Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
 "This is a set of six fixes.  Two are instant crash/null deref types
  (storvsc and isci).  The two qla2xxx are initialisation problems that
  cause MSI-X failures and card misdetection, the isci erroneous macro
  is actually illegal C that's causing a miscompile with certain gcc
  versions and the be2iscsi bad if expression is a static checker fix"

If the initialization of storvsc fails, the storvsc_device_destroy()
causes NULL pointer dereference.

<id>c59053a23d586675c25d789a7494adfdc02fba57</id>
<content type='text'>
In the first place, the loop 'for' in the macro 'for_each_isci_host'
(drivers/scsi/isci/host.h:314) is incorrect, because it accesses
the 3rd element of 2 element array. After the 2nd iteration it executes
the instruction:
        ihost = to_pci_info(pdev)-&gt;hosts[2]
(while the size of the 'hosts' array equals 2) and reads an
out of range element.

In the second place, this loop is incorrectly optimized by GCC v4.8
(see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&amp;m=138998871911336&amp;w=2).
As a result, on platforms with two SCU controllers,
the loop is executed more times than it can be (for i=0,1 and 2).
It causes kernel panic during entering the S3 state
and the following oops after 'rmmod isci':

Remove an erroneous BUG_ON() in the case of a hard reset timeout.  The
reset timeout handler puts the port into the "awaiting link-up" state.
The timeout causes the device to be disconnected and we need to be in
the awaiting link-up state to re-connect the port.  The BUG_ON() made
the incorrect assumption that resets never timeout and we always
complete the reset in the "resetting" state.

Testing this patch also uncovered that libata continues to attempt to
reset the port long after the driver has torn down the context.  Once
the driver has committed to abandoning the link it must indicate to
libata that recovery ends by returning -ENODEV from
-&gt;lldd_I_T_nexus_reset().

This fixes requesting of the MSI-X vectors for the base response queue.
The iteration in the for loop in qla24xx_enable_msix() was incorrect.
We should only iterate of the first two MSI-X vectors and not the total
number of MSI-X vectors that have given to the driver for this device
from pci_enable_msix() in this function.

A selective retransmission request (SRR) is a fibre-channel
protocol control request which provides support for requesting
retransmission of a data sequence in response to an issue such as
frame loss or corruption.  These events are experienced
infrequently in fibre-channel based networks which makes
it difficult to test and assess codepaths which handle these
events.

We were fortunate enough, for some definition of fortunate, to
have a metro-area single-mode SAN link which, at 10 GBPS
sustained load levels, would consistently generate SRR's in
a SCST based target implementation using our SCST/in-kernel
Qlogic target interface driver.  In response to an SRR the
in-kernel Qlogic target driver immediately panics resulting
in a catastrophic storage failure for serviced initiators.

The culprit was a debug statement in the qla_target.c file which
does not verify that a pointer to the SCSI CDB is not null.
The unchecked pointer dereference results in the kernel panic
and resultant system failure.

The other two references to the SCSI CDB by the SRR handling code
use a ternary operator to verify a non-null pointer is being
acted on.  This patch simply adds a similar test to the implicated
debug statement.

This patch is a candidate for any stable kernel being maintained
since it addresses a potentially catastrophic event with
minimal downside.
