Hi Martin,

This patch series prepares for constifying SCSI host templates by moving the
members that are not constant out of the SCSI host template. Please consider
this patch series for the next merge window.

Thanks,

Bart.

Changes compared to v1: fix the CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=n build.

Bart Van Assche (2):
  scsi: esas2r: Introduce scsi_template_proc_dir()
  scsi: core: Introduce a new list for SCSI proc directory entries

This is the same topic as what Krzysztof was working on in 
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/6f28acde-2177-0bc7-b06d-c704153489c0@linaro.org/

And at least we have the scsi_host_template.module issue to solve - any 
plan or progress for that?

Thanks,
John

I won't have time to work on that anytime soon, so feel free to pickup
my patchset and rework or continue on your own.

Best regards,
Krzysztof

Thanks for the feedback Krzysztof. I will keep you in Cc when I repost 
this patch series.

Bart.

Hi John,

How about the following (entirely untested) patch?


Subject: [PATCH] scsi: core: Rework the code for dropping the kernel module reference

Instead of clearing the host template module pointer if the LLD kernel
module is being unloaded, set the 'drop_module_ref' SCSI device member.
This patch prepares for constifying the SCSI host template.
