<content type='text'>
Replace the session lock with two locks, a forward lock and
a backwards lock named frwd_lock and back_lock respectively.

The forward lock protects resources that change while sending a
request to the target, such as cmdsn, queued_cmdsn, and allocating
task from the commands' pool with kfifo_out.

The backward lock protects resources that change while processing
a response or in error path, such as cmdsn_exp, cmdsn_max, and
returning tasks to the commands' pool with kfifo_in.

Under a steady state fast-path situation, that is when one
or more processes/threads submit IO to an iscsi device and
a single kernel upcall (e.g softirq) is dealing with processing
of responses without errors, this patch eliminates the contention
between the queuecommand()/request response/scsi_done() flows
associated with iscsi sessions.

Between the forward and the backward locks exists a strict locking
hierarchy. The mutual exclusion zone protected by the forward lock can
enclose the mutual exclusion zone protected by the backward lock but not
vice versa.

For example, in iscsi_conn_teardown or in iscsi_xmit_data when there is
a failure and __iscsi_put_task is called, the backward lock is taken while
the forward lock is still taken. On the other hand, if in the RX path a nop
is to be sent, for example in iscsi_handle_reject or __iscsi_complete_pdu
than the forward lock is released and the backward lock is taken for the
duration of iscsi_send_nopout, later the backward lock is released and the
forward lock is retaken.

libiscsi_tcp uses two kernel fifos the r2t pool and the r2t queue.

The insertion and deletion from these queues didn't corespond to the
assumption taken by the new forward/backwards session locking paradigm.

That is, in iscsi_tcp_clenup_task which belongs to the RX (backwards)
path, r2t is taken out from r2t queue and inserted to the r2t pool.
In iscsi_tcp_get_curr_r2t which belong to the TX (forward) path, r2t
is also inserted to the r2t pool and another r2t is pulled from r2t
queue.

Only in iscsi_tcp_r2t_rsp which is called in the RX path but can requeue
to the TX path, r2t is taken from the r2t pool and inserted to the r2t
queue.

In order to cope with this situation, two spin locks were added,
pool2queue and queue2pool. The former protects extracting from the
r2t pool and inserting to the r2t queue, and the later protects the
extracing from the r2t queue and inserting to the r2t pool.

<title>[SCSI] libiscsi: Restructure iscsi_tcp r2t response logic</title>

<content type='text'>
Restructure the iscsi_tcp_r2t_rsp routine in order to avoid allocating
r2t from r2tpool.queue and returning it back in case the parameters
rhdr-&gt;data_length and or rhdr-&gt;data_offset prohibit the requing.

Since the values of these parameters are known prior to the allocation,
we can pre-check and thus avoid futile allocations.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
 "This is a re-do of the net-next pull request for the current merge
  window.  The only difference from the one I made the other day is that
  this has Eliezer's interface renames and the timeout handling changes
  made based upon your feedback, as well as a few bug fixes that have
  trickeled in.

  Highlights:

   1) Low latency device polling, eliminating the cost of interrupt
      handling and context switches.  Allows direct polling of a network
      device from socket operations, such as recvmsg() and poll().

      Currently ixgbe, mlx4, and bnx2x support this feature.

      Full high level description, performance numbers, and design in
      commit 0a4db187a999 ("Merge branch 'll_poll'")

      From Eliezer Tamir.

   2) With the routing cache removed, ip_check_mc_rcu() gets exercised
      more than ever before in the case where we have lots of multicast
      addresses.  Use a hash table instead of a simple linked list, from
      Eric Dumazet.

   3) Add driver for Atheros CQA98xx 802.11ac wireless devices, from
      Bartosz Markowski, Janusz Dziedzic, Kalle Valo, Marek Kwaczynski,
      Marek Puzyniak, Michal Kazior, and Sujith Manoharan.

   4) Support reporting the TUN device persist flag to userspace, from
      Pavel Emelyanov.

   5) Allow controlling network device VF link state using netlink, from
      Rony Efraim.

   6) Support GRE tunneling in openvswitch, from Pravin B Shelar.

   7) Adjust SOCK_MIN_RCVBUF and SOCK_MIN_SNDBUF for modern times, from
      Daniel Borkmann and Eric Dumazet.

