    Merge branch 'sbp-target-merge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending · 2c13bc0f
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull sbp-2 (firewire) target mode support from Nicholas Bellinger:
     "The FireWire SBP-2 Target is a driver for using an IEEE-1394
      connection as a SCSI transport.  This module uses the SCSI Target
      framework to expose LUNs to other machines attached to a FireWire bus,
      in effect acting as a FireWire hard disk similar to FireWire Target
      Disk mode on many Apple computers.
    
      Also included are the two drivers/firewire/ patches required by
      sbp-target to access fw_request fabric speed needed for mgt_agent
      TCODE_WRITE_BLOCK_REQUEST ops, and exporting fw_card kref logic used
      when creating/destroying active session references to individual
      endpoints.
    
      A credit goes to Chris in being able to get this code up and running
      so quickly w/o any target core changes, and special thanks goes out to
      Stefan Richter + Clemens Ladisch + Andy Grover for their help in
      getting this driver ready for mainline.  Also, one of Chris's goals
      was to be able to connect sbp-target to a PowerPC based MacOS-X based
      client, that he accomplished along the way in this obligatory
      screenshot:

      Great work Chris + linux-1394 team !!"
