Yeah, I was just wondering if you knew all the ones you needed. In the kernel you could implement a iscsi_transport->set_iface_param. Userspace could then just pass down whatever is needed. The problem is that as it is now, the drivers allocate a host per resource then under that a iface per whatever the user/hw defines (user might do it per iscsi port, hw might do it per source ip address or some other resource). We could do: 1. Change iser to allocate a host per port or something like is done with the other drivers except iscsi_tcp. Userspace would then just call set_iface_param to create a iface and pass down the settings needed. With Eddies change to include the iface num in ep_connect then when that ep_connect is called we just match that iface num and bind at that time. 2. iser could implement a set_iface_param callout and when it is called to pass down settings it could also allocate a scsi_host and iface. When ep_connect is called it gets passed the scsi_host, so you have the iface info. You could either make this one allocate a host per iface or you could do it so it allocates a host per session still. For the latter you would just have duplicate ifaces/hosts (if you allocated a new one per session like is done today for host per session) or you need some code to manage them (do something so we can match existing ifaces in the driver). 3. Add new ep_connect call that passes down the current info and all the params you need. 4. ? I think I might like #2 best. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
