I am looking for a group of beta testers who are willing to test a
large batch of patches which effectively replace much of the scsi
exception and error handling code in the linux kernel. There are a few
new features as well, but the main point is to come up with something
which should be adapable, and also be more friendly to BSD derived
drivers.
My current patches are against 2.1.59. The obvious disclaimers
still apply - don't try this on a system that has critical data, and I
recommend that you backup your system before trying this.
Much of the power of the new error handling code will have to be
unleashed by the individual driver authors - at this point I mainly want
to make sure that the compatibility code to deal with drivers that haven't
been converted is 100% stable.
