This allows to clone VMs and move them between LUNs inside one storage
host without generating extra network traffic to the initiator and back,
and without being limited by network bandwidth.
LUNs participating in copy operation should have UNIQUE NAA or EUI IDs set.
For LUNs without these IDs VMWare will use traditional copy operations.
Beware: the above LUN IDs explicitly set to values non-unique from the VM
cluster point of view may cause data corruption if wrong LUN is addressed!

That should make operation more kind to multi-initiator environment.
Without this, other initiators may find out that something bad happened
to their commands only via command timeout.
If port passed negative IID value, the function will try to allocate IID
from the pool of unused, based on passed wwpn or name arguments. It does
all its best to make IID unique and persistent across reconnects.
This makes persistent reservation properly work for iSCSI. Previously,
in case of reconnects, reservation could be unexpectedly lost, or even
migrate between intiators.
teardown, and new port creation during `service ctld restart`.
Close it by returning iSCSI port internal state, that allows to identify
dying ports, which should not be counted as existing, from really alive.
Instead make ports provide wanted port and target IDs, and LUNs provide
wanted LUN IDs. After that core Device ID VPD code only had to link all
of them together and add relative port and port group numbers.
LUN ID for iSCSI LUNs no longer created by CTL, but by ctld, and passed
to CTL as "scsiname" LUN option. This makes LUNs to report the same set
of IDs, independently from the port through which it is accessed, as
required by SCSI specifications.
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.
Before iSCSI implementation CTL had no knowledge about frontend drivers,
it had only frontends, which really were ports (alike to LUNs, if comparing
to backends). But iSCSI added there ioctl() method, which does not belong
to frontend as a port, but belongs to a frontend driver.
These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,
such as:
1) no output from sysctl(8)
2) erroneously returning ENOMEM with tools like truss(1)
or uname(1)
truss: can not get etype: Cannot allocate memory
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

This gives some use to 512KB per-LUN buffers, allocated for Copan-specific
processor code and not used. It allows, for example, to test transport
performance and/or correctness without accessing the media, as supported
by Linux version of sg3_utils.

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.

Without it, in some cases (such as files backing the LUNs
stored on failing disk drives), terminating a busy session
would result in panic.

This avoids extra locking in icl_pdu_queue(); the upper layer needs to call
it while holding its own lock anyway, to avoid sending PDUs out of order.

further refinement is required as some device drivers intended to be
