target: Allow sbc_ops->execute_rw() to accept SGLs + data_direction

2013-09-09T21:29:28+00:00

COMPARE_AND_WRITE expects to be able to send down a DMA_FROM_DEVICE
to obtain the necessary READ payload for comparision against the
first half of the WRITE payload containing the verify user data.

Currently virtual backends expect to internally reference SGLs,
SGL nents, and data_direction, so change IBLOCK, FILEIO and RD
sbc_ops->execute_rw() to accept this values as function parameters.

Also add default sbc_execute_rw() handler for the typical case for
cmd->execute_rw() submission using cmd->t_data_sg, cmd->t_data_nents,
and cmd->data_direction).

v2 Changes:
  - Add SCF_COMPARE_AND_WRITE command flag
  - Use sbc_execute_rw() for normal cmd->execute_rw() submission
    with expected se_cmd members.

target/rd: Add ramdisk bit for NULLIO operation

2013-05-11T23:22:39+00:00

This patch adds a rd_nullio parameter that allows RAMDISK_MCP backends
to function in NULLIO mode, where all se_cmd I/O is immediately completed
in rd_execute_rw() without actually performing the SGL memory copy.

This is useful for performance testing when the ramdisk SGL memory copy
begins to eat lots of cycles during heavy small block workloads, so allow
this bit to be enabled when necessary on a per rd_dev basis.

target_core_rd: break out unterminated loop during copy

2013-02-13T19:54:29+00:00

The loop in rd_execute_rw() will never terminate if the
sg element has a zero size. Or it'll spill over into
outer space if the sg element is larger than the available
space.
So we need to add some safety catches here.

target/rd: improve sg_table lookup scalability

2013-02-13T19:27:31+00:00

Sequential scan of rd_dev->sg_table_array in rd_get_sg_table is
a serious I/O performance bottleneck for large rd LUNs. Fix this
by computing the sg_table index directly from page offset because
all sg_tables (except the last one) have the same number of pages.

Tested with 90 GiB rd_mcp LUN, where the patch improved maximal
random R/W IOPS by more than 100-150%, depending on actual
hardware and SAN setup.

target: pass sense_reason as a return value

2012-11-07T04:55:46+00:00

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)

target: remove ->get_device_rev

2012-11-07T04:55:45+00:00

Now that the reservations and ALUA code have been cleaned up there is no need
for the get_device_rev method, as we only need the standards revision in the
inquiry data, where we can hardcode it.
