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: 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: More core cleanups from AGrover (round 2)

2011-07-22T09:37:43+00:00

This patch contains the squashed version of second round of target core
cleanups and simplifications and Andy and Co.   It also contains a handful
of fixes to address bugs the original series and other minor cleanups.

Here is the condensed shortlog:

target: Remove unneeded casts to void*
target: Rename get_lun_for_{cmd,tmr} to lookup_{cmd,tmr}_lun
target: Make t_task a member of se_cmd, not a pointer
target: Handle functions returning "-2"
target: Use cmd->se_dev over cmd->se_lun->lun_se_dev
target: Embed qr in struct se_cmd
target: Replace embedded struct se_queue_req with a list_head
target: Rename list_heads that are nodes in struct se_cmd to "*_node"
target: Fold transport_device_setup_cmd() into lookup_{tmr,cmd}_lun()
target: Make t_mem_list and t_mem_list_bidi members of t_task
target: Add comment & cleanup transport_map_sg_to_mem()
target: Remove unneeded checks in transport_free_pages()

(Roland: Fix se_queue_req removal leftovers OOPs)
(nab: Fix transport_lookup_tmr_lun failure case)
(nab: Fix list_empty(&cmd->t_task.t_mem_bidi_list) inversion bugs)

target: Remove unnecessary *cdb transport_get_lun_for_cmd parameter

2011-07-22T09:37:42+00:00

This patch removes the now unnecessary 'unsigned char *cdb' function
parameter from transport_get_lun_for_cmd().  This also includes updating
lio-target, tcm_loop and tcm_fc usage of transport_get_lun_for_cmd().

[SCSI] target: Add LIO target core v4.0.0-rc6

2011-01-14T16:12:29+00:00

LIO target is a full featured in-kernel target framework with the
following feature set:

High-performance, non-blocking, multithreaded architecture with SIMD
support.

Advanced SCSI feature set:

    * Persistent Reservations (PRs)
    * Asymmetric Logical Unit Assignment (ALUA)
    * Protocol and intra-nexus multiplexing, load-balancing and failover (MC/S)
    * Full Error Recovery (ERL=0,1,2)
    * Active/active task migration and session continuation (ERL=2)
    * Thin LUN provisioning (UNMAP and WRITE_SAMExx)

Multiprotocol target plugins

Storage media independence:

    * Virtualization of all storage media; transparent mapping of IO to LUNs
    * No hard limits on number of LUNs per Target; maximum LUN size ~750 TB
    * Backstores: SATA, SAS, SCSI, BluRay, DVD, FLASH, USB, ramdisk, etc.

Standards compliance:

    * Full compliance with IETF (RFC 3720)
    * Full implementation of SPC-4 PRs and ALUA

Significant code cleanups done by Christoph Hellwig.
