The following patches add the linux-iscsi-5.X/open-iscsi project's
netlink interface to the iscsi transport class since the groups doing
iSCSI over TCP (this module is completed now and will be submitted in a
seperate mail), iSCSI over SCTP and iSER are using it for a common
interface and to share code.
The answers to why netlink and why push so much to userspace can be
found here http://open-iscsi.org/.
Patches
1. add-iscsi-netlink-def.patch - include/linux/netlink.h changes (added
new protocol NETLINK_ISCSI)
2. common-iscsi-headers.patch - Common header files:
- iscsi_if.h (user/kernel #defines);
- iscsi_proto.h (RFC3720 #defines and types);
- iscsi_ifev.h (user/kernel events).
3. integrate-iscsi-netlink.patch - incorporate the
open-iscsi/linux-iscsi netlink interface into the iscsi transport class.
Thanks,
Linux-iscsi Team
