We are releasing code to add support for iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) to the existing STGT user space SCSI target. It uses OpenFabrics libraries and kernel drivers to act as a SCSI target over RDMA-capable devices. The code has been tested against the existing Linux iSER initiator over InfiniBand cards, but should be specification compliant and work generally. A bit of documentation is included, and a short technical report is available at http://www.osc.edu/~pw/papers/iser-techreport.pdf . For performance, a single SCSI client using iSCSI over gigabit ethernet does 100 MB/s. iSCSI over IPoIB gets 200 MB/s, and iSER over native IB sees 500 MB/s. More information on STGT is available at http://stgt.berlios.de . The seven iSER patches can be downloaded from: git://git.osc.edu/tgt or browsed at: http://git.osc.edu/?p=tgt.git;a=summary New and modified files are distributed under a GPLv2 license. I'll submit individual patches to stgt-devel for review and eventual inclusion in STGT. -- Pete - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
