  • 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.

    - digest insertion and verification
    - payload direct-placement into host memory buffer.

  • There's already a fc_vport_termintate() call exported by
    the transport. This patch adds a symmetric call to the API to allow
    an NPIV-capable LLD to instantiate vports sans user intervention.

    Additional comments/updates:

    Re: scsi_fc_transport.txt
    Add a function prototype for fc_vport_terminate similar to what's
    done for fc_vport_create

    Re: fc_vport_create
    I recommend we pass the channel number in fc_vport_create rather
    than fixing it at zero.

    Also, ids->vport_type should be set to FC_PORTTYPE_NPIV prior to
    calling fc_vport_create. The comment is also meaningless.

  • Show the current binary tape driver and mode options is sysfs. A file
    (options) is created in each directory in /sys/class/scsi_tape. The files
    contain masks showing the options. The mask bit definitions are the same as
    used when setting the options using the MTSETDRVBUFFER function in the
    MTIOCTOP ioctl (defined in include/linux/mtio.h). For example:
    > cat /sys/class/scsi_tape/nst0/options
    0x00000d07

  • Add new option MT_ST_SILI to enable setting the SILI bit in reads in variable
    block mode. If SILI is set, reading a block shorter than the byte count does
    not result in CHECK CONDITION. The length of the block is determined using the
    residual count from the HBA. Avoiding the REQUEST SENSE command for every
    block speeds up some real applications considerably.

  • - add arcmsr_enable_eoi_mode()and readl(reg->iop2drv_doorbell_reg) in
    arcmsr_handle_hbb_isr() on adapter Type B in case of the doorbell
    interrupt clearance is cached

    - add conditional declaration for arcmsr_pci_error_detected() and
    arcmsr_pci_slot_reset

    - check if the sg list member number exceeds arcmsr default limit in
    arcmsr_build_ccb()

    - change the returned value type of arcmsr_build_ccb()from "void" to
    "int" returns FAILED in arcmsr_queue_command()

    - modify arcmsr_drain_donequeue() to ignore unknown command and let
    kernel process command timeout. This could handle IO request violating
    maximum segments, i.e. Linux XFS over DM-CRYPT. Thanks to Milan Broz's
    comments

  • The cards being added are supported in a limited sense already through
    family matching, but we needed to add some functionality to the driver
    to expose selectively the physical drives. These Physical drives are
    specifically marked to not be part of any array and thus are declared
    JBODs (Just a Bunch Of Drives) for generic SCSI access.

    We report that this is the second patch in a set of two, but merely
    depends on the stand-alone functionality of the first patch which adds
    in that case the ability to report a driver feature flag via sysfs. We
    leverage that functionality by reporting that this driver now supports
    this new JBOD feature for the controller so that the array management
    applications may react accordingly and guide the user as they manage
    the controller.

  • Device Initiated Power Management, which is defined
    in SATA 2.5 can be enabled for disks which support it.
    This patch enables DIPM when the user sets the link
    power management policy to "min_power".

    Additionally, libata drivers can define a function
    (enable_pm) that will perform hardware specific actions to
    enable whatever power management policy the user set up
    for Host Initiated Power management (HIPM).
    This power management policy will be activated after all
    disks have been enumerated and intialized. Drivers should
    also define disable_pm, which will turn off link power
    management, but not change link power management policy.

    Documentation/scsi/link_power_management_policy.txt has additional
    information.
