* target/file: Use O_DSYNC by default for FILEIO backendsNicholas Bellinger2012-06-021-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert to use O_DSYNC for all cases at FILEIO backend creation time to avoid the extra syncing of pure timestamp updates with legacy O_SYNC during default operation as recommended by hch. Continue to do this independently of Write Cache Enable (WCE) bit, as WCE=0 is currently the default for all backend devices and enabled by user on per device basis via attrib/emulate_write_cache. This patch drops the now unnecessary fd_buffered_io= token usage that was originally signalling when to explictly disable O_SYNC at backend creation time for buffered I/O operation. This can end up being dangerous for a number of reasons during physical node failure, so go ahead and drop this option for now when O_DSYNC is used as the default. Also allow explict FUA WRITEs -> vfs_fsync_range() call to function in fd_execute_cmd() independently of WCE bit setting.

* target: remove struct se_taskChristoph Hellwig2012-05-061-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | We can use struct se_cmd for everything it did. Make sure to pass the S/G list and data direction to the execution function to ease adding back BIDI support later on. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>
* target: make the ->get_cdb method optionalChristoph Hellwig2011-10-241-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | 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>
* target: Follow up core updates from AGrover and HCH (round 4)Andy Grover2011-07-221-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
* [SCSI] target: Add LIO target core v4.0.0-rc6Nicholas Bellinger2011-01-141-0/+50
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.
