Commit 1e6f2416044c0 changed the scsi sysfs 'queue_depth' code to
rejects depths higher than the scsi host template setting. But lots
of hosts set this to 1, and update the settings in the scsi host
when the controller/devices probing happens.

This breaks (at least) mpt2sas and mpt3sas runtime setting of queue
depth, returning EINVAL for all settings but '1'. And once it's set to
1, there's no way to go back up.

CR2: 00000000000002a8

Analysis reveals the cause of the crash to be due to STp-&gt;device
being NULL. The pointer was NULLed via scsi_tape_put(STp) when it
calls scsi_tape_release(). In st_open() we jump to err_out after
scsi_block_when_processing_errors() completes and returns the
device as offline (sdev_state was SDEV_DEL):

1180 /* Open the device. Needs to take the BKL only because of incrementing the SCSI host
1181    module count. */
1182 static int st_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
1183 {
1184         int i, retval = (-EIO);
1185         int resumed = 0;
1186         struct scsi_tape *STp;
1187         struct st_partstat *STps;
1188         int dev = TAPE_NR(inode);
1189         char *name;
...
1217         if (scsi_autopm_get_device(STp-&gt;device) &lt; 0) {
1218                 retval = -EIO;
1219                 goto err_out;
1220         }
1221         resumed = 1;
1222         if (!scsi_block_when_processing_errors(STp-&gt;device)) {
1223                 retval = (-ENXIO);
1224                 goto err_out;
1225         }
...
1264  err_out:
1265         normalize_buffer(STp-&gt;buffer);
1266         spin_lock(&amp;st_use_lock);
1267         STp-&gt;in_use = 0;
1268         spin_unlock(&amp;st_use_lock);
1269         scsi_tape_put(STp); &lt;-- STp-&gt;device = 0 after this
1270         if (resumed)
1271                 scsi_autopm_put_device(STp-&gt;device);
1272         return retval;

The ref count for the struct scsi_tape had already been reduced
to 1 when the .remove method of the st module had been called.
The kref_put() in scsi_tape_put() caused scsi_tape_release()
to be called:

0266 static void scsi_tape_put(struct scsi_tape *STp)
0267 {
0268         struct scsi_device *sdev = STp-&gt;device;
0269
0270         mutex_lock(&amp;st_ref_mutex);
0271         kref_put(&amp;STp-&gt;kref, scsi_tape_release); &lt;-- calls this
0272         scsi_device_put(sdev);
0273         mutex_unlock(&amp;st_ref_mutex);
0274 }

In scsi_tape_release() the struct scsi_device in the struct
scsi_tape gets set to NULL:

4273 static void scsi_tape_release(struct kref *kref)
4274 {
4275         struct scsi_tape *tpnt = to_scsi_tape(kref);
4276         struct gendisk *disk = tpnt-&gt;disk;
4277
4278         tpnt-&gt;device = NULL; &lt;&lt;&lt;---- where the dev is nulled
4279
4280         if (tpnt-&gt;buffer) {
4281                 normalize_buffer(tpnt-&gt;buffer);
4282                 kfree(tpnt-&gt;buffer-&gt;reserved_pages);
4283                 kfree(tpnt-&gt;buffer);
4284         }
4285
4286         disk-&gt;private_data = NULL;
4287         put_disk(disk);
4288         kfree(tpnt);
4289         return;
4290 }

Although the problem was reported on SLES11.3 the problem appears
in linux-next as well.

The crash is fixed by reordering the code so we no longer access
the struct scsi_tape after the kref_put() is done on it in st_open().

Analysis reveals the cause of the crash to be due to STp-&gt;device
being NULL. The pointer was NULLed via scsi_tape_put(STp) when it
calls scsi_tape_release(). In st_open() we jump to err_out after
scsi_block_when_processing_errors() completes and returns the
device as offline (sdev_state was SDEV_DEL):

