# 288805 05-Oct-2015 mav

MFC r288259: Remove some duplicate, legacy, dead and questionable code.


# 288731 05-Oct-2015 mav

MFC r287620: Remove unused target and initiator IDs.


# 288719 05-Oct-2015 mav

MFC r286806: Drop "internal" CTL frontend.

Its idea was to be a simple initiator and execute several commands from
kernel level, but FreeBSD never had consumer for that functionality,
while its implementation polluted many unrelated places.


# 279002 19-Feb-2015 mav

MFC r278037: CTL LUN mapping rewrite.

Replace iSCSI-specific LUN mapping mechanism with new one, working for any
ports. By default all ports are created without LUN mapping, exposing all
CTL LUNs as before. But, if needed, LUN mapping can be manually set on
per-port basis via ctladm. For its iSCSI ports ctld does it via ioctl(2).
The next step will be to teach ctld to work with FibreChannel ports also.

Respecting additional flexibility of the new mechanism, ctl.conf now allows
alternative syntax for LUN definition. LUNs can now be defined in global
context, and then referenced from targets by unique name, as needed. It
allows same LUN to be exposed several times via multiple targets.

While there, increase limit for LUNs per target in ctld from 256 to 1024.
Some initiators do not support LUNs above 255, but that is not our problem.

# 275891 18-Dec-2014 mav

MFC r275461:
Increase CTL ports limit from 128 to 256 and LUNs limit from 256 to 1024.

After recent optimizations this change is no longer blocked by CTL memory
consumption. Those limits are still not free, but much cheaper now.

# 273315 20-Oct-2014 mav

MFC r272911:
Make ctld start even if some LUNs are unable to open backing storage.

Such LUNs will be visible to initiators, but return "not ready" status
on media access commands. If backing storage become available later,
`ctladm modify ...` or `service ctld reload` can trigger its reopen.


# 269298 30-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r268808:
Increase maximal number of SCSI ports in CTL from 32 to 128.

After I gave each iSCSI target its own port, the old limit appeared to be
not so big. This change almost proportionally increases per-LUN memory
use, but it is still three times better then it was before r268807.


# 268684 15-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r268302:
Pass through iSCSI session ISID from LOGIN request to the CTL frontend.

ISID is an important part of initiator transport ID for iSCSI. It is not
used now, but should be to properly implement persistent reservation.


# 268682 15-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r268291:
Create separate CTL port for every iSCSI target (and maybe portal group).

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.


# 268679 15-Jul-2014 mav

MFC r268284:
Introduce new IOCTL CTL_PORT_LIST reporting in more flexible XML format.

Leave old CTL_GET_PORT_LIST in place so far. Garbage-collect it later.

# 229997 12-Jan-2012 ken

Add the CAM Target Layer (CTL).

CTL is a disk and processor device emulation subsystem originally written
for Copan Systems under Linux starting in 2003. It has been shipping in
Copan (now SGI) products since 2005.

It was ported to FreeBSD in 2008, and thanks to an agreement between SGI
(who acquired Copan's assets in 2010) and Spectra Logic in 2010, CTL is
available under a BSD-style license. The intent behind the agreement was
that Spectra would work to get CTL into the FreeBSD tree.

Some CTL features:

- Disk and processor device emulation.
- Tagged queueing
- SCSI task attribute support (ordered, head of queue, simple tags)
- SCSI implicit command ordering support. (e.g. if a read follows a mode
select, the read will be blocked until the mode select completes.)
- Full task management support (abort, LUN reset, target reset, etc.)
- Support for multiple ports
- Support for multiple simultaneous initiators
- Support for multiple simultaneous backing stores
- Persistent reservation support
- Mode sense/select support
- Error injection support
- High Availability support (1)
- All I/O handled in-kernel, no userland context switch overhead.

