2007-02-16	[SCSI] tgt: fix the user/kernel ring buffer interface	FUJITA Tomonori	1	-3/+0
	This patches fixes two bugs in the scsi target infrastructure's user/kernel interface. - It wrongly assumes that the ring buffer size of the interface (64KB) is larger than or equal to the system page size. This patch sets the ring buffer size to PAGE_SIZE if the system page size is larger. - It uses PAGE_SIZE in the header file exported to userspace. This patch removes it.

2006-11-25	[SCSI] scsi tgt: scsi target user and kernel communication interface	FUJITA Tomonori	1	-0/+90
	The user-space daemon and tgt kernel module need bi-directional kernel/user high-performance interface, however, mainline provides no standard interface like that. This patch adds shared memory interface between kernel and user spaces like some other drivers do by using own character device. The user-space daemon and tgt kernel module creates shared memory via mmap and use it like ring buffer. poll (kernel to user) and write (user to kernel) system calls are used for notification.
