-- FC target mode drivers
-
-First, we need to figure out how to add target mode support to
-mainline scsi_transport_fc. Then we need more tweaks in the user-space
-code.
-
-
-- user-space passthrough
-
-sg v4 is necessary for the user-space target drivers' passthrough.
-
-
-- backing-storage disk images
-
-bd_mmap/aio support only raw images. They should support fancy disk
-images (like QCOW, vmdk, etc) to enjoy snapshot without using LVM.
-Adding QCOW to bd_mmap is quite simple, but a bit tricky to bd_aio
-(see Xen's blktap code). Without code duplication, we need to add disk
-images to both bd_mmap/aio.
-
-
-- rearrange backing storage code
-
-Now the backing storage code includes: file I/O (bd_mmap/aio/xen) and
-user-space passthrough (bd_sg). The design are hacky. The backing
-storage code will be more complicated (supports the fancy disk images,
-OSD, etc). We need to reconsider the design at some future time.
-
-
-- kernel-space passthrough
-
-We need a new kernel module for the kernel-space target drivers'
-passthrough. Seems it's ok by James as long as it's cleanly
-implemented.
-
-
-- persistent reservations
-
-Nice though I'm not sure this is that important.
-
-
-- backing-storage virtualization
-
-Virtual tape support would be nice but it needs lot of work and I have
-no plan to implement this.
-
-Virtual cdrom support isn't difficult but I'm not sure people really
-need it.
-
-
-- AIO event notification
-
-The user-space target drivers (only iSCSI now, possibly SRP later on)
-need an event notification inferface to handle both synchronous and
-asynchronous file descriptors. Now we use a workaround to use a I/O
-helper thread (runs synchrnously to enable tgtd daemon run
-asynchrnously). This workaround will be removed when upstream kernels
-have a unified event notification interface (there are some candidates
-under development). It should improve the tgt AIO performance too.
