Summary of changes between versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1
---------------------------------------------------
- Update for 2.6.26
- Support for descriptor sense format added
- Minor fixes and cleanups
- Makefiles made more packager friendly (Ruben Laban)
- Support for variable lenght CDB added
- Support for Async. Event Notifications added
- Implemented "plug-and-play" notifications about new devices in security
groups, deleted devices from security groups and changed size of a
device. They can be delivered either through AENs (if supported), or
Unit Attentions.
- New command "resync_size" added to scst_vdisk proc interface to tell
scst_vdisk to reread size of the corresponding device after it was
changed
- Added pattern matching for initiator names in SCST access control
(Gennadiy Nerubayev)
- Now only sent for execution commands are counted to wait for in TM
commands, which made processing of TM commands faster
- Now devices blocked only in reset TM commands. ABORTs, etc. now done
without devices blocking.
- scst_unregister_session_ex() removed, since there are no users of it
- New functions added to scst_user interface:
* SCST_USER_UNREGISTER_DEVICE - to unregister device, flush mem reuse
(SGV) cache and send UCMD_STATE_ON_CACHE_FREEING notifications for all
freed buffers to the user space handler. Simple device close doesn't
allow that, so all the cached buffers might look as "leaked" from the
user space handler POV.
* SCST_USER_FLUSH_CACHE - to flush mem reuse (SGV) cache and send
UCMD_STATE_ON_CACHE_FREEING notifications for all freed buffers to
the user space handler
* SCST_USER_DEVICE_CAPACITY_CHANGED - to notify SCST core that the
corresponding device has changed its capacity
- Clustering of scst_user pages added
- Added autogenerated SCSI SN in vdisk handler
- Fixed race in scst_user, which could have lead to usage of already freed
command. A misbehaving user space handler could have made ucmd to get
dead immediately after the lock is released and that is caught
now.
- Support for CentOS 5.2 added (Bart Van Assche)
- In scst_vdisk new module parameter num_threads added to specify a
number of threads for each vdisk/vcdrom. Default is 5.
- Access control docs updated
- Set memory limits according to LOWMEM, not TOTALMEM
- Major performance increase working with disk based storage
- Now task_mgmt_fn() callback called for TARGET RESET and NEXUS LOSS
functions only once for tgt_dev, which belongs to the session, from
which the corresponding request came
- SGV cache related parameters moved from scst.h to scst_sgv.h
- Log level mgmt_minor for messages like "Warning: expected transfer
length X for opcode Y" changed to be disabled by default
- Added possibility to coexist if both target driver and dev handler
need custom memory allocation. Direct consequences: (1) scst_local
can work with scst_user's devices and (2) scst_user now compatible
with iscsi-scst if put_page_callback patch not applied.
- Depecated scst_cmd_get_tgt_resp_flags() removed
- SWP and TAS parameters made changable in vdisk handler
- External interface changed to fix usage of in_atomic(). Now target
drivers and dev handlers need to explicitly supply preferred execution
context in scst_cmd_done() and scst_tgt_cmd_done()
- Handling of internal REQUEST SENSE fixed.
- Fixed SAM violation (HiSup bit must be set in INQUIRY response)
- Fixed handling of VERIFY commands that comes with BYTCHK unset
- Handling of double reset UAs made more reliable
- A lot of kernel style, checkpatch and sparse fixes (Bart Van Assche)
- In-kernel build integration (Bart Van Assche)
- Update for kernels up to 2.6.29
- A lot of fixes and cleanups (many people)
