If this dependency exists I probably can't pull this into the net-next-2.6 then, just FYI but you probably already understand this :-) --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.

RE: [PATCH 0/3 2.6.29] cxgb3i -- driver fixes & updates
Hi, Mike, Thanks for the reply. True, there is no dependency on the network driver part. I will send out the new patch with the entire driver soon.

RE: [PATCH 0/3 2.6.29] cxgb3i -- driver fixes & updates
Hi, Dave & Mike, I guess I need some clarification on how this driver code could be merged. The cxgb3i driver addition consists of 2 parts: 1. the new cxgb3i driver. It resides under drivers/scsi, this part has the dependency on the open-iscsi core changes I referred in the previous email. I was under the impression this goes into scsi-misc? 2. some iscsi related changes in cxgb3 driver (driver/net). This part does not have any dependency. Dave, I suppose this part goes into net-next? If so, this does not need Mike's patch at all. Thanks a lot.

[PATCH 0/3 2.6.29] cxgb3i -- driver fixes & updates
[PATCH 0/3 2.6.29] cxgb3i -- open-iscsi initiator acceleration From: Karen Xie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, everyone, This patchset is for 2.6.29. It is based on the cxgb3i branch of Mike's linux-2.6-iscsi tree. It needs the patch Mike sent several days ago on preparing the iscsi core libary for pdu offload (http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=122819956917473). The cxgb3i driver, especially the part handles the offloaded iscsi tcp connection mangement, has gone through the netdev review ( http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121944339211552, http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=121989660016124). The cxgb3i driver provides iscsi acceleration (PDU offload and payload data direct placement) to the open-iscsi initiator. It accesses the hardware through the cxgb3 module. Thanks.
