commit b497ceb964a80ebada3b9b3cea4261409039e25a upstream.

ARM cannot handle udelay for more than 2 miliseconds, so we
should use mdelay instead for those.

commit 6431f5d7c6025f8b007af06ea090de308f7e6881 upstream.

Problem: When Hardware IOMMU is on, megaraid_sas driver initialization fails
in kdump kernel with LSI MegaRAID controller(device id-0x73).

Actually this issue needs fix in firmware, but for firmware running in field,
this driver fix is proposed to resolve the issue.  At firmware initialization
time, if firmware does not come to ready state, driver will reset the adapter
and retry for firmware transition to ready state unconditionally(not only
executed for kdump kernel).

commit 085b513f97d8d799d28491239be4b451bcd8c2c5 upstream.

sd_prep_fn will allocate a larger CDB for the command via mempool_alloc
for devices using DIF type 2 protection.  This CDB was being freed
in sd_done, which results in a kernel crash if the command is retried
due to a UNIT ATTENTION.  This change moves the code to free the larger
CDB into sd_unprep_fn instead, which is invoked after the request is
complete.

It is no longer necessary to call scsi_print_command separately for
this case as the -&gt;cmnd will no longer be NULL in the normal code path.

Also removed conditional test for DIF type 2 when freeing the larger
CDB because the protection_type could have been changed via sysfs while
the command was executing.

commit 96f15f29038e58e1b0a96483e2b369ff446becf1 upstream.

This commit fixes a race condition in the isci driver abort task and SSP
device task management path.  The race is caused when an I/O termination
in the SCU hardware is necessary because of an SSP target timeout condition,
and the check of the I/O end state races against the HW-termination-driven
end state.  The failure of the race meant that no TMF was sent to the device
to clean-up the pending I/O.

commit ffc8b30866879ed9ba62bd0a86fecdbd51cd3d19 upstream.

Disk names may contain arbitrary strings, so they must not be
interpreted as format strings.  It seems that only md allows arbitrary
strings to be used for disk names, but this could allow for a local
memory corruption from uid 0 into ring 0.

commit 39c60a0948cc06139e2fbfe084f83cb7e7deae3b upstream.

Some arrays synchronize their full non volatile cache when the sd driver sends
a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command.  Unfortunately, they can have Terrabytes of this
and we send a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE for every barrier if an array reports it has a
writeback cache.  This leads to massive slowdowns on journalled filesystems.

The fix is to allow userspace to turn off the writeback cache setting as a
temporary measure (i.e. without doing the MODE SELECT to write it back to the
device), so even though the device reported it has a writeback cache, the
user, knowing that the cache is non volatile and all they care about is
filesystem correctness, can turn that bit off in the kernel and avoid the
performance ruinous (and safety irrelevant) SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands.

The way you do this is add a 'temporary' prefix when performing the usual
cache setting operations, so

echo temporary write through &gt; /sys/class/scsi_disk/&lt;disk&gt;/cache_type

commit 39c60a0948cc06139e2fbfe084f83cb7e7deae3b upstream.

Some arrays synchronize their full non volatile cache when the sd driver sends
a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command.  Unfortunately, they can have Terrabytes of this
and we send a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE for every barrier if an array reports it has a
writeback cache.  This leads to massive slowdowns on journalled filesystems.

The fix is to allow userspace to turn off the writeback cache setting as a
temporary measure (i.e. without doing the MODE SELECT to write it back to the
device), so even though the device reported it has a writeback cache, the
user, knowing that the cache is non volatile and all they care about is
filesystem correctness, can turn that bit off in the kernel and avoid the
performance ruinous (and safety irrelevant) SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands.

cache setting operations, so
