Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Here are the outstanding target pending fixes for v3.12-rc7.

  This includes a number of EXTENDED_COPY related fixes as a result of
  Thomas and Doug's continuing testing and feedback.

  Also included is an important vhost/scsi fix that addresses a long
  standing issue where the 'write' parameter for get_user_pages_fast()
  was incorrectly set for virtio-scsi WRITEs -&gt; DMA_TO_DEVICE, and not
  for virtio-scsi READs -&gt; DMA_FROM_DEVICE.

  This resulted in random userspace segfaults and other unpleasantness
  on KVM host, and unfortunately has been an issue since the initial
  merge of vhost/scsi in v3.6.  This patch is CC'ed to stable, along
  with two other less critical items"

* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending:
  vhost/scsi: Fix incorrect usage of get_user_pages_fast write parameter
  target/pscsi: fix return value check
  target: Fail XCOPY for non matching source + destination block_size
  target: Generate failure for XCOPY I/O with non-zero scsi_status
  target: Add missing XCOPY I/O operation sense_buffer
  iser-target: check device before dereferencing its variable
  target: Return an error for WRITE SAME with ANCHOR==1

<title>vhost/scsi: Fix incorrect usage of get_user_pages_fast write parameter</title>

<id>60a01f558af9c48b0bb31f303c479e32721add3f</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch addresses a long-standing bug where the get_user_pages_fast()
write parameter used for setting the underlying page table entry permission
bits was incorrectly set to write=1 for data_direction=DMA_TO_DEVICE, and
passed into get_user_pages_fast() via vhost_scsi_map_iov_to_sgl().

However, this parameter is intended to signal WRITEs to pinned userspace
PTEs for the virtio-scsi DMA_FROM_DEVICE -&gt; READ payload case, and *not*
for the virtio-scsi DMA_TO_DEVICE -&gt; WRITE payload case.

This bug would manifest itself as random process segmentation faults on
KVM host after repeated vhost starts + stops and/or with lots of vhost
endpoints + LUNs.

<content type='text'>
The "legacy" ECC layout used until 3.12-rc1 uses all the OOB area by
computing the ECC strength and ECC step size ourselves.

Commit 2febcdf84b ("mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info")
makes the driver use the ECC info (ECC strength and ECC step size)
provided by the MTD code, and creates a different NAND ECC layout
for the BCH, and use the new ECC layout. This causes a regression:

   We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ECC layout.

This patch fixes this issue by reverting to the legacy ECC layout.

We will probably introduce a new device-tree property to indicate that
the new ECC layout can be used. For now though, for the imminent 3.12
release, we just unconditionally revert to the 3.11 behaviour.

This leaves a harmless cosmetic warning about an unused function. At
this point in the cycle I really don't care.

  mtd: nand: pxa3xx: Remove hardcoded mtd name

  There's no advantage in using a hardcoded name for the mtd device.
  Instead use the provided by the platform_device.

The MTD name was changed to use the one provided by the platform_device.
However, this can be problematic as some users want to set partitions
using the kernel parameter 'mtdparts', where the name is needed.

Therefore, to avoid regressions in users relying in 'mtdparts' we revert
the change and use the previous one 'pxa3xx_nand-0'.

While at it, let's put a big comment and prevent this change from happening
ever again.
