b277d2aa9a [SCSI] libfc: add support of large receive offload by ddp in fc_fcp
When LLD supports direct data placement (ddp) for large receive of an scsi
i/o coming into fc_fcp, we call into libfc_function_template's ddp_setup()
to prepare for a ddp of large receive for this read I/O. When I/O is complete,
we call the corresponding ddp_done() to get the length of data ddped as well
as to let LLD do clean up.

fc_fcp_ddp_setup()/fc_fcp_ddp_done() are added to setup and complete a ddped
read I/O described by the given fc_fcp_pkt. They would call into corresponding
ddp_setup/ddp_done implemented by the fcoe layer. Eventually, fcoe layer calls
into LLD's ddp_setup/ddp_done provided through net_device

42e9a92fe6 [SCSI] libfc: A modular Fibre Channel library
libFC is composed of 4 blocks supported by an exchange manager
and a framing library. The upper 4 layers are fc_lport, fc_disc,
fc_rport and fc_fcp. A LLD that uses libfc could choose to
either use libfc's block, or using the transport template
defined in libfc.h, override one or more blocks with its own
implementation.

The EM (Exchange Manager) manages exhcanges/sequences for all
commands- ELS, CT and FCP.

The framing library frames ELS and CT commands.

The fc_lport block manages the library's representation of the
host's FC enabled ports.

The fc_disc block manages discovery of targets as well as
handling changes that occur in the FC fabric (via. RSCN events).

The fc_rport block manages the library's representation of other
entities in the FC fabric. Currently the library uses this block
for targets, its peer when in point-to-point mode and the
directory server, but can be extended for other entities if
needed.

The fc_fcp block interacts with the scsi-ml and handles all
I/O.
