commit ea263c7fada4af8ec7fe5fcfd6e7d7705a89351b upstream.

max_discard_sectors only 32bits, and some non scsi backend
devices will set this to the max 0xffffffff, so we can end up
overflowing during the max_unmap_lba_count calculation.

This fixes a regression caused by my patch:

Author: Mike Christie &lt;mchristi@redhat.com&gt;
Date:   Mon Jan 18 14:09:27 2016 -0600

    target: Fix WRITE_SAME/DISCARD conversion to linux 512b sectors

which can result in extra discards being sent to due the overflow
causing max_unmap_lba_count to be smaller than what the backing
device can actually support.

commit 8a9ebe717a133ba7bc90b06047f43cc6b8bcb8b3 upstream.

In a couple places we are not converting to/from the Linux
block layer 512 bytes sectors.

1.

The request queue values and what we do are a mismatch of
things:

max_discard_sectors - This is in linux block layer 512 byte
sectors. We are just copying this to max_unmap_lba_count.

discard_granularity - This is in bytes. We are converting it
to Linux block layer 512 byte sectors.

discard_alignment - This is in bytes. We are just copying
this over.

The problem is that the core LIO code exports these values in
spc_emulate_evpd_b0 and we use them to test request arguments
in sbc_execute_unmap, but we never convert to the block size
we export to the initiator. If we are not using 512 byte sectors
then we are exporting the wrong values or are checks are off.
And, for the discard_alignment/bytes case we are just plain messed
up.

2.

blkdev_issue_discard's start and number of sector arguments
are supposed to be in linux block layer 512 byte sectors. We are
currently passing in the values we get from the initiator which
might be based on some other sector size.

There is a similar problem in iblock_execute_write_same where
the bio functions want values in 512 byte sectors but we are
passing in what we got from the initiator.

commit 5f7da044f8bc1cfb21c962edf34bd5699a76e7ae upstream.

This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference triggered by a late
target_configure_device() -&gt; alloc_workqueue() failure that results
in target_free_device() being called with DF_CONFIGURED already set,
which subsequently OOPses in destroy_workqueue() code.

Currently this only happens at modprobe target_core_mod time when
core_dev_setup_virtual_lun0() -&gt; target_configure_device() fails,
and the explicit target_free_device() gets called.

To address this bug originally introduced by commit 0fd97ccf45, go
ahead and move DF_CONFIGURED to end of target_configure_device()
code to handle this special failure case.

<title>target: Drop arbitrary maximum I/O size limit</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 046ba64285a4389ae5e9a7dfa253c6bff3d7c341 upstream.

This patch drops the arbitrary maximum I/O size limit in sbc_parse_cdb(),
which currently for fabric_max_sectors is hardcoded to 8192 (4 MB for 512
byte sector devices), and for hw_max_sectors is a backend driver dependent
value.

This limit is problematic because Linux initiators have only recently
started to honor block limits MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH, and other non-Linux
based initiators (eg: MSFT Fibre Channel) can also generate I/Os larger
than 4 MB in size.

Currently when this happens, the following message will appear on the
target resulting in I/Os being returned with non recoverable status:

  SCSI OP 28h with too big sectors 16384 exceeds fabric_max_sectors: 8192

Instead, drop both [fabric,hw]_max_sector checks in sbc_parse_cdb(),
and convert the existing hw_max_sectors into a purely informational
attribute used to represent the granuality that backend driver and/or
subsystem code is splitting I/Os upon.

Also, update FILEIO with an explicit FD_MAX_BYTES check in fd_execute_rw()
to deal with the one special iovec limitiation case.

v2 changes:
  - Drop hw_max_sectors check in sbc_parse_cdb()

commit e24805637d2d270d7975502e9024d473de86afdb upstream.

This patch fixes a bug in handling of SPC-3 PR Activate Persistence
across Target Power Loss (APTPL) logic where re-creation of state for
MappedLUNs from dynamically generated NodeACLs did not occur during
I_T Nexus establishment.

It adds the missing core_scsi3_check_aptpl_registration() call during
core_tpg_check_initiator_node_acl() -&gt; core_tpg_add_node_to_devs() in
order to replay any pre-loaded APTPL metadata state associated with
the newly connected SCSI Initiator Port.

This patch fixes a left-over se_lun-&gt;lun_sep pointer OOPs when one
of the /sys/kernel/config/target/$FABRIC/$WWPN/$TPGT/lun/$LUN/alua*
attributes is accessed after the $DEVICE symlink has been removed.

To address this bug, go ahead and clear se_lun-&gt;lun_sep memory in
core_dev_unexport(), so that the existing checks for show/store
ALUA attributes in target_core_fabric_configfs.c work as expected.

Just like for pSCSI, if the transport sets get_write_cache, then it is
not valid to enable write cache emulation for it. Return an error.

Userspace tools assume if a value is read from configfs, it is valid
and will not cause an error if the same value is written back. The only
valid value for pi_prot_type for backends not supporting DIF is 0, so allow
this particular value to be set without returning an error.
