  • This patch contains the squashed version of forth round series cleanups
    from Andy and Christoph following the post heavy lifting in the preceeding:
    'Eliminate usage of struct se_mem' and 'Make all control CDBs scatter-gather'
    changes. This also includes a conversion of target core and the v3.0
    mainline fabric modules (loopback and tcm_fc) to use pr_debug and the
    CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG infrastructure!

    These have been squashed into this third and final round for v3.1.

    target: Remove ifdeffed code in t_g_process_write
    target: Remove direct ramdisk code
    target: Rename task_sg_num to task_sg_nents
    target: Remove custom debug macros for pr_debug. Use pr_err().
    target: Remove custom debug macros in mainline fabrics
    target: Set WSNZ=1 in block limits VPD. Abort if WRITE_SAME sectors = 0
    target: Remove transport do_se_mem_map callback
    target: Further simplify transport_free_pages
    target: Redo task allocation return value handling
    target: Remove extra parentheses
    target: change alloc_task call to take *cdb, not *cmd

    (nab: Fix bogus struct file assignments in fd_do_readv and fd_do_writev)

  • This patch contains the squashed version of a number of cleanups and
    minor fixes from Andy's initial series (round 1) for target core this
    past spring. The condensed log looks like:

    target: use errno values instead of returning -1 for everything
    target: Rename transport_calc_sg_num to transport_init_task_sg
    target: Fix leak in error path in transport_init_task_sg
    target/pscsi: Remove pscsi_get_sh() usage
    target: Make two runtime checks into WARN_ONs
    target: Remove hba queue depth and convert to spin_lock_irq usage
    target: dev->dev_status_queue_obj is unused
    target: Make struct se_queue_req.cmd type struct se_cmd *
    target: Remove __transport_get_qr_from_queue()
    target: Rename se_dev->g_se_dev_list to se_dev_node
    target: Remove struct se_global
    target: Simplify scsi mib index table code
    target: Make dev_queue_obj a member of se_device instead of a pointer
    target: remove extraneous returns at end of void functions
    target: Ensure transport_dump_vpd_ident_type returns null-terminated str
    target: Function pointers don't need to use '&' to be assigned
    target: Fix comment in __transport_execute_tasks()
    target: Misc style cleanups
    target: rename struct pr_reservation_template to pr_reservation
    target: Remove #defines that just perform indirection
    target: Inline transport_get_task_from_execute_queue()
    target: Minor header comment fixes

  • This patch addresses the majority of sparse warnings and adds
    proper locking annotations. It also fixes the dubious one-bit signed
    bitfield, for which the signed one-bit types can be 0 or -1 which can
    cause a problem if someone ever checks if (foo->lu_gp_assoc == 1).
    The current code is fine because everyone just checks zero vs non-zero.
    But Sparse complains about it so lets change it. The warnings look like
    this:

    include/target/target_core_base.h:228:26: error: dubious one-bit signed bitfield

  • 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.

    [jejb: fix up for new block bdev exclusive interface. Minor fixes from
    Randy Dunlap and Dan Carpenter.]
