On some platforms, the current logic of relying on finding new packet
solely based on signature pattern can lead to driver reading stale
packets. Though this is a bug in those platforms, reduce such exposures by
limiting reading packets until the IN pointer.
Two module parameters are introduced:
ql2xrspq_follow_inptr:
When set, on newer adapters that has queue pointer shadowing, look for
response packets only until response queue in pointer.
When reset, response packets are read based on a signature pattern
logic (old way).
ql2xrspq_follow_inptr_legacy:
Like ql2xrspq_follow_inptr, but for those adapters where there is no
queue pointer shadowing.

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/, srpt/, scst_local/ and fcst/.
- User space programs in the usr/ subdirectory, e.g. fileio_tgt.
- 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 qla2x00t-32gbit directory and it supports up to 32 Gb/s FC. 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.
