Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Here are the outstanding target pending updates for v4.7-rc1.

  The highlights this round include:

   - Allow external PR/ALUA metadata path be defined at runtime via top
     level configfs attribute (Lee)
   - Fix target session shutdown bug for ib_srpt multi-channel (hch)
   - Make TFO close_session() and shutdown_session() optional (hch)
   - Drop se_sess-&gt;sess_kref + convert tcm_qla2xxx to internal kref
     (hch)
   - Add tcm_qla2xxx endpoint attribute for basic FC jammer (Laurence)
   - Refactor iscsi-target RX/TX PDU encode/decode into common code
     (Varun)
   - Extend iscsit_transport with xmit_pdu, release_cmd, get_rx_pdu,
     validate_parameters, and get_r2t_ttt for generic ISO offload
     (Varun)
   - Initial merge of cxgb iscsi-segment offload target driver (Varun)

  The bulk of the changes are Chelsio's new driver, along with a number
  of iscsi-target common code improvements made by Varun + Co along the
  way"

Commit ff1e22e7a638 ("xen/events: Mask a moving irq") open-coded
irq_move_irq() but left out checking if the IRQ is disabled. This broke
resuming from suspend since it tries to move a (disabled) irq without
holding the IRQ's desc-&gt;lock. Fix it by adding in a check for disabled
IRQs.

The resulting stacktrace was:

<content type='text'>
The XEN UEFI code has become available on the ARM architecture
recently, but now causes a link-time warning:

ld: warning: drivers/xen/efi.o uses 2-byte wchar_t yet the output is to use 4-byte wchar_t; use of wchar_t values across objects may fail

This seems harmless, because the efi code only uses 2-byte
characters when interacting with EFI, so we don't pass on those
strings to elsewhere in the system, and we just need to
silence the warning.

It is not clear to me whether we actually need to build the file
with the -fshort-wchar flag, but if we do, then we should also
pass --no-wchar-size-warning to the linker, to avoid the warning.

<title>xen/gntdev: reduce copy batch size to 16</title>

<content type='text'>
IOCTL_GNTDEV_GRANT_COPY batches copy operations to reduce the number
of hypercalls.  The stack is used to avoid a memory allocation in a
hot path. However, a batch size of 24 requires more than 1024 bytes of
stack which in some configurations causes a compiler warning.

    xen/gntdev.c: In function ‘gntdev_ioctl_grant_copy’:
    xen/gntdev.c:949:1: warning: the frame size of 1248 bytes is
    larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]

This is a harmless warning as there is still plenty of stack spare,
but people keep trying to "fix" it.  Reduce the batch size to 16 to
reduce stack usage to less than 1024 bytes.  This should have minimal
impact on performance.

Turns out the template and thus many drivers got the return value wrong:
0 means the fabrics driver needs to put a session reference, which no
driver except for the iSCSI target drivers did.  Fortunately none of these
drivers supports explicit Node ACLs, so the bug was harmless.

Even without that only qla2xxx and iscsi every did real work in
shutdown_session, so get rid of the boilerplate code in all other
drivers.

<title>xen/evtchn: fix ring resize when binding new events</title>

The copying of ring data was wrong for two cases: For a full ring
nothing got copied at all (as in that case the canonicalized producer
and consumer indexes are identical). And in case one or both of the
canonicalized (after the resize) indexes would point into the second
half of the buffer, the copied data ended up in the wrong (free) part
of the new buffer. In both cases uninitialized data would get passed
back to the caller.

Fix this by simply copying the old ring contents twice: Once to the
low half of the new buffer, and a second time to the high half.

This addresses the inability to boot a HVM guest with 64 or more
vCPUs.  This regression was caused by 8620015499101090 (xen/evtchn:
dynamically grow pending event channel ring).

<title>efi: Remove unnecessary (and buggy) .memmap initialization from the Xen EFI driver</title>

<id>0ec7ae928a9c19c2b7b8054507d5694a2597065e</id>
<content type='text'>
So the following commit:

  884f4f66ffd6 ("efi: Remove global 'memmap' EFI memory map")

... triggered the following build warning on x86 64-bit allyesconfig:

drivers/xen/efi.c:290:47: warning: missing braces around initializer [-Wmissing-braces]

It's this initialization in drivers/xen/efi.c:

  static const struct efi efi_xen __initconst = {
  ...
        .memmap                   = NULL, /* Not used under Xen. */
  ...

which was forgotten about, as .memmap now is an embedded struct:

        struct efi_memory_map memmap;

We can remove this initialization - it's an EFI core internal data structure plus
it's not used in the Xen driver anyway.
