[ Upstream commit 179d8609d8424529e95021df939ed7b0b82b37f1 ]

For block devices, the SCSI target drivers implements UNMAP as calls to
blkdev_issue_discard, which does not guarantee zeroing just because
Write Zeroes is supported.

Note that this does not affect the file backed path which uses
fallocate to punch holes.

<title>scsi: target: tcmu: Avoid holding XArray lock when calling lock_page</title>

[ Upstream commit 325d5c5fb216674296f3902a8902b942da3adc5b ]

In tcmu_blocks_release(), lock_page() is called to prevent a race causing
possible data corruption. Since lock_page() might sleep, calling it while
holding XArray lock is a bug.

To fix this, replace the xas_for_each() call with xa_for_each_range().
Since the latter does its own handling of XArray locking, the xas_lock()
and xas_unlock() calls around the original loop are no longer necessary.

The switch to xa_for_each_range() slows down the loop slightly. This is
acceptable since tcmu_blocks_release() is not relevant for performance.

[ Upstream commit bb9b9eb0ae2e9d3f6036f0ad907c3a83dcd43485 ]

When tcmu_vma_fault() gets a page successfully, before the current context
completes page fault procedure, find_free_blocks() may run and call
unmap_mapping_range() to unmap the page. Assume that when
find_free_blocks() initially completes and the previous page fault
procedure starts to run again and completes, then one truncated page has
been mapped to userspace. But note that tcmu_vma_fault() has gotten a
refcount for the page so any other subsystem won't be able to use the page
unless the userspace address is unmapped later.

If another command subsequently runs and needs to extend dbi_thresh it may
reuse the corresponding slot for the previous page in data_bitmap. Then
though we'll allocate new page for this slot in data_area, no page fault
will happen because we have a valid map and the real request's data will be
lost.

Filesystem implementations will also run into this issue but they usually
lock the page when vm_operations_struct-&gt;fault gets a page and unlock the
page after finish_fault() completes. For truncate filesystems lock pages in
truncate_inode_pages() to protect against racing wrt. page faults.

To fix this possible data corruption scenario we can apply a method similar
to the filesystems.  For pages that are to be freed, tcmu_blocks_release()
locks and unlocks. Make tcmu_vma_fault() also lock found page under
cmdr_lock. At the same time, since tcmu_vma_fault() gets an extra page
refcount, tcmu_blocks_release() won't free pages if pages are in page fault
procedure, which means it is safe to call tcmu_blocks_release() before
unmap_mapping_range().

With these changes tcmu_blocks_release() will wait for all page faults to
be completed before calling unmap_mapping_range(). And later, if
unmap_mapping_range() is called, it will ensure stale mappings are removed.

<title>scsi: target: Fix incorrect use of cpumask_t</title>

In commit d72d827f2f26, I used 'cpumask_t' incorrectly:

    void iscsit_thread_get_cpumask(struct iscsi_conn *conn)
    {
            int ord, cpu;
            cpumask_t conn_allowed_cpumask;
            ......
    }

    static ssize_t lio_target_wwn_cpus_allowed_list_store(
                   struct config_item *item, const char *page, size_t count)
    {
            int ret;
            char *orig;
            cpumask_t new_allowed_cpumask;
            ......
    }

The correct pattern should be as follows:

    cpumask_var_t mask;

    if (!zalloc_cpumask_var(&amp;mask, GFP_KERNEL))
            return -ENOMEM;
    ... use 'mask' here ...
    free_cpumask_var(mask);

<title>scsi: target: pscsi: Set SCF_TREAT_READ_AS_NORMAL flag only if there is valid data</title>

<content type='text'>
With tape devices, the SCF_TREAT_READ_AS_NORMAL flag is used by the target
subsystem to mark commands which have both data to return as well as sense
data. But with pscsi, SCF_TREAT_READ_AS_NORMAL can be set even if there is
no data to return. The SCF_TREAT_READ_AS_NORMAL flag causes the target core
to call iscsit data-in callbacks even if there is no data, which iscsit
does not support. This results in iscsit going into an error state
requiring recovery and being unable to complete the command to the
initiator.

This issue can be resolved by fixing pscsi to only set
SCF_TREAT_READ_AS_NORMAL if there is valid data to return alongside the
sense data.

tcmu_try_get_data_page() looks up pages under cmdr_lock, but it does not
take refcount properly and just returns page pointer. When
tcmu_try_get_data_page() returns, the returned page may have been freed by
tcmu_blocks_release().

We need to get_page() under cmdr_lock to avoid concurrent
tcmu_blocks_release().

 "This series consists of the usual driver updates (qla2xxx, pm8001,
  libsas, smartpqi, scsi_debug, lpfc, iscsi, mpi3mr) plus minor updates
  and bug fixes.

  The high blast radius core update is the removal of write same, which
  affects block and several non-SCSI devices. The other big change,
  which is more local, is the removal of the SCSI pointer"

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This series consists of the usual driver updates (qla2xxx, pm8001,
  libsas, smartpqi, scsi_debug, lpfc, iscsi, mpi3mr) plus minor updates
  and bug fixes.

  The high blast radius core update is the removal of write same, which
  affects block and several non-SCSI devices. The other big change,
  which is more local, is the removal of the SCSI pointer"

<title>scsi: target: Add iscsi/cpus_allowed_list in configfs</title>

The RX/TX threads for iSCSI connection can be scheduled to any online CPUs,
and will not be rescheduled.

When binding other heavy load threads along with iSCSI connection RX/TX
thread to the same CPU, the iSCSI performance will be worse.

Add iscsi/cpus_allowed_list in configfs. The available CPU set of iSCSI
connection RX/TX threads is allowed_cpus &amp; online_cpus. If it is modified,
all RX/TX threads will be rescheduled.

Let submitters initialize the scmd-&gt;allowed field directly instead of
indirecting through struct scsi_request and remove the now superfluous
structure.
