Hello

I use target LIO for all my storage array test targets and customer problem resolution here at Red Hat.
This patch resulted from a requirement to mimic behaviour of an expensive hardware jammer for a customer.
I have used this for some time with good success to simulate and reproduce latency and slow drain fabric issues and
for testing and validating error handling behaviour in the Emulex, Qlogic and other F/C drivers.

Works by checking jammer_flag==1 and host # and discards SCSI command, controlled using echo to sys parameter.

I decided to share the patch, in the hope it may be useful for others but I do understand this is a special use case.
If this is useful and Nab wants to include it I will create a proper documentation patch as well.

Enable host 6 to be jammed

Usage example script:

#!/bin/bash
host=`cat /sys/module/tcm_qla2xxx/parameters/host_flag`
sleep_time=120  ### Time to jam for
echo "We start to discard commands on SCSI host $host"

echo 1 >  /sys/module/tcm_qla2xxx/parameters/jammer_flag
sleep $sleep_time
echo 0 >  /sys/module/tcm_qla2xxx/parameters/jammer_flag
echo "We stopped the jammer"
logger "Jammer stopped"

The above code is added in the hot path so it's worth to optimize that code. Had you already considered to combine the jammer_flag and host_flag kernel module parameters into a single parameter, e.g. "jam_host" ? The value "-1" could be used to represent "jamming disabled" and values >= 0 to represent a host number.

Additionally, please add unlikely() around the test that verifies whether jamming is enabled. Please also verify your patches with checkpatch before submission. The above patch does not follow the Linux kernel coding style completely.
