[PATCH] [Target_Core_Mod/pSCSI]: Addblock/blk-map.c:blk_rq_map_kern_sg() usage

From: Nicholas A. Bellinger
Date: Tue Apr 28 2009 - 20:43:24 EST


Greetings all,

This patch adds a new version of pscsi_map_task_SG() for the Linux/SCSI
passthrough subsystem plugin for target_core_mod v3.0 that uses Tejun's blk-map
patches on v2.6.30-rcX from git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/tj/misc.git blk-map.
This patch adds a LINUX_USE_NEW_BLK_MAP define to allow both blk_rq_map_kern_sg() and
legacy, non blk_rq_map_kern_sg() operation (with some limitiations with the latter) to
function.

Once Tejun's patches for block/blk-map.c:blk_rq_map_kern_sg() have been included
upstream, the legacy pscsi_map_task_SG() will be removed and blk-map will become
the preferred method for accessing struct scatterlist -> struct scsi_device for
SCSI target operations. For now, I have created a blk-map branch in lio-core-2.6.git with
LINUX_USE_NEW_BLK_MAP=1 and left LINUX_USE_NEW_BLK_MAP=0 in branch master.

This patch also updates pscsi_map_task_non_SG()'s usage of blk_rq_map_kern(), whos
parameters have also been simplified in Tejun's patches. It has been tested with
lio-core-2.6.git branch master and blk-map and tested on v2.6.30-rc3 x86 32-bit
HVM. The lio-core-2.6.git tree can be found at:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/nab/lio-core-2.6.git;a=summary

So far, using Tejun's new code with LINUX_USE_NEW_BLK_MAP=1 is passing badblocks from
target_core_Mod/pSCSI exported Vmware mpt-fusion virtual SCSI HBA of TYPE_DISK. Both the
ConfigFS 'file-descriptor' method and 'SCSI HCTL reference' method for accessing
struct scsi_device have been tested and are working with lio-core-2.6.git blk-map.

Currently *without* the blk-map patches on v2.6.30-rc3, is target_core_mod/pSCSI export is
limited to TYPE_DISK and TYPE_ROM that reference a struct block_device using the ConfigFS
'file descriptor' method. This is because bio_add_page() expects struct block_device to be
each struct bio associated with the struct request w/o Tejun's blk_rq_map_kern_sg().

Thanks Tejun for this patch series! Things have been stable so far and I hope to try some
'bare-metal' and IOV enabled Linux/SCSI target exports using this patch series, along with validating
blk-map on some non TYPE_DISK exports using target_core_mod/pSCSI. I believe you intend this series for
v2.6.31 correct..?

Boaz, have you had a chance to port your stuff over to this yet..? Other comments..?
