[Qemu-devel] [GIT PULL] tcm_vhost: Initial merge of vhost level target fabric driver

[Nicholas A. Bellinger]

Hi Linus,

Here is the PULL request for the initial merge of tcm_vhost based on
RFC-v5 code with MST's ACK appended to the initial merge commit.
As promised, the commit is available from two different branches for you
to consider merging as for-3.6 code.

The 'for-next-merge' branch based on mainline commit 7409a6657ae using
3.5-rc2 code contains two duplicates of pre-merge vhost patch
dependencies that have already been merged into mainline via net-next.
This commit is also in the 07302012 -next patchset, and available here:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git 
for-next-merge

Or the 'for-linus' branch containing an -rc0 head @ commit bdc0077af57:

   Merge tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/../jejb/scsi)

rebased up to the last commit in scsi-misc required for virtio-scsi
client LLD scanning logic to function properly with tcm_vhost fabric
ports, is available here:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git for-linus

Both branches have gotten recent testing and have been running
over-night small block random I/O tests connected to raw block flash
backends.  The same diffstat below will result from pulling either
branch.

Also, the incremental patch to address MST's last round of post-merge
comments has been sent to the lists for feedback this afternoon.  This
will be included into the usual post -rc1 PULL via 3.6-rc-fixes, along
with any other bits that end up changing post-merge.

Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Thank you!
