Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
"Here are the target updates for v3.18-rc2 code. These where
originally destined for -rc1, but due to the combination of travel
last week for KVM Forum and my mistake of taking the three week merge
window literally, the pull request slipped.. Apologies for that.
Things where reasonably quiet this round. The highlights include:
- New userspace backend driver (target_core_user.ko) by Shaohua Li
and Andy Grover
- A number of cleanups in target, iscsi-taret and qla_target code
from Joern Engel
- Fix an OOPs related to queue full handling with CHECK_CONDITION
status from Quinn Tran
- Fix to disable TX completion interrupt coalescing in iser-target,
that was causing problems on some hardware
- Fix for PR APTPL metadata handling with demo-mode ACLs
I'm most excited about the new backend driver that uses UIO + shared
memory ring to dispatch I/O and control commands into user-space.
This was probably the most requested feature by users over the last
couple of years, and opens up a new area of development + porting of
existing user-space storage applications to LIO. Thanks to Shaohua +
Andy for making this happen.
Also another honorable mention, a new Xen PV SCSI driver was merged
via the xen/tip.git tree recently, which puts us now at 10 target
drivers in upstream! Thanks to David Vrabel + Juergen Gross for their
work to get this code merged"
