>>>>>>>>>> The TCM v4 fabric module script generator <<<<<<<<<<

Greetings all,

This document is intended to be a mini-HOWTO for using the tcm_mod_builder.py
script to generate a brand new functional TCM v4 fabric .ko module of your very own,
that once built can be immediately be loaded to start access the new TCM/ConfigFS
fabric skeleton, by simply using:

	modprobe $TCM_NEW_MOD
	mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD

This script will create a new drivers/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD/, and will do the following

	*) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
	   ->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg(), ->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn().  These are created
	   into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
	*) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
	   using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
	*) Based on user defined T10 Proto_Ident for the new fabric module being built,
	   the TransportID / Initiator and Target WWPN related handlers for
	   SPC-3 persistent reservation are automatically generated in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
	   using drivers/target/target_core_fabric_lib.c logic.
	*) NOP API calls for all other Data I/O path and fabric dependent attribute logic
	   in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c

tcm_mod_builder.py depends upon the mandatory '-p $PROTO_IDENT' and '-m
$FABRIC_MOD_name' parameters, and actually running the script looks like:

target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target# python tcm_mod_builder.py -p iSCSI -m tcm_nab5000
tcm_dir: /mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../
Set fabric_mod_name: tcm_nab5000
Set fabric_mod_dir:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000
Using proto_ident: iSCSI
Creating fabric_mod_dir:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_base.h
Using tcm_mod_scan_fabric_ops:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../include/target/target_core_fabric_ops.h
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_fabric.c
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_fabric.h
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/tcm_nab5000_configfs.c
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kbuild
Writing file:
/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git/Documentation/target/../../drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kconfig
Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kbuild..? [yes,no]: yes
Would you like to add tcm_nab5000to drivers/target/Kconfig..? [yes,no]: yes

At the end of tcm_mod_builder.py. the script will ask to add the following
line to drivers/target/Kbuild:

	obj-$(CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000)       += tcm_nab5000/

and the same for drivers/target/Kconfig:

	source "drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/Kconfig"

*) Run 'make menuconfig' and select the new CONFIG_TCM_NAB5000 item:

	<M>   TCM_NAB5000 fabric module

*) Build using 'make modules', once completed you will have:

target:/mnt/sdb/lio-core-2.6.git# ls -la drivers/target/tcm_nab5000/

*) Load the new module, create a lun_0 configfs group, and add new TCM Core
   IBLOCK backstore symlink to port:

Future TODO items:

	*) Add more T10 proto_idents
	*) Make tcm_mod_dump_fabric_ops() smarter and generate function pointer
	   defs directly from include/target/target_core_fabric_ops.h:struct target_core_fabric_ops
	   structure members.
