<title>iov_iter: Separate type from direction and use accessor functions</title>

<content type='text'>
In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator
direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places.

Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather
then chains of bitwise-AND statements.  This makes it easier to add further
iterator types.  Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch
of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare
instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions.

Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function.
The iterator function can set that itself.  Only the direction is required.

<title>scsi: target: target/file: Add support of direct and async I/O</title>

<id>769031c92c8b85bd886f7e064430b7b512c68728</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two advantages:

* Direct I/O allows to avoid the write-back cache, so it reduces affects
  to other processes in the system.
* Async I/O allows to handle a few commands concurrently.

DIO + AIO shows a better perfomance for random write operations:

Mode: O_DSYNC Async: 1
$ ./fio --bs=4K --direct=1 --rw=randwrite --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --name=/dev/sda --runtime=20 --numjobs=2
  WRITE: bw=45.9MiB/s (48.1MB/s), 21.9MiB/s-23.0MiB/s (22.0MB/s-25.2MB/s), io=919MiB (963MB), run=20002-20020msec

Mode: O_DSYNC Async: 0
$ ./fio --bs=4K --direct=1 --rw=randwrite --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --name=/dev/sdb --runtime=20 --numjobs=2
  WRITE: bw=1607KiB/s (1645kB/s), 802KiB/s-805KiB/s (821kB/s-824kB/s), io=31.8MiB (33.4MB), run=20280-20295msec

Known issue:

DIF (PI) emulation doesn't work when a target uses async I/O, because
DIF metadata is saved in a separate file, and it is another non-trivial
task how to synchronize writing in two files, so that a following read
operation always returns a consisten metadata for a specified block.

The function fd_execute_unmap() in target_core_file.c calles

ret = file-&gt;f_op-&gt;fallocate(file, mode, pos, len);

Some filesystems implement fallocate() to return error if
length is zero (e.g. btrfs) but according to SCSI Block
Commands spec UNMAP should return success for zero length.

   - Fix iser-target OOPs during login failure (Andrea Righi + Sagi)

   - Breakup target-core free_device backend driver callback (mnc)

   - Perform TCMU add/delete/reconfig synchronously (mnc)

   - Fix TCMU multiple UIO open/close sequences (mnc)

   - Fix TCMU CHECK_CONDITION sense handling (mnc)

   - Fix target-core SAM_STAT_BUSY + TASK_SET_FULL handling (mnc + nab)

With this patch free_device is now used to free what is allocated in the
alloc_device callback and destroy_device tears down the resources that are
setup in the configure_device callback.

This patch will be needed in the next patch where tcmu needs
to be able to look up the device in the destroy callback.

This patch fixes zero-length READ and WRITE handling in target/FILEIO,
which was broken a long time back by:

Since:

  commit d81cb44726f050d7cf1be4afd9cb45d153b52066
  Author: Paolo Bonzini &lt;pbonzini@redhat.com&gt;
  Date:   Mon Sep 17 16:36:11 2012 -0700

      target: go through normal processing for all zero-length commands

which moved zero-length READ and WRITE completion out of target-core,
to doing submission into backend driver code.

To address this, go ahead and invoke target_complete_cmd() for any
non negative return value in fd_do_rw().
