ioctl frontend ports.
This revision introduces two changes to CTL:
- Changes the way options are passed to CTL_LUN_REQ and CTL_PORT_REQ ioctls.
Removes ctl_be_arg structure and associated logic and replaces it with
nv(3)-based logic for passing in and out arguments.
- Allows creating multiple ioctl frontend ports using either ctladm(8) or
ctld(8).
New frontend ports are represented by /dev/cam/ctl<pp>.<vp> nodes, eg /dev/cam/ctl5.3.
Those device nodes respond only to CTL_IO ioctl.
New command-line options for ctladm:
# creates new ioctl frontend port with using free pp and vp=0
ctladm port -c
# creates new ioctl frontend port with pp=10 and vp=0
ctladm port -c -O pp=10
# creates new ioctl frontend port with pp=11 and vp=12
ctladm port -c -O pp=11 -O vp=12
# removes port with number 4 (it's a "targ_port" number, not pp number)
ctladm port -r -p 4
New syntax for ctl.conf:
target ... {
port ioctl/<pp>
...
}
target ... {
port ioctl/<pp>/<vp>
...
