2 * transport_class.c - implementation of generic transport classes
3 * using attribute_containers

9 * The basic idea here is to allow any "device controller" (which
10 * would most often be a Host Bus Adapter to use the services of one
11 * or more tranport classes for performing transport specific
12 * services. Transport specific services are things that the generic
13 * command layer doesn't want to know about (speed settings, line
14 * condidtioning, etc), but which the user might be interested in.
15 * Thus, the HBA's use the routines exported by the transport classes
16 * to perform these functions. The transport classes export certain
17 * values to the user via sysfs using attribute containers.
19 * Note: because not every HBA will care about every transport
20 * attribute, there's a many to one relationship that goes like this:
22 * transport class<-----attribute container<----class device
24 * Usually the attribute container is per-HBA, but the design doesn't
25 * mandate that. Although most of the services will be specific to
26 * the actual external storage connection used by the HBA, the generic
27 * transport class is framed entirely in terms of generic devices to
28 * allow it to be used by any physical HBA in the system.

34 * transport_class_register - register an initial transport class
36 * @tclass: a pointer to the transport class structure to be initialised
38 * The transport class contains an embedded class which is used to
39 * identify it. The caller should initialise this structure with
40 * zeros and then generic class must have been initialised with the
41 * actual transport class unique name. There's a macro
42 * DECLARE_TRANSPORT_CLASS() to do this (declared classes still must

82 * actually has any device attributes associated with it (and thus
83 * saves on container storage). So it can only be used for triggering
84 * events. Use prezero and then use DECLARE_ANON_TRANSPORT_CLASS() to
85 * initialise the anon transport class storage.
