<content type='text'>
Fix a memory leak with scsi-mq triggered by commands with large data
transfer length.

__sg_alloc_table() sets both table-&gt;nents and table-&gt;orig_nents to the
same value.  When the scatterlist is DMA-mapped, table-&gt;nents is
overwritten with the (possibly smaller) size of the DMA-mapped
scatterlist, while table-&gt;orig_nents retains the original size of the
allocated scatterlist.  scsi_free_sgtable() should therefore check
orig_nents instead of nents, and all code that initializes sdb-&gt;table
without calling __sg_alloc_table() should set both nents and orig_nents.

Fixes: d285203cf647 ("scsi: add support for a blk-mq based I/O path.")

<title>Defer processing of REQ_PREEMPT requests for blocked devices</title>

<content type='text'>
SCSI transport drivers and SCSI LLDs block a SCSI device if the
transport layer is not operational. This means that in this state
no requests should be processed, even if the REQ_PREEMPT flag has
been set. This patch avoids that a rescan shortly after a cable
pull sporadically triggers the following kernel oops:

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains:

   - A series from Christoph that cleans up and refactors various parts
     of the REQ_BLOCK_PC handling.  Contributions in that series from
     Dongsu Park and Kent Overstreet as well.

   - CFQ:
        - A bug fix for cfq for realtime IO scheduling from Jeff Moyer.
        - A stable patch fixing a potential crash in CFQ in OOM
          situations.  From Konstantin Khlebnikov.

   - blk-mq:
        - Add support for tag allocation policies, from Shaohua. This is
          a prep patch enabling libata (and other SCSI parts) to use the
          blk-mq tagging, instead of rolling their own.
        - Various little tweaks from Keith and Mike, in preparation for
          DM blk-mq support.
        - Minor little fixes or tweaks from me.
        - A double free error fix from Tony Battersby.

   - The partition 4k issue fixes from Matthew and Boaz.

   - Add support for zero+unprovision for blkdev_issue_zeroout() from
     Martin"

This is the blk-mq part to support tag allocation policy. The default
allocation policy isn't changed (though it's not a strict FIFO). The new
policy is round-robin for libata. But it's a try-best implementation. If
multiple tasks are competing, the tags returned will be mixed (which is
unavoidable even with !mq, as requests from different tasks can be
mixed in queue)

This can happen if a multipathed device uses DIX and another path is
added via an adapter that does not support it.  Multipath should not
allow this path to be added, but we should not depend upon that to avoid
crashing.

The blk-mq -&gt;queue_rq method is always called from process context,
but might have preemption disabled.  This means we still always
have to use GFP_ATOMIC for memory allocations, and thus need to
revert part of commit 3c356bde1 ("scsi: stop passing a gfp_mask

<title>scsi: fix random memory corruption with scsi-mq + T10 PI</title>

This fixes random memory corruption triggered when all three of the
following are true:

* scsi-mq enabled
* T10 Protection Information (DIF) enabled
* SCSI host with sg_tablesize &gt; SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS (128)

The symptoms of this bug are unpredictable memory corruption, BUG()s,
oopses, lockups, etc., any of which may appear to be completely
unrelated to the root cause.

Pull block driver core update from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the pull request for the core block IO changes for 3.19.  Not
  a huge round this time, mostly lots of little good fixes:

   - Fix a bug in sysfs blktrace interface causing a NULL pointer
     dereference, when enabled/disabled through that API.  From Arianna
     Avanzini.

   - Various updates/fixes/improvements for blk-mq:

        - A set of updates from Bart, mostly fixing buts in the tag
          handling.

        - Cleanup/code consolidation from Christoph.

        - Extend queue_rq API to be able to handle batching issues of IO
          requests. NVMe will utilize this shortly. From me.

        - A few tag and request handling updates from me.

        - Cleanup of the preempt handling for running queues from Paolo.

        - Prevent running of unmapped hardware queues from Ming Lei.

        - Move the kdump memory limiting check to be in the correct
          location, from Shaohua.

        - Initialize all software queues at init time from Takashi. This
          prevents a kobject warning when CPUs are brought online that
          weren't online when a queue was registered.

   - Single writeback fix for I_DIRTY clearing from Tejun.  Queued with
     the core IO changes, since it's just a single fix.

   - Version X of the __bio_add_page() segment addition retry from
     Maurizio.  Hope the Xth time is the charm.

   - Documentation fixup for IO scheduler merging from Jan.

   - Introduce (and use) generic IO stat accounting helpers for non-rq
     drivers, from Gu Zheng.

   - Kill off artificial limiting of max sectors in a request from
     Christoph"

* 'for-3.19/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (26 commits)
  bio: modify __bio_add_page() to accept pages that don't start a new segment
  blk-mq: Fix uninitialized kobject at CPU hotplugging
  blktrace: don't let the sysfs interface remove trace from running list
  blk-mq: Use all available hardware queues
  blk-mq: Micro-optimize bt_get()
  blk-mq: Fix a race between bt_clear_tag() and bt_get()
  blk-mq: Avoid that __bt_get_word() wraps multiple times
  blk-mq: Fix a use-after-free
  blk-mq: prevent unmapped hw queue from being scheduled
  blk-mq: re-check for available tags after running the hardware queue
  blk-mq: fix hang in bt_get()
  blk-mq: move the kdump check to blk_mq_alloc_tag_set
  blk-mq: cleanup tag free handling
  blk-mq: use 'nr_cpu_ids' as highest CPU ID count for hwq &lt;-&gt; cpu map
  blk: introduce generic io stat accounting help function
  blk-mq: handle the single queue case in blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu
  genhd: check for int overflow in disk_expand_part_tbl()
  blk-mq: add blk_mq_free_hctx_request()
  blk-mq: export blk_mq_free_request()
  blk-mq: use get_cpu/put_cpu instead of preempt_disable/preempt_enable

scsi_lib.c is where the rest of the I/O submission path lives, so move
scsi_dispatch_cmd there and mark it static.

<title>scsi: stop passing a gfp_mask argument down the command setup path</title>

There is no reason for ULDs to pass in a flag on how to allocate the S/G
lists.  While we don't need GFP_ATOMIC for the blk-mq case because we
don't hold locks, that decision can be made way down the chain without
having to pass a pointless gfp_mask argument.
