From d9d660f6e562a47b4065eeb7e538910b0471b988 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juergen Gross Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2014 06:44:12 +0200 Subject: xen-scsiback: Add Xen PV SCSI backend driver Introduces the Xen pvSCSI backend. With pvSCSI it is possible for a Xen domU to issue SCSI commands to a SCSI LUN assigned to that domU. The SCSI commands are passed to the pvSCSI backend in a driver domain (usually Dom0) which is owner of the physical device. This allows e.g. to use SCSI tape drives in a Xen domU. The code is taken from the pvSCSI implementation in Xen done by Fujitsu based on Linux kernel 2.6.18. Changes from the original version are: - port to upstream kernel - put all code in just one source file - adapt to Linux style guide - use target core infrastructure instead doing pure pass-through - enable module unloading - support SG-list in grant page(s) - support task abort - remove redundant struct backend - allocate resources dynamically - correct minor error in scsiback_fast_flush_area - free allocated resources in case of error during I/O preparation - remove CDB emulation, now handled by target core infrastructure Signed-off-by: Juergen Gross Reviewed-by: Nicholas Bellinger Signed-off-by: David Vrabel --- drivers/xen/Kconfig | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'drivers/xen/Kconfig') diff --git a/drivers/xen/Kconfig b/drivers/xen/Kconfig index 8bc01838daf9..b812462083fc 100644 --- a/drivers/xen/Kconfig +++ b/drivers/xen/Kconfig @@ -172,6 +172,15 @@ config XEN_PCIDEV_BACKEND If in doubt, say m. +config XEN_SCSI_BACKEND + tristate "XEN SCSI backend driver" + depends on XEN && XEN_BACKEND && TARGET_CORE + help + The SCSI backend driver allows the kernel to export its SCSI Devices + to other guests via a high-performance shared-memory interface. + Only needed for systems running as XEN driver domains (e.g. Dom0) and + if guests need generic access to SCSI devices. + config XEN_PRIVCMD tristate depends on XEN -- cgit v1.2.3
