* headers: include linux/types.h where appropriateBobby Powers2012-03-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This addresses some header check warnings. DRM headers which include "drm.h" have been excluded, as they indirectly include types.h.

* scsi: use __uX types for headers exported to user spacePeter Korsgaard2010-08-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9e4f5e29 ("FC Pass Thru support") exported a number of header files in include/scsi to user space, but didn't change the uX types to the userspace-compatible __uX types. Without that you'll get compile errors when including them - E.G.: include/scsi/scsi.h:145: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before `u8' Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk> Cc: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Cc: James Smart <james.smart@emulex.com> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* [SCSI] scsi_netlink: Add transport and LLD recieve and event supportJames Smart2008-10-031-1/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds scsi netlink recieve and event support for transport and scsi LLDD's. It is a reimplementation of the patch posted last week by David Somayajulu. http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=121745486221819&w=2 There are a few things done differently: - Transport support is included - Event delivery is included - The vendor message is now its own unique message type, considered part of the generic "SCSI Transport". - LLDD entry points are now registered rather than included in the scsi_host_template. Background: When I started to implement the event handler via template, I had to either: muck up scsi_add_host and scsi_remove_host; or have the event handler search all possible shosts. Neither was acceptable. Moving to a registration solves this, and also limits the scope of the changes to something that could be backported to a distro without breaking an already-released-distro kabi. However, I admit it isn't as elegant, as the passing of the LLDD host template in the registration and the complexity around dynamic add/remove shows. - The receive path was augmented to require a unique identifier for the LLDD before the message was allowed to be handed off to the driver. Given how quickly very fatal errors occur if there's msg mismatches (which I saw in testing my own tools :), I believe this to be a very good thing. The id plays off the vendor id scheme already introduced for the vendor unique event messages used by FC. Additionally, the id use as the basis of the registration/deregistration. - Send assist functions, for both the transport and LLDDs are included.

* [SCSI] SCSI & FC transport: extend event vendor id's to 64bitsJames Smart2006-09-021-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | During discussions with Mike Christie, I became convinced that we needed a larger vendor id. This patch extends the id from 32 to 64 bits. This applies on top of the prior patches that add SCSI transport events via netlink. Signed-off-by: James Smart <James.Smart@emulex.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
* [SCSI] SCSI and FC Transport: add netlink support for posting of transport ↵James Smart2006-09-021-0/+86
events This patch formally adds support for the posting of FC events via netlink. It is a followup to the original RFC at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114530667923464&w=2 and the initial posting at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115507374832500&w=2 The patch has been updated to optimize the send path, per the discussions in the initial posting. Per discussions at the Storage Summit and at OLS, we are to use netlink for async events from transports. Also per discussions, to avoid a netlink protocol per transport, I've create a single NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT protocol, which can then be used by all transports. This patch: - Creates new files scsi_netlink.c and scsi_netlink.h, which contains the single and shared definitions for the SCSI Transport. It is tied into the base SCSI subsystem intialization. Contains a single interface routine, scsi_send_transport_event(), for a transport to send an event (via multicast to a protocol specific group). - Creates a new scsi_netlink_fc.h file, which contains the FC netlink event messages - Adds 3 new routines to the fc transport: fc_get_event_number() - to get a FC event # fc_host_post_event() - to send a simple FC event (32 bits of data) fc_host_post_vendor_event() - to send a Vendor unique event, with arbitrary amounts of data. Note: the separation of event number allows for a LLD to send a standard event, followed by vendor-specific data for the event. Note: This patch assumes 2 prior fc transport patches have been installed: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115555807316329&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115581614930261&w=2 Sorry - next time I'll do something like making these individual patches of the same posting when I know they'll be posted closely together.
