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

>>>>>>>>>> The TCM v4 fabric module script generator <<<<<<<<<<
Greetings all,
This document is intended to be a mini-HOWTO for using the tcm_mod_builder.py
script to generate a brand new functional TCM v4 fabric .ko module of your very own,
that once built can be immediately be loaded to start access the new TCM/ConfigFS
fabric skeleton, by simply using:
modprobe $TCM_NEW_MOD
mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD
This script will create a new drivers/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD/, and will do the following
*) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
->make_nodeacl(), ->drop_nodeacl(), ->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg()
->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn(). These are created into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
*) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
*) Based on user defined T10 Proto_Ident for the new fabric module being built,
the TransportID / Initiator and Target WWPN related handlers for
SPC-3 persistent reservation are automatically generated in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
using drivers/target/target_core_fabric_lib.c logic.
*) NOP API calls for all other Data I/O path and fabric dependent attribute logic
in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
tcm_mod_builder.py depends upon the mandatory '-p $PROTO_IDENT' and '-m
$FABRIC_MOD_name' parameters, and actually running the script looks like:
target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target# python tcm_mod_builder.py -p iSCSI -m tcm_nab5000
tcm_dir: /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../
Set fabric_mod_name: tcm_nab5000
Set fabric_mod_dir:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000
Using proto_ident: iSCSI
Creating fabric_mod_dir:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_base.h
Using tcm_mod_scan_fabric_ops:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../include/target/target_core_fabric_ops.h
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_fabric.c
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_fabric.h
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_configfs.c
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kbuild
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kconfig
Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kbuild..? [yes,no]: yes
Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kconfig..? [yes,no]: yes
At the end of tcm_mod_builder.py. the script will ask to add the following
line to drivers/target/Kbuild:
obj-$(CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000) += tcm_nab5000/
and the same for drivers/target/Kconfig:
source "drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kconfig"
*) Run 'make menuconfig' and select the new CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000 item:
<M> TCM_NAB5000 fabric module
*) Build using 'make modules', once completed you will have:
target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git# ls -la drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/

*) Add more T10 proto_idents
*) Make tcm_mod_dump_fabric_ops() smarter and generate function pointer
