Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Lots of activity in target land the last months.

  The highlights include:

   - Convert fabric drivers tree-wide to target_register_template() (hch
     + bart)

   - iser-target hardening fixes + v1.0 improvements (sagi)

   - Convert iscsi_thread_set usage to kthread.h + kill
     iscsi_target_tq.c (sagi + nab)

   - Add support for T10-PI WRITE_STRIP + READ_INSERT operation (mkp +

   - Extended TCMU ABI v2 for future BIDI + DIF support (andy + ilias)

   - Fix COMPARE_AND_WRITE handling for NO_ALLLOC drivers (hch + nab)

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Fix verifier memory corruption and other bugs in BPF layer, from
    Alexei Starovoitov.

 2) Add a conservative fix for doing BPF properly in the BPF classifier
    of the packet scheduler on ingress.  Also from Alexei.

 3) The SKB scrubber should not clear out the packet MARK and security
    label, from Herbert Xu.

 4) Fix oops on rmmod in stmmac driver, from Bryan O'Donoghue.

 5) Pause handling is not correct in the stmmac driver because it
    doesn't take into consideration the RX and TX fifo sizes.  From
    Vince Bridgers.

 6) Failure path missing unlock in FOU driver, from Wang Cong.

Currently, iflink of the parent interface was always accessed, even
when interface didn't have a parent and hence we crashed there.

Handle the interface types properly: for a child interface, return
the ifindex of the parent, for parent interface, return its ifindex.

For child devices, make sure to set the parent pointer prior to
invoking register_netdevice(), this allows the new ndo to be called
by the stack immediately after the child device is registered.

<title>cxgb4: drop __GFP_NOFAIL allocation</title>

set_filter_wr is requesting __GFP_NOFAIL allocation although it can return
ENOMEM without any problems obviously (t4_l2t_set_switching does that
already).  So the non-failing requirement is too strong without any
obvious reason.  Drop __GFP_NOFAIL and reorganize the code to have the
failure paths easier.

The same applies to _c4iw_write_mem_dma_aligned which uses __GFP_NOFAIL
and then checks the return value and returns -ENOMEM on failure.  This
doesn't make any sense what so ever.  Either the allocation cannot fail or
it can.

del_filter_wr seems to be safe as well because the filter entry is not
marked as pending and the return value is propagated up the stack up to
c4iw_destroy_listen.

In some rare cases, IO operations may be not aligned to page
boundaries. This prevents iser from performing fast memory
registration. In order to overcome that iser uses a bounce
buffer to carry the transaction. We basically allocate a buffer
in the size of the transaction and perform a copy.

The buffer allocation using kmalloc is too restrictive since it
requires higher order (atomic) allocations for large transactions
(which may result in memory exhaustion fairly fast for some workloads).
We rewrite the bounce buffer code path to allocate scattered pages
and perform a copy between the transaction sg and the bounce sg.

In singleton scatterlists, DMA memory registration code
is taken both for Fastreg and FMR code paths. Move it to
a function.

This patch does not change any functionality.
