A reader should spend an extra moment whenever noticing a cast,
because either something special is going on that deserves extra
attention or, as is all too often the case, the code is wrong.
These casts, afaics, have all been useless. They cast a foo* to a
foo*, cast a void* to the assigned type, cast a foo* to void*, before
assigning it to a void* variable, etc.
In a few cases I also removed an additional &...[0], which is equally
useless.
Lastly I added three FIXMEs where, to the best of my judgement, the
code appears to have a bug. It would be good if someone could check
these.

The command
| echo rd_pages=32768 > ramdisk/control
Does not work because it writes "rd_pages=32768\n" and the parser which
matches for "rd_pages=%d" does not recognize it due to the \n. One way
of fixing this would be using "echo -n" instead.
This patch adds \n to the list of separators so we don't have to use the
-n argument which I find is more convinient.

This reorganized the headers under include/target into:
- target_core_base.h stays as is with all target-wide data stuctures and defines
- target_core_backend.h contains the whole interface to I/O backends
- target_core_fabric.h contains the whole interface to fabric modules
Except for those only the various configfs macro headers stay around.

This patch removes legacy usage of PYX_TRANSPORT_* return codes in a number
of locations and addresses cases where transport_generic_request_failure()
was returning the incorrect sense upon CHECK_CONDITION status after the
v3.1 converson to use errno return codes.
This includes the conversion of transport_generic_request_failure() to
process cmd->scsi_sense_reason and handle extra TCM_RESERVATION_CONFLICT
before calling transport_send_check_condition_and_sense() to queue up
response status. It also drops PYX_TRANSPORT_OUT_OF_MEMORY_RESOURCES legacy
usgae, and returns TCM_LOGICAL_UNIT_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE w/ a response
for these cases.
transport_generic_allocate_tasks(), transport_generic_new_cmd(), backend
SCF_SCSI_DATA_SG_IO_CDB ->do_task(), and emulated ->execute_task() have
all been updated to set se_cmd->scsi_sense_reason and return errno codes
universally upon failure. This includes cmd->scsi_sense_reason assignment
in target_core_alua.c, target_core_pr.c and target_core_cdb.c emulation code.
Finally it updates fabric modules to remove the legacy usage, and for
TFO->new_cmd_map() callers forwards return values outside of fabric code.
iscsi-target has also been updated to remove a handful of special cases
related to the cleanup and signaling QUEUE_FULL handling w/ ft_write_pending()
(v2: Drop extra SCF_SCSI_CDB_EXCEPTION check during failure from
transport_generic_new_cmd, and re-add missing task->task_error_status
assignment in transport_complete_task)

This patch breaks up the ->map_task_SG() backend call into two seperate
->map_control_SG() and ->map_data_SG() in order to better address
IBLOCK and pSCSI. IBLOCK only allocates bios for ->map_data_SG(), and
pSCSI will allocate a struct request for both cases.
This patch fixes incorrect usage of ->map_task_SG() for all se_cmd descriptors
in transport_generic_new_cmd() by moving the call into it's proper location
directly inside of transport_allocate_data_tasks()

This patch contains the squashed version of forth round series cleanups
from Andy and Christoph following the post heavy lifting in the preceeding:
'Eliminate usage of struct se_mem' and 'Make all control CDBs scatter-gather'
changes. This also includes a conversion of target core and the v3.0
mainline fabric modules (loopback and tcm_fc) to use pr_debug and the
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG infrastructure!
These have been squashed into this third and final round for v3.1.
target: Remove ifdeffed code in t_g_process_write
target: Remove direct ramdisk code
target: Rename task_sg_num to task_sg_nents
target: Remove custom debug macros for pr_debug. Use pr_err().

Both backstores and fabrics use arrays of struct scatterlist to describe
data buffers. However TCM used struct se_mems, basically a linked list
of scatterlist entries. We are able to simplify the code by eliminating
this intermediate data structure and just using struct scatterlist[]
throughout.
Also, moved attachment of task to cmd out of transport_generic_get_task
and into allocate_control_task and allocate_data_tasks. The reasoning
is that it's nonintuitive that get_task should automatically add it to
the cmd's task list -- it should just return an allocated, initialized
task. That's all it should do, based on the function's name, so either the
function shouldn't do it, or the name should change to encapsulate the
entire essence of what it does.

This patch converts the target_core_store_dev_enable() -> struct
se_subsystem_api->create_virtdevice() call to return proper ERR_PTR values
back up to configfs logic during backend dependent struct se_device ENABLE
exception conditions.
Along with the change to target_core_configfs.c, this includes converting IBLOCK,
FILEIO, pSCSI, and RAMDISK_* backend subsystem plugins to obtain upper level
PTR_ERR return codes (where available), and return via ERR_PTR during a
*_create_virtdev() failure.

match_strdup() dynamically allocates memory and it is the responsabillity
of the caller to free that memory. The following three cases:
drivers/target/target_core_file.c:fd_set_configfs_dev_params()
drivers/target/target_core_iblock.c:iblock_set_configfs_dev_params()
drivers/target/target_core_configfs.c:target_core_dev_pr_store_attr_res_aptpl_metadata()
should be kfree()'ing the allocated memory once it is no longer needed.
It also makes sure to return -ENOMEM if the memory allocation in match_strdup()
should fail. For target_core_configfs.c, this patch adds kfree()'s around
Opt_initiator_fabric, Opt_initiator_node, Opt_initiator_sid, Opt_sa_res_key,
Opt_target_fabric, and Opt_target_node for the Persistent Reservations

blkdev_get_by_path() returns an ERR_PTR() or error and it doesn't return
a NULL. It looks like this bug would be easy to trigger by mistake.

LIO target is a full featured in-kernel target framework with the
following feature set:
High-performance, non-blocking, multithreaded architecture with SIMD
support.
Advanced SCSI feature set:
* Persistent Reservations (PRs)
* Asymmetric Logical Unit Assignment (ALUA)
* Protocol and intra-nexus multiplexing, load-balancing and failover (MC/S)
* Full Error Recovery (ERL=0,1,2)
* Active/active task migration and session continuation (ERL=2)
* Thin LUN provisioning (UNMAP and WRITE_SAMExx)
Multiprotocol target plugins
Storage media independence:
* Virtualization of all storage media; transparent mapping of IO to LUNs
* No hard limits on number of LUNs per Target; maximum LUN size ~750 TB
* Backstores: SATA, SAS, SCSI, BluRay, DVD, FLASH, USB, ramdisk, etc.
Standards compliance:
* Full compliance with IETF (RFC 3720)
* Full implementation of SPC-4 PRs and ALUA
Significant code cleanups done by Christoph Hellwig.
