[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. Signed-off-by: Nicholas A. Bellinger Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[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.
