The contents of those directories were orphaned at the documentation
body.
While those directories could likely be moved to be inside some guide,
I'm opting to just adding their indexes to the main one, removing the
:orphan: and adding the SPDX header.
For the drivers, the rationale is that the documentation contains
a mix of Kernelspace, uAPI and admin-guide. So, better to keep them on
separate directories, as we've be doing with similar subsystem-specific
docs that were not split yet.
For the others, well... I'm too lazy to do the move. Also, it
seems to make sense to keep at least some of those at the main
dir (like kbuild, for example). In any case, a latter patch
could do the move.

Convert the TCM docs to ReST format and add them to the
bookset.
This has a mix of userspace-faced and Kernelspace faced
docs. Still, it sounds a better candidate to be added at
the kernel API set of docs.
The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Turns out the template and thus many drivers got the return value wrong:
0 means the fabrics driver needs to put a session reference, which no
driver except for the iSCSI target drivers did. Fortunately none of these

"It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of
different areas.
The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within
target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric
drivers tree-wide.
There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and
se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a
completely lockless code-path. It also removes the original
hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint.
The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core
and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while
still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes.
The highlights include:
- Merge sbc_verify_dif_* into common code (sagi)
- Remove iscsi-target support for obsolete IFMarker/OFMarker
(Christophe Vu-Brugier)
- Add bidi support in target/user backend (ilias + vangelis + agover)
- Move se_node_acl allocation into target-core code (hch)
- Add crc_t10dif_update common helper (akinobu + mkp)
- Handle target-core odd SGL mapping for data transfer memory
(akinobu)
- Move transport ID handling into target-core (hch)
- Move task tag into struct se_cmd + support 64-bit tags (bart)
- Convert se_node_acl->device_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch +

TCMU requires more work to correctly handle both user handlers that want
all SCSI commands (pass_level=0) for a se_device, and also handlers that
just want I/O commands and let the others be emulated by the kernel
(pass_level=1). Only support the latter for now.
For full passthrough, we will need to support a second se_subsystem_api
template, due to configfs attributes being different between the two modes.
Thus pass_level is extraneous, and we can remove it.

The initial version of TCMU (in 3.18) does not properly handle
bidirectional SCSI commands -- those with both an in and out buffer. In
looking to fix this it also became clear that TCMU's support for adding
new types of entries (opcodes) to the command ring was broken. We need
to fix this now, so that future issues can be handled properly by adding
new opcodes.
We make the most of this ABI break by enabling bidi cmd handling within
TCMP_OP_CMD opcode. Add an iov_bidi_cnt field to tcmu_cmd_entry.req.
This enables TCMU to describe bidi commands, but further kernel work is
needed for full bidi support.
Enlarge tcmu_cmd_entry_hdr by 32 bits by pulling in cmd_id and __pad1. Turn
__pad1 into two 8 bit flags fields, for kernel-set and userspace-set flags,
"kflags" and "uflags" respectively.
Update version fields so userspace can tell the interface is changed.
Update tcmu-design.txt with details of how new stuff works:
- Specify an additional requirement for userspace to set UNKNOWN_OP
(bit 0) in hdr.uflags for unknown/unhandled opcodes.
- Define how Data-In and Data-Out fields are described in req.iov[]
Changed in v2:
- Change name of SKIPPED bit to UNKNOWN bit
- PAD op does not set the bit any more
- Change len_op helper functions to take just len_op, not the whole struct
- Change version to 2 in missed spots, and use defines
- Add 16 unused bytes to cmd_entry.req, in case additional SAM cmd
parameters need to be included
- Add iov_dif_cnt field to specify buffers used for DIF info in iov[]
- Rearrange fields to naturally align cdb_off
- Handle if userspace sets UNKNOWN_OP by indicating failure of the cmd
- Wrap some overly long UPDATE_HEAD lines

Every fabric driver has to supply a se_tfo->set_fabric_sense_len()
method, just so iSCSI can return an offset of 2. However, every fabric
driver is already allocating a sense buffer and passing it into the
target core, either via transport_init_se_cmd() or target_submit_cmd().
So instead of having iSCSI pass the start of its sense buffer into the
core and then later tell the core to skip the first 2 bytes, it seems
easier for iSCSI just to do the offset of 2 when it passes the sense
buffer into the core. Then we can drop the se_tfo->set_fabric_sense_len()
everywhere, and just add a couple of lines of code to iSCSI to set the
sense data length to the beginning of the buffer right before it sends
it over the network.
