commit 2280521719e81919283b82902ac24058f87dfc1b upstream.

When pci_pool_alloc fails in mvs_task_prep then task-&gt;lldd_task stays
NULL but it's later used in mvs_abort_task as slot which is passed
to mvs_slot_task_free causing NULL pointer dereference.

Just return from mvs_slot_task_free when passed with NULL slot.

commit 451a2886b6bf90e2fb378f7c46c655450fb96e81 upstream.

unfortunately, allowing an arbitrary 16bit value means a possibility of
overflow in the calculation of total number of pages in bio_map_user_iov() -
we rely on there being no more than PAGE_SIZE members of sum in the
first loop there.  If that sum wraps around, we end up allocating
too small array of pointers to pages and it's easy to overflow it in
the second loop.

commit 8f2777f53e3d5ad8ef2a176a4463a5c8e1a16431 upstream.

Since fc_fcp_cleanup_cmd() can sleep this function must not
be called while holding a spinlock. This patch avoids that
fc_fcp_cleanup_each_cmd() triggers the following bug:

<title>libiscsi: Fix host busy blocking during connection teardown</title>

commit 660d0831d1494a6837b2f810d08b5be092c1f31d upstream.

In case of hw iscsi offload, an host can have N-number of active
connections. There can be IO's running on some connections which
make host-&gt;host_busy always TRUE. Now if logout from a connection
is tried then the code gets into an infinite loop as host-&gt;host_busy
is always TRUE.

 iscsi_conn_teardown(....)
 {
   .........
    /*
     * Block until all in-progress commands for this connection
     * time out or fail.
     */
     for (;;) {
      spin_lock_irqsave(session-&gt;host-&gt;host_lock, flags);
      if (!atomic_read(&amp;session-&gt;host-&gt;host_busy)) { /* OK for ERL == 0 */
	      spin_unlock_irqrestore(session-&gt;host-&gt;host_lock, flags);
              break;
      }
     spin_unlock_irqrestore(session-&gt;host-&gt;host_lock, flags);
     msleep_interruptible(500);
     iscsi_conn_printk(KERN_INFO, conn, "iscsi conn_destroy(): "
                 "host_busy %d host_failed %d\n",
	          atomic_read(&amp;session-&gt;host-&gt;host_busy),
	          session-&gt;host-&gt;host_failed);

	................
	...............
     }
  }

This is not an issue with software-iscsi/iser as each cxn is a separate
host.

Fix:
Acquiring eh_mutex in iscsi_conn_teardown() before setting
session-&gt;state = ISCSI_STATE_TERMINATE.

Analysis reveals the cause of the crash to be due to STp-&gt;device
being NULL. The pointer was NULLed via scsi_tape_put(STp) when it
calls scsi_tape_release(). In st_open() we jump to err_out after
scsi_block_when_processing_errors() completes and returns the
device as offline (sdev_state was SDEV_DEL):

1180 /* Open the device. Needs to take the BKL only because of incrementing the SCSI host
1181    module count. */
1182 static int st_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
1183 {
1184         int i, retval = (-EIO);
1185         int resumed = 0;
1186         struct scsi_tape *STp;
1187         struct st_partstat *STps;
1188         int dev = TAPE_NR(inode);
1189         char *name;
...
1217         if (scsi_autopm_get_device(STp-&gt;device) &lt; 0) {
1218                 retval = -EIO;
1219                 goto err_out;
1220         }
1221         resumed = 1;
1222         if (!scsi_block_when_processing_errors(STp-&gt;device)) {
1223                 retval = (-ENXIO);
1224                 goto err_out;
1225         }
...
1264  err_out:
1265         normalize_buffer(STp-&gt;buffer);
1266         spin_lock(&amp;st_use_lock);
1267         STp-&gt;in_use = 0;
1268         spin_unlock(&amp;st_use_lock);
1269         scsi_tape_put(STp); &lt;-- STp-&gt;device = 0 after this
1270         if (resumed)
1271                 scsi_autopm_put_device(STp-&gt;device);
1272         return retval;

The ref count for the struct scsi_tape had already been reduced
to 1 when the .remove method of the st module had been called.
The kref_put() in scsi_tape_put() caused scsi_tape_release()
to be called:

0266 static void scsi_tape_put(struct scsi_tape *STp)
0267 {
0268         struct scsi_device *sdev = STp-&gt;device;
0269
0270         mutex_lock(&amp;st_ref_mutex);
0271         kref_put(&amp;STp-&gt;kref, scsi_tape_release); &lt;-- calls this
0272         scsi_device_put(sdev);
0273         mutex_unlock(&amp;st_ref_mutex);
0274 }

In scsi_tape_release() the struct scsi_device in the struct
scsi_tape gets set to NULL:

4273 static void scsi_tape_release(struct kref *kref)
4274 {
4275         struct scsi_tape *tpnt = to_scsi_tape(kref);
4276         struct gendisk *disk = tpnt-&gt;disk;
4277
4278         tpnt-&gt;device = NULL; &lt;&lt;&lt;---- where the dev is nulled
4279
4280         if (tpnt-&gt;buffer) {
4281                 normalize_buffer(tpnt-&gt;buffer);
4282                 kfree(tpnt-&gt;buffer-&gt;reserved_pages);
4283                 kfree(tpnt-&gt;buffer);
4284         }
4285
4286         disk-&gt;private_data = NULL;
4287         put_disk(disk);
4288         kfree(tpnt);
4289         return;
4290 }

Although the problem was reported on SLES11.3 the problem appears
in linux-next as well.

The crash is fixed by reordering the code so we no longer access
the struct scsi_tape after the kref_put() is done on it in st_open().

commit 45c44b5ff9caa743ed9c2bfd44307c536c9caf1e upstream.

Increase the default init stage change timeout from 15 seconds to 30 seconds.
This resolves issues we have seen with some adapters not transitioning
to the first init stage within 15 seconds, which results in adapter
initialization failures.

256 bytes per sector support has been broken since 2.6.X,
and no-one stepped up to fix this.
So disable support for it.

commit 118c855b5623f3e2e6204f02623d88c09e0c34de upstream.

The 3w-9xxx driver needs to tear down the dma mappings before returning
the command to the midlayer, as there is no guarantee the sglist and
count are valid after that point.  Also remove the dma mapping helpers
which have another inherent race due to the request_id index.

commit 118c855b5623f3e2e6204f02623d88c09e0c34de upstream.

The 3w-9xxx driver needs to tear down the dma mappings before returning
the command to the midlayer, as there is no guarantee the sglist and
count are valid after that point.  Also remove the dma mapping helpers
which have another inherent race due to the request_id index.
