[Scst-devel] SCST 3.9.0 release

[Gleb C. <gle...@sc...>]

Hi,

I'm glad to announce SCST 3.9 is available on Github:

https://github.com/SCST-project/scst/releases/tag/v3.9

Summary of changes between versions 3.8 and 3.9
-----------------------------------------------
- scst_vdisk: Added active attributes support to vdisk_fileio.
- iscsi-scst: Added a new link_local parameter to control whether link 
local addresses are included in the IPv6 SendTargets response, 
preserving existing behavior by including them.
- iscsi-scst: Added an internal_portal parameter to allow specified 
portals to bypass CHAP controls for both discovery and target login, 
preserving the existing behavior if unset.
- Fixed VPD inquiry handling for invalid LUNs. If the requested data 
cannot be returned, the device now correctly terminates with CHECK 
CONDITION as per SPC-6.
- Eliminated per-device synchronize_rcu() calls in 
scst_sess_free_tgt_devs(), significantly cutting cleanup time for large 
numbers of target devices.
- qla2x00t-32gbit driver: Updated from Linux kernel version v6.7 to v6.12.

The kernel versions supported by this release are:
* Kernel.org kernel versions v3.10..v6.12.
* Debian / Ubuntu kernels based on upstream kernel versions v3.10..v6.12.
* RHEL / CentOS / AlmaLinux 7.x, 8.0..8.9 and 9.0..9.5 kernels.
* UEK version 4, 5, 6 and 7 kernels.

Thanks,
Gleb
