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.

User space FILEIO handler ========================= Version 3.1.0, XX XXXXX 2014 ---------------------------- User space program fileio_tgt uses interface of SCST's scst_user dev handler and allows to see how it works in various modes. Fileio_tgt provides mostly the same functionality as the kernel space SCST's scst_vdisk handler with the only exceptions that it supports O_DIRECT mode and doesn't support BLOCKIO one. O_DIRECT mode is basically the same as BLOCKIO, but also supports files, so for some loads it could be significantly faster, than the regular FILEIO access. All the words about BLOCKIO mode from SCST's README file apply to O_DIRECT mode as well. Installation ------------ Make sure you have installed SCST core, if not, see its README file for details how to do it. Then run "make all install" For the best performance make sure you don't have any debug options (i.e. lines like "CFLAGS += -DDEBUG" containing "-DDEBUG*" string) enabled in the Makefile. Usage ----- Load scst_user module using modprobe or insmod, then start fileio_tgt program. It can be used as the following: fileio_tgt [OPTION] name path Where: - OPTION - one or several not required options, see below. - name - name of the virtual device as it will be seen by SCST and used in the subsequent access management using the corresponding SCST interface. - path - path to the device file. The following options are supported: -b or --block=size: block size, must be power of 2 and >=512 -e or --threads=count: number of threads -t or --write_through: write through mode -r or --read_only: read only -o or --direct: O_DIRECT mode, see above for details -n or --nullio: NULLIO mode, see SCST's README file for details -c or --nv_cache: NV_CACHE mode, see SCST's README file for details -p or --parse=type: parse type, one of "std" (default), "call" or "excpt" -f or --on_free=type: on free call type, one of "ignore" (default) or "call" -m or --mem_reuse=type: Memory reuse type, one of "all" (default), "read", "write" or "none" -s or --prio_thread: Use separate thread for mgmt (prio) commands -l or --non_blocking: Use non-blocking operations Also in the debug builds the following options are supported: -d or --debug=level: debug tracing level -g or --debug_tm_ignore: turn on DEBUG_TM_IGNORE, one of the task management debugging features If you don't understand some these options, don't use them, default values provide the best performance.
