_offload.[ch] in part 4 which handle the iscsi connection APIs to the adapter.

Thanks.
Karen

I have not reviewed in depth, but this does appear to remove the major 
objection we had.

Thanks,
