commit e6965188f84a7883e6a0d3448e86b0cf29b24dfc upstream.

If the allocation of tl_hba-&gt;sh fails in tcm_loop_driver_probe() and we
attempt to dereference it in tcm_loop_tpg_address_show() we will get a
segfault, see below for an example. So, check tl_hba-&gt;sh before
dereferencing it.

[ Upstream commit bc68e428d4963af0201e92159629ab96948f0893 ]

If device_register() fails in tcm_loop_setup_hba_bus(), the name allocated
by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment of device_register() says, it
should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. So fix
this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
The 'tl_hba' will be freed in tcm_loop_release_adapter(), so it don't need
goto error label in this case.

<title>scsi: target: loopback: Fix READ with data and sensebytes</title>

[ Upstream commit c68a56736c129f5dd1632856956f9c3e04bae200 ]

We use tcm_loop with tape emulations running on tcmu.

In case application reads a short tape block with a longer READ, or a long
tape block with a short READ, according to SCC spec data has to be
tranferred _and_ sensebytes with ILI set and information field containing
the residual count. Similar problem also exists when using fixed block
size in READ.

Up to now tcm_loop is not prepared to handle sensebytes if input data is
provided, as in tcm_loop_queue_data_in() it only sets SAM_STAT_GOOD and, if
necessary, the residual count.

To fix the bug, the same handling for sensebytes as present in
tcm_loop_queue_status() must be done in tcm_loop_queue_data_in() also.

After adding this handling, the two function now are nearly identical, so I
created a single function with two wrappers.

Due to the patch that makes TMF handling synchronous the

it.

The same effects can be achieved by setting the dma_boundary to
PAGE_SIZE - 1 and the max_segment_size to PAGE_SIZE, so shift those
settings into the drivers.  Note that in many cases the setting might
be bogus, but this keeps the status quo.

All fabrics return a const string. In all cases *except* iSCSI the
get_fabric_name() string matches fabric_ops.name.

Both fabric_ops.get_fabric_name() and fabric_ops.name are user-facing, with
the former being used for PR/ALUA state and the latter for ConfigFS
(config/target/$name), so we unfortunately need to keep both strings around
for now.  Replace the useless .get_fabric_name() accessor function with a
const string fabric_name member variable.

This converts drivers that were only calling transport_deregister_session
to use target_remove_session. The calling of
transport_deregister_session_configfs via target_remove_session for these
types of drivers is ok, because they were not exporting info from fields
like sess_acl_list, sess-&gt;se_tpg and sess-&gt;fabric_sess_ptr from configfs
accessible functions, so they will see no difference.

Rename target_alloc_session to target_setup_session to avoid confusion with
the other transport session allocation function that only allocates the
session and because the target_alloc_session does so much more. It
allocates the session, sets up the nacl and registers the session.

The next patch will then add a remove function to match the setup in this
one, so it should make sense for all drivers, except iscsi, to just call
those 2 functions to setup and remove a session.

iscsi will continue to be the odd driver.
