iSCSI must support software iscsi (iscsi_tcp, iser), hardware iscsi (qla4xxx),
and partial offload (broadcom). To be able to allow each stack or driver
or port (virtual or physical) to be able to log into the same target portal
we use the initiator tuple [[HWADDRESS | NETDEVNAME], INITIATOR_NAME] and
the target tuple [TARGETNAME, CONN_ADDRESS, CONN_PORT] to id a session.
This patch adds the netdev name, which is used by software iscsi when
it binds a session to a netdevice using the SO_BINDTODEVICE sock opt.
It cannot use HWADDRESS because if someone did vlans then the same netdevice
will have the same mac and the initiator,target id will not be unique.

This patch exports the local address for the session. For
qla4xxx this is the ip of the hba's port. For software
this is the src addr of the socket.

Userspace will want to know what the driver/FW/HW capabilites
when it comes to some operations like if the hardware can
do discovery or if it can store iscsi info like what target
was used for boot. This patch adds some new caps so userspace
can tell if the driver supports hardware/fw based sendtargets
discovery and if the hardware has some flash which may be
holding or can contain some iscsi target info
.

This patch allows us to set can_queue and cmds_per_lun from userspace
when we create the session/host. From there we can set it on a per
target basis. The patch fully converts iscsi_tcp, but only hooks
up ib_iser for cmd_per_lun since it currently has a lots of preallocations
based on can_queue.

The attached patches add sysfs files for the chap settings
to the iscsi transport class, iscsi_tcp and ib_iser. This is
needed for software iscsi because there are times when iscsid
can die and it will need to reread the values it was using.
And it is needed by qla4xxx for basic management opertaions.
This patch does not hook in qla4xxx yet, because I am not sure
the mbx command to use.

For iscsi root boot, software iscsi needs to know what the BIOS/OF
initiator used for the initiator name so this puts it in sysfs
for userspace to be able to pick up.
For hw iscsi, it is nice to see what the card is using.
This patch adds the new param, and hooks in qla4xxx, iscsi_tcp, and ib_iser.

This patch adds or modifies the transport class functions
used to notify userspace of session state events.
We modify the session addition up event and add a destruction event
to notify userspace of session creation, relogin and destruction.
And we modify the conn error event to be sent by broadcast
since multiple listeners may want to listen for it.

Patch from david.somayajulu@qlogic.com:
Add target discovery event. We may have a setup where the iscsi traffic
is on a different netowrk than the other network traffic. In this case
we will want to do discovery though the iscsi card. This patch adds
a event to the transport class that can be used by hw iscsi cards that
support this.

debugged by Ming and Rohan:
The problem Ming and Rohan debugged was that during a normal session
login, open-iscsi is not incrementing the exp_statsn counter. It was
stuck at zero. From the RFC, it looks like if the login response PDU has
a successful status then we should be incrementing that value. Also from
the RFC, it looks like if when we drop a connection then reconnect, we
should be using the exp_statsn from the old connection in the next
relogin attempt.

There is a lot of code duplcited between iscsi_tcp
and the upcoming iscsi_iser driver. This patch puts
the duplicated code in a lib. There is more code
to move around but this takes care of the
basics. For iscsi_offload if they use the lib we will
probably move some things around. For example in the
queuecommand we will not assume that the LLD wants
to do queue_work, but it is better to handle that
later when we know for sure what iscsi_offload looks
like (we could probably do this for iscsi_iser though to).
Ideally I would like to get the iscsi_transports modules
to a place where all they really have to do is put data
on the wire, but how to do that will hopefully be more clear
when we see other modules like iscsi_offload. Or maybe
iscsi_offload will not use the lib and it will just be
iscsi_iser and iscsi_tcp and maybe the iscsi_tcp_tgt if that
is allowed in mainline.

The current iscsi_tcp eh is not nicely setup for dm-multipath
and performs some extra task management functions when they
are not needed.
The attached patch:
- Fixes the TMF issues. If a session is rebuilt
then we do not send aborts.
- Fixes the problem where if the host reset fired, we would
return SUCCESS even though we had not really done anything
yet. This ends up causing problem with scsi_error.c's TUR.
- If someone has turned on the userspace nop daemon code to try
and detect network problems before the scsi command timeout
we can now drop and clean up the session before the scsi command
timesout and fires the eh speeding up the time it takes for a
command to go from one patch to another. For network problems
we fail the command with DID_BUS_BUSY so if failfast is set
scsi_decide_disposition fails the command up to dm for it to
try on another path.
- And we had to add some basic iscsi session block code. Previously
if we were trying to repair a session we would retrun a MLQUEUE code
in the queuecommand. This worked but it was not the most efficient
or pretty thing to do since it would take a while to relogin
to the target. For iscsi_tcp/open-iscsi a lot of the iscsi error handler
is in userspace the block code is pretty bare. We will be
adding to that for qla4xxx.

For iscsi boot when going from initramfs to the real root we
need to stop the userpsace iscsi daemon. To later restart it
iscsid needs to be able to rebuild itself and part of that
process is matching a session running the kernel with the
iscsid representation. To do this the attached patch
adds several required iscsi values. If the LLD does not provide
them becuase, login is done in userspace, then the transport
class and userspace set ths up for the LLD.

hw iscsi like qla4xxx does not allocate a host per session and
for userspace it is difficult to restart iscsid using the
"iscsi handles" for the session and connection, so this
patch just has the class or userspace allocate the id for
the session and connection.
Note: this breaks userspace and requires users to upgrade to the newest
open-iscsi tools. Sorry about his but open-iscsi is still too new to
say we have a stable user-kernel api and we were not good nough
designers to know that other hw iscsi drivers and iscsid itself would
need such changes. Actually we sorta did but at the time we did not
have the HW available to us so we could only guess.
Luckily, the only tools hooking into the class are the open-iscsi ones
or other tools like iscsitart hook into the open-iscsi engine from
userspace or prgroams like anaconda call our tools so they are not affected.

ogerlitz@voltaire.com
This patch cleans up that interface by having the lld and class
pass a iscsi_cls_session or iscsi_cls_conn between each other when
the function is used by HW and SW iscsi llds. This way the lld
does not have to remember if it has to send a handle or pointer
and a handle or pointer to connection, session or host.
This also has the class verify the session handle that gets passed from
userspace instead of using the pointer passed into the kernel directly.

This is the second version of the patch to address Christoph's comments.
Instead of doing the lib, I just kept everything in scsi_trnapsort_iscsi.c
like the FC and SPI class. This was becuase the driver model and sysfs
class is tied to the session and connection setup so separating did not
buy very much at this time.
The reason for this patch was becuase HW iscsi LLDs like qla4xxx cannot
use the iscsi class becuase the scsi_host was tied to the interface and
class code. This patch just seperates the session from scsi host so
that LLDs that allocate the host per some resource like pci device
can still use the class.
This is also fixes a couple refcount bugs that can be triggered
when users have a sysfs file open, close the session, then
read or write to the file.
