1. Linux iSCSI Initiator
=================
This is to announce a new release of the iSCSI Initiator for Linux:

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 <itn780@yahoo.com>

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 <sys/io.h> (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]
