LIO target is a full featured in-kernel target framework with the
following feature set:
High-performance, non-blocking, multithreaded architecture with SIMD
support.
Advanced SCSI feature set:
* Persistent Reservations (PRs)
* Asymmetric Logical Unit Assignment (ALUA)
* Protocol and intra-nexus multiplexing, load-balancing and failover (MC/S)
* Full Error Recovery (ERL=0,1,2)
* Active/active task migration and session continuation (ERL=2)
* Thin LUN provisioning (UNMAP and WRITE_SAMExx)
Multiprotocol target plugins
Storage media independence:
* Virtualization of all storage media; transparent mapping of IO to LUNs
* No hard limits on number of LUNs per Target; maximum LUN size ~750 TB
* Backstores: SATA, SAS, SCSI, BluRay, DVD, FLASH, USB, ramdisk, etc.
Standards compliance:
* Full compliance with IETF (RFC 3720)
* Full implementation of SPC-4 PRs and ALUA
Significant code cleanups done by Christoph Hellwig.
[jejb: fix up for new block bdev exclusive interface. Minor fixes from

>>>>>>>>>> The TCM v4 fabric module script generator <<<<<<<<<<
|
|
|
|
Greetings all,
|
|
|
|
This document is intended to be a mini-HOWTO for using the tcm_mod_builder.py
|
|
script to generate a brand new functional TCM v4 fabric .ko module of your very own,
|
|
that once built can be immediately be loaded to start access the new TCM/ConfigFS
|
|
fabric skeleton, by simply using:
|
|
|
|
modprobe $TCM_NEW_MOD
|
|
mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD
|
|
|
|
This script will create a new drivers/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD/, and will do the following
|
|
|
|
*) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
|
|
->make_nodeacl(), ->drop_nodeacl(), ->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg()
|
|
->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn(). These are created into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
|
|
*) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
|
|
using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
|
|
*) Based on user defined T10 Proto_Ident for the new fabric module being built,
|
|
the TransportID / Initiator and Target WWPN related handlers for
|
|
SPC-3 persistent reservation are automatically generated in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
|
|
using drivers/target/target_core_fabric_lib.c logic.
|
|
*) NOP API calls for all other Data I/O path and fabric dependent attribute logic
|
|
in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
|
|
|
|
tcm_mod_builder.py depends upon the mandatory '-p $PROTO_IDENT' and '-m
|
|
$FABRIC_MOD_name' parameters, and actually running the script looks like:
|
|
|
|
target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target# python tcm_mod_builder.py -p iSCSI -m tcm_nab5000
|
|
tcm_dir: /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../
|
|
Set fabric_mod_name: tcm_nab5000
|
|
Set fabric_mod_dir:
|
|
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000
|
|
Using proto_ident: iSCSI
|
|
Creating fabric_mod_dir:
|
|
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000
|
|
Writing file:
|
|
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_base.h
|
|
Using tcm_mod_scan_fabric_ops:
|
|
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../include/target/target_core_fabric_ops.h
|
|
Writing file:
|
|
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_fabric.c
|
|
Writing file:
|
|
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_fabric.h
|
|
Writing file:
|
|
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_configfs.c
|
|
Writing file:
|
|
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kbuild
|
|
Writing file:
|
|
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kconfig
|
|
Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kbuild..? [yes,no]: yes
|
|
Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kconfig..? [yes,no]: yes
|
|
|
|
At the end of tcm_mod_builder.py. the script will ask to add the following
|
|
line to drivers/target/Kbuild:
|
|
|
|
obj-$(CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000) += tcm_nab5000/
|
|
|
|
and the same for drivers/target/Kconfig:
|
|
|
|
source "drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kconfig"
|
|
|
|
*) Run 'make menuconfig' and select the new CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000 item:
|
|
|
|
<M> TCM_NAB5000 fabric module
|
|
|
|
*) Build using 'make modules', once completed you will have:
|
|
|
|
target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git# ls -la drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/
|

Future TODO items:
|
|
|
|
*) Add more T10 proto_idents
|
|
*) Make tcm_mod_dump_fabric_ops() smarter and generate function pointer
|
|
defs directly from include/target/target_core_fabric_ops.h:struct target_core_fabric_ops
|
|
structure members.
