[PATCH 1/3] iscsi: extended cdb support The varlen support is not yet in mainline for block and scsi-ml. But the API for drivers will not change. All LLD need to do is max_command to the it's maximum and be ready for bigger commands. This is what's done here. Once these commands start coming iscsi will be ready for them. [PATCH 2/3] iscsi: bidi support - libiscsi [PATCH 3/3] iscsi: bidi support - iscsi_tcp bidirectional commands support in iscsi. iSER is not yet ready, but it will not break. There is already a mechanism in libiscsi that will return error if bidi commands are sent iSER way. Pete please send me the iSER bits so we can port them to this latest version. Mike these patches are ontop of iscs branch of the iscsi git tree, they will apply but for compilation you will need to sync with Linus mainline. The patches are for the in-tree iscsi code. I own you the compat patch for the out-off-tree code, but this I will only be Sunday. If we do it fast it might get accepted to 2.6.25 merge window Everybody is invited to a party at Shila ben-yhuda 52 Tel-Aviv 9:45 pm. Drinks and wonderful see-food on us :) Boaz - Everything the same as before. But working this time. Also Pete's comment about second patch, was correct and code is now fixed. I have got Mike's Signed-off-by, on these they were tested and approved by him. So they are for scsi-misc. But ... James? is there any chance these can go into scsi-rc-fixes for the 2.6.25 kernel? The reason they are so late was mainly because of a fallout in the merge process and a bug that was introduced because of that, but they were intended to go together with bidi into 2.6.25. Also as an important client code to the bidi-api that is introduced in 2.6.25 kernel.

It's not a bug fix; we haven't even put it into -mm for testing and it's a pretty invasive change. James It was extensively tested by all iscsi people. It has the Sign-off-by of the iscsi maintainer. They are not new patches. But, yes you are right. I now remember the trouble we had with Linus last time. So it's 2.6.26 then. :-( . People that need it for 2.6.25 will just get it off the git tree.
