target: Pass through I/O topology for block backstores

2013-11-12T21:44:54+00:00

In addition to block size (already implemented), passing through alignment offset, logical-to-phys block exponent, I/O granularity and optimal I/O length will allow initiators to properly handle layout on LUNs with 4K block sizes. Tested with various weird values via scsi_debug module. One thing to look at with this patch is the new block limits values -- instead of granularity 1 optimal 8192, Lio will now be returning whatever the block device says, which may affect performance.

target: Make helpers non static for EXTENDED_COPY command setup

2013-09-10T23:48:39+00:00

Both target_alloc_sgl() and transport_generic_map_mem_to_cmd() are required by EXTENDED_COPY logic when setting up internally dispatched command descriptors, so go ahead and make both of these non static.

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: Add sbc_execute_unmap() helper

2013-04-25T08:05:24+00:00

iblock_execute_unmap() and fd_execute_unmap share a lot of code. Add sbc_execute_unmap() helper to remove duplicated code for iblock_execute_unmap() and fd_execute_unmap(). Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Martin K. Petersen Cc: Nicholas Bellinger Signed-off-by: Asias He Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger

target: Rename spc_get_write_same_sectors -> sbc_get_write_same_sectors

2013-02-23T20:46:14+00:00

Trivial, but WRITE SAME is an SBC command so it seems strange for a related function (defined in target_core_sbc.c) to be in the spc_ namespace. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger

target/iblock: Use backend REQ_FLUSH hint for WriteCacheEnabled status

2013-02-13T19:27:51+00:00

This patch allows IBLOCK to check block hints in request_queue->flush_flags when reporting current backend device WriteCacheEnabled status to a remote SCSI initiator port. This is done via a se_subsystem_api->get_write_cache() call instead of a backend se_device creation time flag, as we expect REQ_FLUSH bits to possibly change from an underlying blk_queue_flush() by the SCSI disk driver, or internal raw struct block_device driver usage. Also go ahead and update iblock_execute_rw() bio I/O path code to use REQ_FLUSH + REQ_FUA hints when determining WRITE_FUA usage, and make SPC emulation code use a spc_check_dev_wce() helper to handle both types of cases for virtual backend subsystem drivers.

target: Export SPC inquiry emulation

2013-02-13T19:27:22+00:00

Some target drivers might need to access the inquiry data directly, without sending out the actual command. So export these functions. Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke Cc: Nicholas Bellinger Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger

target: Make spc_get_write_same_sectors return sector_t

2012-11-28T06:49:25+00:00

We already expect TFO->get_blocks() to return sector_t for zero value case when doing WRITE_SAME to the end of the backend device, so go ahead and return sector_t from spc_get_write_same_sectors() to handle this case properly. Also, update the single iblock_execute_write_same() caller of this code. Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Martin K. Petersen Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger

target/sbc: Seperate WRITE_SAME based on UNMAP flag in sbc_ops

2012-11-15T20:04:52+00:00

This patch adds a new sbc_ops->execute_write_same_unmap() caller for use with WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=1, and performs the ->execute_cmd() setup based this bit within sbc_setup_write_same() code. Also, makes the changes in sbc_parse_cdb() to handle a sense_reason_t return from sbc_setup_write_same() on error. Reported-by: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Martin K. Petersen Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger

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.
