target: Drop left-over fabric_max_sectors attribute

2015-01-09T23:22:05+00:00

Now that fabric_max_sectors is no longer used to enforce the maximum
I/O size, go ahead and drop it's left-over usage in target-core and
associated backend drivers.

target: Drop arbitrary maximum I/O size limit

2015-01-09T23:21:40+00:00

This patch drops the arbitrary maximum I/O size limit in sbc_parse_cdb(),
which currently for fabric_max_sectors is hardcoded to 8192 (4 MB for 512
byte sector devices), and for hw_max_sectors is a backend driver dependent
value.

This limit is problematic because Linux initiators have only recently
started to honor block limits MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH, and other non-Linux
based initiators (eg: MSFT Fibre Channel) can also generate I/Os larger
than 4 MB in size.

Currently when this happens, the following message will appear on the
target resulting in I/Os being returned with non recoverable status:

  SCSI OP 28h with too big sectors 16384 exceeds fabric_max_sectors: 8192

Instead, drop both [fabric,hw]_max_sector checks in sbc_parse_cdb(),
and convert the existing hw_max_sectors into a purely informational
attribute used to represent the granuality that backend driver and/or
subsystem code is splitting I/Os upon.

Also, update FILEIO with an explicit FD_MAX_BYTES check in fd_execute_rw()
to deal with the one special iovec limitiation case.

v2 changes:
  - Drop hw_max_sectors check in sbc_parse_cdb()

target: Drop left-over PHBA_PDEV set attr checks

2014-12-02T05:36:21+00:00

Now that PSCSI is only exposing four hw_* read-only device attributes,
go ahead and drop the left-over -> legacy PHBA_PDEV checks in various
se_dev_set_* code, since it's now only used by virtual devices.

target: Add EXPORT_SYMBOL for existing se_dev_set_*

2014-12-02T05:36:02+00:00

Now that target_core_backend_configfs.h macros will be using these
se_dev_set attribute functions externally to allow backend drivers
to populate different attributes, go ahead and add EXPORT_SYMBOL()
for the existing default set of 30 device attributes.

Also update target_core_backend.h with proper function prototypes.

target: Add force_pr_aptpl device attribute

2014-10-04T05:41:20+00:00

This patch adds a force_pr_aptpl device attribute used to force SPC-3 PR
Activate Persistence across Target Power Loss (APTPL) operation.  This
makes PR metadata write-out occur during state change regardless if new
PERSISTENT_RESERVE_OUT CDBs have their APTPL feature bit set.

This is useful during H/A failover in active/passive setups where all PR
state is being re-created on a different node, driven by configfs backend
device + export layout and pre-loaded $DEV/pr/res_aptpl_metadata.

target: Fix APTPL metadata handling for dynamic MappedLUNs

2014-10-04T05:40:19+00:00

This patch fixes a bug in handling of SPC-3 PR Activate Persistence
across Target Power Loss (APTPL) logic where re-creation of state for
MappedLUNs from dynamically generated NodeACLs did not occur during
I_T Nexus establishment.

It adds the missing core_scsi3_check_aptpl_registration() call during
core_tpg_check_initiator_node_acl() -> core_tpg_add_node_to_devs() in
order to replay any pre-loaded APTPL metadata state associated with
the newly connected SCSI Initiator Port.

target: encapsulate smp_mb__after_atomic()

2014-10-01T21:39:06+00:00

The target code has a rather generous helping of smp_mb__after_atomic()
throughout the code base.  Most atomic operations were followed by one
and none were preceded by smp_mb__before_atomic(), nor accompanied by a
comment explaining the need for a barrier.

Instead of trying to prove for every case whether or not it is needed,
this patch introduces atomic_inc_mb() and atomic_dec_mb(), which
explicitly include the memory barriers before and after the atomic
operation.  For now they are defined in a target header, although they
could be of general use.

Most of the existing atomic/mb combinations were replaced by the new
helpers.  In a few cases the atomic was sandwiched in
spin_lock/spin_unlock and I simply removed the barrier.

I suspect that in most cases the correct conversion would have been to
drop the barrier.  I also suspect that a few cases exist where a) the
barrier was necessary and b) a second barrier before the atomic would
have been necessary and got added by this patch.

target: Change core_dev_del_lun to take a se_lun instead of unpacked_lun

2014-10-01T21:38:48+00:00

Remove core_tpg_pre_dellun entirely, since we don't need to get/check
a pointer we already have.

Nothing else can return an error, so core_dev_del_lun can return void.

Rename core_tpg_post_dellun to remove_lun - a clearer name, now that
pre_dellun is gone.

target: Fix left-over se_lun->lun_sep pointer OOPs

2014-06-27T03:56:49+00:00

This patch fixes a left-over se_lun->lun_sep pointer OOPs when one
of the /sys/kernel/config/target/$FABRIC/$WWPN/$TPGT/lun/$LUN/alua*
attributes is accessed after the $DEVICE symlink has been removed.

To address this bug, go ahead and clear se_lun->lun_sep memory in
core_dev_unexport(), so that the existing checks for show/store
ALUA attributes in target_core_fabric_configfs.c work as expected.
