2011-03-23[SCSI] target: Minor sparse warning fixes and annotationsDan Carpenter
This patch addresses the majority of sparse warnings and adds proper locking annotations. It also fixes the dubious one-bit signed bitfield, for which the signed one-bit types can be 0 or -1 which can cause a problem if someone ever checks if (foo->lu_gp_assoc == 1). The current code is fine because everyone just checks zero vs non-zero. But Sparse complains about it so lets change it. The warnings look like this: include/target/target_core_base.h:228:26: error: dubious one-bit signed bitfield Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter <error27@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Fubo Chen <fubo.chen@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Nicholas A.

2011-01-14[SCSI] target: Add LIO target core v4.0.0-rc6Nicholas 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.
