target: Bump version to v4.1.0-rc1-ml

2011-07-22T09:37:49+00:00

This patch bumps the target core version to v4.1.0-rc1 now that we are
in sync with upstream lio-core-2.6.git/master

target: Update QUEUE ALGORITHM MODIFIER control page default

2011-07-22T09:37:49+00:00

This patch adds the default 'Unrestricted reordering allowed' for SCSI
control mode page QUEUE ALGORITHM MODIFIER on a per se_device basis in
target_modesense_control() following spc4r23.  This includes a new
emuluate_rest_reord configfs attribute that currently (only) accepts
zero to signal 'Unrestricted reordering allowed' in control mode page
usage by the backend target device.

target: Follow up core updates from AGrover and HCH (round 4)

2011-07-22T09:37:48+00:00

This patch contains the squashed version of forth round series cleanups
from Andy and Christoph following the post heavy lifting in the preceeding:
'Eliminate usage of struct se_mem' and 'Make all control CDBs scatter-gather'
changes.  This also includes a conversion of target core and the v3.0
mainline fabric modules (loopback and tcm_fc) to use pr_debug and the
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG infrastructure!

These have been squashed into this third and final round for v3.1.

target: Remove ifdeffed code in t_g_process_write
target: Remove direct ramdisk code
target: Rename task_sg_num to task_sg_nents
target: Remove custom debug macros for pr_debug. Use pr_err().
target: Remove custom debug macros in mainline fabrics
target: Set WSNZ=1 in block limits VPD. Abort if WRITE_SAME sectors = 0
target: Remove transport do_se_mem_map callback
target: Further simplify transport_free_pages
target: Redo task allocation return value handling
target: Remove extra parentheses
target: change alloc_task call to take *cdb, not *cmd

(nab: Fix bogus struct file assignments in fd_do_readv and fd_do_writev)

target: Eliminate usage of struct se_mem

2011-07-22T09:37:48+00:00

Both backstores and fabrics use arrays of struct scatterlist to describe
data buffers. However TCM used struct se_mems, basically a linked list
of scatterlist entries. We are able to simplify the code by eliminating
this intermediate data structure and just using struct scatterlist[]
throughout.

Also, moved attachment of task to cmd out of transport_generic_get_task
and into allocate_control_task and allocate_data_tasks. The reasoning
is that it's nonintuitive that get_task should automatically add it to
the cmd's task list -- it should just return an allocated, initialized
task. That's all it should do, based on the function's name, so either the
function shouldn't do it, or the name should change to encapsulate the
entire essence of what it does.

(nab: Fix compile warnings in tcm_fc, and make transport_kmap_first_data_page
 honor sg->offset for SGLs from contigious memory with TCM_Loop, and
 fix control se_cmd descriptor memory leak)

target: Pass 2nd param of transport_split_cdb by value

2011-07-22T09:37:48+00:00

Since sectors is not modified, it's more straightforward to do this.

target: Enforce 1 page max for control cdb buffer sizes

2011-07-22T09:37:48+00:00

Due to all cdbs' data buffers being referenced by scatterlists, buffers
of more than a page are not contiguous. Instead of handling this in all
control command handlers, we may be able to get away with just limiting
control cdb data buffers to one page. The only control CDBs we handle that
have potentially large data buffers are REPORT LUNS and UNMAP, so if we
didn't want to live with this limitation, they would need to be modified
to walk the pages in the data buffer's sgl.

target: Make all control CDBs scatter-gather

2011-07-22T09:37:48+00:00

Previously, some control CDBs did not allocate memory in pages for their
data buffer, but just did a kmalloc. This patch makes all cdbs allocate
pages.

This has the benefit of streamlining some paths that had to behave
differently when we used two allocation methods. The downside is that
all accesses to the data buffer need to kmap it before use, and need to
handle data in page-sized chunks if more than a page is needed for a given
command's data buffer.

Finally, note that cdbs with no data buffers are handled a little
differently. Before, SCSI_NON_DATA_CDBs would not call get_mem at all
(they'd be in the final else in transport_allocate_resources) but now
these will make it into generic_get_mem, but just not allocate any
buffers.

target: Implement Block Device Characteristics VPD page

2011-07-22T09:37:47+00:00

Implement page B1h, Block Device Characteristics, so that we can report
a medium rotation rate of 1 (non-rotating / solid state) if the
is_nonrot device attribute is set; we update the iblock backend to set
this attribute if the underlying Linux block device has its nonrot
flag set.

target: Add SCF_EMULATE_QUEUE_FULL -> transport_handle_queue_full

2011-07-22T09:37:45+00:00

This patch adds SCF_EMULATE_QUEUE_FULL support using -EAGAIN failures
via transport_handle_queue_full() to signal queue full in completion
path TFO->queue_data_in() and TFO->queue_status() callbacks.

This is done using a new se_cmd->transport_qf_callback() to handle
the following queue full exception cases within target core:

*) TRANSPORT_COMPLETE_OK (for completion path queue full)

*) TRANSPORT_COMPLETE_QF_WP (for TRANSPORT_WRITE_PENDING queue full)

*) transport_send_check_condition_and_sense() failure paths in
   transport_generic_request_failure() and transport_generic_complete_ok()

All logic is driven using se_device->qf_work_queue -> target_qf_do_work()
to to requeue outstanding se_cmd at the head of se_dev->queue_obj->qobj_list
for transport_processing_thread() execution.

Tested using tcm_qla2xxx with MAX_OUTSTANDING_COMMANDS=128 for FCP READ
to trigger the TRANSPORT_COMPLETE_OK queue full cases, and a simulated
TFO->write_pending() -EAGAIN failure to trigger TRANSPORT_COMPLETE_QF_WP.
