Hi Ching, I'm probably the one who added that restriction. I think the target core loaded fabric modules explicitly when the tcm_vhost code was written and it was not possible to build it into the kernel. Perhaps that has changed. The correct mailing list for drivers/target/ discussion is target-devel@vger.kernel.org. Stefan
