Martin K. Petersen 086fa5ff08 block: Rename blk_queue_max_sectors to blk_queue_max_hw_sectors The block layer calling convention is blk_queue_<limit name>. blk_queue_max_sectors predates this practice, leading to some confusion. Rename the function to appropriately reflect that its intended use is to set max_hw_sectors. Also introduce a temporary wrapper for backwards compability. This can be removed after the merge window is closed. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>		2010-02-26 13:58:08 +01:00

	This work was made possible by

STATUS:

o	The core setup works within limits.
o	The scsi layer seems to almost work. 
           I'm still chasing down the hang bug.
o	The block OSM is mostly functional
o	LAN OSM works with FDDI and Ethernet cards.

TO DO:

General:
o	Provide hidden address space if asked
o	Long term message flow control
o	PCI IOP's without interrupts are not supported yet
o	Push FAIL handling into the core
o	DDM control interfaces for module load etc
o       Add I2O 2.0 support (Deffered to 2.5 kernel)

Block:
o	Multiple major numbers
o	Read ahead and cache handling stuff. Talk to Ingo and people
o	Power management
o	Finish Media changers

SCSI:
o	Find the right way to associate drives/luns/busses

Lan:	
o	Performance tuning
o	Test Fibre Channel code

Tape:
o	Anyone seen anything implementing this ?
           (D.S: Will attempt to do so if spare cycles permit)
