Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Here are the outstanding target-pending updates for v4.3-rc1.

  Mostly bug-fixes and minor changes this round.  The fallout from the
  big v4.2-rc1 RCU conversion have (thus far) been minimal.

  The highlights this round include:

   - Move sense handling routines into scsi_common code (Sagi)

   - Return ABORTED_COMMAND sense key for PI errors (Sagi)

   - Add tpg_enabled_sendtargets attribute for disabled iscsi-target
     discovery (David)

   - Shrink target struct se_cmd by rearranging fields (Roland)

   - Drop iSCSI use of mutex around max_cmd_sn increment (Roland)

   - Replace iSCSI __kernel_sockaddr_storage with sockaddr_storage (Andy +
     Chris)

   - Honor fabric max_data_sg_nents I/O transfer limit (Arun + Himanshu +
     nab)

   - Fix EXTENDED_COPY &gt;= v4.1 regression OOPsen (Alex + nab)"

* 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (37 commits)

Calling transport_generic_request_failure() from here causes list
corruption. We should be using target_complete_cmd() instead.

Which we do in all other cases, so the UNKNOWN_OP case can become just
another member of the big else/if chain in tcmu_handle_completion().

This does nothing, and there are many other places where
transport_cmd_check_stop_to_fabric()'s retval is not checked&gt;, If we
wanted to check it here, we should probably do it those other places too.

    target: Drop iSCSI use of mutex around max_cmd_sn increment

This patch fixes incorrect pr_debug() + atomic_inc_return() usage
within iscsit_increment_maxcmdsn() code.

Also fix funny iscsit_determine_maxcmdsn() usage and update
iscsi_target_do_tx_login_io() code.

This patch is a &gt;= v4.1 regression bug-fix where control CDB
emulation logic in commit 38b57f82 now expects a se_cmd-&gt;se_sess
pointer to exist when determining T10-PI support is to be exposed
for initiator host ports.

To address this bug, go ahead and add locally generated se_cmd
descriptors for copy-offload block-copy to it's own stand-alone
se_session nexus, while the parent EXTENDED_COPY se_cmd descriptor
remains associated with it's originating se_cmd-&gt;se_sess nexus.

Note a valid se_cmd-&gt;se_sess is also required for future support
of WRITE_INSERT and READ_STRIP software emulation when submitting
backend I/O to se_device that exposes T10-PI suport.

<title>target/qla2xxx: Honor max_data_sg_nents I/O transfer limit</title>

<id>8f9b565482c537821588444e09ff732c7d65ed6e</id>
<content type='text'>
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 core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This first core part of the block IO changes contains:

   - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph.  We used to
     rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
     store the error in the bio itself.

   - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
     down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.

   - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
     from Jeff Moyer.  This caused performance regressions in various
     tests.  Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
     instead.

   - Make /sys/block/&lt;dev&gt;/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
     Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
     when deleting files.  Enable the admin to configure the size down.
     We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
     sectors.

   - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.

   - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
     enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
     path).  From Kent.

   - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
     faster.  From Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
     file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
     condition.

   - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
     for a while, and testing them.  Ming also did a few fixes around
     that.

   - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
     the bio-&gt;bi_error changes from Christoph.

   - Small blk cgroup cleanup from Viresh Kumar"

* 'for-4.3/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (26 commits)
  blk: Fix bio_io_vec index when checking bvec gaps
  block: Replace SG_GAPS with new queue limits mask
  block: bump BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS to 2560
  Revert "block: remove artifical max_hw_sectors cap"
  blk-mq: fix race between timeout and freeing request
  blk-mq: fix buffer overflow when reading sysfs file of 'pending'
  Documentation: update notes in biovecs about arbitrarily sized bios
  block: remove bio_get_nr_vecs()
  fs: use helper bio_add_page() instead of open coding on bi_io_vec
  block: kill merge_bvec_fn() completely
  md/raid5: get rid of bio_fits_rdev()
  md/raid5: split bio for chunk_aligned_read
  block: remove split code in blkdev_issue_{discard,write_same}
  btrfs: remove bio splitting and merge_bvec_fn() calls
  bcache: remove driver private bio splitting code
  block: simplify bio_add_page()
  block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios
