commit 2137490f2147a8d0799b72b9a1023efb012d40c7 upstream.

This patch fixes issue reported by some of the customers, who discovered
that after cable pull scenario the devices disappear and path seems to
remain in blocked state. Once the device reappears, driver does not seem to
update path to online. This issue appears because of the defer flag
creating race condition where the same session reappears.  This patch fixes
this issue by indicating SCSI-ML of device lost when
qlt_free_session_done() is called from qlt_unreg_sess().

commit ffc81fc07efc94a04695a8c1d458a06aecaf9f30 upstream.

This patch sets remote_port_devloss value to 0. This indicates to FC-NVMe
transport that driver is unloading and transport should not retry.

<title>scsi: lpfc: change snprintf to scnprintf for possible overflow</title>

<content type='text'>
commit e7f7b6f38a44697428f5a2e7c606de028df2b0e3 upstream.

Change snprintf to scnprintf. There are generally two cases where using
snprintf causes problems.

1) Uses of size += snprintf(buf, SIZE - size, fmt, ...)
In this case, if snprintf would have written more characters than what the
buffer size (SIZE) is, then size will end up larger than SIZE. In later
uses of snprintf, SIZE - size will result in a negative number, leading
to problems. Note that size might already be too large by using
size = snprintf before the code reaches a case of size += snprintf.

2) If size is ultimately used as a length parameter for a copy back to user
space, then it will potentially allow for a buffer overflow and information
disclosure when size is greater than SIZE. When the size is used to index
the buffer directly, we can have memory corruption. This also means when
size = snprintf... is used, it may also cause problems since size may become
large.  Copying to userspace is mitigated by the HARDENED_USERCOPY kernel
configuration.

The solution to these issues is to use scnprintf which returns the number of
characters actually written to the buffer, so the size variable will never
exceed SIZE.

Instead of relying on the now removed NULL argument to
pci_alloc_consistent, switch to the generic DMA API, and store the struct

When SCSI blk-mq is enabled, there is a bug in handling errors in
scsi_queue_rq.  Specifically, the bug is not setting result field of
scsi_request correctly when the dispatch of the command has been
failed. Since the upper layer code including the sg_io ioctl expects to
receive any error status from result field of scsi_request, the error is
silently ignored and this could cause data corruptions for some
applications.

When tag_set-&gt;nr_maps is 1, the block layer limits the number of hw queues
by nr_cpu_ids. No matter how many hw queues are used by virtio-scsi, as it
has (tag_set-&gt;nr_maps == 1), it can use at most nr_cpu_ids hw queues.

In addition, specifically for pci scenario, when the 'num_queues' specified
by qemu is more than maxcpus, virtio-scsi would not be able to allocate
more than maxcpus vectors in order to have a vector for each queue. As a
result, it falls back into MSI-X with one vector for config and one shared
for queues.

Considering above reasons, this patch limits the number of hw queues used
by virtio-scsi by nr_cpu_ids.
