<id>8f9b565482c537821588444e09ff732c7d65ed6e</id>

This patch adds an optional fabric driver provided SGL limit
that target-core will honor as it's own internal I/O maximum
transfer length limit, as exposed by EVPD=0xb0 block limits
parameters.

This is required for handling cases when host I/O transfer
length exceeds the requested EVPD block limits maximum
transfer length. The initial user of this logic is qla2xxx,
so that we can avoid having to reject I/Os from some legacy
FC hosts where EVPD=0xb0 parameters are not honored.

When se_cmd payload length exceeds the provided limit in
target_check_max_data_sg_nents() code, se_cmd-&gt;data_length +
se_cmd-&gt;prot_length are reset with se_cmd-&gt;residual_count
plus underflow bit for outgoing TFO response callbacks.
It also checks for existing CDB level underflow + overflow
and recalculates final residual_count as necessary.

Note this patch currently assumes 1:1 mapping of PAGE_SIZE
per struct scatterlist entry.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
  appeared in a linux-next release.  The changes outside of the typical
  drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
  removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
  the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().

  Summary:

   - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
     mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
     kernel's direct map.

     This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
     operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
     'struct block_device_operations').

     For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
     from "System RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device
     memory will arrive in a later kernel.

   - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
     ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
     mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
     replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
     pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.

     Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.

   - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
     driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
     persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.

   - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
     cacheable to improve performance.

   - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
     issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
     'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
     ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor

<content type='text'>
Based on include/xen/mm.h [1], Linux is mistakenly using MFN when GFN
is meant, I suspect this is because the first support for Xen was for
PV. This resulted in some misimplementation of helpers on ARM and
confused developers about the expected behavior.

For instance, with pfn_to_mfn, we expect to get an MFN based on the name.
Although, if we look at the implementation on x86, it's returning a GFN.

For clarity and avoid new confusion, replace any reference to mfn with
gfn in any helpers used by PV drivers. The x86 code will still keep some
reference of pfn_to_mfn which may be used by all kind of guests
No changes as been made in the hypercall field, even
though they may be invalid, in order to keep the same as the defintion
in xen repo.

Note that page_to_mfn has been renamed to xen_page_to_gfn to avoid a
name to close to the KVM function gfn_to_page.

Take also the opportunity to simplify simple construction such
as pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(page)) into xen_page_to_gfn. More complex clean up
will come in follow-up patches.

Based on include/xen/mm.h [1], Linux is mistakenly using MFN when GFN
is meant, I suspect this is because the first support for Xen was for
PV. This resulted in some misimplementation of helpers on ARM and
confused developers about the expected behavior.

For instance, with pfn_to_mfn, we expect to get an MFN based on the name.
Although, if we look at the implementation on x86, it's returning a GFN.

For clarity and avoid new confusion, replace any reference to mfn with
gfn in any helpers used by PV drivers. The x86 code will still keep some
reference of pfn_to_mfn which may be used by all kind of guests
No changes as been made in the hypercall field, even
though they may be invalid, in order to keep the same as the defintion
in xen repo.

Note that page_to_mfn has been renamed to xen_page_to_gfn to avoid a
name to close to the KVM function gfn_to_page.

Take also the opportunity to simplify simple construction such
as pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(page)) into xen_page_to_gfn. More complex clean up
will come in follow-up patches.

<title>scsi: fix scsi_error_handler vs. scsi_host_dev_release race</title>

b9d5c6b7ef57 ("[SCSI] cleanup setting task state in
scsi_error_handler()") has introduced a race between scsi_error_handler
and scsi_host_dev_release resulting in the hang when the device goes
away because scsi_error_handler might miss a wake up:

CPU0					CPU1
scsi_error_handler			scsi_host_dev_release
  					  kthread_stop()
  kthread_should_stop()
    test_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)
					    set_bit(KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP)
					    wake_up_process()
					    wait_for_completion()

  set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE)
  schedule()

The most straightforward solution seems to be to invert the ordering of
the set_current_state and kthread_should_stop.

The issue has been noticed during reboot test on a 3.0 based kernel but
the current code seems to be affected in the same way.

<title>fcoe: Convert use of __constant_htons to htons</title>

In little endian cases, the macro htons unfolds to __swab16 which
provides special case for constants. In big endian cases,
__constant_htons and htons expand directly to the same expression.
So, replace __constant_htons with htons with the goal of getting
rid of the definition of __constant_htons completely.

The semantic patch that performs this transformation is as follows:

@@expression x;@@

- __constant_htons(x)
+ htons(x)

mpt2sas: setpci reset on nytro warpdrive card along with sysfs access and
cli ioctl access resulted in kernel oops

1. pci_access_mutex lock added to provide synchronization between IOCTL,
   sysfs, PCI resource handling path

2. gioc_lock spinlock to protect list operations over multiple
controllers

Subject: [PATCH] mpt2sas setpci reset oops fix

In mpt2sas driver due to lack of synchronization between ioctl,
BRM status access through sysfs, pci resource removal kernel oops
happen as ioctl path and BRM status sysfs access path still tries
to access the removed resources

Two locks added to provide syncrhonization

1. pci_access_mutex: Mutex to synchronize ioctl,sysfs show path and
pci resource handling. PCI resource freeing will lead to free
vital hardware/memory resource, which might be in use by cli/sysfs
path functions resulting in Null pointer reference followed by kernel
crash. To avoid the above race condition we use mutex syncrhonization
which ensures the syncrhonization between cli/sysfs_show path

Note: pci_access_mutex is used only if nytro warpdrive cards
(ioc-&gt;is_warpdrive based on device id) are used
as we could not test this case with other SAS2 HBA cards
We can remove this check if this behaviour confirmed from other
cards.

2. spinlock on list operations over IOCs

Case: when multiple warpdrive cards(IOCs) are in use
Each IOC will added to the ioc list stucture on initialization.
Watchdog threads run at regular intervals to check IOC for any
fault conditions which will trigger the dead_ioc thread to
deallocate pci resource, resulting deleting the IOC netry from list,
this deletion need to protected by spinlock to enusre that
ioc removal is syncrhonized, if not synchronized it might lead to
list_del corruption as the ioc list is traversed in cli path
