2011-03-14[SCSI] hpsa: export resettable host attributeStephen M. Cameron
This attribute, requested by Redhat, allows kexec-tools to know whether the controller can honor the reset_devices kernel parameter and actually reset the controller. For kdump to work properly it is necessary that the reset_devices parameter be honored. This attribute enables kexec-tools to warn the user if they attempt to designate a non-resettable controller as the dump device. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/* Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult, the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated. Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users. Signed-off-by: Justin P.

2009-06-12[SCSI] FC Pass Thru supportJames Smart
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.

2008-10-03[SCSI] fc_transport: Add an API to allow an LLD to create vportsAndrew Vasquez
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.
