  • Attached is the ELS/CT pass-thru patch for the FC Transport. The patch
    creates a generic framework that lays on top of bsg and the SGIO v4 ioctl
    in order to pass transaction requests to LLDD's.

    The interface supports the following operations:
    On an fc_host basis:
    Request login to the specified N_Port_ID, creating an fc_rport.
    Request logout of the specified N_Port_ID, deleting an fc_rport
    Send ELS request to specified N_Port_ID w/o requiring a login, and
    wait for ELS response.
    Send CT request to specified N_Port_ID and wait for CT response.
    Login is required, but LLDD is allowed to manage login and decide
    whether it stays in place after the request is satisfied.
    Vendor-Unique request. Allows a LLDD-specific request to be passed
    to the LLDD, and the passing of a response back to the application.
    On an fc_rport basis:
    Send ELS request to nport and wait for ELS response.
    Send CT request to nport and wait for CT response.

    The patch also exports several headers from include/scsi such that
    they can be available to user-space applications:
    include/scsi/scsi.h
    include/scsi/scsi_netlink.h
    include/scsi/scsi_netlink_fc.h
    include/scsi/scsi_bsg_fc.h

    For further information, refer to the last RFC:
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=123436574018579&w=2

    Note: Documentation is still spotty and will be added later.

  • Move it to the top-level file to decide if we install/check
    the generic headers or the arch specific headers.

    This revealed a long standing bug where "make headers_check_all"
    relied on the files in asm/ for the current architecture.
    So make headers_check_all is now broken by this commit.

    In addition:

    o add a simpler way to detect if an arch support
    exporting header files.

    o add 'set -e;' so we error out early if
    make headers_check_all fails.

    o add sparc64 and cris to arch we do not process
    in make headers_*_all because:

    sparc64 - use sparc to export headers
    cris - is know seriously broken

    Includes suggestions from: David Woodhouse

  • With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
    the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
    starting to be unmanageable.

    This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.

    It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
    subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
    sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.
