[Stgt-devel] Implementation of vtl

[Mark Harvey]

Hello aftab azmi,

First off, thanks... You beat me to the punch :) It might save me some work....

While I can't speak authoritatively, I'm sure this will be rejected
first off due the the code base not following the Linux kernel coding
style... You can find the coding style document in the Linux kernel
source under the Documentation dir.

I've passed it thru the scripts/checkpatch.pl script and attached are
the coding style errors: (Lots of tab/space issues)

2nd. The 'detection' of a filemark appears a little week. i.e. first
byte at a 512 byte boundary to contain '28'. This could produce many
false positives.

3rd. I see no way to detect variable block underrun/overrun detection
(the main sticking point with my code base)..

4th. You assume variable block writes. This code would fail if the
user set the tape block size to 'fixed block'.

Point 1 is easily resolved with a little effort.
Do you have any ideas on the solution to points 2 & 3 (just not coded yet) ?
Point 4 is an easy code fix.

Keep up the good work.

p.s. To make it much easier for people on this list to review the
code, please refer to the Linux kernel 'submitting patches' document.
You will receive much faster code reviews...

Regards
Mark Harvey
