Pull SCSI target patches from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Here are the remaining target-pending patches for v3.9-rc1.

  The most important one here is the immediate queue starvation
  regression fix for iscsi-target, which addresses a bug that's
  effecting v3.5+ kernels under heavy sustained READ only workloads.
  Thanks alot to Benjamin Estrabaud for helping to track this down!

  Also included is a pSCSI exception bugfix from Asias, along with a
  handful of other minor changes.  Both bugfixes are CC'ed to stable."

* 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending:
  target/pscsi: Rename sg_num to nr_vecs in pscsi_get_bio()
  target/pscsi: Fix page increment
  target/pscsi: Drop unnecessary NULL assignment to bio-&gt;bi_next
  target: Add __exit annotation for module_exit functions
  iscsi-target: Fix immediate queue starvation regression with DATAIN

It is actually a vector not a sg, so nr_vecs is better than sg_num.

The page++ is wrong. It makes bio_add_pc_page() pointing to a wrong page
address if the 'while (len &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; data_len &gt; 0) { ... }' loop is
executed more than one once.

Note: rd_module_exit() can not be annotated by __exit, becasue it is
called by target_core_init_configfs() which is annotated by __init.

<title>hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators</title>

<content type='text'>
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj-&gt;member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

<title>iscsi-target: Fix immediate queue starvation regression with DATAIN</title>

<id>fd3a9025c0349bc9b01d627529f54e6e1e389015</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch addresses a v3.5+ regression in iscsi-target where TX thread
process context -&gt; handle_response_queue() execution is allowed to run
unbounded while servicing constant outgoing flow of ISTATE_SEND_DATAIN
response state.

This ends up preventing memory release of StatSN acknowledged commands
in a timely manner when under heavy large block streaming DATAIN
workloads.

The regression bug was initially introduced with:

commit 6f3c0e69a9c20441bdc6d3b2d18b83b244384ec6
Author: Andy Grover &lt;agrover@redhat.com&gt;
Date:   Tue Apr 3 15:51:09 2012 -0700

    target/iscsi: Refactor target_tx_thread immediate+response queue loops

Go ahead and follow original iscsi_target_tx_thread() logic and check
to break for immediate queue processing after each DataIN Sequence and/or
Response PDU has been sent.

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
 "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing -&gt;d_name/-&gt;d_parent
  locking violations, etc.

  The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
  "has -&gt;d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
  to inode.  Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

  Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
  several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

  PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (46 commits)
  saner proc_get_inode() calling conventions
  proc: avoid extra pde_put() in proc_fill_super()
  fs: change return values from -EACCES to -EPERM
  fs/exec.c: make bprm_mm_init() static
  ocfs2/dlm: use GFP_ATOMIC inside a spin_lock
  ocfs2: fix possible use-after-free with AIO
  ocfs2: Fix oops in ocfs2_fast_symlink_readpage() code path
  get_empty_filp()/alloc_file() leave both -&gt;f_pos and -&gt;f_version zero
  target: writev() on single-element vector is pointless
  export kernel_write(), convert open-coded instances
  fs: encode_fh: return FILEID_INVALID if invalid fid_type
  kill f_vfsmnt
  vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry op
  nfsd: handle vfs_getattr errors in acl protocol
  switch vfs_getattr() to struct path
  default SET_PERSONALITY() in linux/elf.h
  ceph: prepopulate inodes only when request is aborted
  d_hash_and_lookup(): export, switch open-coded instances
  9p: switch v9fs_set_create_acl() to inode+fid, do it before d_instantiate()
  9p: split dropping the acls from v9fs_set_create_acl()

Pull scsi target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "The highlights in this series include:

   - Improve sg_table lookup scalability in RAMDISK_MCP (martin)

   - Add device attribute to expose config name for INQUIRY model (tregaron)

   - Convert tcm_vhost to use lock-less list for cmd completion (asias)

   - Add tcm_vhost support for multiple target's per endpoint (asias)

   - Add tcm_vhost support for multiple queues per vhost (asias)

   - Add missing mapped_lun bounds checking during make_mappedlun setup
     in generic fabric configfs code (jan engelhardt + nab)

   - Enforce individual iscsi-target network portal export once per
     TargetName endpoint (grover + nab)

   - Add WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=0 emulation to FILEIO backend (nab)

  Things have been mostly quiet this round, with majority of the work
  being done on the iser-target WIP driver + associated iscsi-target
  refactoring patches currently in flight for v3.10 code.

  At this point there is one patch series left outstanding from Asias to
  add support for UNMAP + WRITE_SAME w/ UNMAP=1 to FILEIO awaiting
  feedback from hch &amp; Co, that will likely be included in a post
  v3.9-rc1 PULL request if there are no objections.

  Also, there is a regression bug recently reported off-list that seems
  to be effecting v3.5 and v3.6 kernels with MSFT iSCSI initiators that
  is still being tracked down.  No word if this effects &gt;= v3.7 just
  yet, but if so there will likely another PULL request coming your
  way.."
