Hi Bart, Few more questions/comments, > The individual patches are: > 0001-ib_srp-Enlarge-block-layer-timeout.patch > 0002-ib_srp-Eliminate-state-SRP_TARGET_CONNECTING.patch > 0003-ib_srp-Introduce-srp_handle_qp_err.patch > 0004-ib_srp-Suppress-superfluous-error-messages.patch > 0005-ib_srp-Avoid-that-SCSI-error-handling-causes-trouble.patch > 0006-ib_srp-Introduce-the-helper-function-srp_remove_targ.patch > 0007-ib_srp-Eliminate-state-SRP_TARGET_DEAD.patch > 0008-ib_srp-Keep-processing-commands-during-host-removal.patch > 0009-ib_srp-Make-srp_disconnect_target-wait-for-IB-comple.patch > 0010-ib_srp-Document-sysfs-attributes.patch > 0011-srp_transport-Fix-atttribute-registration.patch > 0012-srp_transport-Simplify-attribute-initialization-code.patch > 0013-srp_transport-Document-sysfs-attributes.patch > 0014-ib_srp-Allow-SRP-disconnect-through-sysfs.patch > 0015-ib_srp-Maintain-a-single-connection-per-I_T-nexus.patch > 0016-srp_transport-Add-transport-layer-error-handling.patch > 0017-ib_srp-Add-dev_loss_tmo-support.patch > 0018-ib_srp-Remove-SCSI-devices-upon-port-down-event.patch > 0019-scsi_transport_srp-Fail-I-O-faster.patch I understand that as a whole, this series makes SRP to function better in HA schems, however, can you break this list of patches to cleanups, new functionality and actual HA related bug fixes and concrete improvements. Also, if you can spare some high level words on the design directions/decisions taken as the patch series evolved, as this effort in underway for some time now. Also for V6 -- next-time -- etc, please make sure to have Vn to appear in the [PATCH] brackets, as it critical when folks browse between different versions/postings of your to the same patch set, if you use git format-patch, this is easily achieved with --subject-prefix="PATCH Vn" Or. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
