CTL HA functionality was originally implemented by Copan many years ago,
but large part of the sources was never published. This change includes
clean room implementation of the missing code and fixes for many bugs.
This code supports dual-node HA with ALUA in four modes:
- Active/Unavailable without interlink between nodes;
- Active/Standby with second node handling only basic LUN discovery and
reservation, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with both nodes processing commands and accessing the
backing storage, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
- Active/Active with second node working as proxy, transfering all
commands to the first node for execution through the interlink.
Unlike original Copan's implementation, depending on specific hardware,
this code uses simple custom TCP-based protocol for interlink. It has
no authentication, so it should never be enabled on public interfaces.
The code may still need some polishing, but generally it is functional.

This is preparation for possibility to open/close media several times
per LUN life cycle. While there, rename variables to reduce confusion.
As additional bonus this allows to open read-only media, such as ZFS
snapshots.
It has nothing to share with too huge ctl.c other then device descriptor,
but even that may be counted as design error that may be fixed later.
At some point we may even want to have several ioctl ports.
Its idea was to be a simple initiator and execute several commands from
kernel level, but FreeBSD never had consumer for that functionality,
while its implementation polluted many unrelated places.
Switch initiator IDs in target mode to the same address space as target
IDs in initiator mode -- index in port database instead of handlers.
This makes initiator IDs persist across role changes and firmware resets,
when handlers previously assigned by firmware are lost and reused.
Make first step toward supporting target and initiator roles same time.
To avoid conflicts between target and initiator devices in CAM, make
CTL use target ID reported by HBA as its initiator_id in XPT_PATH_INQ.
That target ID is known to never be used for initiator role, so it won't
conflict. For Fibre Channel and FireWire HBAs this specific ID choice
is irrelevant since all target IDs there are virtual. Same time for SPI
HBAs it seems could be even requirement to use same target ID for both
initiator and target roles.
While there are some more things to polish in isp(4) driver, first tests
of using both roles same time on the same port appeared successfull:
# camcontrol devlist -v
scbus0 on isp0 bus 0:
<FREEBSD CTLDISK 0001> at scbus0 target 1 lun 0 (da20,pass21)
<> at scbus0 target 256 lun 0 (ctl0)
<> at scbus0 target -1 lun ffffffff (ctl1)
FreeBSD never had limitation on number of target IDs, and there is no
any other requirement to allocate them densely. Since slots of port
database already populated just sequentially, there is no much need
for another indirection to allocate sequentially too.
Add a new sesutil(8) utility
This is an utility for managing SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) device.
For now only one command is supported "locate" which will change the test of the
external LED associated to a given disk.
Usage if the following:
sesutil locate disk [on|off]
Disk can be a device name: "da12" or a special keyword: "all".
