docs: target: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
Convert the TCM docs to ReST format and add them to the bookset. This has a mix of userspace-faced and Kernelspace faced docs. Still, it sounds a better candidate to be added at the kernel API set of docs. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

The TCM v4 fabric module script generator
|
||||
=========================================
|
||||
|
||||
Greetings all,
|
||||
|
||||
This document is intended to be a mini-HOWTO for using the tcm_mod_builder.py
|
||||
script to generate a brand new functional TCM v4 fabric .ko module of your very own,
|
||||
that once built can be immediately be loaded to start access the new TCM/ConfigFS
|
||||
fabric skeleton, by simply using::
|
||||
|
||||
modprobe $TCM_NEW_MOD
|
||||
mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD
|
||||
|
||||
This script will create a new drivers/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD/, and will do the following
|
||||
|
||||
1) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
|
||||
->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg(), ->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn(). These are created
|
||||
into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
|
||||
2) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
|
||||
using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
|
||||
3) Based on user defined T10 Proto_Ident for the new fabric module being built,
|
||||
the TransportID / Initiator and Target WWPN related handlers for
|
||||
SPC-3 persistent reservation are automatically generated in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
|
||||
using drivers/target/target_core_fabric_lib.c logic.
|
||||
4) NOP API calls for all other Data I/O path and fabric dependent attribute logic
|
||||
in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
|
||||
|
||||
tcm_mod_builder.py depends upon the mandatory '-p $PROTO_IDENT' and '-m
|
||||
$FABRIC_MOD_name' parameters, and actually running the script looks like::
|
||||
|
||||
target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target# python tcm_mod_builder.py -p iSCSI -m tcm_nab5000
|
||||
tcm_dir: /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../
|
||||
Set fabric_mod_name: tcm_nab5000
|
||||
Set fabric_mod_dir:
|
||||
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000
|
||||
Using proto_ident: iSCSI

Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kconfig..? [yes,no]: yes
|
