Re: open-iscsi kernel

[Michael Christie]

I am not sure what the second sentence about it really being about the initiator means.

The kernel dir in the open-iscsi dir is not used any more for newer kernels. If you have a older supported kernel then you can use the kernel modules by doing

make kernel

They are not updated any more though. They are for older setups.

For newer kernels you should use the iscsi modules that come with a stable kernel.org kernel or a distro kernel.

does the kernel sub directory in the source tree matter any more these days? considering open-iscsi is really about the initiator these days?

(I had the same question.)

No git tree for the latest code?

I guess following scsi tree is approximation. However, my patch is never appeared in the tree.

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi.git/

How(or where) can I know the patch I submitted to the open-iscsi
kernel side is really merge to open-iscsi (or scsi) git tree?

I used to have a kernel.org iscsi kernel tree, but I have been getting
maybe 1 patch every 6 months that I have to submit/resubmit myself (that
is compated to where emulex or qlogic just sends to the list and I just
have to review/ack), so there was not point in keeping up the tree.

If you send the patch to only open-iscsi then I send to linux-scsi.
James then picks it up and when that happens you get a email about if it
went into the misc or rc branch of the scsi tree. If you send to the
linux-scsi list and I just ack/review it then normally James picks it up
and then you also get a mail about which branch he put it. I do not know
why he would not pick up your patch after I acked/reviewed it on the
linux-scsi list this time. He probably has just been missing it.

I see. Thanks.
I'll watch James's tree.
