LIO-Target Core v3.0.0 imported in k.o git
Nicholas A. Bellinger
The LIO-Target Core v3.0.0 tree has been imported from v2.9-STABLE from
Linux-iSCSI.org source tree repositories into kernel.org git, and is
building w/ v2.6.26-rc3. It can be found at:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/nab/lio-core-2.6.git;a=summary
I will be continuing the cleanup activies for upstream, which so far has
included the removal of legacy unused engine level mirroring/replication
bits (as we are using LIO-DRBD or LIO-NR1 w/ MD for this now), and a few
LINUX_VERSION_CODE removals.
[nab@hera lio-core]$ wc -l *.c *.h | tail -n 1
57879 total
The goal now will be to seperate out the LIO-Target / LIO-Core pieces
for moving the latter upstream initially (eg a working passthrough, and
then v3.0 LIO-Target using traditional iSCSI, then iWARP and iSER. This
will all be going into the roadmap on Linux-iSCSI.org for reference.
I invite interested parties to have a look, and please contact me on the
LIO-Target devel list, or privately if you would like to get involved
looking at some code that are in line with your
knowledge/interests/projects.
Many thanks for your most valuable of time,

Ok, so when I was working on this last week, I was using kernel.org for
patching and compiling. And did not quite get to testing it just yet.
Anyways, lemme get v3.0 into a v2.6.23-rc3 VM this afternoon and make
sure that things work as expected and I will resolve this PROC breakage
too.

PS: Please join the list:

as there will be some very interesting discussions coming through today
on this new project that Jerome Martin and myself have been working on
wrt cloud computing. :-) Anyways, have a look.

Ok, I think I was just missing the mode parameter for proc_create_data()
here in the commit:
I am still trying to clone my tree to a VM here, so I have not been able
to test just yet, but I think the change should get you moving.

Ok, I finally got a chance to get this compiled and loaded in a
v2.6.26-rc3 VM. The issue was actually the passing of
"proc_dir/proc_entry" for the first parameter of proc_create_data().
Here is the new commit:
Please let me know if you run into any other problems.
Thanks!

Please follow the existing BUILD howto for target-utils v2.9 for use
with LIO-Core v3.0
http://linux-iscsi.org/svn/trunk/README
Please let me know if you have any more questions!

Also, if you would like to create a step-by-step list of what you have
done on your PS3, I bet that alot of people would benefit from it.
Would you be interested in doing something like this on
Linux-iSCSI.org..?

Yes, this will create the target-source for m-a (see below) and
target-utils package.

Ok, so if you where to use the mentioned target-source above with m-a,
this would be packaging source from Linux-iSCSI.org SVN @ trunk/target f
or v2.9-STABLE, which works up to kernel v2.6.25 currently.
If you want to use lio-core-2.6.git (currently @ v2.6.26-rc2) for
LIO-Core v3.0-UPSTREAM on the PS3, using this kernel (which is
completely stock v2.6.26-rc2, the LIO-Core is located in
linux/drivers/lio-core/ and require no changes. To install this kernel,
follow the normal procedure as if you where building for ps3-linux.git,
and iscsi_target_mod.ko will be installed with 'make modules_install'
and should work fine with r346 target-utils .deb.
I watching some iSCSI/HD recently with my PS3 @ v2.6.25 + LIO
v2.9-STABLE, and next day or two I will put lio-core-2.6.git on my own
PS3. But everything should work as expected for you now, so go ahead
and try (with either tree) and let me know what you find.

Actually, I merged to kernel v2.6.26-rc5 for lio-core-2.6.git, and in
the process of pulling now to my PS3 running Fedora 8. Lets see what
happens.. :-)

Sorry, by autoconf I meant the LIO buildtools/autoconfig.master (which
is symlinked in trunk/target/autoconfig to generate
trunk/target/.make_autoconfig.

Yeah, you can do a debian/rules binary to create the target-utils.deb,
or simply do a make install.
Btw, I commited a small script fix that was
causing /etc/iscsi/install.target to be convered to v1 target-ctl calls
(eg: legacy stuff) when calling init.d/target start on my PS3.
I am not however unable to run any target-ctl commands on v2.6.26-rc5
because it appears that the ioctl32() is broken somewhere. As I am
running FC8 32-bit PPC userspace, I am currently running into this
issue. I am not sure if this is actual kernel development breakage, or
breakage in lio-core-2.6.git, as this worked fine with v2.9-STABLE on
v2.6.25.
I assume on ubuntu you are using a 32-bit userspace as well, so you are
going to be hung up on this for v3.0 for now.. If you are running
64-bit userspace, it will probably work just fine. In any event, I will
see if I can track down the breakage..

Ok, I am up and running on v2.6.26-rc5, here, is the commit to fix
(actually remove) the legacy ioctl32_conversion bits that we used to use
on the v2.4 and v2.2 days with LIO-Target.