   8) Allow controlling of TCP quickack behavior on a per-route basis,
      from Cong Wang.

   9) Several bug fixes and improvements to vxlan from Stephen
      Hemminger, Pravin B Shelar, and Mike Rapoport.  In particular,
      support receiving on multiple UDP ports.

  10) Major cleanups, particular in the area of debugging and cookie
      lifetime handline, to the SCTP protocol code.  From Daniel
      Borkmann.

  11) Allow packets to cross network namespaces when traversing tunnel
      devices.  From Nicolas Dichtel.

  12) Allow monitoring netlink traffic via AF_PACKET sockets, in a
      manner akin to how we monitor real network traffic via ptype_all.
      From Daniel Borkmann.

  13) Several bug fixes and improvements for the new alx device driver,
      from Johannes Berg.

  14) Fix scalability issues in the netem packet scheduler's time queue,
      by using an rbtree.  From Eric Dumazet.

  15) Several bug fixes in TCP loss recovery handling, from Yuchung
      Cheng.

  16) Add support for GSO segmentation of MPLS packets, from Simon
      Horman.

  17) Make network notifiers have a real data type for the opaque
      pointer that's passed into them.  Use this to properly handle
      network device flag changes in arp_netdev_event().  From Jiri
      Pirko and Timo Teräs.

  18) Convert several drivers over to module_pci_driver(), from Peter
      Huewe.

  19) tcp_fixup_rcvbuf() can loop 500 times over loopback, just use a
      O(1) calculation instead.  From Eric Dumazet.

  20) Support setting of explicit tunnel peer addresses in ipv6, just
      like ipv4.  From Nicolas Dichtel.

  21) Protect x86 BPF JIT against spraying attacks, from Eric Dumazet.

  22) Prevent a single high rate flow from overruning an individual cpu
      during RX packet processing via selective flow shedding.  From
      Willem de Bruijn.

  23) Don't use spinlocks in TCP md5 signing fast paths, from Eric
      Dumazet.

  24) Don't just drop GSO packets which are above the TBF scheduler's
      burst limit, chop them up so they are in-bounds instead.  Also
      from Eric Dumazet.

  25) VLAN offloads are missed when configured on top of a bridge, fix
      from Vlad Yasevich.

  26) Support IPV6 in ping sockets.  From Lorenzo Colitti.

  27) Receive flow steering targets should be updated at poll() time
      too, from David Majnemer.

  28) Fix several corner case regressions in PMTU/redirect handling due
      to the routing cache removal, from Timo Teräs.

  29) We have to be mindful of ipv4 mapped ipv6 sockets in
      upd_v6_push_pending_frames().  From Hannes Frederic Sowa.

  30) Fix L2TP sequence number handling bugs, from James Chapman."

Callers of skb_seq_read() are currently forced to call skb_abort_seq_read()
even when consuming all the data because the last call to skb_seq_read (the
one that returns 0 to indicate the end) fails to unmap the last fragment page.

With this patch callers will be allowed to traverse the SKB data by calling
skb_prepare_seq_read() once and repeatedly calling skb_seq_read() as originally
intended (and documented in the original commit 677e90eda), that is, only call
skb_abort_seq_read() if the sequential read is actually aborted.

SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "The update includes the usual assortment of driver updates (lpfc,
  qla2xxx, qla4xxx, bfa, bnx2fc, bnx2i, isci, fcoe, hpsa) plus a huge
  amount of infrastructure work in the SAS library and transport class
  as well as an iSCSI update.  There's also a new SCSI based virtio
  driver."

Problem description from Xi Wang:
A large max_r2t could lead to integer overflow in subsequent call to
iscsi_tcp_r2tpool_alloc(), allocating a smaller buffer than expected
and leading to out-of-bounds write.

<title>scsi: Fix up files implicitly depending on module.h inclusion</title>

The module.h header was implicitly present everywhere, so files
with no explicit include of the module infrastructure would build
anyway.  We are now removing the implicit include, and so we need
to call out the module.h file that we need explicitly.

Have libiscsi_tcp have upper layers allocate the LLD data
along with the iscsi_cls_conn struct, so it is refcounted.
