Nilesh JavaliandGleb Chesnokov ec21bb006f qla2x00t-32gbit: Use coherent DMA buffer for D_Port diagnostics
qla26xx_dport_diagnostics() streaming-maps the caller's result buffer with
dma_map_single(). The bsg path passes &dd->buf from the __packed struct
qla_dport_diag, where buf lands at a 2-byte offset and shares cachelines
with the surrounding options/unused fields. Mapping such a misaligned
sub-buffer violates the DMA API requirement that streaming buffers be
cacheline aligned and not share a cacheline with other data, and can
corrupt data on non-DMA-coherent architectures.

Allocate a dedicated DMA-coherent buffer inside qla26xx_dport_diagnostics()
for the mailbox command and copy the result back into the caller's buffer.
This removes the streaming map of the misaligned sub-buffer entirely; the
caller's buffer is now only a plain CPU buffer, so its packing no longer
matters.

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.

Documentation

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.
