commit 51093254bf879bc9ce96590400a87897c7498463 upstream.

Let the target core check task existence instead of the SRP target
driver. Additionally, let the target core check the validity of the
task management request instead of the ib_srpt driver.

This patch fixes the following kernel crash:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000001

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "This series contains HCH's changes to absorb configfs attribute
  -&gt;show() + -&gt;store() function pointer usage from it's original
  tree-wide consumers, into common configfs code.

  It includes usb-gadget, target w/ drivers, netconsole and ocfs2
  changes to realize the improved simplicity, that now renders the
  original include/target/configfs_macros.h CPP magic for fabric drivers
  and others, unnecessary and obsolete.

  And with common code in place, new configfs attributes can be added
  easier than ever before.

  Note, there are further improvements in-flight from other folks for
  v4.5 code in configfs land, plus number of target fixes for post -rc1
  code"

In the meantime, a new user of the now-removed old configfs API came in
through the char/misc tree in commit 7bd1d4093c2f ("stm class: Introduce
an abstraction for System Trace Module devices").

This merge resolution comes from Alexander Shishkin, who updated his stm
class tracing abstraction to account for the removal of the old
show_attribute and store_attribute methods in commit 517982229f78
("configfs: remove old API") from this pull.  As Alexander says about
that patch:

 "There's no need to keep an extra wrapper structure per item and the
  awkward show_attribute/store_attribute item ops are no longer needed.

  This patch converts policy code to the new api, all the while making
  the code quite a bit smaller and easier on the eyes.

  Signed-off-by: Alexander Shishkin &lt;alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com&gt;"

That patch was folded into the merge so that the tree should be fully
bisectable.

Adding an ability to query the IB cache by a netdev and get the
attributes of a GID. These parameters are necessary in order to
successfully resolve the required GID (when the netdevice is known)
and get the Ethernet L2 attributes from a GID.

<title>IB: split struct ib_send_wr</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch split up struct ib_send_wr so that all non-trivial verbs
use their own structure which embedds struct ib_send_wr.  This dramaticly
shrinks the size of a WR for most common operations:

sizeof(struct ib_send_wr) (old):	96

sizeof(struct ib_send_wr):		48
sizeof(struct ib_rdma_wr):		64
sizeof(struct ib_atomic_wr):		96
sizeof(struct ib_ud_wr):		88
sizeof(struct ib_fast_reg_wr):		88
sizeof(struct ib_bind_mw_wr):		96
sizeof(struct ib_sig_handover_wr):	80

And with Sagi's pending MR rework the fast registration WR will also be
down to a reasonable size:

sizeof(struct ib_fastreg_wr):		64

<title>IB/core: lock client data with lists_rwsem</title>

<content type='text'>
An ib_client callback that is called with the lists_rwsem locked only for
read is protected from changes to the IB client lists, but not from
ib_unregister_device() freeing its client data. This is because
ib_unregister_device() will remove the device from the device list with
lists_rwsem locked for write, but perform the rest of the cleanup,
including the call to remove() without that lock.

Mark client data that is undergoing de-registration with a new going_down
flag in the client data context. Lock the client data list with lists_rwsem
for write in addition to using the spinlock, so that functions calling the
callback would be able to lock only lists_rwsem for read and let callbacks
sleep.

Since ib_unregister_client() now marks the client data context, no need for
remove() to search the context again, so pass the client data directly to
remove() callbacks.

In little endian cases, the macro cpu_to_be{16,32,64} unfolds to
__swab{16,32,64} which provides special case for constants. In
big endian cases, __constant_cpu_to_be{16,32,64} and
cpu_to_be{16,32,64} expand directly to the same expression. So,
replace __constant_cpu_to_be{16,32,64} with cpu_to_be{16,32,64}
with the goal of getting rid of the definitions of
__constant_cpu_to_be{16,32,64} completely.

The Coccinelle semantic patch that performs this transformation
is as follows:

@@expression x;@@

(
- __constant_cpu_to_be16(x)
+ cpu_to_be16(x)
|
- __constant_cpu_to_be32(x)
+ cpu_to_be32(x)
|
- __constant_cpu_to_be64(x)
+ cpu_to_be64(x)
)
