# 271928 21-Sep-2014 mav

MFC r271794: When updating device media size use cached cdevsw pointer.

Using pointer from the cdev directly is dangerous since we have no
reference on it, and it may change any time. That caused panic if
device has gone.

While there, report capacity change only if it really changed.

# 270108 17-Aug-2014 mav

MFC r269622:
Fix several issues and inconsistencies in UNMAP capabilities reporting.

This makes Windows 2012 to start using UNMAP on our disks.


# 269429 02-Aug-2014 mav

MFC r269123:
Implement separate I/O dispatch method for ZVOLs in "dev" mode.

Unlike disk devices ZVOLs process all requests synchronously. That makes
impossible sending multiple requests to them from single thread. From the
other side ZVOLs have real d_read/d_write methods, which unlike d_strategy
can handle uio scatter/gather and have no strict I/O size limitations.

So, if ZVOL in "dev" mode is detected, use of d_read/d_write methods instead
of d_strategy allows to avoid pointless splitting of large requests into
MAXPHYS (128K) sized chunks.


# 269226 29-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r269122:
Fix infinite loop, when doing WRITE SAME on file-backed LUN.


# 268678 15-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r268280:
Make options KPI more generic to allow it to be used for ports too,
not only for LUNs.


# 268555 12-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r268283:
Improve readability of XML generated by CTL_LUN_LIST.


# 268549 12-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r267877:
Lock devstat updates in block backend to make it usable. Polish lock names.


# 268261 04-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r267641:
Add some more CTL_FLAG_ABORT check points.

This should allow to abort commands doing mostly disk I/O, such as VERIFY
or WRITE SAME. Before this change CTL_FLAG_ABORT was only checked around
data moves, which for these commands may not happen for a very long time.


# 268151 02-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r267537:
Add support for VERIFY(10/12/16) and COMPARE AND WRITE SCSI commands.

Make data_submit backends method support not only read and write requests,
but also two new ones: verify and compare. Verify just checks readability
of the data in specified location without transferring them outside.
Compare reads the specified data and compares them to received data,
returning error if they are different.

VERIFY(10/12/16) commands request either verify or compare from backend,
depending on BYTCHK CDB field. COMPARE AND WRITE command executed in two
stages: first it requests compare, and then, if succeesed, requests write.
Atomicity of operation is guarantied by CTL request ordering code.

# 268150 02-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r267519:
Make backends track completion by processed number of sectors instead of
total transfer size.

Commands such as VERIFY or COMPARE AND WRITE may have transfer size not
matching directly to number of sectors.


# 268149 02-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r267515:
Remove memcpy() from ctl_private[] accesses.

That union is aligned enough to access data directly.


# 268148 02-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r267514:
Move kern_total_len setting from backend to core code.


# 268146 02-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r267499:
Remove custom processing for "file" option.


# 268143 02-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r267481, r267952:
Implement small KPI to access LUN options instead doing it by hands.


# 267754 22-Jun-2014 mav

MFC r267429:
Fix some leaks on LUN creation error.


# 265642 08-May-2014 mav

MFC r264886:
Remove limits on size of READ/WRITE operations.

Instead of allocating up to 16MB or RAM at once to handle whole I/O,
allocate up to 1MB at a time, but do multiple ctl_datamove() and storage
I/Os if needed.


# 265634 08-May-2014 mav

MFC r264274, r264279, r264283, r264296, r264297:
Add support for SCSI UNMAP commands to CTL.

This patch adds support for three new SCSI commands: UNMAP, WRITE SAME(10)
and WRITE SAME(16). WRITE SAME commands support both normal write mode
and UNMAP flag. To properly report UNMAP capabilities this patch also adds
support for reporting two new VPD pages: Block limits and Logical Block
Provisioning.

UNMAP support can be enabled per-LUN by adding "-o unmap=on" to `ctladm
create` command line or "option unmap on" to lun sections of /etc/ctl.conf.

At this moment UNMAP supported for ramdisks and device-backed block LUNs.
It was tested to work great with ZFS ZVOLs. For file-backed LUNs UNMAP
support is unfortunately missing due to absence of respective VFS KPI.

# 249026 02-Apr-2013 trasz

Don't directly dereference userland pointer; instead use kernel pointer
copied in from userspace. This fixes instant panic when creating CTL LUN

Remove the support for using non-mpsafe filesystem modules.

In particular, do not lock Giant conditionally when calling into the
filesystem module, remove the VFS_LOCK_GIANT() and related
macros. Stop handling buffers belonging to non-mpsafe filesystems.

The VFS_VERSION is bumped to indicate the interface change which does

# 229997 11-Jan-2012 ken

Add the CAM Target Layer (CTL).

CTL is a disk and processor device emulation subsystem originally written
for Copan Systems under Linux starting in 2003. It has been shipping in
Copan (now SGI) products since 2005.

It was ported to FreeBSD in 2008, and thanks to an agreement between SGI
(who acquired Copan's assets in 2010) and Spectra Logic in 2010, CTL is
available under a BSD-style license. The intent behind the agreement was
that Spectra would work to get CTL into the FreeBSD tree.

