commit 27e06650a5eafe832a90fd2604f0c5e920857fae upstream.

A buffer overflow arises from the usage of snprintf to write into the
buffer "buf" in target_lu_gp_members_show function located in
/drivers/target/target_core_configfs.c. This buffer is allocated with
size LU_GROUP_NAME_BUF (256 bytes).

snprintf(...) formats multiple strings into buf with the HBA name
(hba-&gt;hba_group.cg_item), a slash character, a devicename (dev-&gt;
dev_group.cg_item) and a newline character, the total formatted string
length may exceed the buffer size of 256 bytes.

Since snprintf() returns the total number of bytes that would have been
written (the length of %s/%sn ), this value may exceed the buffer length
(256 bytes) passed to memcpy(), this will ultimately cause function
memcpy reporting a buffer overflow error.

An additional check of the return value of snprintf() can avoid this
buffer overflow.

[ Upstream commit 6e0f6aa44b68335df404a2df955055f416b5f2aa ]

Fix target_parse_pr_out_transport_id() to return a string representing
the transport ID in a human-readable format (e.g., naa.xxxxxxxx...)  for
various SCSI protocol types (SAS, FCP, SRP, SBP).

Previously, the function returned a pointer to the raw binary buffer,
which was incorrectly compared against human-readable strings, causing
comparisons to fail.  Now, the function writes a properly formatted
string into a buffer provided by the caller.  The output format depends
on the transport protocol:

* SAS: 64-bit identifier, "naa." prefix.
* FCP: 64-bit identifier, colon separated values.
* SBP: 64-bit identifier, no prefix.
* SRP: 128-bit identifier, "0x" prefix.
* iSCSI: IQN string.

<title>scsi: target: Fix NULL pointer dereference in core_scsi3_decode_spec_i_port()</title>

The function core_scsi3_decode_spec_i_port(), in its error code path,
unconditionally calls core_scsi3_lunacl_undepend_item() passing the
dest_se_deve pointer, which may be NULL.

This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference if dest_se_deve remains
unset.

Mike Christie &lt;michael.christie@oracle.com&gt; says:

The following patches made over Linus's tree remove the atomic use from
the main IO path. There was a handful of atomic_longs used just used
for stats and a couple atomics used for handling ordered commands. These
patches move the stats to per cpu, and moves the ordered tracking to a
per cpu counter.

With the patches 8K IOPS increases by up to 33% when running fio
with numjobs &gt;= 4 and using the vhost-scsi target with virtio-scsi
and virtio num_queues &gt;= 4 (jobs and queues match, and virtqueue_size
and cmd_per_lun are increased to match the total iodepth of all
jobs).

Mike Christie &lt;michael.christie@oracle.com&gt; says:

The following patches made over Linus's tree remove the atomic use from
the main IO path. There was a handful of atomic_longs used just used
for stats and a couple atomics used for handling ordered commands. These
patches move the stats to per cpu, and moves the ordered tracking to a
per cpu counter.

The atomic use from the delayed/ordered tracking is causing perf issues
when using higher perf backend devices and multiple queues.  This moves
the values to a per CPU counter. Combined with the per CPU stats patch,
this improves IOPS by up to 33% for 8K IOS when using 4 or more queues
from the initiator.
