Gleb Chesnokov 9a45498bc7 iscsi-scst: Document current administration interfaces
The iSCSI READMEs, HOWTO and man pages combine current code with procfs,
old daemon configuration and fixed runtime output. The result documents
invalid paths, the wrong object creation order and unsafe live commands.

Commit 08e532715d ("Remove procfs support") removed the main obsolete
interface. Commit 70eb596f60 ("Rework iSCSI aborts to make them more
correct and remove recent workarounds (one more post-IET cleanup)")
added the SCST abort callback requested by an old ToDo entry.

Use iscsi_scst.h, kernel/config.c and usr/config.c for the kernel and
daemon contract. Correct sysfs ownership, authentication limits, setup
ordering, logging and dynamic output, and remove the completed task.

Keep iscsi-scstd.conf and iscsi-scst-adm documented because current code
still consumes them, but direct new setups to scst.conf. Replace the
removed service command and warn before exposing storage, credentials,
portals or sessions.

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:

  1. The SCST core in the scst/ subdirectory.
  2. A tool for loading, saving and modifying the SCST configuration in directory scstadmin/.
  3. Several SCSI target drivers in the directories iscsi-scst/, qla2x00t-32gbit/, qla2x00t/, srpt/, scst_local/ and fcst/.
  4. User space programs in the usr/ subdirectory, e.g. fileio_tgt.
  5. Various documentation in the doc/ subdirectory.

Instructions for building and installing SCST are available in the INSTALL.md file.

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.
