	Pass the sense reason as an explicit return value from the I/O submission path instead of storing it in struct se_cmd and using negative return values. This cleans up a lot of the code pathes, and with the sparse annotations for the new sense_reason_t type allows for much better error checking. (nab: Convert spc_emulate_modesense + spc_emulate_modeselect to use sense_reason_t with Roland's MODE SELECT changes) Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.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.
