commit 2ba3e6e8afc9b6188b471f27cf2b5e3cf34e7af2 upstream.

It is OK for s_first_meta_bg to be equal to the number of block group
descriptor blocks.  (It rarely happens, but it shouldn't cause any
problems.)

commit 320661b08dd6f1746d5c7ab4eb435ec64b97cd45 upstream.

Update to pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages in pcpu_alloc() is currently done
without holding pcpu_lock. This can lead to bad updates to the variable.
Add missing lock calls.

commit 28ea06c46fbcab63fd9a55531387b7928a18a590 upstream.

Commit 88ffbf3e03 switches to using rhashtables for glocks, hashing over
the entire struct lm_lockname instead of its individual fields.  On some
architectures, struct lm_lockname contains a hole of uninitialized
memory due to alignment rules, which now leads to incorrect hash values.
Get rid of that hole.

commit 13603685c1f12c67a7a2427f00b63f39a2b6f7c9 upstream.

As reported by Max, the Windows 2008 R2 chkdsk utility expects
VERIFY_16 to be supported, and does not handle the returned
CHECK_CONDITION properly, resulting in an infinite loop.

The kernel will log huge amounts of this error:

kernel: TARGET_CORE[iSCSI]: Unsupported SCSI Opcode 0x8f, sending
CHECK_CONDITION.

<title>scsi: libiscsi: add lock around task lists to fix list corruption regression</title>

commit 6f8830f5bbab16e54f261de187f3df4644a5b977 upstream.

There's a rather long standing regression from the commit "libiscsi:
Reduce locking contention in fast path"

Depending on iSCSI target behavior, it's possible to hit the case in
iscsi_complete_task where the task is still on a pending list
(!list_empty(&amp;task-&gt;running)).  When that happens the task is removed
from the list while holding the session back_lock, but other task list
modification occur under the frwd_lock.  That leads to linked list
corruption and eventually a panicked system.

Rather than back out the session lock split entirely, in order to try
and keep some of the performance gains this patch adds another lock to
maintain the task lists integrity.

Major enterprise supported kernels have been backing out the lock split
for while now, thanks to the efforts at IBM where a lab setup has the
most reliable reproducer I've seen on this issue.  This patch has been
tested there successfully.

We see lpfc devices regularly fail during kexec. Fix this by adding a
shutdown method which mirrors the remove method.

commit a04e54f2c35823ca32d56afcd5cea5b783e2f51a upstream.

The following fixes a divide by zero OOPs with TYPE_TAPE
due to pscsi_tape_read_blocksize() failing causing a zero
sd-&gt;sector_size being propigated up via dev_attrib.hw_block_size.

It also fixes another long-standing bug where TYPE_TAPE and
TYPE_MEDIMUM_CHANGER where using pscsi_create_type_other(),
which does not call scsi_device_get() to take the device
reference.  Instead, rename pscsi_create_type_rom() to
pscsi_create_type_nondisk() and use it for all cases.

Finally, also drop a dump_stack() in pscsi_get_blocks() for
non TYPE_DISK, which in modern target-core can get invoked
via target_sense_desc_format() during CHECK_CONDITION.

<title>md/raid1/10: fix potential deadlock</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 61eb2b43b99ebdc9bc6bc83d9792257b243e7cb3 upstream.

Neil Brown pointed out a potential deadlock in raid 10 code with
bio_split/chain. The raid1 code could have the same issue, but recent
barrier rework makes it less likely to happen. The deadlock happens in
below sequence:

1. generic_make_request(bio), this will set current-&gt;bio_list
2. raid10_make_request will split bio to bio1 and bio2
3. __make_request(bio1), wait_barrer, add underlayer disk bio to
current-&gt;bio_list
4. __make_request(bio2), wait_barrer

If raise_barrier happens between 3 &amp; 4, since wait_barrier runs at 3,
raise_barrier waits for IO completion from 3. And since raise_barrier
sets barrier, 4 waits for raise_barrier. But IO from 3 can't be
dispatched because raid10_make_request() doesn't finished yet.

The solution is to adjust the IO ordering. Quotes from Neil:
"
It is much safer to:

    if (need to split) {
        split = bio_split(bio, ...)
        bio_chain(...)
        make_request_fn(split);
        generic_make_request(bio);
   } else
        make_request_fn(mddev, bio);

This way we first process the initial section of the bio (in 'split')
which will queue some requests to the underlying devices.  These
requests will be queued in generic_make_request.
Then we queue the remainder of the bio, which will be added to the end
of the generic_make_request queue.
Then we return.
generic_make_request() will pop the lower-level device requests off the
queue and handle them first.  Then it will process the remainder
of the original bio once the first section has been fully processed.
"

Note, this only happens in read path. In write path, the bio is flushed to
underlaying disks either by blk flush (from schedule) or offladed to raid1/10d.
It's queued in current-&gt;bio_list.

It is much safer to:

    if (need to split) {
        split = bio_split(bio, ...)
        bio_chain(...)
        make_request_fn(split);
        generic_make_request(bio);
   } else
        make_request_fn(mddev, bio);

This way we first process the initial section of the bio (in 'split')
which will queue some requests to the underlying devices.  These
requests will be queued in generic_make_request.
Then we queue the remainder of the bio, which will be added to the end
of the generic_make_request queue.
Then we return.
generic_make_request() will pop the lower-level device requests off the
queue and handle them first.  Then it will process the remainder
of the original bio once the first section has been fully processed.
"

Note, this only happens in read path. In write path, the bio is flushed to
underlaying disks either by blk flush (from schedule) or offladed to raid1/10d.
It's queued in current-&gt;bio_list.
