This patch converts rd_build_device_space() to return errno usage
for failures in rd_create_virtdevice().

[SCSI] target: Convert backend ->create_virtdevice() call to return ERR_PTR

2011-03-23T16:36:24+00:00

This patch converts the target_core_store_dev_enable() -> struct
se_subsystem_api->create_virtdevice() call to return proper ERR_PTR values
back up to configfs logic during backend dependent struct se_device ENABLE
exception conditions.

Along with the change to target_core_configfs.c, this includes converting IBLOCK,
FILEIO, pSCSI, and RAMDISK_* backend subsystem plugins to obtain upper level
PTR_ERR return codes (where available), and return via ERR_PTR during a
*_create_virtdev() failure.

drivers: remove extraneous includes of smp_lock.h

These were missed the last time I cleaned this up
globally, because of code moving around or new code
getting merged.

[SCSI] target: Add LIO target core v4.0.0-rc6

2011-01-14T16:12:29+00:00

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.]
