This patch will fix regression caused by commit 1e793f6fc0db ("scsi:
megaraid_sas: Fix data integrity failure for JBOD (passthrough)
devices").

The problem was that the MEGASAS_IS_LOGICAL macro did not have braces
and as a result the driver ended up exposing a lot of non-existing SCSI
devices (all SCSI commands to channels 1,2,3 were returned as
SUCCESS-DID_OK by driver).

[mkp: clarified patch description]

If a command is aborted in the kernel but not in the adapter, it might be
considered complete and its DMA memory released, but it is still alive in
the adapter, which will trigger an invalid DMA access upon its completion
(in the DMA operations to deliver the command response to the driver).

On powerpc platforms with IOMMU/EEH capabilities, the problem is observed
during PCI device removal with ongoing IO requests -- which might trigger
an EEH event very often, pointing to a 'TCE Request Page Access Error'.

In that path, which is qla2x00_remove_one(), the commands are aborted in
qla2x00_abort_all_cmds(), which does not perform an abort in the adapter
as is done in qla2xxx_eh_abort() for example.

So, this patch changes qla2x00_abort_all_cmds() to abort commands in the
adapter too, with a call to qla2xxx_eh_abort(), which already implements
all the logic to submit abort requests and handle responses.

<title>scsi: qla2xxx: do not queue commands when unloading</title>

<content type='text'>
When the driver is unloading, in qla2x00_remove_one(), there is a single
call/point in time to abort ongoing commands, qla2x00_abort_all_cmds(),
which is still several steps away from the call to scsi_remove_host().

If more commands continue to arrive and be processed during that
interval, when the driver is tearing down and releasing its structures,
it might potentially hit an oops due to invalid memory access:

    Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000138
    &lt;...&gt;
    NIP [d000000004700a40] qla2xxx_queuecommand+0x80/0x3f0 [qla2xxx]
    LR [d000000004700a10] qla2xxx_queuecommand+0x50/0x3f0 [qla2xxx]

So, fail commands in qla2xxx_queuecommand() if the UNLOADING bit is set.

<content type='text'>
A system can get hung task timeouts if a qlogic board fails during
initialization (if the board breaks again or fails the init). The hang
involves the scsi scan.

In a nutshell, since commit beb9e315e6e0 ("qla2xxx: Prevent removal and
board_disable race"):

...it is possible to have freed ha (base_vha-&gt;hw) early by a call to
qla2x00_remove_one when pdev-&gt;enable_cnt equals zero:

       if (!atomic_read(&amp;pdev-&gt;enable_cnt)) {
               scsi_host_put(base_vha-&gt;host);
               kfree(ha);
               pci_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL);
               return;

Almost always, the scsi_host_put above frees the vha structure
(attached to the end of the Scsi_Host we're putting) since it's the last
put, and life is good.  However, if we are entering this routine because
the adapter has broken sometime during initialization AND a scsi scan is
already in progress (and has done its own scsi_host_get), vha will not
be freed. What's worse, the scsi scan will access the freed ha structure
through qla2xxx_scan_finished:

        if (time &gt; vha-&gt;hw-&gt;loop_reset_delay * HZ)
                return 1;

The scsi scan keeps checking to see if a scan is complete by calling
qla2xxx_scan_finished. There is a timeout value that limits the length
of time a scan can take (hw-&gt;loop_reset_delay, usually set to 5
seconds), but this definition is in the data structure (hw) that can get
freed early.

This can yield unpredictable results, the worst of which is that the
scsi scan can hang indefinitely. This happens when the freed structure
gets reused and loop_reset_delay gets overwritten with garbage, which
the scan obliviously uses as its timeout value.

The fix for this is simple: at the top of qla2xxx_scan_finished, check
for the UNLOADING bit in the vha structure (_vha is not freed at this
point).  If UNLOADING is set, we exit the scan for this adapter
immediately. After this last reference to the ha structure, we'll exit
the scan for this adapter, and continue on.

This problem is hard to hit, but I have run into it doing negative
testing many times now (with a test specifically designed to bring it
out), so I can verify that this fix works. My testing has been against a
RHEL7 driver variant, but the bug and patch are equally relevant to to
the upstream driver.

The code at the end of alua_rtpg_work() is as follows:

	scsi_device_put(sdev);
	kref_put(&amp;pg-&gt;kref, release_port_group);

In other words, alua_rtpg_queue() must hold an sdev reference and a pg
reference before queueing rtpg work. If no rtpg work is queued no
additional references should be held when alua_rtpg_queue() returns. If
no rtpg work is queued, ensure that alua_rtpg_queue() only gives up the
sdev reference if that reference was obtained by the same
alua_rtpg_queue() call.

The code at the end of alua_rtpg_work() is as follows:

	scsi_device_put(sdev);
	kref_put(&amp;pg-&gt;kref, release_port_group);

In other words, alua_rtpg_queue() must hold an sdev reference and a pg
reference before queueing rtpg work. If no rtpg work is queued no
additional references should be held when alua_rtpg_queue() returns. If
no rtpg work is queued, ensure that alua_rtpg_queue() only gives up the
sdev reference if that reference was obtained by the same
alua_rtpg_queue() call.

<title>scsi: vmw_pvscsi: return SUCCESS for successful command aborts</title>

The vmw_pvscsi driver reports most successful aborts as FAILED to the
scsi error handler.  This is do to a misunderstanding of how
completion_done() works and its interaction with a successful wait using
wait_for_completion_timeout().  The vmw_pvscsi driver is expecting
completion_done() to always return true if complete() has been called on
the completion structure.  But completion_done() returns true after
complete() has been called only if no function like
wait_for_completion_timeout() has seen the completion and cleared it as
part of successfully waiting for the completion.

Instead of using completion_done(), vmw_pvscsi should just use the
return value from wait_for_completion_timeout() to know if the wait
timed out or not.

[mkp: bumped driver version per request]
