James Smart 9e4f5e2961 [SCSI] FC Pass Thru support
Attached is the ELS/CT pass-thru patch for the FC Transport. The patch
creates a generic framework that lays on top of bsg and the SGIO v4 ioctl
in order to pass transaction requests to LLDD's.

The interface supports the following operations:
  On an fc_host basis:
    Request login to the specified N_Port_ID, creating an fc_rport.
    Request logout of the specified N_Port_ID, deleting an fc_rport
    Send ELS request to specified N_Port_ID w/o requiring a login, and
      wait for ELS response.
    Send CT request to specified N_Port_ID and wait for CT response.
      Login is required, but LLDD is allowed to manage login and decide
      whether it stays in place after the request is satisfied.
    Vendor-Unique request. Allows a LLDD-specific request to be passed
      to the LLDD, and the passing of a response back to the application.
  On an fc_rport basis:
    Send ELS request to nport and wait for ELS response.
    Send CT request to nport and wait for CT response.

The patch also exports several headers from include/scsi such that
they can be available to user-space applications:
  include/scsi/scsi.h
  include/scsi/scsi_netlink.h
  include/scsi/scsi_netlink_fc.h
  include/scsi/scsi_bsg_fc.h

For further information, refer to the last RFC:

Note: Documentation is still spotty and will be added later.

scsi_assign_lock has been unused for a long time and is a bad idea
in general, so kill it.

Christoph Hellwig 9227c33de8 [PATCH] move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class
Overriding the whole EH code is a per-transport, not per-host thing.
Move ->eh_strategy_handler to the transport class, same as
->eh_timed_out.

Downside is that scsi_host_alloc can't check for the total lack of EH
anymore, but the transition period from old EH where we needed it is
long gone already.

Christoph Hellwig 12413197ee [SCSI] remove scsi_set_device
scsi_add_host is the proper place to set the device, but people copy
the scsi_set_device usage from older drivers again and again.

note that this leaves some legacy drivers like qlogicisp/qlogicfc
without pci association in sysfs, but they're scheduled to go away soon
anyway.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
