[SCSI] ibmvstgt: Port from tgt to SCST
The current ibmvstgt and libsrp kernel modules are based on the tgt
infrastructure - these modules need the scsi_tgt kernel module and the tgtd
user space process in order to function properly. This patch modifies the
ibmvstgt and the libsrp kernel modules such that both use the SCST storage
target framework instead of tgt. Note: ibmvstgt is the only user of libsrp.
infrastructure. Both modules need the scsi_tgt kernel module and the tgtd user
space process in order to function properly. This patch modifies the ibmvstgt
and the libsrp kernel modules such that both use the SCST storage target
framework instead of tgt. Porting ibmvstgt to SCST is required for upstream
acceptance of SCST.
This patch introduces one backwards-incompatible change, namely that the
path of the ibmvstgt sysfs attributes is modified.
This patch introduces one backwards-incompatible change, namely that the path
of the ibmvstgt sysfs attributes is modified. This change is unavoidable
because this patch dissociates ibmvstgt target instances from a SCSI host
instance.
Note: this patch does compile, is checkpatch clean and does not introduce any
new sparse warnings. This patch has not been tested in any other way
however. The primary purpose of this patch is to invite feedback about the
chosen approach.
Notes:
- ibmvstgt is the only user of libsrp.
- A 2.6.35 kernel tree with this patch applied does compile cleanly, the patch
itself is checkpatch clean and does not introduce any new sparse warnings.
This patch has not been tested in any other way however. The primary purpose
of this patch is to invite feedback about the chosen approach.
