Pull sbp-2 (firewire) target mode support from Nicholas Bellinger:
"The FireWire SBP-2 Target is a driver for using an IEEE-1394
connection as a SCSI transport. This module uses the SCSI Target
framework to expose LUNs to other machines attached to a FireWire bus,
in effect acting as a FireWire hard disk similar to FireWire Target
Disk mode on many Apple computers.
Also included are the two drivers/firewire/ patches required by
sbp-target to access fw_request fabric speed needed for mgt_agent
TCODE_WRITE_BLOCK_REQUEST ops, and exporting fw_card kref logic used
when creating/destroying active session references to individual
endpoints.
A credit goes to Chris in being able to get this code up and running
so quickly w/o any target core changes, and special thanks goes out to
Stefan Richter + Clemens Ladisch + Andy Grover for their help in
getting this driver ready for mainline. Also, one of Chris's goals
was to be able to connect sbp-target to a PowerPC based MacOS-X based
client, that he accomplished along the way in this obligatory
screenshot:

Pull scsi-target changes from Nicholas Bellinger:
"There has been lots of work in existing code in a number of areas this
past cycle. The major highlights have been:
* Removal of transport_do_task_sg_chain() from core + fabrics
(Roland)
* target-core: Removal of se_task abstraction from target-core and
enforce hw_max_sectors for pSCSI backends (hch)
* Re-factoring of iscsi-target tx immediate/response queues (agrover)
* Conversion of iscsi-target back to using target core memory
allocation logic (agrover)
We've had one last minute iscsi-target patch go into for-next to
address a nasty regression bug related to the target core allocation
logic conversion from agrover that is not included in friday's
linux-next build, but has been included in this series.
On the new fabric module code front for-3.5, here is a brief status
update for the three currently in flight this round:
* usb-gadget target driver:
Sebastian Siewior's driver for supporting usb-gadget target mode
operation. This will be going out as a separate PULL request from
target-pending/usb-target-merge with subsystem maintainer ACKs. There
is one minor target-core patch in this series required to function.
* sbp ieee-1394/firewire target driver:
Chris Boot's driver for supportting the Serial Block Protocol (SBP)
across IEEE-1394 Firewire hardware. This will be going out as a
separate PULL request from target-pending/sbp-target-merge with two
additional drivers/firewire/ patches w/ subsystem maintainer ACKs.
* qla2xxx LLD target mode infrastructure changes + tcm_qla2xxx:
The Qlogic >= 24xx series HW target mode LLD infrastructure patch-set
and tcm_qla2xxx fabric driver. Support for FC target mode using
qla2xxx LLD code has been officially submitted by Qlogic to James
below, and is currently outstanding but not yet merged into
scsi.git/for-next..
[PATCH 00/22] qla2xxx: Updates for scsi "misc" branch
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg59350.html
Note there are *zero* direct dependencies upon this for-next series
for the qla2xxx LLD target + tcm_qla2xxx patches submitted above, and
over the last days the target mode team has been tracking down an
tcm_qla2xxx specific active I/O shutdown bug that appears to now be
almost squashed for 3.5-rc-fixes."

This patch fixes a bug in iscsit_allocate_iovecs() where iov_count was
incorrectly calculated using min(1UL, data_length / PAGE_SIZE) instead of
max(1UL, data_length / PAGE_SIZE), that ends up triggering an OOPs for
large block I/O when the SGL <-> iovec mapping exceeds the bogus iov_count
allocation size.
This is a regression introduced during the iscsi-target conversion back
to using core memory allocation here:

This patch fixes a bug in the handling of FILEIO w/ underlying block_device
resize operations where the original fd_dev->fd_dev_size was incorrectly being
used in fd_get_blocks() for READ_CAPACITY response payloads.
This patch avoids using fd_dev->fd_dev_size for FILEIO devices with
an underlying block_device, and instead changes fd_get_blocks() to
get the sector count directly from i_size_read() as recommended by hch.

This patch adds support for ALUA MI_REPORT_TARGET_PGS extended header
format defined within SPC-4. It changes target core ALUA emulation logic
within target_emulate_report_target_port_groups() to support both the
extended and original length only header formats.
It includes adding a new 'implict_trans_secs' attribute for each ALUA
target port group to control the value returned to the application client
for an recommended implict translation timeout in seconds. By default
this value is currently set to zero, and limited up to 255 by virtue of
using a single byte in the extended header format.
This value is used by target_emulate_report_target_port_groups() within
the extended header logic to set IMPLICIT TRANSITION TIME as defined by
spc4r30.

logic where the same physical client (eg: iSCSI InitiatorName) with

the same as a single iSCSI client entity.

This patch removes some potentially problematic legacy code within
core_clear_initiator_node_from_tpg() that was originally intended to
release left over se_lun_acl setup during dynamic NodeACL+MappedLUN
generate when running with TPG demo-mode operation.
Since we now only ever expect to allocate and release se_lun_acl from
within target_core_fabric_configfs.c:target_fabric_make_mappedlun() and
target_fabric_drop_mappedlun() context respectively, this code for
demo-mode release is incorrect and needs to be removed.

This patch removes the original usage of dev_attr->max_sectors in favor of
dev_attr->hw_max_sectors that is now being enforced by target core from
within transport_generic_cmd_sequencer() for SCF_SCSI_DATA_SG_IO_CDB ops.
After the recent se_task removal patches from hch, this value for IBLOCK
backends being set via configfs by userspace from an saved max_sectors
value that is turning out to be problematic, so it makes sense to go ahead
and remove this now legacy attribute all-together.
This patch also continues to make se_dev_set_default_attribs() do
(sectors / block_size) alignment for what actually get used by
target_core_mod to be safe here, following the same alignment currently
used by fabric_max_sectors.

Instead of depending upon a max_sectors value that may be set via
configfs based upon original HW queue limitations, go ahead and convert to using
the hw_max_sectors reported by the backend device in order to determine when
to reject an I/O's who's sector count exceeds what is supported by the backend
with a single se_cmd descriptor.
It addresses a potential case where se_dev_attrib.max_sectors for IBLOCK
backends has already been set via queue_max_sectors() to something small
like max_sectors=32 (LVM, DRBD may do this), resulting typically sized
SCF_SCSI_DATA_SG_IO_CDB to be incorrectly rejected with invalid_cdb_field
in transport_generic_cmd_sequencer().

From hch:
The high-performance backends (iblock and rd) support tasks of unlimited
size. With that there is no reason to keep a complex infrastructure for
splitting up commands in place. Stop doing so and only submit a single
task per data direction. Once this is in place we can slowly remove fields
from the task that duplicate things in the command, or move other fields
into the command.
From nab:
The benefit to IBLOCK performance by removing the additional
fast-path allocation overhead + SGL mapping to se_task->task_sg[] is now
greater than transparently supporting an received CDB I/O length that
exceeds what is allowed by backend pSCSI LLD hardware max_sectors, that
was originally supported for all backend export cases.
This change may effect some users of pSCSI users on legacy hardware, but
I think most folks are now using TYPE_DISK struct scsi_device export
with IBLOCK. The only other place where this may can issues that cannot
be resolved with IBLOCK TYPE_DISK is using TYPE_ROM, TYPE_TAPE or other
pSCSI non TYPE_DISK export with an SCSI LLDs using a smaller
max_sectors.
