Linux iSCSI Initiator ================= This is to announce a new release of the iSCSI Initiator for Linux: v5.0.0.3rc2 for 2.6.12 kernel. The previous (2nd) submission (posted 04/12/05) can be located at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111328256211837&w=2 The very first submission is here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111017939025775&w=2 Current release is result of the ongoing effort by the combined linux-iscsi team. In-depth information on the project, including the latest download, performance results, etc. documentation can be found at: http://linux-iscsi.sourceforge.net and/or http://www.open-iscsi.org 2. SCSI transport ============= This Initiator will work with the new iSCSI transport class from the (very) recent submission by Mike Christie. The related (and required) submission can be located at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111526182523809&w=2 3. The patch ========= A single consolidated (94KB) patch against 2.6.12 can be downloaded at: http://www.open-iscsi.org/src/iscsi_tcp.patch This contains: - SCSI LLDD: iscsi_tcp.[ch] (iSCSI transport over TCP/IP). - drivers/scsi/Kconfig changes - drivers/scsi/Makefile changes Signed-off-by: Alex Aizman Signed-off-by: Dmitry Yusupov 4. User space ========== The assoicated userspace tools can be downloaded from http://www.open-iscsi.org/index.html#download 5. Changelog since v5.0.0.2 (Open-iSCSI v 0.2) =================================== * support non-immediate control plane commands * flush queue in cnx_stop() * fix queue add/remove * Christoph Hellwig: - remove sys_iopl and (no need since oom_adj serves the purpose) - patch to use __be16/__be16 types for static typechecking with sparse -Wbitwise - make needlessly global symbols static - switch to proper goto-based error unwinding - kill zone_init cpp abuse - lots of 0 vs. NULL and one missing void in a prototype: cleanup - make two needlessly global symbols in iscsi_tcp.c static - use uintptr_t (the C99 type) to store a pointer instead of the locally defined ulong_t * Mike Christie: - scsi_host_lookup: release scsi host handle right away - patch to move the scsi scanning to userspace. - request_bufflen: rely on the scsi_ml to set the correct value (INQUIRY, REQUEST_SENSE and REPORT_LUNS etc.) * data_xmit(): cleanup, optimization * MRDSL fix (discovered by Mike Christie) * use GFP_ATOMIC in case of recovery and GFP_KERNEL in case of initial login * race fix: max_r2t data_xmit() vs. r2t_rsp() * release socket cleanup: done _after_ stopping data_xmit() * padding: scsi_cmnd total length * r2t sglist assertion fixes * deprecate and remove control plane cnx/snx handles * ERL=0 recovery fix for HeaderDigest=CRC32C * iSCSI MIB and extended statistics: initial support, get_stats() API * get_stats(): calculate actual size of statistics buffer * integrate with scsi_transport_iscsi.[ch] Regards, Linux-iscsi Team - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
