commit e692cb668fdd5a712c6ed2a2d6f2a36ee83997b4 upstream.

When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
metadevice.

There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.

The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

commit 7873ca4e4401f0ecd8868bf1543113467e6bae61 upstream.

The port data structure related to fc_host statistics collection is
not initialized. This causes system crash when reading the fc_host
statistics. The fix is to initialize port structure during driver
attach.

commit 986fe6c7f50974e871b8ab5a800f5310ea25b361 upstream.

Deleting a SCSI device on a blocked fc_remote_port (before
fast_io_fail_tmo fires) results in a hanging thread:

  STACK:
  0 schedule+1108 [0x5cac48]
  1 schedule_timeout+528 [0x5cb7fc]

16 worker_thread+622 [0x162326]
17 kthread+160 [0x1680b0]
18 kernel_thread_starter+6 [0x10aaea]

During the delete, the SCSI device is in moved to SDEV_CANCEL.  When
the FC transport class later calls scsi_target_unblock, this has no
effect, since scsi_internal_device_unblock ignores SCSI devics in this
state.

It looks like all these are regressions caused by:

[SCSI] limit state transitions in scsi_internal_device_unblock

The function __scsi_remove_target iterates through the SCSI devices on
the host, but it drops the host_lock before calling
scsi_remove_device. When the SCSI device is deleted from another
thread, the pointer to the SCSI device in scsi_remove_device can
become invalid. Fix this by getting a reference to the SCSI device
before dropping the host_lock to keep the SCSI device alive for the
call to scsi_remove_device.

commit f63ae56e4e97fb12053590e41a4fa59e7daa74a4 upstream.

gdth_ioctl_alloc() takes the size variable as an int.
copy_from_user() takes the size variable as an unsigned long.
gen.data_len and gen.sense_len are unsigned longs.
On x86_64 longs are 64 bit and ints are 32 bit.

We could pass in a very large number and the allocation would truncate
the size to 32 bits and allocate a small buffer.  Then when we do the
copy_from_user(), it would result in a memory corruption.

commit f63ae56e4e97fb12053590e41a4fa59e7daa74a4 upstream.

gdth_ioctl_alloc() takes the size variable as an int.
copy_from_user() takes the size variable as an unsigned long.
gen.data_len and gen.sense_len are unsigned longs.
On x86_64 longs are 64 bit and ints are 32 bit.

We could pass in a very large number and the allocation would truncate
the size to 32 bits and allocate a small buffer.  Then when we do the
copy_from_user(), it would result in a memory corruption.

commit f0ad30d3d2dc924decc0e10b1ff6dc32525a5d99 upstream.

Some cards (like mvsas) have issue troubles if non-NCQ commands are
mixed with NCQ ones.  Fix this by using the libata default NCQ check
routine which waits until all NCQ commands are complete before issuing
a non-NCQ one.  The impact to cards (like aic94xx) which don't need
this logic should be minimal

commit 1a03ae0f556a931aa3747b70e44b78308f5b0590 upstream.

Following a site power outage which re-enabled all the ports on my FC
switches, my system subsequently booted with far too many luns!  I had
let it run hoping it would make multi-user.  It didn't.  :(  It hung solid
after exhausting the last sd device, sdzzz, and attempting to create sdaaaa
and beyond.  I was unable to get a dump.

Discovered using a 2.6.32.13 based system.

correct this by detecting when the last index is utilized and failing
the sd probe of the device.  Patch applies to scsi-misc-2.6.

commit daa142d1773dd3a986f02a8a4da929608d24daaa upstream.

If a command times out resulting in EH getting invoked, we wait for the
aborted commands to come back after sending the abort. Shorten
the amount of time we wait for these responses, to ensure we don't
get stuck in EH for several minutes.

commit f5832fa2f8dc39adcf3ae348d2d6383163235e79 upstream.

Commands which are completed by the VIOS are placed on a CRQ
in kernel memory for the ibmvfc driver to process. Each CRQ
entry is 16 bytes. The ibmvfc driver reads the first 8 bytes
to check if the entry is valid, then reads the next 8 bytes to get
the handle, which is a pointer the completed command. This fixes
an issue seen on Power 7 where the processor reordered the
loads from memory, resulting in processing command completion
with a stale handle. This could result in command timeouts,
and also early completion of commands.

commit 8a52da632ceb9d8b776494563df579e87b7b586b upstream.

The debugging code using the freed structure is moved before the kfree.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@free@
expression E;
position p;
@@
kfree@p(E)

expression free.E, subE&lt;=free.E, E1;
