Support iSER driver within the ISCSIDriver flow
Currently the iSER driver is supported over TGT only, and there are a couple of iSER classes that inherits from iSCSI classes, but most of their functionality is the same as the iSCSI classes. This code duplication causes instability in the iSER driver code, when new features or changes are added to the iSCSI driver flow.
This code duplication can be prevented with an easy fix to support enable_iser parameter within iSCSI Tgt/LIO classes.
All needed for RDMA support over iSER, in the Tgt and LIO cases, is to set just one extra parameter in the volume creation stage.
The changes required:
1. Fix bug https:/
2. Add a new ‘enable_iser’ parameter that is set to false by default.
3. Set the driver parameter at the VOLUME_CONFs template in TgtAdm, according to the 'enable_iser'.
4. Set ISCSIDriver's 'driver_
This change will act as a replacement to the current iSER Tgt code, so deprecation alert will be added to ISERTgtAdm.
