    iscsi-target: remove support for obsolete markers · c04a6091
    Christophe Vu-Brugier authored
    Support for markers is currently broken because of a bug in
    iscsi_enforce_integrity_rules(): the "IFMarkInt_Reject" and
    "OFMarkInt_Reject" variables are always equal to 1 in
    iscsi_enforce_integrity_rules().
    
    Moreover, fixed interval markers keys (IFMarker, OFMarker, IFMarkInt
    and OFMarkInt) are obsolete according to iSCSI RFC 7143:
    
    >From http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7143#section-13.25
    
    :
    
       13.25.  Obsoleted Keys
    
       This document obsoletes the following keys defined in [RFC3720]:
       IFMarker, OFMarker, OFMarkInt, and IFMarkInt.  However, iSCSI
       implementations compliant to this document may still receive these
       obsoleted keys -- i.e., in a responder role -- in a text negotiation.
    
       When an IFMarker or OFMarker key is received, a compliant iSCSI
       implementation SHOULD respond with the constant "Reject" value.  The
       implementation MAY alternatively respond with a "No" value.
    
       However, the implementation MUST NOT respond with a "NotUnderstood"
       value for either of these keys.
    
       When an IFMarkInt or OFMarkInt key is received, a compliant iSCSI
       implementation MUST respond with the constant "Reject" value.  The
       implementation MUST NOT respond with a "NotUnderstood" value for
       either of these keys.
    
    This patch disables markers by turning the corresponding parameters to
    read-only. The default value of IFMarker and OFMarker remains "No" but
    the user cannot change it to "Yes" anymore. The new value of IFMarkInt
    and OFMarkInt is "Reject".
