C bitfield packing order is implementation-defined: GCC packs LSB-first on little-endian targets and MSB-first on big-endian targets. The __le16 bitfield declarations for vp_index/sof_type in the 29xx extended IOCB structures produce incorrect bit positions on big-endian hosts, and Sparse cannot enforce endianness checks on bitfield members. Replace the three sets of __le16 bitfields (in els_entry_24xx_ext, els_sts_entry_24xx_ext, and abts_entry_24xx_ext) with a single __le16 scalar field and provide inline accessor functions that use proper le16_to_cpu()/cpu_to_le16() with shift-and-mask operations.

Overview
This is the source code repository of the SCST project. SCST is a collection of Linux kernel drivers that implement SCSI target functionality. The SCST project includes:
- The SCST core in the scst/ subdirectory.
- A tool for loading, saving and modifying the SCST configuration in directory scstadmin/.
- Several SCSI target drivers in the directories iscsi-scst/, qla2x00t-32gbit/, qla2x00t/, srpt/, scst_local/ and fcst/.
- User space programs in the usr/ subdirectory, e.g. fileio_tgt.
- Various documentation in the doc/ subdirectory.
Documentation
- Building and installing SCST.
- Build options: Clang, cross-compilation, and kernel module signing.
- Configuration and administration: targets, devices,
LUNs, and
/etc/scst.conf. - Core and device handlers: operating modes, module parameters, and sysfs configuration.
- Target drivers: iSCSI, iSER, QLogic Fibre Channel, SRP, FCoE, and local loopback.
- Performance tuning.
- Clustered persistent reservations: synchronization through DLM.
- T10 protection information: data integrity modes and configuration.
- Developer references: architecture and userspace handler interface (SGML sources), and sysfs interface rules.
- Contributing: code style, commit conventions, local checks, and guides to KUnit and component testing.
Current master packages
Prebuilt x86_64 packages from the latest successfully published master
build are available in the rolling
master-rpm prerelease.
These are development snapshots, not SCST releases.
The snapshot contains RPM bundles for selected Rocky Linux and Oracle Linux
UEK kernels. It also contains Ubuntu LTS bundles with scst-dkms, scstadmin
and iscsi-scst binary packages and their Debian source package files. Exact
distribution releases and RPM kernel versions are included in the asset names.
Every .tar.gz bundle has a matching .sha256 file. The complete snapshot is
replaced after each successful package workflow for the current master
commit.
QLogic target driver
Two QLogic target drivers are included in the SCST project.
The default driver is located in the qla2x00t-32gbit directory. It is the newer one.
May anyone wish to switch back to the older driver that only supported up to
16 Gb/s adapters, it is located in qla2x00t directory. To make use of the
older driver build scst with environment variable QLA_32GBIT=no set.
