  • The Linux-iSCSI.org target module is a full featured in-kernel
    software implementation of iSCSI target mode (RFC-3720) for the
    current WIP mainline target v4.1 infrastructure code for the v3.1
    kernel. More information can be found here:

    http://linux-iscsi.org/wiki/ISCSI

    This includes support for:

    * RFC-3720 defined request / response state machines and support for
    all defined iSCSI operation codes from Section 10.2.1.2 using libiscsi
    include/scsi/iscsi_proto.h PDU definitions
    * Target v4.1 compatible control plane using the generic layout in
    target_core_fabric_configfs.c and fabric dependent attributes
    within /sys/kernel/config/target/iscsi/ subdirectories.
    * Target v4.1 compatible iSCSI statistics based on RFC-4544 (iSCSI MIBS)
    * Support for IPv6 and IPv4 network portals in M:N mapping to TPGs
    * iSCSI Error Recovery Hierarchy support
    * Per iSCSI connection RX/TX thread pair scheduling affinity
    * crc32c + crc32c_intel SSEv4 instruction offload support using libcrypto
    * CHAP Authentication support using libcrypto
    * Conversion to use internal SGl allocation with iscsit_alloc_buffs() ->
    transport_generic_map_mem_to_cmd()
