That's all very good. But current infrastructure can not support BIDI+DIFF. Because you we'll need *two* diff vectors one for each side. Now in fact at the block layer this is actually supported. Since BIDI is two requests, and each can have its own DIFF bio. But on the scsi layer this is not implemented. So I'd say: *For now DIFF and BIDI are mutually exclusive.* (You'll need someone to love these new commands a lot in order to enable it) > Vlad > Cheers Boaz -- 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
