Vladislav Bolkhovitin 2fa4898b5e Modified patch from Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>:
The range unmapped by the scst_vdisk handler when processing an UNMAP command
is not correct. The patch below fixes that and also prevents that the following
kernel crash can be triggered on the target:

Invoking truncate_range() with an end len that is not page-size aligned
triggers it. In other words, with a block size that is below
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE some UNMAP commands could trigger a kernel bug. I think
it's better to print an error message and to skip an UNMAP command
instead of triggering a kernel oops.

This is the SCST development repository. It contains not a single
project SCST as one can think, but a number of them, which are divided
as the following:

1. SCST core in scst/ subdirectory

2. Administration utility for SCST core scstadmin in scstadmin/

3. Target drivers in own subdirectories qla2x00t/, iscsi-scst/, etc.

4. User space programs in usr/ subdirectory, like fileio_tgt.

5. Some various docs in doc/ subdirectory.

Those subprojects are in most cases independent from each other,
although some of them depend from the SCST core. They put in the single
repository only to simplify their development, they are released
independently.

Thus, use "make all" only if you really need to build everything.
Otherwise build only what you need, like for iSCSI-SCST:

make scst scst_install iscsi iscsi_install

For more information about each subproject see their README files.
