commit 1c21a48055a67ceb693e9c2587824a8de60a217c upstream.

This patch fixes bug where early se_cmd exceptions that occur
before backend execution can result in use-after-free if/when
a subsequent ABORT_TASK occurs for the same tag.

Since an early se_cmd exception will have had se_cmd added to
se_session-&gt;sess_cmd_list via target_get_sess_cmd(), it will
not have CMD_T_COMPLETE set by the usual target_complete_cmd()
backend completion path.

This causes a subsequent ABORT_TASK + __target_check_io_state()
to signal ABORT_TASK should proceed.  As core_tmr_abort_task()
executes, it will bring the outstanding se_cmd-&gt;cmd_kref count
down to zero releasing se_cmd, after se_cmd has already been
queued with error status into fabric driver response path code.

To address this bug, introduce a CMD_T_PRE_EXECUTE bit that is
set at target_get_sess_cmd() time, and cleared immediately before
backend driver dispatch in target_execute_cmd() once CMD_T_ACTIVE
is set.

Then, check CMD_T_PRE_EXECUTE within __target_check_io_state() to
determine when an early exception has occured, and avoid aborting
this se_cmd since it will have already been queued into fabric
driver response path code.

commit 9574a497df2bbc0a676b609ce0dd24d237cee3a6 upstream.

This patch fixes a potential end-less loop during QUEUE_FULL,
where cmd-&gt;se_tfo-&gt;write_pending() callback fails repeatedly
but __transport_wait_for_tasks() has already been invoked to
quiese the outstanding se_cmd descriptor.

To address this bug, this patch adds a CMD_T_STOP|CMD_T_ABORTED
check within transport_write_pending_qf() and invokes the
existing se_cmd-&gt;t_transport_stop_comp to signal quiese
completion back to __transport_wait_for_tasks().

commit fd2f928b0ddd2fe8876d4f1344df2ace2b715a4d upstream.

With the recent addition of transport_check_aborted_status() within
transport_generic_request_failure() to avoid sending a SCSI status
exception after CMD_T_ABORTED w/ TAS=1 has occured, it introduced
a COMPARE_AND_WRITE early failure regression.

Namely when COMPARE_AND_WRITE fails and se_device-&gt;caw_sem has
been taken by sbc_compare_and_write(), if the new check for
transport_check_aborted_status() returns true and exits,
cmd-&gt;transport_complete_callback() -&gt; compare_and_write_post()
is skipped never releasing se_device-&gt;caw_sem.

This regression was originally introduced by:

      target: Fix handling of aborted failed commands

To address this bug, move the transport_check_aborted_status()
call after transport_complete_task_attr() and
cmd-&gt;transport_complete_callback().

commit 1c79df1f349fb6050016cea4ef1dfbc3853a5685 upstream.

This patch fixes a bug during QUEUE_FULL where transport_complete_qf()
calls transport_complete_task_attr() after it's already been invoked
by target_complete_ok_work() or transport_generic_request_failure()
during initial completion, preceeding QUEUE_FULL.

This will result in se_device-&gt;simple_cmds, se_device-&gt;dev_cur_ordered_id
and/or se_device-&gt;dev_ordered_sync being updated multiple times for
a single se_cmd.

To address this bug, clear SCF_TASK_ATTR_SET after the first call
to transport_complete_task_attr(), and avoid updating SCSI task
attribute related counters for any subsequent calls.

Also, when a se_cmd is deferred due to ordered tags and executed
via target_restart_delayed_cmds(), set CMD_T_SENT before execution
matching what target_execute_cmd() does.

commit c58a252beb04cf0e02d6a746b2ed7ea89b6deb71 upstream.

When at least two initiators register pr on the same LUN,
the target returns the exception data due to buffer offset
error, therefore the initiator executes command 'sg_persist -s'
may cause the initiator to appear segfault error.

This fixes a regression originally introduced by:

This patch fixes a se_cmd-&gt;cmd_kref reference leak that can
occur when a non immediate TMR is proceeded our of command

To address this bug, call target_put_sess_cmd() during this
special case following what iscsit_process_scsi_cmd() does
upon CMDSN_LOWER_THAN_EXP.

<title>iscsi-target: Make TASK_REASSIGN use proper se_cmd-&gt;cmd_kref</title>

commit ae072726f6109bb1c94841d6fb3a82dde298ea85 upstream.

Since commit 59b6986dbf fixed a potential NULL pointer dereference
by allocating a se_tmr_req for ISCSI_TM_FUNC_TASK_REASSIGN, the
se_tmr_req is currently leaked by iscsit_free_cmd() because no
iscsi_cmd-&gt;se_cmd.se_tfo was associated.

To address this, treat ISCSI_TM_FUNC_TASK_REASSIGN like any other
TMR and call transport_init_se_cmd() + target_get_sess_cmd() to
setup iscsi_cmd-&gt;se_cmd.se_tfo with se_cmd-&gt;cmd_kref of 2.

This will ensure normal release operation once se_cmd-&gt;cmd_kref
reaches zero and target_release_cmd_kref() is invoked, se_tmr_req
will be released via existing target_free_cmd_mem() and
core_tmr_release_req() code.

commit ae072726f6109bb1c94841d6fb3a82dde298ea85 upstream.

Since commit 59b6986dbf fixed a potential NULL pointer dereference
by allocating a se_tmr_req for ISCSI_TM_FUNC_TASK_REASSIGN, the
se_tmr_req is currently leaked by iscsit_free_cmd() because no
iscsi_cmd-&gt;se_cmd.se_tfo was associated.

To address this, treat ISCSI_TM_FUNC_TASK_REASSIGN like any other
TMR and call transport_init_se_cmd() + target_get_sess_cmd() to
setup iscsi_cmd-&gt;se_cmd.se_tfo with se_cmd-&gt;cmd_kref of 2.

This will ensure normal release operation once se_cmd-&gt;cmd_kref
reaches zero and target_release_cmd_kref() is invoked, se_tmr_req
will be released via existing target_free_cmd_mem() and
core_tmr_release_req() code.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
