  • The scsi/scsi.h header is normally provided by the libc (and was not
    exported by the kernel since 2.6.24) and has been until it was
    re-exported with 2.6.31. The kernel version is not userspace clean and
    does not appear to provide anything useable in userland over the
    (e)glibc version.

  • Export fc_els.h, fc_fs.h, fc_gs.h and fc_ns.h so that they
    may be used by applications.

    This will be needed for FC Passthrough applications like fcping,
    but could be used by other applications.

    Fix to include to exported files provided by
    Chris Leech .

  • 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:

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