[PATCH 1/7] aoe: support more AoE addresses with dynamic block device minor numbers

From: Ed Cashin
Date: Mon Oct 01 2012 - 21:59:08 EST


The ATA over Ethernet protocol uses a major (shelf) and
minor (slot) address to identify a particular storage target.
These changes remove an artificial limitation the aoe driver
imposes on the use of AoE addresses. For example, without these
changes, the slot address has a maximum of 15, but users commonly
use slot numbers much greater than that.

The AoE shelf and slot address space is often used sparsely.
Instead of using a static mapping between AoE addresses and the
block device minor number, the block device minor numbers are now
allocated on demand.