1180 /* Open the device. Needs to take the BKL only because of incrementing the SCSI host
1181    module count. */
1182 static int st_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
1183 {
1184         int i, retval = (-EIO);
1185         int resumed = 0;
1186         struct scsi_tape *STp;
1187         struct st_partstat *STps;
1188         int dev = TAPE_NR(inode);
1189         char *name;
...
1217         if (scsi_autopm_get_device(STp-&gt;device) &lt; 0) {
1218                 retval = -EIO;
1219                 goto err_out;
1220         }
1221         resumed = 1;
1222         if (!scsi_block_when_processing_errors(STp-&gt;device)) {
1223                 retval = (-ENXIO);
1224                 goto err_out;
1225         }
...
1264  err_out:
1265         normalize_buffer(STp-&gt;buffer);
1266         spin_lock(&amp;st_use_lock);
1267         STp-&gt;in_use = 0;
1268         spin_unlock(&amp;st_use_lock);
1269         scsi_tape_put(STp); &lt;-- STp-&gt;device = 0 after this
1270         if (resumed)
1271                 scsi_autopm_put_device(STp-&gt;device);
1272         return retval;

The ref count for the struct scsi_tape had already been reduced
to 1 when the .remove method of the st module had been called.
The kref_put() in scsi_tape_put() caused scsi_tape_release()
to be called:

0266 static void scsi_tape_put(struct scsi_tape *STp)
0267 {
0268         struct scsi_device *sdev = STp-&gt;device;
0269
0270         mutex_lock(&amp;st_ref_mutex);
0271         kref_put(&amp;STp-&gt;kref, scsi_tape_release); &lt;-- calls this
0272         scsi_device_put(sdev);
0273         mutex_unlock(&amp;st_ref_mutex);
0274 }

In scsi_tape_release() the struct scsi_device in the struct
scsi_tape gets set to NULL:

4273 static void scsi_tape_release(struct kref *kref)
4274 {
4275         struct scsi_tape *tpnt = to_scsi_tape(kref);
4276         struct gendisk *disk = tpnt-&gt;disk;
4277
4278         tpnt-&gt;device = NULL; &lt;&lt;&lt;---- where the dev is nulled
4279
4280         if (tpnt-&gt;buffer) {
4281                 normalize_buffer(tpnt-&gt;buffer);
4282                 kfree(tpnt-&gt;buffer-&gt;reserved_pages);
4283                 kfree(tpnt-&gt;buffer);
4284         }
4285
4286         disk-&gt;private_data = NULL;
4287         put_disk(disk);
4288         kfree(tpnt);
4289         return;
4290 }

Although the problem was reported on SLES11.3 the problem appears
in linux-next as well.

The crash is fixed by reordering the code so we no longer access
the struct scsi_tape after the kref_put() is done on it in st_open().

reduce code duplication by exporting srp_parse_tmo so

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of
  different areas.

  The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within
  target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric
  drivers tree-wide.

  There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and
  se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a
  completely lockless code-path.  It also removes the original
  hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint.

  The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core
  and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while
  still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes.

  The highlights include:

   - Merge sbc_verify_dif_* into common code (sagi)
   - Remove iscsi-target support for obsolete IFMarker/OFMarker
     (Christophe Vu-Brugier)
   - Add bidi support in target/user backend (ilias + vangelis + agover)
   - Move se_node_acl allocation into target-core code (hch)
   - Add crc_t10dif_update common helper (akinobu + mkp)
   - Handle target-core odd SGL mapping for data transfer memory
     (akinobu)
   - Move transport ID handling into target-core (hch)
   - Move task tag into struct se_cmd + support 64-bit tags (bart)
   - Convert se_node_acl-&gt;device_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch +
     paulmck)
   - Convert se_portal_group-&gt;tpg_lun_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch +
     paulmck)
   - Simplify target backend driver registration (hch)
   - Consolidate + simplify target backend attribute implementations
     (hch + nab)
   - Subsume se_port + t10_alua_tg_pt_gp_member into se_lun (hch)
   - Drop lun_sep_lock for se_lun-&gt;lun_se_dev RCU usage (hch + nab)
   - Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter (nab)
   - Use 64-bit LUNs tree-wide (hannes)
   - Drop left-over TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT limit (hannes)"

do_device_access() takes a separate parameter to indicate the direction of
data transfer, which it used to use to select the appropriate function out
of sg_pcopy_{to,from}_buffer().  However these two functions now have

So this patch makes it bypass these wrappers and call the underlying
function sg_copy_buffer() directly; this has the same calling style as
do_device_access() i.e.  a separate direction-of-transfer parameter and no
pointers-to-const, so skipping the wrappers not only eliminates the
warning, it also make the code simpler :)
