From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Greetings SCSI and virtual filesystem folks, This patch series contains the initial commits to lio-core-2.6.git/lio-4.0 to support the new generic fabric module configfs infrastructure for TCM, and the subsequent changes to drivers/target/lio-target and drivers/target/tcm_loop to use generic configfs infrastructure from drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configfs.c. The main idea behind the 4.0 configfs code is that fabric modules can use a generic set of struct config_item_types and struct config_groups hanging off fabric dependent structures, without having to explictly define a configfs layout of /sys/kernel/config/target/$FABRIC themselves. This allows a generic layout to be used with fabric dependent attributes using struct config_item_type context specific macros in include/target/target_core_fabric_configfs.h. This is still a WIP, and this first series allows both lio-target and tcm_loop fabric modules to run in demo mode (eg: no ACLs) using the generic configfs code. I am hoping to get some feedback on the current work and any thoughts on possible improvements.. Thanks! Signed-off-by: Nicholas A.