(1) HA Support is just an API stub, and needs much more to be fully
functional.

ctl.c: The core of CTL. Command handlers and processing,
character driver, and HA support are here.

ctl.h: Basic function declarations and data structures.

ctl_backend.c,
ctl_backend.h: The basic CTL backend API.

ctl_backend_block.c,
ctl_backend_block.h: The block and file backend. This allows for using
a disk or a file as the backing store for a LUN.
Multiple threads are started to do I/O to the
backing device, primarily because the VFS API
requires that to get any concurrency.

ctl_backend_ramdisk.c: A "fake" ramdisk backend. It only allocates a
small amount of memory to act as a source and sink
for reads and writes from an initiator. Therefore
it cannot be used for any real data, but it can be
used to test for throughput. It can also be used
to test initiators' support for extremely large LUNs.

ctl_cmd_table.c: This is a table with all 256 possible SCSI opcodes,
and command handler functions defined for supported
opcodes.

ctl_debug.h: Debugging support.

ctl_error.c,
ctl_error.h: CTL-specific wrappers around the CAM sense building
functions.

ctl_frontend.c,
ctl_frontend.h: These files define the basic CTL frontend port API.

ctl_frontend_cam_sim.c: This is a CTL frontend port that is also a CAM SIM.
This frontend allows for using CTL without any
target-capable hardware. So any LUNs you create in
CTL are visible in CAM via this port.

ctl_frontend_internal.c,
ctl_frontend_internal.h:
This is a frontend port written for Copan to do
some system-specific tasks that required sending
commands into CTL from inside the kernel. This
isn't entirely relevant to FreeBSD in general,
but can perhaps be repurposed.

ctl_ha.h: This is a stubbed-out High Availability API. Much
more is needed for full HA support. See the
comments in the header and the description of what
is needed in the README.ctl.txt file for more
details.

ctl_io.h: This defines most of the core CTL I/O structures.
union ctl_io is conceptually very similar to CAM's
union ccb.

ctl_ioctl.h: This defines all ioctls available through the CTL
character device, and the data structures needed
for those ioctls.

ctl_mem_pool.c,
ctl_mem_pool.h: Generic memory pool implementation used by the
internal frontend.

ctl_private.h: Private data structres (e.g. CTL softc) and
function prototypes. This also includes the SCSI
vendor and product names used by CTL.

ctl_scsi_all.c,
ctl_scsi_all.h: CTL wrappers around CAM sense printing functions.

ctl_ser_table.c: Command serialization table. This defines what
happens when one type of command is followed by
another type of command.

ctl_util.c,
ctl_util.h: CTL utility functions, primarily designed to be
used from userland. See ctladm for the primary
consumer of these functions. These include CDB
building functions.

scsi_ctl.c: CAM target peripheral driver and CTL frontend port.
This is the path into CTL for commands from
target-capable hardware/SIMs.

README.ctl.txt: CTL code features, roadmap, to-do list.

usr.sbin/Makefile: Add ctladm.

ctladm/Makefile,
ctladm/ctladm.8,
ctladm/ctladm.c,
ctladm/ctladm.h,
ctladm/util.c: ctladm(8) is the CTL management utility.
It fills a role similar to camcontrol(8).
It allow configuring LUNs, issuing commands,
injecting errors and various other control
functions.

usr.bin/Makefile: Add ctlstat.

ctlstat/Makefile
ctlstat/ctlstat.8,
ctlstat/ctlstat.c: ctlstat(8) fills a role similar to iostat(8).
It reports I/O statistics for CTL.

sys/conf/files: Add CTL files.

sys/conf/NOTES: Add device ctl.

sys/cam/scsi_all.h: To conform to more recent specs, the inquiry CDB
length field is now 2 bytes long.

Add several mode page definitions for CTL.

sys/cam/scsi_all.c: Handle the new 2 byte inquiry length.

sys/dev/ciss/ciss.c,
sys/dev/ata/atapi-cam.c,
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_targ_bh.c,
scsi_target/scsi_cmds.c,
mlxcontrol/interface.c: Update for 2 byte inquiry length field.

scsi_da.h: Add versions of the format and rigid disk pages
that are in a more reasonable format for CTL.

amd64/conf/GENERIC,
i386/conf/GENERIC,
ia64/conf/GENERIC,
sparc64/conf/GENERIC: Add device ctl.

i386/conf/PAE: The CTL frontend SIM at least does not compile
cleanly on PAE.
