Christoph,
The only real user of the T10 OSD protocol, the pNFS object layout driver never went to the point of having shipping products, and we removed it 1.5 years ago. Exofs is just a simple example without real life users. The code has been mostly unmaintained for years and is getting in the way of block / SCSI changes, and does not even work properly currently, so I think it's finally time to drop it.
Applied to 5.1/scsi-queue. Thanks! -- Martin K. Petersen Oracle Linux Engineering
