Summary of changes in iSCSI-SCST between versions 1.0.0 and 1.0.1
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Update for 2.6.26
|
|
|
|
- Zero-copy feature, introduced by put_page_callback patch made
|
|
kernel compile time configurable via
|
|
CONFIG_TCP_ZERO_COPY_TRANSFER_COMPLETION_NOTIFICATION option. If you
|
|
upgrade from earlier versions, see the corresponding "[CAUTION]"
|
|
e-mail in scst-devel mailing list about possible compatibility
|
|
problems.

Summary of changes in iSCSI-SCST since it was IET
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Commands processing flow changed to work with SCST. Significant
|
|
cleanup was done. Modules and config files were renamed to allow to
|
|
run with IET on the same host.
|
|
|
|
- In IET the iSCSI negotiation isn't fully iSCSI RFC confirmed: it doesn't
|
|
support ranges of values and, more important, violates RFC in case
|
|
when in the IET config file some value for some parameter is set and
|
|
a remote initiator doesn't initiate the negotiation for this
|
|
parameter or declare its value. According to RFC, in this case IET
|
|
shall use the RFC-specified default value, but it uses config file
|
|
specified one instead. Looks like the implementation confuses IET
|
|
config file default values and iSCSI RFC ones. The default values
|
|
handling was fixed. But support for ranges remains unfixed (see ToDo
|
|
file).
|
|
|
|
- All shutdown/restart problems (resource leaks, hangups, etc.), especially
|
|
under load, were fixed.
|
|
|
|
- Full duplex network IO implemented.
|
|
|
|
- Threading model reimplemented.
|
|
|
|
- Digests calculation made multi-threaded.
|
|
|
|
- TX data digest errors handling iSCSI RFC violation was fixed. Another one
|
|
(SNACK handling) remains unfixed.
|
|
|
|
- Ability to send data with sense in a single response added.
|
|
|
|
- Ability to handle initiators misbehavior a bit improved: several BUG()'s
|
|
were relaced by the proper handling. Hovewer, there is a plenty of work in
|
|
this area left, IET is known to have a lot of weaknesses here.
|
|
|
|
- Task management made more robust. Particularly, possible data
|
|
corruption scenarios were fixed.
|
|
|
|
- Implemented SN based iSCSI IO flow control
|
|
|
|
- Response data send timeout implemented: now if initiator doesn't
|
|
accept data for too long (30 sec), target closes connection
|
|
|
|
- A lot of other bugfixes and code cleanups.
