Subject: [PATCH 0/7] [Target_Core_Mod]: Add support for 4k physical/virtual
sector/block size devices
Greetings all,
This patch series adds support for 4k, 2k, 1k (eg: all non 512 byte) sector/block
size usage in Target_Core_Mod subsystem plugins. None 512-byte sector/block size
emulation has been added for virtual objects provided by IBLOCK, FILEIO and RAMDISK
subsystem plugins. 4k sector support SHOULD be working with pSCSI (passthrough to
Linux/SCSI and struct scsi_device) as well, but has not been tested on real 4k sector
capable SAS or SATA SSD hardware just yet. If anyone would like to test their
4k capable drives against the current code, please let me know your interest!
Here is things look like so far:
