[ Upstream commit 5f7da044f8bc1cfb21c962edf34bd5699a76e7ae ]

This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference triggered by a late
target_configure_device() -&gt; alloc_workqueue() failure that results
in target_free_device() being called with DF_CONFIGURED already set,
which subsequently OOPses in destroy_workqueue() code.

Currently this only happens at modprobe target_core_mod time when
core_dev_setup_virtual_lun0() -&gt; target_configure_device() fails,
and the explicit target_free_device() gets called.

To address this bug originally introduced by commit 0fd97ccf45, go
ahead and move DF_CONFIGURED to end of target_configure_device()
code to handle this special failure case.

<title>target: Drop arbitrary maximum I/O size limit</title>

<id>82bc9d04f4281276b8941b09a9306e15d4dc53f6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 046ba64285a4389ae5e9a7dfa253c6bff3d7c341 upstream.

This patch drops the arbitrary maximum I/O size limit in sbc_parse_cdb(),
which currently for fabric_max_sectors is hardcoded to 8192 (4 MB for 512
byte sector devices), and for hw_max_sectors is a backend driver dependent
value.

This limit is problematic because Linux initiators have only recently
started to honor block limits MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH, and other non-Linux
based initiators (eg: MSFT Fibre Channel) can also generate I/Os larger
than 4 MB in size.

Currently when this happens, the following message will appear on the
target resulting in I/Os being returned with non recoverable status:

  SCSI OP 28h with too big sectors 16384 exceeds fabric_max_sectors: 8192

Instead, drop both [fabric,hw]_max_sector checks in sbc_parse_cdb(),
and convert the existing hw_max_sectors into a purely informational
attribute used to represent the granuality that backend driver and/or
subsystem code is splitting I/Os upon.

Also, update FILEIO with an explicit FD_MAX_BYTES check in fd_execute_rw()
to deal with the one special iovec limitiation case.

v2 changes:
  - Drop hw_max_sectors check in sbc_parse_cdb()

<title>target: Add force_pr_aptpl device attribute</title>

<id>92404e609a2dffc55a9a22540ed48b6f0edc9c59</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds a force_pr_aptpl device attribute used to force SPC-3 PR
Activate Persistence across Target Power Loss (APTPL) operation.  This
makes PR metadata write-out occur during state change regardless if new
PERSISTENT_RESERVE_OUT CDBs have their APTPL feature bit set.

This is useful during H/A failover in active/passive setups where all PR
state is being re-created on a different node, driven by configfs backend
device + export layout and pre-loaded $DEV/pr/res_aptpl_metadata.

<content type='text'>
This patch fixes a bug in handling of SPC-3 PR Activate Persistence
across Target Power Loss (APTPL) logic where re-creation of state for
MappedLUNs from dynamically generated NodeACLs did not occur during
I_T Nexus establishment.

It adds the missing core_scsi3_check_aptpl_registration() call during
core_tpg_check_initiator_node_acl() -&gt; core_tpg_add_node_to_devs() in
order to replay any pre-loaded APTPL metadata state associated with
the newly connected SCSI Initiator Port.

<title>target: encapsulate smp_mb__after_atomic()</title>

<id>33940d09937276cd3c81f2874faf43e37c2db0e2</id>
<content type='text'>
The target code has a rather generous helping of smp_mb__after_atomic()
throughout the code base.  Most atomic operations were followed by one
and none were preceded by smp_mb__before_atomic(), nor accompanied by a
comment explaining the need for a barrier.

Instead of trying to prove for every case whether or not it is needed,
this patch introduces atomic_inc_mb() and atomic_dec_mb(), which
explicitly include the memory barriers before and after the atomic
operation.  For now they are defined in a target header, although they
could be of general use.

Most of the existing atomic/mb combinations were replaced by the new
helpers.  In a few cases the atomic was sandwiched in
spin_lock/spin_unlock and I simply removed the barrier.

I suspect that in most cases the correct conversion would have been to
drop the barrier.  I also suspect that a few cases exist where a) the
barrier was necessary and b) a second barrier before the atomic would
have been necessary and got added by this patch.

Remove core_tpg_pre_dellun entirely, since we don't need to get/check
a pointer we already have.

Nothing else can return an error, so core_dev_del_lun can return void.

Rename core_tpg_post_dellun to remove_lun - a clearer name, now that
pre_dellun is gone.

This patch fixes a left-over se_lun-&gt;lun_sep pointer OOPs when one
of the /sys/kernel/config/target/$FABRIC/$WWPN/$TPGT/lun/$LUN/alua*
attributes is accessed after the $DEVICE symlink has been removed.

To address this bug, go ahead and clear se_lun-&gt;lun_sep memory in
core_dev_unexport(), so that the existing checks for show/store
ALUA attributes in target_core_fabric_configfs.c work as expected.

valid value for pi_prot_type for backends not supporting DIF is 0, so allow
this particular value to be set without returning an error.
