[PATCH 1/3] [SCSI] scst: Move target sysfs documentation to Documentation/ABI

[Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>]

Move the documentation about SCSI target drivers and devices from
Documentation/scst/SysfsRules and Documentation/scst/README.scst to
Documentation/ABI/stable.

- - enabled - using this attribute you can enable or disable this target/
-   It allows to finish configuring it before it starts accepting new

- - addr_method - used LUNs addressing method. Possible values:
-   "Peripheral" and "Flat". Most initiators work well with Peripheral
-   addressing method (default), but some (HP-UX, for instance) may
-   require Flat method. This attribute is also available in the
-   initiators security groups, so you can assign the addressing method
-   on per-initiator basis.
-
- - cpu_mask - defines CPU affinity mask for threads serving this target.
-   For threads serving LUNs it is used only for devices with
-   threads_pool_type "per_initiator".
-
- - io_grouping_type - defines how I/O from sessions to this target are

-   performance. By setting this attribute in a right value, you can
-   considerably increase performance of your setup. This grouping is
-   performed only if you use CFQ I/O scheduler on the target and for

-   is "auto" (default), all I/O from initiators with the same name
-   (iSCSI initiator name, for instance) in all targets will be grouped
-   together with a separate dedicated I/O group for each initiator name.
-   For iSCSI this mode works well, but other transports usually use

-   "this_group_only", or an explicit I/O group number. This attribute is

-   the I/O grouping on per-initiator basis. See below for more info how

-   for convenience SCST allows disabled targets to have not unique

-    targets), this read only attribute for all hardware targets will
-    exist and contain value 1.
-
-Subdirectory "sessions" contains one subdirectory for each connected
-session with name equal to name of the connected initiator.
-
-Each session subdirectory contains the following entries:
-
- - initiator_name - contains initiator name
-
- - force_close - optional write-only attribute, which allows to force

-
- - active_commands - contains number of active, i.e. not yet or being
