Dan Carpenter 3011684c0b target: handle empty string writes in sysfs
These are root only and we're not likely to hit the problem in practise,
but it makes the static checkers happy.

Jörn Engel 8359cf43b9 target: remove useless casts
A reader should spend an extra moment whenever noticing a cast,
because either something special is going on that deserves extra
attention or, as is all too often the case, the code is wrong.

These casts, afaics, have all been useless.  They cast a foo* to a
foo*, cast a void* to the assigned type, cast a foo* to void*, before
assigning it to a void* variable, etc.

In a few cases I also removed an additional &...[0], which is equally
useless.

Lastly I added three FIXMEs where, to the best of my judgement, the
code appears to have a bug.  It would be good if someone could check
these.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 90c161b643 target: use \n as a separator for configuration
The command
| echo rd_pages=32768 > ramdisk/control

Does not work because it writes "rd_pages=32768\n" and the parser which
matches for "rd_pages=%d" does not recognize it due to the \n. One way
of fixing this would be using "echo -n" instead.
This patch adds \n to the list of separators so we don't have to use the
-n argument which I find is more convinient.

This reorganized the headers under include/target into:

 - target_core_base.h stays as is with all target-wide data stuctures and defines
 - target_core_backend.h contains the whole interface to I/O backends

Nicholas Bellinger 2e982ab92d target: Remove legacy se_task->task_timer and associated logic
This patch removes the legacy usage of se_task->task_timer and associated
infrastructure that originally was used as a way to help manage buggy backend
SCSI LLDs that in certain cases would never return back an outstanding task.

This includes the removal of target_complete_timeout_work(), timeout logic
from transport_complete_task(), transport_task_timeout_handler(),
transport_start_task_timer(), the per device task_timeout configfs attribute,
and all task_timeout associated structure members and defines in
target_core_base.h

This is being removed in preparation to make transport_complete_task() run
in lock-less mode.

since THIS_MODULE is NULL for built-in modules.  The main method of
using the target code may be as modules, but having everything built-in
is useful eg to be able to do quick testing with "qemu -kernel".

In any case, we shouldn't bomb out fabric registration for a perfectly

Dan Carpenter 60d645a4e9 target: Fix incorrect strlen() NULL terminator checks
This patch fixes a number of cases in target core using an incorrectly

	if (strlen(foo) > SOME_MAX_SIZE)

As strlen() returns the number of characters in the string not counting
the NULL character at the end.  So if you do something like:

        char buf[10];

        if (strlen("0123456789") > 10)
                return -ETOOLONG;
        snprintf(buf, 10, "0123456789");
        printf("%s\n", buf);

then the last "9" gets chopped off and only "012345678" is printed.

Plus I threw in one small related cleanup.

Nicholas Bellinger 7c2bf6e925 [SCSI] target: Fix top-level configfs_subsystem default_group shutdown breakage
This patch fixes two bugs uncovered during testing with
slub_debug=FPUZ during module_exit() -> target_core_exit_configfs()
with release of configfs subsystem consumer default groups, namely how
this should be working with
fs/configfs/dir.c:configfs_unregister_subsystem() release logic for
struct config_group->default_group.

The first issue involves configfs_unregister_subsystem() expecting to
walk+drain the top-level subsys->su_group.default_groups directly in
unlink_group(), and not directly from the configfs subsystem consumer
for the top level struct config_group->default_groups.  This patch
drops the walk+drain of subsys->su_group.default_groups from TCM
configfs subsystem consumer code, and moves the top-level
->default_groups kfree() after configfs_unregister_subsystem() has
been called.

The second issue involves calling
core_alua_free_lu_gp(se_global->default_lu_gp) to release the
default_lu_gp->lu_gp_group before configfs_unregister_subsystem() has
been called.  This patches also moves the core_alua_free_lu_gp() call
to release default_lu_group->lu_gp_group after the subsys has been
unregistered.

Finally, this patch explictly clears the
[lu_gp,alua,hba]_cg->default_groups pointers after kfree() to ensure
that no stale memory is picked up from child struct
config_group->default_group[] while configfs_unregister_subsystem() is
called.

Storage media independence:

    * Virtualization of all storage media; transparent mapping of IO to LUNs
    * No hard limits on number of LUNs per Target; maximum LUN size ~750 TB
    * Backstores: SATA, SAS, SCSI, BluRay, DVD, FLASH, USB, ramdisk, etc.

Standards compliance:

    * Full compliance with IETF (RFC 3720)
    * Full implementation of SPC-4 PRs and ALUA

Significant code cleanups done by Christoph Hellwig.
