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.
camcontrol(8) now supports a new 'persist' subcommand that allows users to
issue SCSI PERSISTENT RESERVE IN / OUT commands.
sbin/camcontrol/Makefile:

sbin/camcontrol/persist.c:
New persistent reservation support for camcontrol(8).
We have support for all known operation modes for PERSISTENT RESERVE
IN and PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT.

In the section on the Transport ID (-I) option, explain what
Transport IDs for each protocol should look like. At some point
some of this information could probably get moved off in a
separate man page, either on Transport IDs alone or a man page
documenting the Transport ID parsing code.
Add a number of examples of persistent reservation commands.
Persistent Reservations are complex enough that the average user
probably won't be able to get the commands exactly right by just
reading the man page. These examples show a few basic and

Document 'persist' in the help text.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.c:
Add the scsi_persistent_reserve_in() and
scsi_persistent_reserve_out() CCB building functions.
Add a new function, scsi_transportid_sbuf(). This takes a
SCSI Transport ID (documented in SPC-4), and prints it to
an sbuf(9). There are some transports (like ATA, USB, and
SSA) for which there is no transport defined. We need to
come up with a reasonable thing to do if we're presented
with a Transport ID that claims to be for one of those
protocols.
Add new routines scsi_get_nv() and scsi_nv_to_str().
These functions do a table lookup to go between a string and an
integer. There are lots of table lookups needed in the
persistent reservation code in camcontrol(8).
Add a new function, scsi_parse_transportid(), along with leaf node
functions to parse:
FC, 1394 and SAS (scsi_parse_transportid_64bit())
iSCSI (scsi_parse_transportid_iscsi())
SPI (scsi_parse_transportid_spi())
RDMA (scsi_parse_transportid_rdma())
PCIe (scsi_parse_transportid_sop())

functions create a SCSI Transport ID structure.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_all.h:
Update the various persistent reservation data structures to
SPC4r36l, but also rename some fields that were previously
obsolete with the proper names from older SCSI specs. This
allows using older, obsolete persistent reservation types when
desired.
Add function prototypes for the new persistent reservation CCB
building functions.
Add a data strucure for the READ FULL STATUS service action
of the PERSISTENT RESERVE IN command.
Add Transport ID structures for all protocols described in SPC-4.
Add a new series of SCSI_PROTO_XXX definitions, and
redefine other defines in terms of these new definitions.
Add a prototype for scsi_transportid_sbuf().
Change a couple of "obsolete" persistent reservation data
structure fields into something more meaningful, based on
what the field was called when it was defined in the spec.
(e.g. SPC, SPC-2, etc.)
Create a new define, SPRI_MAX_LEN, for the maximum allocation
length allowed for the PERSISTENT RESERVE IN command.
Add data structures and enumerations for the new name/value
translation functions.
Add data structures for SCSI over PCIe Routing IDs.
Bring the PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT Register and Move parameter list
structure (struct scsi_per_res_out_parms) up to date with SPC-4.
Add a data structure for the transport IDs that can optionally be
appended to the basic PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT parameter list.
Move SCSI protocol macro definitions out of the VPD page 0x83
definition and combine them with the more up to date protocol
definitions higher in the file.
Add function prototypes for scsi_nv_to_str(), scsi_get_nv(),
scsi_parse_transportid_64bit(), scsi_parse_transportid_spi(),
scsi_parse_transportid_rdma(), scsi_parse_transportid_iscsi(),
scsi_parse_transportid_sop(), and scsi_parse_transportid().

the future, to collapse adjacent requests. Since CFA ERASE is only for
CF cards, and it is so restrictive in what it can do, the collapse
code is not presently here. This also brings the ada driver more in
line with the da driver's treatment of BIO_DELETEs.

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.

These changes prevent sysctl(8) from returning proper output,

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
ones), account data move traffic. If disk I/Os are that interesting, then
backends have to account and provide that information.
Block backend already exports the information about disk I/Os via devstat,
so having it here too is excessive.

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,
accessed via 6 iSCSI connections, this change improves peak request rate
from 250K to 680K IOPS.

From one side it allows to remove CTL_FLAG_TASK_PENDING flag, handling of

it reduces task management requests latency even below then that flag could.
As downside, it denies task management code to sleep, but that is not needed

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.
