Subject[RFC v2 PATCH 0/19] A kernel-level configfs enabled generic target engine for Linux v2.6.32
From
Date
Greetings all,

This is the second round of request for comments for TCM/ConfigFS v3.2 from lio-core-2.6.git.
Thanks to the folks who made comments, and I again invite people to take a look and make
recommendations on how the code can be futher improved to use the best available upstream
interfaces.

Also, the standalone patches for TCM v3.2 are now available from:

http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/nab/target_core_mod-patches/

The first posting from 09112009 can be found here:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125272088024636

The changelog since the posting on 09112009, which can be found here:

*) Convert to struct mutex for struct sempahore initialized with init_MUTEX() (mentioned by Daniel Walker)
*) Convert to struct completion for struct semaphore initialized with init_MUTEX_LOCKED() (mentioned by Daniel Walker)
*) Convert to use Kbuild instead of Makefile for drivers/target/ (mentioned by Boaz Harrosh)
*) Use include/asm-generic/div64.h for unsigned long long division on 32-bit architectures
*) Use include/linux/math64.h for unsigned long long modulo on 32-bit architectures
