"A virtual filesystem driven by userspace syscalls to represent a target HBA/DEV model on top upstream Linux storage subsystems for fabric modules using a generic set of configfs struct config_groups to represent target mode fabric endpoints (WWN+TPG+LUN) designed to allow each their own set of fabric dependent attributes on top of a generic kernel infrastructure. The model is to allow the Linux VFS to handle the TCM core HBA/DEV logic and both fabric independent and dependent data structure dependencies between LKMs in order to simplify the conversion of existing and creation of new target mode fabric code."
