[PATCH v2 0/5] split pci module out of core module

[PATCH v2 0/5] split pci module out of core module

[Ming Lin]

From: Ming Lin <ming.l@ssi.samsung.com>

We'll have nvme over fabric dirver soon.
This series split nvme pci module out of nvme core module.

nvme.ko is split into 2 modules:
nvme-core.ko: the core part
nvme.ko: the PCI driver

v2:
  - add Sagi's patch to take proper references to the transport driver on open
  - add review tags
  - don't change the CONFIG name

Ming Lin (4):
  nvme: move timeout variables to core.c and export it
  nvme: export more functions
  nvme: split dev_list_lock
  nvme: split pci module out of core module

Sagi Grimberg (1):
  nvme/host: reference the fabric module for each bdev open callout

[PATCH v2 1/5] nvme/host: reference the fabric module for each bdev open callout

[Ming Lin]

From: Sagi Grimberg <sagig@mellanox.com>

We don't want to be able to unload the fabric driver when we have
openened referenced to our namespaces. Thus, for each nvme_open we
take a reference on the fabric driver and put it in nvme_release.
This behavior is consistent with the scsi model.

This resolves the panic when unloading a fabric module with
mpath holders.

Ok, let's move all the exports into a single patch then.

Can I suggest the following:

 - patch 1: as-is

 - patch 4: as-is
 - patch 5: all existing changes, plus all exports
