Port vscsi=[] and scsi-{attach,detach,list} commands from xend to libxl.

libvirt uses its existing SCSI support:
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-04/msg02963.html

targetcli/rtslib has to be aware of xen-scsiback (upstream unresponsive):
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi.target.devel/8146

TODO:
 - check if "detach <vdev>" can be done with single host/single device instead
   of the ->remove field
 - check if a transaction should be used in libxl__device_vscsi_add
 - maybe use events instead of polling for "state" changes in reconfigure
   (libxl__wait_for_backend vs. libxl__ev_devstate_wait)
 - comply with tools/libxl/CODING_STYLE everywhere
 - document pvscsi in xen wiki

Changes between v6 and v7:
 - rebase to 'staging' (3b971de)
 - Introduce libxl_device_vscsictrl_append_vscsidev
 - Add libxl__vscsi_collect_ctrls and used it in libxl_device_vscsictrl_list
 - Convert type of lun from u32 to u64 per SCSI spec
 - Use vscsi_saved in libxl__device_vscsictrl_add
 - Assign unique vscsidev_id per vscsictrl
 - Rename vscsi_dev to vscsidev in function names
 - Rename variables in libxl_vscsiinfo
 - Rename locals to refer to ctrl/dev
 - Rename various strings from host to ctrl
 - Rename local variables vscsi_ctrl to vscsictrl
 - Rename libxl_device_vscsictrl->vscsi_devs to vscsidevs
 - Remove libxl_device_vscsidev->remove, rework detach
 - Rename libxl_device_vscsidev->vscsi_dev_id to vscsidev_id
 - Rename local variables vscsi_host to vscsi_ctrl
 - Rename local variables v_hst to v_ctrl
 - Remove libxl_device_vscsictrl->v_hst
 - Rename libxl_vscsi_dev to libxl_device_vscsidev
 - Rename libxl_device_vscsi to libxl_device_vscsictrl

Changes between v5 and v6:
 - rebase to 'staging' (a7b39c8 and b7e7ad8)
 - Fix off-by-one in xlu__vscsi_compare_udev
 - xl.cfg: use options instead of option
 - xl.cfg: fix grammar for pdev/options
 - xl.cfg: fix Usually typo
 - Remove next_vscsi_dev_id from libxl_device_vscsi
 - Use XLU_WWN_LEN also in libxl_vscsi.c
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-11/msg01446.html

Changes between v4 and v5:
 - vscsiif.h: refer to backend_domid
 - Set update_json in libxl_device_vscsi_remove
 - Remove comment from libxl__device_vscsi_add
 - Remove debug LOG from libxl__device_vscsi_reconfigure

 - Wrap long lines in main_vscsilist
 - Call libxl_vscsiinfo_dispose unconditional
 - Let scsi-list print p-dev instead of p-devname
 - Handle broken vscsi device entry in xenstore
 - Split libxl__vscsi_fill_host from libxl_device_vscsi_list
 - Make xlu_vscsi_append_dev static
 - Remove reference to pvscsi.txt from xenstore-paths.markdown
 - xl.cfg: update Linux and xenlinux
 - xl.cfg: refer to backend domain instead of dom0
 - xl.cfg: be more verbose what persistant format is
 - return if libxl__device_vscsi_dev_backend_set fails in libxl__device_vscsi_new_backend
 - target-create-xen-scsiback.sh: set also alias for libvirt
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-05/msg00523.html

Changes between v3 and v4:
 - Use libxl__device_nextid in libxl__device_vscsi_add

 - Scripts to create and delete xen-scsiback nodes in Linux target framework
 - Remove pvscsi.txt
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-04/msg01949.html

Changes between v2 and v3:
 - Adjust change for vscsiif.h
 - Support "naa.wwn:lun" notation in pvops kernel
 - Add example for pvops kernel using targetcli
   patch required for python-rtslib:
   http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi.target.devel/8146
 - Use vdev variable in libxl_device_vscsi_parse
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-03/msg00734.html

Changes between v1 and v2:
 - ported to current staging
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-03/msg00030.html

Initial attempt was sent a year ago:
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-04/msg03958.html
Most comments are addressed.

This version has been tested with SLES as backend and frontend.

The pvops kernel expects either "naa.WWN:LUN" or "h:c:t:l" in the p-dev
property. Add the missing :LUN part to the comment.

+provided by this framework, such as a xen-scsiback aware targetcli. The "pdev"

+ * Xenstore format in practice
+ * ===========================
+ * 
+ * The backend driver uses a single_host:many_devices notation to manage domU
+ * devices. Everything is stored in /local/domain/<backend_domid>/backend/vscsi/.
+ * The xenstore layout looks like this (dom0 is assumed to be the backend_domid):
+ * 
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/feature-host = "0"
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/frontend = "/local/domain/<domid>/device/vscsi/0"
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/frontend-id = "<domid>"
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/online = "1"
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/state = "4"
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/vscsi-devs/dev-0/p-dev = "8:0:2:1" or "naa.wwn:lun"
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/vscsi-devs/dev-0/state = "4"
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/vscsi-devs/dev-0/v-dev = "0:0:0:0"
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/vscsi-devs/dev-1/p-dev = "8:0:2:2"
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/vscsi-devs/dev-1/state = "4"
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/vscsi-devs/dev-1/v-dev = "0:0:1:0"
+ * 
+ * The frontend driver maintains its state in
+ * /local/domain/<domid>/device/vscsi/.
+ * 
+ *     <vhost>/backend = "/local/domain/0/backend/vscsi/<domid>/<vhost>"
+ *     <vhost>/backend-id = "0"

+ *     <vhost>/vscsi-devs/dev-0/state = "4"
+ *     <vhost>/vscsi-devs/dev-1/state = "4"
+ * 
+ * In addition to the entries for backend and frontend these flags are stored
+ * for the toolstack:
+ * 
+ *     <domid>/<vhost>/vscsi-devs/dev-1/p-devname = "/dev/$device"
+ * 
+ *

Just to make them public, not meant for merging:
The scripts used during development to create a bunch of SCSI devices in
dom0 using the Linux target framework. targetcli3 and rtslib3 is used.

A patch is required for python-rtslib:

I think the actual "merge" should be like this, to copy the data
gathered from xenstore into the d_config which was built from JSON.
{
libxl_device_vscsictrl_dispose(dst);
libxl_device_vscsictrl_copy(CTX, dst, src);
}

In this version I have moved the decision to remove vscsictrl into
libxlu. I wonder if thats a valid approach. Should there be a
libxl_device_vscsidev_remove which takes a *vscsidev, walks the list of
vscsictrls in xenstore and then calls either a variant of
libxl_device_vscsictrl_remove or libxl__device_vscsidev_rm?
Please advice.

Olaf

This creates /libxl/<domid>/vscsi/<devid>/counter. Where is the place to
remove /libxl/<domid>/vscsi/<devid> during scsi-detach? As a workaround
I'm in the process to move the counter to the backend path.

... which fails due to libxl__device_exists(). So, back to /libxl
