<id>urn:sha1:653e7d639682be855c34415b1b7542d9388aafd6</id>
<content type='text'>
The goal of this work is to remove the explicit dependency for ctl(4)
on iscsi(4), so end-users without iscsi(4) support in the kernel can
use ctl(4) for its other functions.

This allows those without iscsi(4) support built into the kernel to use
ctl(4) as a test mechanism. As a sidenote, this was possible around the
10.0-RELEASE period, but made impossible for end-users without iscsi(4)
between 10.0-RELEASE and 11.0-RELEASE.

Automatically load cfiscsi(4) from ctladm(8) and ctld(8) for backwards
compatibility with previously releases. The automatic loading feature is
compiled into the beforementioned tools if MK_ISCSI == yes when building
world.

Add a manpage for cfiscsi(4) and refer to it in ctl(4).

<title>Reimplement CTL High Availability.</title>

<content type='text'>
CTL HA functionality was originally implemented by Copan many years ago,
but large part of the sources was never published.  This change includes
clean room implementation of the missing code and fixes for many bugs.

This code supports dual-node HA with ALUA in four modes:
 - Active/Unavailable without interlink between nodes;
 - Active/Standby with second node handling only basic LUN discovery and
reservation, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
 - Active/Active with both nodes processing commands and accessing the
backing storage, synchronizing with the first node through the interlink;
 - Active/Active with second node working as proxy, transfering all
commands to the first node for execution through the interlink.

Unlike original Copan's implementation, depending on specific hardware,
this code uses simple custom TCP-based protocol for interlink.  It has
no authentication, so it should never be enabled on public interfaces.

The code may still need some polishing, but generally it is functional.

It has nothing to share with too huge ctl.c other then device descriptor,
but even that may be counted as design error that may be fixed later.
At some point we may even want to have several ioctl ports.

Its idea was to be a simple initiator and execute several commands from
kernel level, but FreeBSD never had consumer for that functionality,
while its implementation polluted many unrelated places..

This allows to clone VMs and move them between LUNs inside one storage
host without generating extra network traffic to the initiator and back,
and without being limited by network bandwidth.

LUNs participating in copy operation should have UNIQUE NAA or EUI IDs set.
For LUNs without these IDs VMWare will use traditional copy operations.

Beware: the above LUN IDs explicitly set to values non-unique from the VM
cluster point of view may cause data corruption if wrong LUN is addressed!

<title>- For kernel compiled only with KDTRACE_HOOKS and not any lock debugging</title>

  option, unbreak the lock tracing release semantic by embedding
  calls to LOCKSTAT_PROFILE_RELEASE_LOCK() direclty in the inlined
  version of the releasing functions for mutex, rwlock and sxlock.
  Failing to do so skips the lockstat_probe_func invokation for
  unlocking.
- As part of the LOCKSTAT support is inlined in mutex operation, for
  kernel compiled without lock debugging options, potentially every
  consumer must be compiled including opt_kdtrace.h.
  Fix this by moving KDTRACE_HOOKS into opt_global.h and remove the
  dependency by opt_kdtrace.h for all files, as now only KDTRACE_FRAMES
  is linked there and it is only used as a compile-time stub [0].

[0] immediately shows some new bug as DTRACE-derived support for debug
in sfxge is broken and it was never really tested.  As it was not
including correctly opt_kdtrace.h before it was never enabled so it
was kept broken for a while.  Fix this by using a protection stub,
leaving sfxge driver authors the responsibility for fixing it
appropriately [1].
