target: Convert se_device statistics to atomic_long_t

2013-11-14T02:34:55+00:00

This patch converts the handful of se_device statistics to type
atomic_long_t, instead of using se_device->stats_lock when
incrementing these values.

More importantly, go ahead and drop the spinlock usage within
transport_lookup_cmd_lun() fast-path code.

target: Core does not need blkdev.h

2013-11-12T21:45:24+00:00

Target core does not depend on the block layer, only backstores that
use the block layer do.

target: kill struct se_subsystem_dev

2012-11-07T04:55:43+00:00

Simplify the code a lot by killing the superflous struct se_subsystem_dev.
Instead se_device is allocated early on by the backend driver, which allocates
it as part of its own per-device structure, borrowing the scheme that is for
example used for inode allocation.

target: remove obvious warnings

2012-03-16T02:16:09+00:00

Get rid of a bunch of write-only variables.  In a number of cases I
suspect actual bugs to be present, so I left all of those for a second
look.

target: Use array_zalloc for device_list

2012-03-16T02:15:51+00:00

Turns an order-8 allocation into slab-sized ones, thereby preventing
allocation failures with memory fragmentation.

This likely saves memory as well, as the slab allocator can pack objects
more tightly than the buddy allocator.

target: remove useless casts

2011-12-14T11:28:07+00:00

A reader should spend an extra moment whenever noticing a cast,
because either something special is going on that deserves extra
attention or, as is all too often the case, the code is wrong.

These casts, afaics, have all been useless.  They cast a foo* to a
foo*, cast a void* to the assigned type, cast a foo* to void*, before
assigning it to a void* variable, etc.

In a few cases I also removed an additional &...[0], which is equally
useless.

Lastly I added three FIXMEs where, to the best of my judgement, the
code appears to have a bug.  It would be good if someone could check
these.

target: header reshuffle, part2

2011-12-14T11:26:05+00:00

This reorganized the headers under include/target into:

 - target_core_base.h stays as is with all target-wide data stuctures and defines
 - target_core_backend.h contains the whole interface to I/O backends
 - target_core_fabric.h contains the whole interface to fabric modules

Except for those only the various configfs macro headers stay around.
