Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Things were a lot more calm than previously expected. It's primarily
  fixes in various areas, with most of the new functionality centering
  around TCMU backend driver work that Xiubo Li has been driving.

  Here's the summary on the feature side:

   - Make T10-PI verify configurable for emulated (FILEIO + RD) backends
    (Dmitry Monakhov)
   - Allow target-core/TCMU pass-through to use in-kernel SPC-PR logic
    (Bryant Ly + MNC)
   - Add TCMU support for growing ring buffer size (Xiubo Li + MNC)
   - Add TCMU support for global block data pool (Xiubo Li + MNC)

  and on the bug-fix side:

   - Fix COMPARE_AND_WRITE non GOOD status handling for READ phase
    failures (Gary Guo + nab)
   - Fix iscsi-target hang with explicitly changing per NodeACL
    CmdSN number depth with concurrent login driven session
    reinstatement.  (Gary Guo + nab)
   - Fix ibmvscsis fabric driver ABORT task handling (Bryant Ly)
   - Fix target-core/FILEIO zero length handling (Bart Van Assche)

  Also, there was an OOPs introduced with the WRITE_VERIFY changes that
  I ended up reverting at the last minute, because as not unusual Bart
  and I could not agree on the fix in time for -rc1. Since it's specific
  to a conformance test, it's been reverted for now.

  There is a separate patch in the queue to address the underlying
  control CDB write overflow regression in &gt;= v4.3 separate from the
  WRITE_VERIFY revert here, that will be pushed post -rc1"

* 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (30 commits)
  Revert "target: Fix VERIFY and WRITE VERIFY command parsing"
  IB/srpt: Avoid that aborting a command triggers a kernel warning
  IB/srpt: Fix abort handling
  target/fileio: Fix zero-length READ and WRITE handling
  ibmvscsis: Do not send aborted task response

This adds initial PGR support for just TCMU, since tcmu doesn't
have the necessary IT_NEXUS info to process PGR in userspace,
so have those commands be processed in kernel.

HA support is not available yet, we will work on it if this patch
is acceptable.

<title>target: Fix NULL dereference during LUN lookup + active I/O shutdown</title>
<updated>2017-02-27T00:08:44+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Nicholas Bellinger</name>
<email>nab@linux-iscsi.org</email>

<published>2017-02-23T06:06:32+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=bd4e2d2907fa23a11d46217064ecf80470ddae10'/>
<id>bd4e2d2907fa23a11d46217064ecf80470ddae10</id>
<content type='text'>
When transport_clear_lun_ref() is shutting down a se_lun via
configfs with new I/O in-flight, it's possible to trigger a
NULL pointer dereference in transport_lookup_cmd_lun() due
to the fact percpu_ref_get() doesn't do any __PERCPU_REF_DEAD
checking before incrementing lun-&gt;lun_ref.count after
lun-&gt;lun_ref has switched to atomic_t mode.

This results in a NULL pointer dereference as LUN shutdown
code in core_tpg_remove_lun() continues running after the
existing -&gt;release() -&gt; core_tpg_lun_ref_release() callback
completes, and clears the RCU protected se_lun-&gt;lun_se_dev
pointer.

During the OOPs, the state of lun-&gt;lun_ref in the process
which triggered the NULL pointer dereference looks like
the following on v4.1.y stable code:

struct se_lun {
  lun_link_magic = 4294932337,
  lun_status = TRANSPORT_LUN_STATUS_FREE,

  .....

  lun_se_dev = 0x0,
  lun_sep = 0x0,

  .....

  lun_ref = {
    count = {
      counter = 1
    },
    percpu_count_ptr = 3,
    release = 0xffffffffa02fa1e0 &lt;core_tpg_lun_ref_release&gt;,
    confirm_switch = 0x0,
    force_atomic = false,
    rcu = {
      next = 0xffff88154fa1a5d0,
      func = 0xffffffff8137c4c0 &lt;percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu&gt;
    }
  }
}

To address this bug, use percpu_ref_tryget_live() to ensure
once __PERCPU_REF_DEAD is visable on all CPUs and -&gt;lun_ref
has switched to atomic_t, all new I/Os will fail to obtain
a new lun-&gt;lun_ref reference.

Also use an explicit percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm() callback
to block on -&gt;lun_ref_comp to allow the first stage and
associated RCU grace period to complete, and then block on
-&gt;lun_ref_shutdown waiting for the final percpu_ref_put()
to drop the last reference via transport_lun_remove_cmd()
before continuing with core_tpg_remove_lun() shutdown.

<title>target: Don't BUG_ON during NodeACL dynamic -&gt; explicit conversion</title>

<id>391e2a6de9781e4906dd7e0b1cc097050bf43e11</id>
<content type='text'>
After the v4.2+ RCU conversion to se_node_acl-&gt;lun_entry_hlist,
a BUG_ON() was added in core_enable_device_list_for_node() to
detect when the located orig-&gt;se_lun_acl contains an existing
se_lun_acl pointer reference.

However, this scenario can happen when a dynamically generated
NodeACL is being converted to an explicit NodeACL, when the
explicit NodeACL contains a different LUN mapping than the
default provided by the WWN endpoint.

So instead of triggering BUG_ON(), go ahead and fail instead
following the original pre RCU conversion logic.

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.

se_dev_entry.lun_flags and se_lun.lun_access are only used for keeping
track of read-write vs. read-only state. Since this is an either/or thing
we can represent it as bool, and remove the unneeded enum
transport_lunflags_table, which is left over from when there were more
flags.

Change code that uses this enum to just use true/false, and make it clear
through variable and param names that true means read-only, false means
read-write.

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

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.
