Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Here are the target updates for v3.18-rc2 code.  These where
  originally destined for -rc1, but due to the combination of travel
  last week for KVM Forum and my mistake of taking the three week merge
  window literally, the pull request slipped..  Apologies for that.

  Things where reasonably quiet this round.  The highlights include:

   - New userspace backend driver (target_core_user.ko) by Shaohua Li
     and Andy Grover
   - A number of cleanups in target, iscsi-taret and qla_target code
     from Joern Engel
   - Fix an OOPs related to queue full handling with CHECK_CONDITION
     status from Quinn Tran
   - Fix to disable TX completion interrupt coalescing in iser-target,
     that was causing problems on some hardware
   - Fix for PR APTPL metadata handling with demo-mode ACLs

  I'm most excited about the new backend driver that uses UIO + shared
  memory ring to dispatch I/O and control commands into user-space.
  This was probably the most requested feature by users over the last
  couple of years, and opens up a new area of development + porting of
  existing user-space storage applications to LIO.  Thanks to Shaohua +
  Andy for making this happen.

  Also another honorable mention, a new Xen PV SCSI driver was merged
  via the xen/tip.git tree recently, which puts us now at 10 target
  drivers in upstream! Thanks to David Vrabel + Juergen Gross for their
  work to get this code merged"

* 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (40 commits)
  target/file: fix inclusive vfs_fsync_range() end
  iser-target: Disable TX completion interrupt coalescing
  target: Add force_pr_aptpl device attribute
  target: Fix APTPL metadata handling for dynamic MappedLUNs
  qla_target: don't delete changed nacls
  target/user: Recalculate pad size inside is_ring_space_avail()
  tcm_loop: Fixup tag handling
  iser-target: Fix smatch warning
  target/user: Fix up smatch warnings in tcmu_netlink_event
  target: Add a user-passthrough backstore
  target: Add documentation on the target userspace pass-through driver
  uio: Export definition of struct uio_device
  target: Remove unneeded check in sbc_parse_cdb
  target: Fix queue full status NULL pointer for SCF_TRANSPORT_TASK_SENSE
  qla_target: rearrange struct qla_tgt_prm
  qla_target: improve qlt_unmap_sg()
  qla_target: make some global functions static
  qla_target: remove unused parameter
  target: simplify core_tmr_abort_task

<title>ib_srpt: replace strnicmp with strncasecmp</title>

<id>b60459f080bf3a1fcc6f55cfb628d1d79423b6ff</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and
a slightly buggy strncasecmp.  The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp
was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new
strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.

To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the
future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

<id>78eda2bb6542057b214af3bc1cae09c63e65d1d1</id>
<content type='text'>
Expose more signature setting parameters. We modify the signature API
to allow usage of some new execution parameters relevant to data
integrity feature.

This patch modifies ib_sig_domain structure by:

- Deprecate DIF type in signature API (operation will
  be determined by the parameters alone, no DIF type awareness)
- Add APPTAG check bitmask (for input domain)
- Add REFTAG remap (increment) flag for each domain
- Add APPTAG/REFTAG escape options for each domain

The mlx5 driver is modified to follow the new parameters in HW
signature setup.

At the moment the callers (iser/isert) hard-code new parameters (by
DIF type). In the future, callers will retrieve them from the scsi
command structure.

In the future this will be a per-command parameter so we can lose it,
but in the mean time IP_CSUM is a lot lighter for SW layers to
compute, set it as default.
