qla4xxx driver resubmission
RFC PATCH 1/1 qla4xxx driver resubmission
This is a resubmission of the qla4xxx driver for QLogic Corporation's iSCSI HBAs. Changes from the previous submission are:
- fixed driver initialization issues during insmod
- removed all references to iSNS
- changed comments for function to doc style
- removed potential infinite loop in ql4xxx_sem_spinlock()
The complete patch for the driver is at ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/iSCSI/upstream/5.00.05b8-k/0000-Init ial-commit-of-qla4xxx.txt
For ease of comprehension the above patch has been broken down into the following smaller patches:
- 0001-ISP4xxx-driver-definitions.diff
- 0002-ISP4xxx-driver-initialization-routines.diff
- 0003-ISP4xxx-driver-OS-files.diff
- 0004-ISP4xxx-driver-ISR-routines.diff
- 0005-ISP4xxx-driver-Mailbox-routines.diff
- 0006-ISP4xxx-driver-support-routines.diff
- 0007-ISP4xxx-driver-version.diff
These are located at ftp://ftp.qlogic.com/outgoing/linux/iSCSI/upstream/5.00.05b8-k/
Other items which needs to be done are
- Add support for sysfs attributes.
- Userspace support for session creation/deletion for iscsi HBAs.
- Add support for other discovery mode ie iSNS/SLP.
- block layer tagging
Patches for these would be submitted once the driver is merged
upstream.
Looking forward to comment's/feedback.
Regards,
David Somayajulu
