target: remove SCF_EMULATE_CDB_ASYNC

2011-11-04T10:43:35+00:00

All ->execute_task instances now need to complete the I/O explicitly,
which can either happen synchronously or asynchronously.

Note that a lot of the CDB emulations appear to return success even if
some lowlevel operations failed.  Given that this is an existing issue
this patch doesn't change that fact.

(nab: Adding missing switch breaks in PR-IN + PR_OUT)

target: pass the se_task to the CDB emulation callback

2011-11-04T08:00:17+00:00

We want to be able to handle all CDBs through it and remove hacks like
always using the first task in a CDB in target_report_luns.

Also rename the callback to ->execute_task to better describe its use.

target: Add generic active I/O shutdown logic

2011-11-04T07:50:26+00:00

This patch adds the initial pieces of generic active I/O shutdown logic.
This is intended to be a 'opt-in' feature for fabric modules that
includes the following functions to provide a mechinism for fabric
modules to track se_cmd via se_session->sess_cmd_list:

*) target_get_sess_cmd() - Add se_cmd to sess->sess_cmd_list, called
   from fabric module incoming I/O path.
*) target_put_sess_cmd() - Check for completion or drop se_cmd from
   ->sess_cmd_list
*) target_splice_sess_cmd_list() - Splice active I/O list from
   ->sess_cmd_list to ->sess_wait_list, can called with HW fabric
   lock held.
*) target_wait_for_sess_cmds() - Walk ->sess_wait_list waiting on
   individual ->cmd_wait_comp.  Optional transport_wait_for_tasks()
   call.

target_splice_sess_cmd_list() is allowed to be called under HW fabric
lock, and performs the splice into se_sess->sess_wait_list and set
se_cmd->cmd_wait_set.  Then target_wait_for_sess_cmds() walks the list
waiting for individual target_put_sess_cmd() fabric callbacks to
complete.

It also adds TFO->check_release_cmd() to split the completion and memory
release calls, where a fabric module uses target_put_sess_cmd() to check
for I/O completion during session shutdown.  This is currently pushed out
into fabric modules as current fabric code may sleep here waiting for
TFO->check_stop_free() to complete in main response path, and because
target_wait_for_sess_cmds() calling TFO->release_cmd() to free fabric
descriptor memory directly.

target: Remove core TRANSPORT_FREE_CMD_INTR usage

2011-11-02T15:58:46+00:00

This patch drops TRANSPORT_FREE_CMD_INTR usage from target core, which
includes the removal of transport_generic_free_cmd_intr() symbol,
TRANSPORT_FREE_CMD_INTR usage in transport_processing_thread(), and
special case LUN_RESET handling to skip TRANSPORT_FREE_CMD_INTR processing
in core_tmr_drain_cmd_list().  We now expect that fabric modules will
use an internal workqueue to provide process context when releasing
se_cmd descriptor resources via transport_generic_free_cmd().

target: Remove legacy se_task->task_timer and associated logic

2011-10-24T03:22:08+00:00

This patch removes the legacy usage of se_task->task_timer and associated
infrastructure that originally was used as a way to help manage buggy backend
SCSI LLDs that in certain cases would never return back an outstanding task.

This includes the removal of target_complete_timeout_work(), timeout logic
from transport_complete_task(), transport_task_timeout_handler(),
transport_start_task_timer(), the per device task_timeout configfs attribute,
and all task_timeout associated structure members and defines in
target_core_base.h

This is being removed in preparation to make transport_complete_task() run
in lock-less mode.

target: Fix incorrect transport_sent usage

2011-10-24T03:22:06+00:00

This patch converts target-core to use se_cmd->t_transport_sent instead of
a duplicated se_cmd->transport_sent member in a handful of locations.
It also updates iscsi_target to properly use ->t_transport_sent instead of
it's own iscsi_cmd_t->transport_sent value that was not being assigned.

target: remove the task_sg_bidi field se_task and pSCSI BIDI support

2011-10-24T03:21:56+00:00

This field is never used given that BIDI handling happens at the
command and not the task level.  Remove it and the dead code in
pscsi that tries to work on it.

It also prevents pSCSI passthrough for the two currently enabled BIDI
commands now that task->task_sg_bidi support has been removed.

target: use a workqueue for I/O completions

2011-10-24T03:21:52+00:00

Instead of abusing the target processing thread for offloading I/O
completion in the backends to user context add a new workqueue.  This means
completions can be processed as fast as available CPU time allows it,
including in parallel with other completions and more importantly I/O
submission or QUEUE FULL retries.  This should give much better performance
especially on loaded systems.

As a fallout we can merge all the completed states into a single
one.

On the downside this change complicates lun reset handling a bit by
requiring us to cancel a work item only for those states that have it
initialized.  The alternative would be to either always initialize the work
item to a dummy handler, or always use the same handler and do a switch on
the state. The long term solution will be a flag that says that the command
has an initialized work item, but that's only going to be useful once we
have more users.

target: remove TRANSPORT_DEFERRED_CMD state

2011-10-24T03:21:49+00:00

We never check for this state, and it makes testing for a completed
state much harder given that it overrides the existing state.

Also remove the unused deferred_t_state which is related to it.
