Subject: [PATCH-v2 0/3] target/iblock: Add WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=0 emulation

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@...ux-iscsi.org>

Hi folks,

This -v2 series for-3.8 adds support for proper WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=0 emulation
for IBLOCK device backends to follow MKP's WRITE_SAME client patches that have
been merged in v3.7-rc1.

Currently it uses a bio_add_page() call for each sector in order to allow
scatterlist w/ page offsets to work, as blkdev_issue_write_same() currently
assumes underlying hw support + zero page offset.

This -v2 includes the following changes requested by hch to v1:

 - Drop the SCF_WRITE_SAME_DISCARD flag
 - Add sbc_ops handler specific to WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=1
 - Move max_write_same_len sanity check from IBLOCK into sbc code
 - Add SGL check for single sector in iblock_execute_write_same()

I'm testing these changes now against iscsi-target + tcm_loop ports on
target-pending/for-next.  Please review.

Thanks!
