[SCSI] fc_transport: Add an API to allow an LLD to create vports

2008-10-03T16:46:15+00:00

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.

[SCSI] st: show options currently set in sysfs

2008-04-07T17:15:40+00:00

Show the current binary tape driver and mode options is sysfs. A file
(options) is created in each directory in /sys/class/scsi_tape. The files
contain masks showing the options. The mask bit definitions are the same as
used when setting the options using the MTSETDRVBUFFER function in the
MTIOCTOP ioctl (defined in include/linux/mtio.h). For example:
> cat /sys/class/scsi_tape/nst0/options
0x00000d07

[SCSI] st: add option to use SILI in variable block reads

2008-04-07T17:15:39+00:00

Add new option MT_ST_SILI to enable setting the SILI bit in reads in variable
block mode. If SILI is set, reading a block shorter than the byte count does
not result in CHECK CONDITION. The length of the block is determined using the
residual count from the HBA. Avoiding the REQUEST SENSE command for every
block speeds up some real applications considerably.
