2011-10-24	target: make the ->get_cdb method optional	Christoph Hellwig
	The most commonly used file, iblock and rd backends have no use for a per-task CDB and thus don't need a method to copy it into their otherwise unused CDB fields. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>
2011-07-22	target: Follow up core updates from AGrover and HCH (round 4)	Andy Grover
	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) Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <agrover@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>
2011-07-22	target: Core cleanups from AGrover (round 1)	Andy Grover
	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 Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <agrover@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>
2011-01-14	[SCSI] target: Add LIO target core v4.0.0-rc6	Nicholas Bellinger
	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.] Signed-off-by: Nicholas A.
