This is a trivial extension to the block layout driver to support the new SCSI layouts draft. There are three changes: - device identifcation through the SCSI VPD page. This allows us to directly use the udev generated persistent device names instead of requiring an expensive lookup by crawling every block device node in /dev and reading a signature for it. - use of SCSI persistent reservations to protect device access and allow for robust fencing. On the client sides this just means registering and unregistering a server supplied key. - an optimized LAYOUTCOMMIT payload that doesn't send unessecary fields to the server.
