document:
- Added RHEL / CentOS to the list of officially supported kernels.
- Mentioned that regenerating the initial RAM disk is an explicit step on many
distro's.
- Replaced shell instructions for generating /etc/scst.conf by a sequence of
scstadmin commands.
- Added note about insserv.
Also it adds small HOWTO how to recompile RHEL/CentOS kernel in README_RHEL.
Also it implements some docs cleanups.

- In scst_local new experimental compile-time option to force direct processing added
- Attempt in SCST structures to separate read-mostly from read-write data to decrease cache ping-pong between CPUs
- In scst_vdisk new module parameter num_threads added to specify a number of threads for each vdisk/vcdrom. Default is 5.
- Debug logging for failed digests in iSCSI-SCST improved
- Docs updates/cleanups

an external module. When applying the SCST kernel patch to the mainstream
kernel tree with debugging and/or tracing enabled however, the resulting code
triggers a compiler error. This is because the symbols DEBUG and TRACING
conflict with symbols with the same named defined in unrelated kernel headers.
The patch below resolves these conflicts by renaming the following preprocessor
symbols:
- DEBUG into CONFIG_SCST_DEBUG.
- DEBUG_DIGEST_FAILURES into CONFIG_SCST_ISCSI_DEBUG_DIGEST_FAILURES.
- DEBUG_OOM into CONFIG_SCST_DEBUG_OOM.
- DEBUG_RETRY into CONFIG_SCST_DEBUG_RETRY.
- DEBUG_SN into CONFIG_SCST_DEBUG_SN.
- DEBUG_TM into CONFIG_SCST_DEBUG_TM.
- EXTRACHECKS into CONFIG_SCST_EXTRACHECKS.
- SCST_HIGHMEM into CONFIG_SCST_HIGHMEM.
- STRICT_SERIALIZING into CONFIG_SCST_STRICT_SERIALIZING.
- TM_DBG_GO_OFFLINE into CONFIG_SCST_TM_DBG_GO_OFFLINE. Mapped 0/1 values
into macro undefined / macro defined.
- TRACING into CONFIG_SCST_TRACING.
- USE_EXPECTED_VALUES into CONFIG_SCST_USE_EXPECTED_VALUES.
- In qla_isp/linux/isp_scst.c, renamed DEBUG into DEBUG_ISP_SCST.
- In qla_isp/..., renamed SCSI_TARGET in SCST_SCSI_TARGET.
- In qla_isp/..., renamed SCSI_TARGET_DEV in SCST_SCSI_TARGET_DEV.
Additionally, all CONFIG_SCSI_TARGET* macro's are renamed into CONFIG_SCST* in
order to avoid confusion between the STGT CONFIG-symbols and the SCST CONFIG-
symbols.
The following additional options are now configurable through Kconfig:
- CONFIG_SCST_ISCSI_DEBUG_DIGEST_FAILURES
- CONFIG_SCST_STRICT_SERIALIZING
- CONFIG_SCST_STRICT_SECURITY
- CONFIG_SCST_ALLOW_PASSTHROUGH_IO_SUBMIT_IN_SIRQ
- CONFIG_SCST_ABORT_CONSIDER_FINISHED_TASKS_AS_NOT_EXISTING
- CONFIG_SCST_USE_EXPECTED_VALUES
- CONFIG_SCST_DEBUG_OOM
- CONFIG_SCST_DEBUG_RETRY
- CONFIG_SCST_DEBUG_SN
- CONFIG_SCST_DEBUG_TM
- CONFIG_SCST_TM_DBG_GO_OFFLINE
The patch below has been verified as follows:
- Verified that the following command does not print any new warning messages:
make -s clean && make -C srpt -s clean && make -s scst iscsi-scst && make -C srpt -s
- Verified as follows that the internal SCST patches still apply cleanly:
for p in *patch; do patch -p0 --dry-run -f -s <$p; done
- Checked that the patch generated by generate-kernel-patch still applies
cleanly to the 2.6.25.7 kernel, and that the patched kernel tree still
compiles, installs and boots fine, that the iscsi-scst, ib_srpt,
scst_disk and scst_vdisk modules still load, and that iSCSI communication
still works fine. All SCST kernel configuration options that could be
enabled have been enabled during this test.

- Fixed 2 problems in scst_user on release() cleanup
- Added per-device memory limit and new scst.ko module parameter scst_max_dev_cmd_mem
- Cleanups, including important ones
- Version changed to 1.0.0-rc1
git-svn-id: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/scst/svn/trunk@411 d57e44dd-8a1f-0410-8b47-8ef2f437770f
- PRIO queue was removed from scst_user. Instead, all priority commands now queued in the head of the regular queue. The corresponding code was removed from fileio_tgt as well. It necessary, in the future the priority queue can be easily restored from this patch.
- pre_unreg_sess() was removed from struct scst_dev_type. The corresponding code was removed from SCST core as well
- Almost all /proc/scsi_tgt commands now can fail after timeout (90 seconds) with EBUSY
- Fixed possible incorrect command's retry if double RESET UA is detected.
- Many minor changes and cleanups
Also docs were updated.

- "RECEIVE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS" command handling fixed
- Obtaining device queue parameters in scst_obtain_device_parameters() changed to handle NOT READY sense
- Fixed possible dev_cmd_count underflow
- Minor iSCSI-SCST connection closing cleanups and fixes
- Semantic of other *_atomic flags changed a bit. Now they are intended only to allow SCST to optimize execution context. The corresponing functions now can *always* be called on atomic context and, if necessary, should manually determine that using scst_cmd_atomic() function and restart using corresponding *_NEED_THREAD_* return value.
- scst_cmd_get_tgt_resp_flags() and SCST_TSC_FLAG_STATUS flag made obsolete and replaced by scst_cmd_get_is_send_status(). All in-tree drivers updated accordingly
- Cleanup: preprocessing_done_atomic removed, now preprocessing_done() callback always called on thread context
- 64-bit cleanups
- Documented that iscsi-scst-adm is currently broken and explained why
- In user space Makefile's added possibility to specify external linker flags
- Minor performance optimizations
- Other minor cleanups
