      [SCSI] iscsi: add sysfs attrs for uspace sync up · fd7255f5
      Mike Christie authored 
      For iscsi boot when going from initramfs to the real root we
need to stop the userpsace iscsi daemon. To later restart it
iscsid needs to be able to rebuild itself and part of that
process is matching a session running the kernel with the
iscsid representation. To do this the attached patch
adds several required iscsi values. If the LLD does not provide
them becuase, login is done in userspace, then the transport
class and userspace set ths up for the LLD.

      [SCSI] iscsi: rm kernel iscsi handles usage for session and connection · b5c7a12d
      Mike Christie authored 
      from hare@suse.de and michaelc@cs.wisc.edu

hw iscsi like qla4xxx does not allocate a host per session and
for userspace it is difficult to restart iscsid using the
"iscsi handles" for the session and connection, so this
patch just has the class or userspace allocate the id for
the session and connection.

Note: this breaks userspace and requires users to upgrade to the newest
open-iscsi tools. Sorry about his but open-iscsi is still too new to
say we have a stable user-kernel api and we were not good nough
designers to know that other hw iscsi drivers and iscsid itself would
need such changes. Actually we sorta did but at the time we did not
have the HW available to us so we could only guess.

Luckily, the only tools hooking into the class are the open-iscsi ones
or other tools like iscsitart hook into the open-iscsi engine from
userspace or prgroams like anaconda call our tools so they are not affected.

      [SCSI] BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 flags · 13f7e5ac
      Kurt Garloff authored 
      Some devices report a peripheral qualifier of 3 for LUN 0; with the original
code, we would still try a REPORT_LUNS scan (if SCSI level is >= 3 or if we
have the BLIST_REPORTLUNS2 passed in), but NOT any sequential scan.
Also, the device at LUN 0 (which is not connected according to the PQ) is not
registered with the OS.

Unfortunately, SANs exist that are SCSI-2 and do NOT support REPORT_LUNS, but
report a unknown device with PQ 3 on LUN 0. We still need to scan them, and
most probably we even need BLIST_SPARSELUN (and BLIST_LARGELUN). See the bug
reference for an infamous example.

This is patch 3/3:
3. Implement the blacklist flag BLIST_ATTACH_PQ3 that makes the scsi
   scanning code register PQ3 devices and continues scanning; only sg
   will attach thanks to scsi_bus_match().

This patch 2/3:
If a PQ3 device is found, log a message that describes the device
(INQUIRY DATA and C:B:T:U tuple) and make a suggestion for blacklisting
it.

      [SCSI] Try LUN 1 and use bflags · 4186ab19

This is patch 1/3:
If we end up in sequential scan, at least try LUN 1 for devices
that reported a PQ of 3 for LUN 0.
Also return blacklist flags, even for PQ3 devices.
