Cover letter [PATCH 0/5] Series short description
The following series implements...
Currently OpenFC maintains several control structures for each enabled fcoe interface, such as inner and outer fc_port, fcdev, openfc_softc, fcs_state (for fc_local_port and fc_virt_fab) etc. Here fc_port should not be confused with FC protocol's ports related structs, instead fc_port provides generic/portable interface to FCS sub module embedded inside openFC for egress, ingress handlers and sa events lists to OpenFC per FCoE interface instance.
I removed outer port instance in these patches, instead used existing fcdev structure by direct functions calls between FCS & OpenFC for outer port egress and inegress functions. The fcdev is key shared structure per FCoE interface between OpenFC and FCoE modules, fcdev can be extended for all libfc(TBD) users to access per libfc user instance.
Consolidation of more control structures in fcdev will simplify openFC implementation which will help in converting OpenFC into generic libfc library as suggested by linux-scsi reviewers.
