2011-10-24	target: Have core_tmr_alloc_req() take an explicit GFP_xxx flag	Roland Dreier	1	-1/+1
	Testing in_interrupt() to know when sleeping is allowed is not really reliable (since eg it won't be true if the caller is holding a spinlock). Instead have the caller tell core_tmr_alloc_req() what GFP_xxx to use; every caller except tcm_qla2xxx can use GFP_KERNEL.

2011-03-23	[SCSI] target: Convert TMR REQ/RSP definitions to target namespace	Nicholas Bellinger	1	-30/+22
	This patch changes include/target/target_core_tmr.h code to use target specific 'TMR_*' prefixed definitions for fabric independent SCSI Task Management Request/Request naming in include/scsi/scsi.h definitions for mainline target code.

2011-01-14	[SCSI] target: Add LIO target core v4.0.0-rc6	Nicholas Bellinger	1	-0/+43
	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. [jejb: fix up for new block bdev exclusive interface. Minor fixes from Randy Dunlap and Dan Carpenter.] Signed-off-by: Nicholas A.
