Hello,Alasdair and Mike:
I am going to add our vendor specific Huawei scsi device handler based on scsi_dh
framework into the linux/drivers/scsi/device_handler directory.
Is it possible to be merged into the device handler list?
I am looking forward to your reply.
Best withes to you!

Any new device must support ALUA, other device handlers are legacy
only.
And btw, the right list for this is linux-scsi.

Hi, Christoph Hellwig
Thanks for your reply. But I am a little confused:
Our Huawei scsi device handler will support ALUA. Besides , some new enhancements such as error self negotiation
on the scsi (maybe NMVe in the future) error status handling to enhance reliability. Here are two choices:
1) Alter the scsi_dh_alua.c directly and make a generic way to handle error status.
2) Add a new file named scsi_dh_huawei.c which implements the ALUA feature and error negotiation feature.
Can those two choices be accepted by linux-scsi?

The choice is
(3) get your enhancements standardized in T10 and NVMe.
