Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "Final round of fixes that came in too late to send in the first
  request.

  It's nine bug fixes and one version update (because of a bug fix) and
  one set of PCI ID additions. There's one bug fix in the core which is
  really a one liner (except that an additional sdev pointer was added
  for convenience) and the rest are in drivers"

* tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi:
  scsi: target: core: Add TMF to tmr_list handling
  scsi: core: Kick the requeue list after inserting when flushing
  scsi: fnic: unlock on error path in fnic_queuecommand()
  scsi: fcoe: Fix unsigned comparison with zero in store_ctlr_mode()
  scsi: mpi3mr: Fix mpi3mr_fw.c kernel-doc warnings
  scsi: smartpqi: Bump driver version to 2.1.26-030
  scsi: smartpqi: Fix logical volume rescan race condition

An abort that is responded to by iSCSI itself is added to tmr_list but does
not go to target core. A LUN_RESET that goes through tmr_list takes a
refcounter on the abort and waits for completion. However, the abort will
be never complete because it was not started in target core.

Mike Christie &lt;michael.christie@oracle.com&gt; says:

The following patches were made over Linus's tree but apply over
Martin's branches. They allow userspace to configure how fabric
drivers submit cmds to backend drivers.

Right now loop and vhost use a worker thread, and the other drivers
submit from the contexts they receive/process the cmd from. For
multiple LUN cases where the target can queue more cmds than the
backend can handle then deferring to a worker thread is safest because
the backend driver can block when doing things like waiting for a free
request/tag. Deferring also helps when the target has to handle
transport level requests from the recv context.

For cases where the backend devices can queue everything the target
sends, then there is no need to defer to a workqueue and you can see a
perf boost of up to 26% for small IO workloads. For a nvme device and
vhost-scsi I can see with 4K IOs:

fio jobs        1       2       4       8       10
--------------------------------------------------
workqueue
submit        94K     190K    394K    770K    890K

direct
submit       128K     252K    488K    950K    -

<title>scsi: target: Export fabric driver direct submit settings</title>

This exports the fabric driver's direct submit settings, so users know what
the driver supports. It will be helpful when they are exporting a device
through different targets and one doesn't support direct submission.

The new files allow the fabric to report what submission types they default
to and if they support direct submission:

default_submit_type:

 1 - TARGET_DIRECT_SUBMIT - If the user has not requested a specific value
     then the fabric requests direct submission.

 2 - TARGET_QUEUE_SUBMIT - If the user has not requested a specific value
     then the fabric requests queued submission.

Note that these fabric values are based on what the fabric driver currently
defaults to for compat with exiting setups.

direct_submit_supported:

 0 - The fabric does not support direct submission.

 1 - The fabric supports direct submission.
