iscsi-target: Add iSCSI fabric support for target v4.1
The Linux-iSCSI.org target module is a full featured in-kernel
software implementation of iSCSI target mode (RFC-3720) for the
current WIP mainline target v4.1 infrastructure code for the v3.1
kernel. More information can be found here:
http://linux-iscsi.org/wiki/ISCSI
This includes support for:
* RFC-3720 defined request / response state machines and support for
all defined iSCSI operation codes from Section 10.2.1.2 using libiscsi
include/scsi/iscsi_proto.h PDU definitions
* Target v4.1 compatible control plane using the generic layout in
target_core_fabric_configfs.c and fabric dependent attributes
within /sys/kernel/config/target/iscsi/ subdirectories.
* Target v4.1 compatible iSCSI statistics based on RFC-4544 (iSCSI MIBS)
* Support for IPv6 and IPv4 network portals in M:N mapping to TPGs
* iSCSI Error Recovery Hierarchy support
* Per iSCSI connection RX/TX thread pair scheduling affinity
* crc32c + crc32c_intel SSEv4 instruction offload support using libcrypto
* CHAP Authentication support using libcrypto
* Conversion to use internal SGl allocation with iscsit_alloc_buffs() ->
transport_generic_map_mem_to_cmd()
