commit d8536670916a685df116b5c2cb256573fd25e4e3 upstream.

We need to call scsi_done() for commands after we abort them.

commit 9b796d06d5d1b1e85ae2316a283ea11dd739ef96 upstream.

srp_free_req() uses the scsi_cmnd structure contents to unmap
buffers, so we must invoke srp_free_req() before we release
ownership of that structure.

commit bea1e22df494a729978e7f2c54f7bda328f74bc3 upstream.

Fix a crash in ipoib_mcast_join_task().  (with help from Or Gerlitz)

Commit c8c2afe360b7 ("IPoIB: Use rtnl lock/unlock when changing device
flags") added a call to rtnl_lock() in ipoib_mcast_join_task(), which
is run from the ipoib_workqueue, and hence the workqueue can't be
flushed from the context of ipoib_stop().

In the current code, ipoib_stop() (which doesn't flush the workqueue)
calls ipoib_mcast_dev_flush(), which goes and deletes all the
multicast entries.  This takes place without any synchronization with
a possible running instance of ipoib_mcast_join_task() for the same
ipoib device, leading to a crash due to NULL pointer dereference.

Fix this by making sure that the workqueue is flushed before
ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() is called.  To make that possible, we move the
RTNL-lock wrapped code to ipoib_mcast_join_finish().

commit 220329916c72ee3d54ae7262b215a050f04a18fc upstream.

Avoid a crash caused by the scmnd-&gt;scsi_done(scmnd) call in
srp_process_rsp() being invoked with scsi_done == NULL.  This can
happen if a reply is received during or after a command abort.

Or Gerlitz reported triggering of WARN_ON_ONCE(delta &lt; len); in
skb_try_coalesce()
This warning tracks drivers that incorrectly set skb-&gt;truesize

IPoIB indeed allocates a full page to store a fragment, but only
accounts in skb-&gt;truesize the used part of the page (frame length)

This patch fixes skb truesize underestimation, and
also fixes a performance issue, because RX skbs have not enough tailroom
to allow IP and TCP stacks to pull their header in skb linear part
without an expensive call to pskb_expand_head()

Pull scsi-target changes from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "There has been lots of work in existing code in a number of areas this
  past cycle.  The major highlights have been:

   * Removal of transport_do_task_sg_chain() from core + fabrics
     (Roland)
   * target-core: Removal of se_task abstraction from target-core and
     enforce hw_max_sectors for pSCSI backends (hch)
   * Re-factoring of iscsi-target tx immediate/response queues (agrover)
   * Conversion of iscsi-target back to using target core memory
     allocation logic (agrover)

  We've had one last minute iscsi-target patch go into for-next to
  address a nasty regression bug related to the target core allocation
  logic conversion from agrover that is not included in friday's
  linux-next build, but has been included in this series.

  On the new fabric module code front for-3.5, here is a brief status
  update for the three currently in flight this round:

   * usb-gadget target driver:

  Sebastian Siewior's driver for supporting usb-gadget target mode
  operation.  This will be going out as a separate PULL request from
  target-pending/usb-target-merge with subsystem maintainer ACKs.  There
  is one minor target-core patch in this series required to function.

   * sbp ieee-1394/firewire target driver:

  Chris Boot's driver for supportting the Serial Block Protocol (SBP)
  across IEEE-1394 Firewire hardware.  This will be going out as a
  separate PULL request from target-pending/sbp-target-merge with two
  additional drivers/firewire/ patches w/ subsystem maintainer ACKs.

   * qla2xxx LLD target mode infrastructure changes + tcm_qla2xxx:

  The Qlogic &gt;= 24xx series HW target mode LLD infrastructure patch-set
  and tcm_qla2xxx fabric driver.  Support for FC target mode using
  qla2xxx LLD code has been officially submitted by Qlogic to James
  below, and is currently outstanding but not yet merged into
  scsi.git/for-next..

    [PATCH 00/22] qla2xxx: Updates for scsi "misc" branch
    http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg59350.html

  Note there are *zero* direct dependencies upon this for-next series
  for the qla2xxx LLD target + tcm_qla2xxx patches submitted above, and
  over the last days the target mode team has been tracking down an
  tcm_qla2xxx specific active I/O shutdown bug that appears to now be
  almost squashed for 3.5-rc-fixes."

* 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (47 commits)
  iscsi-target: Fix iov_count calculation bug in iscsit_allocate_iovecs
  iscsi-target: remove dead code in iscsi_check_valuelist_for_support
  target: Handle ATA_16 passthrough for pSCSI backend devices
  target: Add MI_REPORT_TARGET_PGS ext. header + implict_trans_secs attribute
  target: Fix MAINTENANCE_IN service action CDB checks to use lower 5 bits
  target: add support for the WRITE_VERIFY command
  target: make target_put_session void
  target: cleanup transport_execute_tasks()
  target: Remove max_sectors device attribute for modern se_task less code
  target: lock =&gt; unlock typo in transport_lun_wait_for_tasks
  target: Enforce hw_max_sectors for SCF_SCSI_DATA_SG_IO_CDB

  target: remove the t_task_cdbs_left field in struct se_cmd

The current error flow code was releasing the IB connection object and
calling iscsi_destroy_endpoint() directly without going through the
reference counting mechanism introduced in commit 39ff05d ("IB/iser:
Enhance disconnection logic for multi-pathing"). This resulted in a
double free of the iscsi endpoint object, which causes a kernel NULL
pointer dereference.  Fix that by plugging into the IB conn reference
counting correctly.

This patch renames a horribly misnamed function that no longer allocate
tasks to something more descriptive for it's modern use in target core.

(nab: Fix up ib_srpt to use this as well ahead of a target_submit_cmd
conversion)

<title>IB/srpt: Remove use of transport_do_task_sg_chain()</title>

With the modern target core, se_cmd-&gt;t_data_sg already points to a
sglist that covers the whole command.  So task_sg chaining is needless
overhead and obfuscation -- instead of splicing the split up task
sglists back into one list, we can just use the original list directly.
