[SCSI] target: Fix t_transport_aborted handling in LUN_RESET + active I/O shutdown

2011-02-28T17:23:32+00:00

This patch addresses two outstanding bugs related to
T_TASK(cmd)->t_transport_aborted handling during TMR LUN_RESET and
active I/O shutdown.

This first involves adding two explict t_transport_aborted=1
assignments in core_tmr_lun_reset() in order to signal the task has
been aborted, and updating transport_generic_wait_for_tasks() to skip
sleeping when t_transport_aborted=1 has been set.  This fixes an issue
where transport_generic_wait_for_tasks() would end up sleeping
indefinately when called from fabric module context while TMR
LUN_RESET was happening with long outstanding backend struct se_task
not yet being completed.

The second adds a missing call to
transport_remove_task_from_execute_queue() when
task->task_execute_queue=1 is set in order to fix an OOPs when
task->t_execute_list has not been dropped.  It also fixes the same
case in transport_processing_shutdown() to prevent the issue from
happening during active I/O struct se_device shutdown.

[SCSI] target: fix use after free detected by SLUB poison

2011-02-12T18:32:41+00:00

This patch moves a large number of memory release paths inside of the
configfs callback target_core_hba_item_ops->release() called from
within fs/configfs/item.c: config_item_cleanup() context.  This patch
resolves the SLUB 'Poison overwritten' warnings.

[SCSI] target: Remove procfs based target_core_mib.c code

2011-02-12T18:15:47+00:00

This patch removes the legacy procfs based target_core_mib.c code,
and moves the necessary scsi_index_tables functions and defines into
target_core_transport.c and target_core_base.h code to allow existing
fabric independent statistics to function.

This includes the removal of a handful of 'atomic_t mib_ref_count'
counters used in struct se_node_acl, se_session and se_hba to prevent
removal while using seq_list procfs walking logic.

[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.
