Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Add a LIO storage engine that presents commands to userspace for execution.
This would allow more complex backstores to be implemented out-of-kernel,
and also make experimentation a-la FUSE (but at the SCSI level -- "SUSE"?)
possible.
It uses a mmap()able UIO device per LUN to share a command ring and data
area. The commands are raw SCSI CDBs and iovs for in/out data. The command
ring is also reused for returning scsi command status and optional sense
data.
This implementation is based on Shaohua Li's earlier version but heavily
modified. Differences include:
* Shared memory allocated by kernel, not locked-down user pages
* Single ring for command request and response
* Offsets instead of embedded pointers
* Generic SCSI CDB passthrough instead of per-cmd specialization in ring
format.
* Uses UIO device instead of anon_file passed in mailbox.
* Optional in-kernel handling of some commands.
The main reason for these differences is to permit greater resiliency
if the user process dies or hangs.
Things not yet implemented (on purpose):
* Zero copy. The data area is flexible enough to allow page flipping or
backend-allocated pages to be used by fabrics, but it's not clear these
are performance wins. Can come later.
* Out-of-order command completion by userspace. Possible to add by just
allowing userspace to change cmd_id in rsp cmd entries, but currently
not supported.
* No locks between kernel cmd submission and completion routines. Sounds
like it's possible, but this can come later.
* Sparse allocation of mmaped area. Current code vmallocs the whole thing.
If the mapped area was larger and not fully mapped then the driver would
have more freedom to change cmd and data area sizes based on demand.
Current code open issues:
* The use of idrs may be overkill -- we maybe can replace them with a
simple counter to generate cmd_ids, and a hash table to get a cmd_id's
associated pointer.
* Use of a free-running counter for cmd ring instead of explicit modulo
math. This would require power-of-2 cmd ring size.

This patch adds support for EXTENDED_COPY emulation from SPC-3, that
enables full copy offload target support within both a single virtual
backend device, and across multiple virtual backend devices. It also
functions independent of target fabric, and supports copy offload
across multiple target fabric ports.
This implemenation supports both EXTENDED_COPY PUSH and PULL models
of operation, so the actual CDB may be received on either source or
desination logical unit.
For Target Descriptors, it currently supports the NAA IEEE Registered
Extended designator (type 0xe4), which allows the reference of target
ports to occur independent of fabric type using EVPD 0x83 WWNs.
For Segment Descriptors, it currently supports copy from block to
block (0x02) mode.
It also honors any present SCSI reservations of the destination target
port. Note that only Supports No List Identifier (SNLID=1) mode is
supported.
Also included is basic RECEIVE_COPY_RESULTS with service action type
OPERATING PARAMETERS (0x03) required for SNLID=1 operation.
v3 changes:
- Fix incorrect return type in target_do_receive_copy_results()
(Fengguang)
v2 changes:
- Use target_alloc_sgl() instead of transport_generic_get_mem()
- Convert debug output to use pr_debug()
- Convert target_xcopy_parse_target_descriptors() NAA IEEN WWN
dump to use 0x%16phN format specification
- Drop unnecessary xcopy_pt_cmd->xpt_passthrough_wsem, and
associated usage in xcopy_pt_write_pending() and
target_xcopy_issue_pt_cmd()
- Add check for unsupported EXTENDED_COPY(LID4) service action
bits in target_do_xcopy()

Instead of trying to handle all SCSI command sets in one function
(transport_generic_cmd_sequencer) call out to the backend driver to perform
this functionality. For pSCSI a copy of the existing code is used, but for
all virtual backends we can use a new parse_sbc_cdb helper is used to
provide a simple SBC emulation.
For now this setups means a fair amount of duplication between pSCSI and the
SBC library, but patches later in this series will sort out that problem.

The FireWire SBP-2 Target is a driver for using an IEEE-1394 connection
as a SCSI transport. This module uses the SCSI Target framework to
expose LUNs to other machines attached to a FireWire bus, in effect
acting as a FireWire hard disk similar to FireWire Target Disk mode
on many Apple computers.
This commit contains the squashed pull from Chris Boot's SBP-2-Target:

core) support
This is a comprehensive patch for FC-FC4 provider. tcm_fc is a FC-FC4
provider which glues target core (TCM) with Fiber channel library
(libfc). tcm_fc uses existing FC4 provider hooks from Fiber channel
library. This Fiber channel library is used by FCoE (transport - FC
over Ethernet) protocol driver as well.
Combination of modules such as Fiber channel library, tcm_fc, TCM
target core, and FCoE protocol driver enables functional FCoE target.
This patch includes initial commit for tcm_fc plus additional
enhancement, bug fixes.
This tcm_fc module essentially contains 3 entry points such as "prli",
"prlo", "recv". When process login request (ELS_PRLI) request is
received, Fiber channel library (libfc) module calls passive providers
(FC-FC4, tcm_fc) (if any registered) "prli" function. Likewise when
LOGO request is received, "prlo" function of passive provider is
invoked by libfc. For all other request (e.g. any read/write, task
management, LUN inquiry commands), "recv" function of passiver
provider is invoked by libfc. Those passive providers "prli, prlo,
recv" functions interact with TCM target core for requested operation.
This module was primarily developed by "Joe Eykholt" and there were
significant contributions from the people listed under signed-off.

This patch adds the TCM_Loop Linux/SCSI LLD fabric module for
accessing TCM device backstores as locally accessable SCSI LUNs in
virtual SAS, FC, and iSCSI Target ports using the generic fabric
TransportID and Target Port WWN naming handlers from TCM's
target_core_fabric_lib.c The TCM_Loop module uses the generic fabric
configfs infratructure provided by target_core_fabric_configfs.c and
adds a module dependent attribute for the creation/release of the
virtual I_T Nexus connected the TCM_Loop Target and Initiator Ports.
TCM_Loop can also be used with scsi-generic and BSG drivers so that
STGT userspace fabric modules, QEMU-KVM and other hypervisor SCSI
passthrough support can access TCM device backstore and control CDB
emulation.

target_core_transport.c and target_core_base.h code to allow existing
fabric independent statistics to function.
This includes the removal of a handful of 'atomic_t mib_ref_count'
counters used in struct se_node_acl, se_session and se_hba to prevent
removal while using seq_list procfs walking logic.

LIO target is a full featured in-kernel target framework with the
following feature set:
High-performance, non-blocking, multithreaded architecture with SIMD
support.
Advanced SCSI feature set:
* Persistent Reservations (PRs)
* Asymmetric Logical Unit Assignment (ALUA)
* Protocol and intra-nexus multiplexing, load-balancing and failover (MC/S)
* Full Error Recovery (ERL=0,1,2)
* Active/active task migration and session continuation (ERL=2)
* Thin LUN provisioning (UNMAP and WRITE_SAMExx)
Multiprotocol target plugins
Storage media independence:
* Virtualization of all storage media; transparent mapping of IO to LUNs
* No hard limits on number of LUNs per Target; maximum LUN size ~750 TB
* Backstores: SATA, SAS, SCSI, BluRay, DVD, FLASH, USB, ramdisk, etc.
Standards compliance:
* Full compliance with IETF (RFC 3720)
* Full implementation of SPC-4 PRs and ALUA
Significant code cleanups done by Christoph Hellwig.
