Hi All,

Below is proposal for the SCST sysfs layout, which will replace existing procfs-based infrastructure. Any comments, questions and suggestions are welcome!

I. SCST sysfs layout.

Root would be /sys/scsi_tgt.

In the root there would be the following files and subdirectories:

- targets - subdirectory listing names of all registered target drivers.

 - devices - subdirectory listing all registered backend devices.

 - sgv - subdirectory listing all existing SGV pools.

- drivers - subdirectory listing all loaded target and backend drivers (dev handlers).

- threads - RW file listing number of global SCST threads. Writing to that file would allow to change that value.

- trace_level - RW file listing SCST core logging level. Writing to that file would allow to change that. Example content: "out_of_mem | minor | pid | line | function | special | mgmt | mgmt_minor | mgmt_dbg | retry". See current procfs implementation of this file for more info.

- version - RO file listing version of SCST core and enabled compile time features. Example content: "1.0.2, EXTRACHECKS, DEBUG"

Based on all I read this last days, I believe we are not allowed to include the directory scsi_tgt on /sys root. I think it has to be in a existent directory reserved for this sort of application. I just didn't figured out which one it would be.
/sys/class? It already has scsi_device, scsi_disk, scsi_generic and scsi_host.

I don't think so because all the directories on /sys/class have symlinks to the files somewhere else. However I noticed that many of them on my system are on /sys/device/virtual

Let's go with root in /sys/class/scsi_tgt. In future, if somebody objects, we can easily change it.
