Unlike disk devices ZVOLs process all requests synchronously. That makes
impossible sending multiple requests to them from single thread. From the
other side ZVOLs have real d_read/d_write methods, which unlike d_strategy
can handle uio scatter/gather and have no strict I/O size limitations.
So, if ZVOL in "dev" mode is detected, use of d_read/d_write methods instead
of d_strategy allows to avoid pointless splitting of large requests into
MAXPHYS (128K) sized chunks.

CTL never had use for CA support code since SPI has gone, and there is no

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.
Testing shown that both original queued design with separate task queue,
and recent direct execution design had significant flaw: If abort request
arrives just after the victim, the last one may not be in the ooa_queue
yet, and so invisible for the task management function.
Unlike original queued implementation, use same queue for all SCSI and
TASK requests from the same initiator. That avoids races between them:
task functions are always executed in proper time, relatively to other
requests.
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.
For every supported command define CDB length and mask of bits that are
allowed to be set. This allows to remove bunch of checks through the code
and still make the validation more strict. To properly do it for commands
supporting multiple service actions, formalize their parsing by adding
subtables for each of such commands.
As visible effect, this change allows to add support for REPORT SUPPORTED
OPERATION CODES command, reporting to client all the data about supported
SCSI commands, except timeouts.

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.

Instead of trying to guess size of disk I/O operations (it just won't work
that way for newly added commands, and is equal to data move size for old

Split global ctl_lock, historically protecting most of CTL context:
- remaining ctl_lock now protects lists of fronends and backends;
- per-LUN lun_lock(s) protect LUN-specific information;
- per-thread queue_lock(s) protect request queues.
This allows to radically reduce congestion on ctl_lock.
Create multiple worker threads, depending on number of CPUs, and assign
each LUN to one of them. This allows to spread load between multiple CPUs,
still avoiging congestion on queues and LUNs locks.
On 40-core server, exporting 5 LUNs, each backed by gstripe of SATA SSDs,

Instead of allocating up to 16MB or RAM at once to handle whole I/O,
allocate up to 1MB at a time, but do multiple ctl_datamove() and storage
I/Os if needed.
Unfortunately we can't check range collisions for UNMAP commands alike
to writes, because they include multiple ranges, which are also passed
in data block, not in CDB. As result, UNMAP commands have to be treated
as colliding with any other command accessing the media.
From the other side all UNMAPs are equal (we don't support ANCHOR flag),
so we can execute several UNMAPs same time.
This patch adds support for three new SCSI commands: UNMAP, WRITE SAME(10)
and WRITE SAME(16). WRITE SAME commands support both normal write mode
and UNMAP flag. To properly report UNMAP capabilities this patch also adds
support for reporting two new VPD pages: Block limits and Logical Block
Provisioning.
UNMAP support can be enabled per-LUN by adding "-o unmap=on" to `ctladm
create` command line or "option unmap on" to lun sections of /etc/ctl.conf.
At this moment UNMAP supported for ramdisks and device-backed block LUNs.
It was tested to work great with ZFS ZVOLs. For file-backed LUNs UNMAP
support is unfortunately missing due to absence of respective VFS KPI.

reduce lock congestion and improve SMP scalability of the SCSI/ATA stack,
preparing the ground for the coming next GEOM direct dispatch support.
Replace big per-SIM locks with bunch of smaller ones:
- per-LUN locks to protect device and peripheral drivers state;
- per-target locks to protect list of LUNs on target;
- per-bus locks to protect reference counting;
- per-send queue locks to protect queue of CCBs to be sent;
- per-done queue locks to protect queue of completed CCBs;
- remaining per-SIM locks now protect only HBA driver internals.
While holding LUN lock it is allowed (while not recommended for performance
reasons) to take SIM lock. The opposite acquisition order is forbidden.
All the other locks are leaf locks, that can be taken anywhere, but should
not be cascaded. Many functions, such as: xpt_action(), xpt_done(),
xpt_async(), xpt_create_path(), etc. are no longer require (but allow) SIM
lock to be held.
To keep compatibility and solve cases where SIM lock can't be dropped, all
xpt_async() calls in addition to xpt_done() calls are queued to completion
threads for async processing in clean environment without SIM lock held.
Instead of single CAM SWI thread, used for commands completion processing
before, use multiple (depending on number of CPUs) threads. Load balanced
between them using "hash" of the device B:T:L address.
HBA drivers that can drop SIM lock during completion processing and have
sufficient number of completion threads to efficiently scale to multiple
CPUs can use new function xpt_done_direct() to avoid extra context switch.
Make ahci(4) driver to use this mechanism depending on hardware setup.
