When transport_lookup_tmr_lun() fails and we return a task management
response from target_complete_tmr_failure(), we need to call
transport_cmd_check_stop_to_fabric() to release the last ref to the
cmd after calling se_tfo-&gt;queue_tm_rsp(), or else we will never remove
the failed TMR from the session command list (and we'll end up waiting
forever when trying to tear down the session).

<title>target: Fix use-after-free in LUN RESET handling</title>

<id>72b59d6ee8adaa51f70377db0a1917ed489bead8</id>
<content type='text'>
If a backend IO takes a really long then an initiator might abort a
command, and then when it gives up on the abort, send a LUN reset too,
all before we process any of the original command or the abort.  (The
abort will wait for the backend IO to complete too)

When the backend IO final completes (or fails), the abort handling
will proceed and queue up a "return aborted status" operation.  Then,
while that's still pending, the LUN reset might find the original
command still on the LUN's list of commands and try to return aborted
status again, which leads to a use-after free when the first
se_tfo-&gt;queue_status call frees the command and then the second
se_tfo-&gt;queue_status call runs.

Fix this by removing a command from the LUN state_list when we first
are about to queue aborted status; we shouldn't do anything
LUN-related after we've started returning status, so this seems like
the correct thing to do.

<title>target: Fix missing CMD_T_ACTIVE bit regression for pending WRITEs</title>
<updated>2013-01-11T05:00:07+00:00</updated>

<id>e627c615553a356f6f70215ebb3933c6e057553e</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes a regression bug introduced during v3.6.x code with
the following commit to drop transport_add_cmd_to_queue(), which
originally re-set CMD_T_ACTIVE during pending WRITE I/O submission:

commit af8772926f019b7bddd7477b8de5f3b0f12bad21
Author: Christoph Hellwig &lt;hch@infradead.org&gt;
Date:   Sun Jul 8 15:58:49 2012 -0400

    target: replace the processing thread with a TMR work queue

The following sequence happens for write commands (or any other
commands with a data out phase):

 - The transport calls target_submit_cmd(), which sets CMD_T_ACTIVE in
   cmd-&gt;transport_state and sets cmd-&gt;t_state to TRANSPORT_NEW_CMD.
 - Things go on transport_generic_new_cmd(), which notices that the
   command needs to transfer data, so it sets cmd-&gt;t_state to
   TRANSPORT_WRITE_PENDING and calls transport_cmd_check_stop().
 - transport_cmd_check_stop() clears CMD_T_ACTIVE in cmd-&gt;transport_state
   and returns in the normal case.
 - Then we continue on to call -&gt;se_tfo-&gt;write_pending().
 - The data comes back from the initiator, and the transport calls
   target_execute_cmd(), which sets cmd-&gt;t_state to TRANSPORT_PROCESSING
   and calls into the backend to actually write the data.

At this point, the backend might take a long time to complete the
command, since it has to do real IO.  If an abort request comes in for
this command at this point, it will not wait for the command to finish
since CMD_T_ACTIVE is not set.  Then when the command does finally
finish, we blow up with use-after-free.

Avoid this by setting CMD_T_ACTIVE in target_execute_cmd() so that
transport_wait_for_tasks() waits for the command to finish executing.
This matches the behavior from before commit 1389533ef944 ("target:
remove transport_generic_handle_data"), when data was signaled via
transport_generic_handle_data(), which set CMD_T_ACTIVE because it
called transport_add_cmd_to_queue().

 "It has been a very busy development cycle this time around in target

   - Simplify reservations code by combining SPC-3 + SCSI-2 support for

   - Simplify ALUA code for virtual only backends, and remove left over
     abstractions (hch)
   - Pass sense_reason_t as return value for I/O submission path (hch)
   - Refactor MODE_SENSE emulation to allow for easier addition of new
     mode pages.  (roland)
   - Add emulation of MODE_SELECT (roland)
   - Fix bug in handling of ExpStatSN wrap-around (steve)
   - Fix bug in TMR ABORT_TASK lookup in qla2xxx target (steve)
   - Add WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=0 support for IBLOCK backends (nab)
   - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_cmd caller + drop
     legacy ioctx-&gt;kref usage (nab)
   - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_tmr caller (nab)
   - Add link_magic for fabric allow_link destination target_items for
     symlinks within target_core_fabric_configfs.c code (nab)
   - Allocate pointers in instead of full structs for
     config_group-&gt;default_groups (sebastian)
   - Fix 32-bit highmem breakage for FILEIO (sebastian)

  All told, hch was able to shave off another ~1K LOC by killing the
  se_subsystem_dev abstraction, along with a number of PR + ALUA
  simplifications.  Also, a nice patch by Roland is the refactoring of
  MODE_SENSE handling, along with the addition of initial MODE_SELECT
  emulation support for virtual backends.

  Sebastian found a long-standing issue wrt to allocation of full
  config_group instead of pointers for config_group-&gt;default_group[]
  setup in a number of areas, which ends up saving memory with big
  configurations.  He also managed to fix another long-standing BUG wrt
  to broken 32-bit highmem support within the FILEIO backend driver.

  Thank you again to everyone who contributed this round!"

     abstractions (hch)
   - Pass sense_reason_t as return value for I/O submission path (hch)
   - Refactor MODE_SENSE emulation to allow for easier addition of new
     mode pages.  (roland)
   - Add emulation of MODE_SELECT (roland)
   - Fix bug in handling of ExpStatSN wrap-around (steve)
   - Fix bug in TMR ABORT_TASK lookup in qla2xxx target (steve)
   - Add WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=0 support for IBLOCK backends (nab)
   - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_cmd caller + drop
     legacy ioctx-&gt;kref usage (nab)
   - Convert ib_srpt to use modern target_submit_tmr caller (nab)
   - Add link_magic for fabric allow_link destination target_items for
     symlinks within target_core_fabric_configfs.c code (nab)
   - Allocate pointers in instead of full structs for
     config_group-&gt;default_groups (sebastian)
   - Fix 32-bit highmem breakage for FILEIO (sebastian)

  All told, hch was able to shave off another ~1K LOC by killing the
  se_subsystem_dev abstraction, along with a number of PR + ALUA
  simplifications.  Also, a nice patch by Roland is the refactoring of
  MODE_SENSE handling, along with the addition of initial MODE_SELECT
  emulation support for virtual backends.

  Sebastian found a long-standing issue wrt to allocation of full
  config_group instead of pointers for config_group-&gt;default_group[]
  setup in a number of areas, which ends up saving memory with big
  configurations.  He also managed to fix another long-standing BUG wrt
  to broken 32-bit highmem support within the FILEIO backend driver.

  Thank you again to everyone who contributed this round!"
