[SCSI] osd_uld: API for retrieving osd devices from Kernel
Kernel clients like exofs can retrieve struct osd_dev(s) by means of below API. + osduld_path_lookup() - given a path (e.g "/dev/osd0") locks and returns the corresponding struct osd_dev, which is then needed for subsequent libosd use. + osduld_put_device() - free up use of an osd_dev. Devices can be shared by multiple clients. The osd_uld_device's life time is governed by an embedded kref structure. The osd_uld_device holds an extra reference to both it's char-device and it's scsi_device, and will release these just before the final deallocation. There are three possible lock sources of the osd_uld_device 1. First and for most is the probe() function called by scsi-ml upon a successful login into a target. Released in release() when logout. 2. Second by user-mode file handles opened on the char-dev. 3. Third is here by Kernel users. All three locks must be removed before the osd_uld_device is freed. The MODULE has three lock sources as well: 1. scsi-ml at probe() time, removed after release(). (login/logout) 2. The user-mode file handles open/close. 3. Import symbols by client modules like exofs. TODO: This API is not enough for the pNFS-objects LD. A more versatile API will be needed. Proposed API could be: struct osd_dev *osduld_sysid_lookup(const char id[OSD_SYSTEMID_LEN]); Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
