For an initial merge, I don't have an objection to this series wrt drivers/target/iscsi/* improvements + prerequisites, and new standalone cxgbit iscsit_transport driver. That said, there are areas between cxgbi + cxgbit code that can be made common as you've pointed out. The Cheliso folks have mentioned off-list that cxgbi as-is in mainline does not support LRO, and that the majority of DDP logic is shared between initiator + target. Are there specific pieces of logic in DDP or iWARP for cxgb* that you'd like to see Varun + Co pursue as common code in v4.8+..? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
