* [SCSI] libfc: add some generic NPIV support routines to libfcChris Leech2009-12-041-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds a function to create a new VN_Port instances, which share the EM list with the N_Port, VN_Port lookup by fabric ID when responding to a new request (otherwise the exchange lookup from the N_Ports EM list is trusted to return an exchange with a cached lport value for the correct VN_Port), a pointer to a fc_vport structure for VN_Ports, and flags to indicate if an N_Port supports NPIV and if the switch/fabric allows it.

* [SCSI] libfc: Add libfc/fc_libfc.[ch] for libfc internal routinesRobert Love2009-12-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | include/scsi/libfc.h is currently loaded with common code shared between libfc's sub-modules as well as shared between libfc and fcoe. Previous patches attempted to move out non-common code. This patch creates two files for common libfc routines that will not be shared with fcoe, fnic or any other LLDs.

* [SCSI] libfc: A modular Fibre Channel libraryRobert Love2008-12-291-0/+12
libFC is composed of 4 blocks supported by an exchange manager and a framing library. The upper 4 layers are fc_lport, fc_disc, fc_rport and fc_fcp. A LLD that uses libfc could choose to either use libfc's block, or using the transport template defined in libfc.h, override one or more blocks with its own implementation. The EM (Exchange Manager) manages exhcanges/sequences for all commands- ELS, CT and FCP. The framing library frames ELS and CT commands. The fc_lport block manages the library's representation of the host's FC enabled ports. The fc_disc block manages discovery of targets as well as handling changes that occur in the FC fabric (via. RSCN events). The fc_rport block manages the library's representation of other entities in the FC fabric. Currently the library uses this block for targets, its peer when in point-to-point mode and the directory server, but can be extended for other entities if needed. The fc_fcp block interacts with the scsi-ml and handles all I/O.
