No, I don't have yet. > I think to increase our chances of ever getting merged to mainline > it would be a good a idea to be as generic as possible. Yep. It should be generic. > So I would like to move the stgt core and stgt_vsd/sd scsi code to a > type of personality or protocal handling module.

It sounds good, though I've not read a NBD or AOE target driver (I'll see them later). > I have patches to move the kernel lun sutff to a more generic 64 bit > device_id which is interpreted by the scsi personality as a lun. > And next I would like to move some of the other SCSI command, sense > and offset/len code. Please merge the patches that you already have for making stgt to be a block_target framework. |
