<title>SCSI: scsi_debug: Fix off-by-one bug when unmapping region</title>

commit bc977749e967daa56de1922cf4cb38525631c51c upstream.

Currently it is possible to unmap one more block than user requested to
due to the off-by-one error in unmap_region(). This is probably due to
the fact that the end variable despite its name actually points to the
last block to unmap + 1. However in the condition it is handled as the
last block of the region to unmap.

The bug was not previously spotted probably due to the fact that the
region was not zeroed, which has changed with commit
be1dd78de5686c062bb3103f9e86d444a10ed783. With that commit we were able
to corrupt the ext4 file system on 256M scsi_debug device with LBPRZ
enabled using fstrim.

Since the 'end' semantic is the same in several functions there this
commit just fixes the condition to use the 'end' variable correctly in
that context.

commit 5c1b10ab7f93d24f29b5630286e323d1c5802d5c upstream.

Properly account for I/O in transit before returning from the RESET call.
In the absense of this patch, we could have a situation where the host may
respond to a command that was issued prior to the issuance of the RESET
command at some arbitrary time after responding to the RESET command.
Currently, the host does not do anything with the RESET command.

commit e85c59746957fd6e3595d02cf614370056b5816e upstream.

Dial back the aggressiveness of the controller lockup detection thread.
Currently it will declare the controller to be locked up if it goes
for 10 seconds with no interrupts and no change in the heartbeat
register.  Dial back this to 30 seconds with no heartbeat change, and
also snoop the ioctl path and if a firmware flash command is detected,
dial it back further to 4 minutes until the firmware flash command
completes.  The reason for this is that during the firmware flash
operation, the controller apparently doesn't update the heartbeat
register as frequently as it is supposed to, and we can get a false
positive.

<title>drivers/scsi/atp870u.c: fix bad use of udelay</title>

<id>03f0a11553d06002af53f2d399da6c711e7d3b40</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0f6d93aa9d96cc9022b51bd10d462b03296be146 upstream.

The ACARD driver calls udelay() with a value &gt; 2000, which leads to to
the following compilation error on ARM:

  ERROR: "__bad_udelay" [drivers/scsi/atp870u.ko] undefined!
  make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

This is because udelay is defined on ARM, roughly speaking, as

	#define udelay(n) ((n) &gt; 2000 ? __bad_udelay() : \
		__const_udelay((n) * ((2199023U*HZ)&gt;&gt;11)))

The argument to __const_udelay is the number of jiffies to wait divided
by 4, but this does not work unless the multiplication does not
overflow, and that is what the build error is designed to prevent.  The
intended behavior can be achieved by using mdelay to call udelay
multiple times in a loop.

Don't restart lookup of more stargets in the multi-target case, just
arrange to traverse the list once, on the assumption that new targets

commit 6d70a74ffd616073a68ae0974d98819bfa8e6da6 upstream.

The oem parameter image embedded in the efi variable is at an offset
from the start of the variable.  However, in the failure path we try to
free the 'orom' pointer which is only valid when the paramaters are
being read from the legacy option-rom space.

Since failure to load the oem parameters is unlikely and we keep the
memory around in the success case just defer all de-allocation to devm.

<title>SCSI: hpsa: Use LUN reset instead of target reset</title>

commit 21e89afd325849eb38adccf382df16cc895911f9 upstream.

It turns out Smart Array logical drives do not support target
reset and when the target reset fails, the logical drive will
be taken off line.  Symptoms look like this:

hpsa 0000:03:00.0: Abort request on C1:B0:T0:L0
hpsa 0000:03:00.0: resetting device 1:0:0:0
hpsa 0000:03:00.0: cp ffff880037c56000 is reported invalid (probably means target device no longer present)
hpsa 0000:03:00.0: resetting device failed.
sd 1:0:0:0: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery
sd 1:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to offline device
EXT3-fs error (device sdb1): read_block_bitmap:

LUN reset is supported though, and is what we should be using.
Target reset is also disruptive in shared SAS situations,
for example, an external MSA1210m which does support target
reset attached to Smart Arrays in multiple hosts -- a target
reset from one host is disruptive to other hosts as all LUNs
on the target will be reset and will abort all outstanding i/os
back to all the attached hosts.  So we should use LUN reset,
not target reset.

Tested this with Smart Array logical drives and with tape drives.
Not sure how this bug survived since 2009, except it must be very
rare for a Smart Array to require more than 30s to complete a request.

not target reset.

Tested this with Smart Array logical drives and with tape drives.
Not sure how this bug survived since 2009, except it must be very
rare for a Smart Array to require more than 30s to complete a request.

commit 225c56960fcafeccc2b6304f96cd3f0dbf42a16a upstream.

The length field in the host config packet is only 16-bit long, so
passing it 0x10000 (64K which is our standard PAGE_SIZE) doesn't
work and result in an empty config from the server.

<title>SCSI: scsi: virtio-scsi: Fix address translation failure of HighMem pages used by sg list</title>

commit 27e99ade81368e6fdda3212bff9345177cf9e57a upstream.

When using the commands below to write some data to a virtio-scsi LUN of the
QEMU guest(32-bit) with 1G physical memory(qemu -m 1024), the qemu will crash.

        # sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb  (/dev/sdb is the virtio-scsi LUN.)
        # sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt
        # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/file bs=1M count=1024

In current implementation, sg_set_buf is called to add buffers to sg list which
is put into the virtqueue eventually. But if there are some HighMem pages in
table-&gt;sgl you can not get virtual address by sg_virt. So, sg_virt(sg_elem) may
return NULL value. This will cause QEMU exit when virtqueue_map_sg is called
in QEMU because an invalid GPA is passed by virtqueue.

Two solutions are discussed here:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1207.3/00675.html

Finally, value assignment approach was adopted because:

Value assignment creates a well-formed scatterlist, because the termination
marker in source sg_list has been set in blk_rq_map_sg(). The last entry of the
source sg_list is just copied to the the last entry in destination list.  Note
that, for now, virtio_ring does not care about the form of the scatterlist and
simply processes the first out_num + in_num consecutive elements of the sg[]
array.

I have tested the patch on my workstation. QEMU would not crash any more.
