<id>urn:sha1:ee48345e1ccaaa7a9f0a8b34c694a68286ac78fa</id>
<content type='text'>
Move core_alua_check_nonop_delay() to transport_handle_cdb_direct() so the
iSCSI target driver doesn't have to call as many core functions
directly. We will eventually merge transport_handle_cdb_direct and
target_submit so iSCSI and the other drivers call a common function.

It will also be helpful as preparation for future changes which allow the
iSCSI target to defer command submission to the LIO submission workqueue,
because we will have a common submission function for that which will be
based on transport_handle_cdb_direct()/target_submit().

<title>scsi: target: Have drivers report if they support direct submissions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:194605d45dcb511983caca699d81855693b25fe0</id>
<content type='text'>
In some cases, like with multiple LUN targets or where the target has to
respond to transport level requests from the receiving context it can be
better to defer cmd submission to a helper thread. If the backend driver
blocks on something like request/tag allocation it can block the entire
target submission path and other LUs and transport IO on that session.

In other cases like single LUN targets with storage that can support all
the commands that the target can queue, then it's best to submit the cmd
to the backend from the target's cmd receiving context.

Subsequent commits will allow the user to config what they prefer, but
drivers like loop can't directly submit because they can be called from a
context that can't sleep. And, drivers like vhost-scsi can support direct
submission, but need to keep their default behavior of deferring execution
to avoid possible regressions where the backend can block.

Make the drivers tell LIO core if they support direct submissions and their
current default, so we can prevent users from misconfiguring the system and
initialize devices correctly.

Subsequent commits add more on/off type of settings to the
target_core_fabric_ops struct so this makes write_pending_must_be_called a
bit field instead of a bool to better organize the settings.

Allow target_get_sess_cmd() users to pass in the cmd counter they want to
use. Right now we pass in the session's cmd counter but in a subsequent
commit iSCSI will switch from per session to per conn.

iSCSI needs to allocate its cmd counter per connection for MCS support
where we need to stop and wait on commands running on a connection instead
of per session. This moves the cmd counter allocation to
target_setup_session() which is used by drivers that need the stop+wait
behavior per session.

xcopy doesn't need stop+wait at all, so we will be OK moving the cmd
counter allocation outside of transport_init_session().

Many fabric modules provide their own implementation of enable attribute in
tpg.

Provide a way to remove code duplication in the fabric modules and
automatically add "enable" attribute if a fabric module has an
implementation of fabric_enable_tpg().

<content type='text'>
loop and vhost/scsi do their target cmd submission from driver
workqueues. This allows them to avoid an issue where the backend may block
waiting for resources like tags/requests, mem/locks, etc and that ends up
blocking their entire submission path and for the case of vhost-scsi both
the submission and completion path.

This patch adds a helper drivers can use to submit from a LIO workqueue.
This code will then be extended in the next patches to fix the plugging of
backend devices.

We are only converting vhost/loop initially, but the workqueue based
submission will work for other drivers and have similar benefits where the
main target loops will not end up blocking one some backend resource.
