  scst_vdisk: Make vdisk_nullio size configurable
  
  Keep the default size of vdisk_nullio devices at VDISK_NULLIO_SIZE. Add
  a sysfs attribute 'size' which is the size of a vdisk device in
  bytes. Make the size of vdisk_nullio devices configurable. Accept
  "size" and "size_mb" as creation parameters for vdisk_nullio
  devices. Generate a CAPACITY DATA HAS CHANGED unit attention after size
  changes. Refuse any attempt to change the size into a number that is
  not a multiple of the block size.

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.