Some CTL features:

- Disk and processor device emulation.
- Tagged queueing
- SCSI task attribute support (ordered, head of queue, simple tags)
- SCSI implicit command ordering support. (e.g. if a read follows a mode
select, the read will be blocked until the mode select completes.)
- Full task management support (abort, LUN reset, target reset, etc.)
- Support for multiple ports
- Support for multiple simultaneous initiators
- Support for multiple simultaneous backing stores
- Persistent reservation support
- Mode sense/select support
- Error injection support
- High Availability support (1)
- All I/O handled in-kernel, no userland context switch overhead.

(1) HA Support is just an API stub, and needs much more to be fully
functional.

ctl.c: The core of CTL. Command handlers and processing,
character driver, and HA support are here.

ctl.h: Basic function declarations and data structures.

ctl_backend.c,
ctl_backend.h: The basic CTL backend API.

ctl_backend_block.c,
ctl_backend_block.h: The block and file backend. This allows for using
a disk or a file as the backing store for a LUN.
Multiple threads are started to do I/O to the
backing device, primarily because the VFS API
requires that to get any concurrency.

ctl_backend_ramdisk.c: A "fake" ramdisk backend. It only allocates a
small amount of memory to act as a source and sink
for reads and writes from an initiator. Therefore
it cannot be used for any real data, but it can be
used to test for throughput. It can also be used
to test initiators' support for extremely large LUNs.

ctl_cmd_table.c: This is a table with all 256 possible SCSI opcodes,
and command handler functions defined for supported
opcodes.

ctl_debug.h: Debugging support.

ctl_error.c,
ctl_error.h: CTL-specific wrappers around the CAM sense building
functions.

ctl_frontend.c,
ctl_frontend.h: These files define the basic CTL frontend port API.

ctl_frontend_cam_sim.c: This is a CTL frontend port that is also a CAM SIM.
This frontend allows for using CTL without any
target-capable hardware. So any LUNs you create in
CTL are visible in CAM via this port.

ctl_frontend_internal.c,
ctl_frontend_internal.h:
This is a frontend port written for Copan to do
some system-specific tasks that required sending
commands into CTL from inside the kernel. This
isn't entirely relevant to FreeBSD in general,
but can perhaps be repurposed.

ctl_ha.h: This is a stubbed-out High Availability API. Much
more is needed for full HA support. See the
comments in the header and the description of what
is needed in the README.ctl.txt file for more
details.

ctl_io.h: This defines most of the core CTL I/O structures.
union ctl_io is conceptually very similar to CAM's
union ccb.

ctl_ioctl.h: This defines all ioctls available through the CTL
character device, and the data structures needed
for those ioctls.

ctl_mem_pool.c,
ctl_mem_pool.h: Generic memory pool implementation used by the
internal frontend.

ctl_private.h: Private data structres (e.g. CTL softc) and
function prototypes. This also includes the SCSI
vendor and product names used by CTL.

ctl_scsi_all.c,
ctl_scsi_all.h: CTL wrappers around CAM sense printing functions.

ctl_ser_table.c: Command serialization table. This defines what
happens when one type of command is followed by
another type of command.

ctl_util.c,
ctl_util.h: CTL utility functions, primarily designed to be
used from userland. See ctladm for the primary
consumer of these functions. These include CDB
building functions.

scsi_ctl.c: CAM target peripheral driver and CTL frontend port.
This is the path into CTL for commands from
target-capable hardware/SIMs.

README.ctl.txt: CTL code features, roadmap, to-do list.

usr.sbin/Makefile: Add ctladm.

ctladm/Makefile,
ctladm/ctladm.8,
ctladm/ctladm.c,
ctladm/ctladm.h,
ctladm/util.c: ctladm(8) is the CTL management utility.
It fills a role similar to camcontrol(8).
It allow configuring LUNs, issuing commands,
injecting errors and various other control
functions.

usr.bin/Makefile: Add ctlstat.

ctlstat/Makefile
ctlstat/ctlstat.8,
ctlstat/ctlstat.c: ctlstat(8) fills a role similar to iostat(8).
It reports I/O statistics for CTL.

sys/conf/files: Add CTL files.

sys/conf/NOTES: Add device ctl.

sys/cam/scsi_all.h: To conform to more recent specs, the inquiry CDB
length field is now 2 bytes long.

Add several mode page definitions for CTL.

sys/cam/scsi_all.c: Handle the new 2 byte inquiry length.

sys/dev/ciss/ciss.c,
sys/dev/ata/atapi-cam.c,
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_targ_bh.c,
scsi_target/scsi_cmds.c,
mlxcontrol/interface.c: Update for 2 byte inquiry length field.

scsi_da.h: Add versions of the format and rigid disk pages
that are in a more reasonable format for CTL.

amd64/conf/GENERIC,
i386/conf/GENERIC,
ia64/conf/GENERIC,
sparc64/conf/GENERIC: Add device ctl.

i386/conf/PAE: The CTL frontend SIM at least does not compile
cleanly on PAE.
