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>
...

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
While CTL has concept of port options, used at least for iSCSI ports now,
before this change it was impossible to set them manually. There still
no user-configurable port options now, but I am planning to change that.
This change introduces new target option "port", that assigns current target
to specified CTL port. On config application ctld(8) will apply LUN mapping
according to target configuration to specified port and bring the port up.
On shutdown cltd(8) will remove the mapping and put the port down.
This change allows to configure both iSCSI and FibreChannel targets in the
same configuration file in alike way.
Kernel side support was added earlier at r278037.

target iSCSI offload. Add mechanism to query maximum receive data segment
size supported by chosen hardware offload module, and use it in ctld(8)
to determine the value to advertise to the other side.

This change allows multiple "portal-group" options to be specified per
target. Each of them may include new optional auth-group name parameter
to override per-target auth parameters for specific portal group.

Replace iSCSI-specific LUN mapping mechanism with new one, working for any
ports. By default all ports are created without LUN mapping, exposing all
CTL LUNs as before. But, if needed, LUN mapping can be manually set on
per-port basis via ctladm. For its iSCSI ports ctld does it via ioctl(2).
The next step will be to teach ctld to work with FibreChannel ports also.
Respecting additional flexibility of the new mechanism, ctl.conf now allows
alternative syntax for LUN definition. LUNs can now be defined in global
context, and then referenced from targets by unique name, as needed. It
allows same LUN to be exposed several times via multiple targets.
While there, increase limit for LUNs per target in ctld from 256 to 1024.
Some initiators do not support LUNs above 255, but that is not our problem.

This makes it possible to format stuff like this:

lun 0 { path /foo/bar; size 4G; }

This fixes problems with passing strings that look like numbers to clauses
that expect strings; previously it caused syntax errors and had to be worked
by user, using quotes. The workaround introduced in r267833 is no longer
neccessary.

This makes ctld(8) register its iSCSI targets and portals on configured
iSNS servers to allow initiators find them without active discovery.
Fetching of allowed initiators from iSNS is not implemented now, so target
ACLs still should be configured manually.

needed it to be already enabled, because listening in proxy mode
requires it; however, it's conf_apply() that opens pidfiles,
so it resulted in port being enabled before pidfile was opened.
This was not so bad, but it was also disabled when pidfile couldn't
be opened due to ctld already running; this means that starting
second ctld instance screwed up the first.
