  scst_local: Change max_lun into SCST_MAX_LUN (16383)
  
  Today SCST does not support LUN numbers >= 16384. Additionally,
  there is a bug in older Linux initiator systems that prevents
  proper handling of LUN numbers >= 2**32. See also Hannes Reinecke,
  scsi_scan: Fixup scsilun_to_int(), June 25, 2014 (commit ID
  d9e5d6183715e691b37afd3785c311d05cd1338d). Hence set max_lun to
  16383.

  vdisk_blockio: Make large COMPARE AND WRITE requests work for stacked block devices
      
  Stacked block devices impose weird restrictions on S/G-lists. Hence
  make the COMPARE AND WRITE implementation independent of these
  restrictions.
      
  Additionally, reduce the MAXIMUM COMPARE AND WRITE LENGTH limit from
  0xff (no limit) to 0xfe to reduce the maximum amount of memory allocated
  during a COMPARE AND WRITE. Also serialize COMPARE AND WRITE
  operations, fix the offset reported for miscompares and fix the start
  offset of the region that is synchronized if the FUA bit has been set.

Overview
========

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.


QLogic target driver
====================

QLogic target driver in qla2x00t/ is the old one, forked from qla2xxx
from kernel 2.6.26. It is not maintained anymore and not built by
default by the common Makefile targets, like "all".

You can find the latest version of this driver in git://git.qlogic.com/scst-qla2xxx.git.
It is now maintained by QLogic, hence located in the QLogic's git.

To integrate it into the SCST build tree you need:

1. Clone the QLogic git tree somewhere in your system.

2. Create in the SCST root, i.e. this directory, a subdirectory with name
qla2x00t_git

3. Symlink drivers/scsi/qla2xxx subdirectory in the cloned git tree to the
qla2x00t_git subdirectory

Thats all. Now "make all" and other common and QLA specific root
Makefile targets "magically" start working. The bind mount is necessary
for the driver to correctly find the SCST header files. Symlinks can't
do it.

You can still build the old driver using qla_old* root Makefile targets.
