Sreekanth, what's the target upstream kernel version for this feature? Just want to get a feel for the timing. As you've already submitted these upstream, getting them into 21.04 should be no problem at all.
Also, do you expect (or desire) us to pull these back into 5.4 at some point, or are you fine with them landing in the current mainline kernel and find their way into Ubuntu 20.04 via the HWE kernel later next year? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1899802 Title: [Ubuntu 21.04 FEAT] mpt3sas: Request to include the patch set which supports topology where zoning is enabled in expander Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Request to include patch set "PATCH 00/14] mpt3sas: Add support for multi-port path topology" which will support the topologies where zoning is enabled in the expander as shown below, Zone 1 Zone 2 |-----------------| |----------------| | HD1 .....

So to support these types of topology we need below patch set in the driver. https://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=160226366707807&w=2 So, requesting you include this patch for next upcoming Ubuntu kernel release. Currently we have posted this patch set to upstream community and they yet to review this patch set. Meanwhile If I get the base kernel source code for next upcoming Ubuntu kernel then I can prepare the patches over this base kernel source and share it in this BZ.
