MFC r310257: Improve support for informational exceptions.
While CTL still has no real events to report in this way (like SMART), it is possible to trigger false event by manually setting TEST bit in Informational Exceptions Control mode page, that can be useful for initiator testing. This code supports all flavours of IE reporting: UNIT ATTENTION, RECOVERED ERROR and NO SENSE sense keys, REQUEST SENSE command and Informational Exceptions log page.

Previously, with serseq enabled, next command was unblocked only after previous completed. With this change, for read operations, next command is unblocked as soon as last media read completed.

MFC r287621: Reimplement CTL High Availability.
CTL HA functionality was originally implemented by Copan many years ago, but large part of the sources was never published. This change includes clean room implementation of the missing code and fixes for many bugs.
This code supports dual-node HA with ALUA in four modes: - Active/Unavailable without interlink between nodes; - Active/Standby with second node handling only basic LUN discovery and reservation, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink; - Active/Active with both nodes processing commands and accessing the backing storage, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink; - Active/Active with second node working as proxy, transfering all commands to the first node for execution through the interlink.
Unlike original Copan's implementation, depending on specific hardware, this code uses simple custom TCP-based protocol for interlink. It has no authentication, so it should never be enabled on public interfaces.
The code may still need some polishing, but generally it is functional.

MFC r268291: Create separate CTL port for every iSCSI target (and maybe portal group).
Having single port for all iSCSI connections makes problematic implementing some more advanced SCSI functionality in CTL, that require proper ports enumeration and identification.
This change extends CTL iSCSI API, making ctld daemon to control list of iSCSI ports in CTL. When new target is defined in config fine, ctld will create respective port in CTL. When target is removed -- port will be also removed after all active commands through that port properly aborted. This change require ctld to be rebuilt to match the kernel.
As a minor side effect, this allows to have iSCSI targets without LUNs. While that may look odd and not very useful, that is not incorrect.

MFC r267639: Increase CTL_DEVID_LEN from 16 to 64 bytes.
SPC-4 recommends T10 vendor ID based LUN ID was created by concatenating product name and serial number (and istgt follows that). But product name is 16 bytes long by itself, so 16 bytes total length is clearly not enough to fit both.
To keep compatibility with existing configurations, pad short device IDs to old length of 16, same as before.
This change probably breaks CTL user-level ABI, so control tools should be rebuilt after this change.

MFC r267643, r267873, r268391, r268398: Introduce fine-grained CTL locking to improve SMP scalability.
Split global ctl_lock, historically protecting most of CTL context: - remaining ctl_lock now protects lists of fronends and backends; - per-LUN lun_lock(s) protect LUN-specific information; - per-thread queue_lock(s) protect request queues. This allows to radically reduce congestion on ctl_lock.
Create multiple worker threads, depending on number of CPUs, and assign each LUN to one of them. This allows to spread load between multiple CPUs, still avoiging congestion on queues and LUNs locks.
On 40-core server, exporting 5 LUNs, each backed by gstripe of SATA SSDs, accessed via 6 iSCSI connections, this change improves peak request rate from 250K to 680K IOPS.

Compare reads the specified data and compares them to received data, returning error if they are different.
