commit 55c171a6d90dc0574021f9c836127cfd1a7d2e30 upstream.

Running under a kvm host does not necessarily imply the presence of
a page mapped above the main memory with the virtio information;
however, the code includes a hard coded access to that page.

Instead, check for the presence of the page and exit gracefully
before we hit an addressing exception if it does not exist.

commit d99e79ec5574fc556c988f613ed6175f6de66f4a upstream.

The check to whom a device is reserved is done by checking the path
state of the affected channel paths. If it turns out that one path is
flagged as reserved by someone else the whole device is marked as such.

However the meaning of the RESVD_ELSE bit is that the addressed device
is reserved to a different pathgroup (and not reserved to a different
LPAR). If we do this test on a path which is currently not a member of
the pathgroup we could erroneously mark the device as reserved to
someone else.

To fix this collect the reserved state for all potential members of the
pathgroup and only mark the device as reserved if all of those potential
members have the RESVD_ELSE bit set.

<title>SCSI: zfcp: only access zfcp_scsi_dev for valid scsi_device</title>

commit d436de8ce25f53a8a880a931886821f632247943 upstream.

__scsi_remove_device (e.g. due to dev_loss_tmo) calls
zfcp_scsi_slave_destroy which in turn sends a close LUN FSF request to
the adapter. After 30 seconds without response,
zfcp_erp_timeout_handler kicks the ERP thread failing the close LUN
ERP action. zfcp_erp_wait in zfcp_erp_lun_shutdown_wait and thus
zfcp_scsi_slave_destroy returns and then scsi_device is no longer
valid. Sometime later the response to the close LUN FSF request may
finally come in. However, commit
b62a8d9b45b971a67a0f8413338c230e3117dff5
"[SCSI] zfcp: Use SCSI device data zfcp_scsi_dev instead of zfcp_unit"
introduced a number of attempts to unconditionally access struct
zfcp_scsi_dev through struct scsi_device causing a use-after-free.
This leads to an Oops due to kernel page fault in one of:
zfcp_fsf_abort_fcp_command_handler, zfcp_fsf_open_lun_handler,
zfcp_fsf_close_lun_handler, zfcp_fsf_req_trace,
zfcp_fsf_fcp_handler_common.
Move dereferencing of zfcp private data zfcp_scsi_dev allocated in
scsi_device via scsi_transport_reserve_device after the check for
potentially aborted FSF request and thus no longer valid scsi_device.
Only then assign sdev_to_zfcp(sdev) to the local auto variable struct
zfcp_scsi_dev *zfcp_sdev.

commit d99b601b63386f3395dc26a699ae703a273d9982 upstream.

Upstream commit f3450c7b917201bb49d67032e9f60d5125675d6a
"[SCSI] zfcp: Replace local reference counting with common kref"
accidentally dropped a reference count check before tearing down
zfcp_ports that are potentially in use by zfcp_units.
Even remote ports in use can be removed causing
unreachable garbage objects zfcp_ports with zfcp_units.
Thus units won't come back even after a manual port_rescan.
The kref of zfcp_port-&gt;dev.kobj is already used by the driver core.
We cannot re-use it to track the number of zfcp_units.
Re-introduce our own counter for units per port
and check on port_remove.

commit ca579c9f136af4274ccfd1bcaee7f38a29a0e2e9 upstream.

If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator
variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head,
and not a meaningful structure.  Thus this value should not be used after
the end of the iterator.  Replace port-&gt;adapter-&gt;scsi_host by
adapter-&gt;scsi_host.

This problem was found using Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).

commit cb45214960bc989af8b911ebd77da541c797717d upstream.

If the mapping of FCP device bus ID and corresponding subchannel
is modified while the Linux image is suspended, the resume of FCP
devices can fail. During resume, zfcp gets callbacks from cio regarding
the modified subchannels but they can be arbitrarily mixed with the
restore/resume callback. Since the cio callbacks would trigger
adapter recovery, zfcp could wakeup before the resume callback.
Therefore, ignore the cio callbacks regarding subchannels while
being suspended. We can safely do so, since zfcp does not deal itself
with subchannels. For problem determination purposes, we still trace the
ignored callback events.

The following kernel messages could be seen on resume:

kernel: &lt;WWPN&gt;: parent &lt;FCP device bus ID&gt; should not be sleeping

As part of adapter reopen recovery, zfcp performs auto port scanning
which can erroneously try to register new remote ports with
scsi_transport_fc and the device core code complains about the parent
(adapter) still sleeping.

kernel: zfcp.3dff9c: &lt;FCP device bus ID&gt;:\
 Setting up the QDIO connection to the FCP adapter failed
&lt;last kernel message repeated 3 more times&gt;
kernel: zfcp.574d43: &lt;FCP device bus ID&gt;:\
 ERP cannot recover an error on the FCP device

In such cases, the adapter gave up recovery and remained blocked along
with its child objects: remote ports and LUNs/scsi devices. Even the
adapter shutdown as part of giving up recovery failed because the ccw
device state remained disconnected. Later, the corresponding remote
ports ran into dev_loss_tmo. As a result, the LUNs were erroneously
not available again after resume.

Even a manually triggered adapter recovery (e.g. sysfs attribute
failed, or device offline/online via sysfs) could not recover the
adapter due to the remaining disconnected state of the corresponding
ccw device.

"compat: fix compile breakage on s390" breaks compilation...

Re-add a single #include &lt;asm/compat.h&gt; in order to fix this.

This patch is _not_ necessary for upstream, only for stable kernels
which include the "build fix" mentioned above.

One fix for arch/s390/kernel/setup.c was already sent and applied. But
we need a similar patch for drivers/s390/char/fs3270.c.

commit 048cd4e51d24ebf7f3552226d03c769d6ad91658 upstream.

The new is_compat_task() define for the !COMPAT case in
include/linux/compat.h conflicts with a similar define in
arch/s390/include/asm/compat.h.

This is the minimal patch which fixes the build issues.

Gergely Kalman reported crashes in check_peer_redir().

It appears commit f39925dbde778 (ipv4: Cache learned redirect
information in inetpeer.) added a race, leading to possible NULL ptr
dereference.

Since we can now change dst neighbour, we should make sure a reader can
safely use a neighbour.

Add RCU protection to dst neighbour, and make sure check_peer_redir()
can be called safely by different cpus in parallel.

As neighbours are already freed after one RCU grace period, this patch
should not add typical RCU penalty (cache cold effects)

Many thanks to Gergely for providing a pretty report pointing to the
bug.
