commit 256d0eaac87da1e993190846064f339f4c7a63f5 upstream.

If a command status of CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR is received, this
information should be conveyed to the SCSI mid layer, not
dropped on the floor.  CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR may be received
from the Smart Array for any commands destined for an external
RAID controller such as a P2000, or commands destined for tape
drives or CD/DVD-ROM drives, if for instance a cable is
disconnected.  This mostly affects multipath configurations, as
disconnecting a cable on a non-multipath configuration is not
going to do anything good regardless of whether CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR
is handled correctly or not.  Not handling CMD_PROTOCOL_ERR
correctly in a multipath configaration involving external RAID
controllers may cause data corruption, so this is quite a serious
bug.  This bug should not normally cause a problem for direct
attached disk storage.

<title>SCSI: bnx2i: Fixed NULL ptr deference for 1G bnx2 Linux iSCSI offload</title>

commit d6532207116307eb7ecbfa7b9e02c53230096a50 upstream.

This patch fixes the following kernel panic invoked by uninitialized fields
in the chip initialization for the 1G bnx2 iSCSI offload.

One of the bits in the chip initialization is being used by the latest
firmware to control overflow packets.  When this control bit gets enabled
erroneously, it would ultimately result in a bad packet placement which would
cause the bnx2 driver to dereference a NULL ptr in the placement handler.

This can happen under certain stress I/O environment under the Linux
iSCSI offload operation.

This change only affects Broadcom's 5709 chipset.

This patch checks whether HBA is SAS2008 B0 controller.
if it is a SAS2008 B0 controller then it use IO-APIC interrupt instead of MSIX,
as SAS2008 B0 controller doesn't support MSIX interrupts.

commit 14216561e164671ce147458653b1fea06a4ada1e upstream.

This is a particularly nasty SCSI ATA Translation Layer (SATL) problem.

SAT-2 says (section 8.12.2)

        if the device is in the stopped state as the result of
        processing a START STOP UNIT command (see 9.11), then the SATL
        shall terminate the TEST UNIT READY command with CHECK CONDITION
        status with the sense key set to NOT READY and the additional
        sense code of LOGICAL UNIT NOT READY, INITIALIZING COMMAND
        REQUIRED;

mpt2sas internal SATL seems to implement this.  The result is very confusing
standby behaviour (using hdparm -y).  If you suspend a drive and then send
another command, usually it wakes up.  However, if the next command is a TEST
UNIT READY, the SATL sees that the drive is suspended and proceeds to follow
the SATL rules for this, returning NOT READY to all subsequent commands.  This
means that the ordering of TEST UNIT READY is crucial: if you send TUR and
then a command, you get a NOT READY to both back.  If you send a command and
then a TUR, you get GOOD status because the preceeding command woke the drive.

This bit us badly because

Author: Tejun Heo &lt;tj@kernel.org&gt;
Date:   Fri Jul 1 16:17:47 2011 +0200

    block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2)

Changed our ordering on TEST UNIT READY commands meaning that SATA drives
connected to an mpt2sas now suspend and refuse to wake (because the mpt2sas
SATL sees the suspend *before* the drives get awoken by the next ATA command)
resulting in lots of failed commands.

The standard is completely nuts forcing this inconsistent behaviour, but we
have to work around it.

The fix for this is twofold:

   1. Set the allow_restart flag so we wake the drive when we see it has been
      suspended

   2. Return all TEST UNIT READY status directly to the mid layer without any
      further error handling which prevents us causing error handling which
      may offline the device just because of a media check TUR.

<title>SCSI: mpt2sas: Fix for Driver oops, when loading driver with max_queue_depth command line option to a very small value</title>

commit 338b131a3269881c7431234855c93c219b0979b6 upstream.

If the specified max_queue_depth setting is less than the
expected number of internal commands, then driver will calculate
the queue depth size to a negitive number. This negitive number
is actually a very large number because variable is unsigned
16bit integer. So, the driver will ask for a very large amount of
memory for message frames and resulting into oops as memory
allocation routines will not able to handle such a large request.

So, in order to limit this kind of oops, The driver need to set
the max_queue_depth to a scsi mid layer's can_queue value. Then
the overall message frames required for IO is minimum of either
(max_queue_depth plus internal commands) or the IOC global
credits.

commit bd8d6dd43a77bfd2b8fef5b094b9d6095e169dee upstream.

The following patch moves the poll_aen_lock initializer from
megasas_probe_one() to megasas_init().  This prevents a crash when a user
loads the driver and tries to issue a poll() system call on the ioctl
interface with no adapters present.

commit 940f5d47e2f2e1fa00443921a0abf4822335b54d upstream.

When we call scsi_unprep_request() the command associated with the request
gets destroyed and therefore drops its reference on the device.  If this was
the only reference, the device may get released and we end up with a NULL
pointer deref when we call blk_requeue_request.

commit 3b661a92e869ebe2358de8f4b3230ad84f7fce51 upstream.

The following crash results from cases where the end_device has been
removed before scsi_sysfs_add_sdev has had a chance to run.

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000098

<title>SCSI: fix eh wakeup (scsi_schedule_eh vs scsi_restart_operations)</title>

commit 57fc2e335fd3c2f898ee73570dc81426c28dc7b4 upstream.

Rapid ata hotplug on a libsas controller results in cases where libsas
is waiting indefinitely on eh to perform an ata probe.

A race exists between scsi_schedule_eh() and scsi_restart_operations()
in the case when scsi_restart_operations() issues i/o to other devices
in the sas domain.  When this happens the host state transitions from
SHOST_RECOVERY (set by scsi_schedule_eh) back to SHOST_RUNNING and
-&gt;host_busy is non-zero so we put the eh thread to sleep even though
-&gt;host_eh_scheduled is active.

Before putting the error handler to sleep we need to check if the
host_state needs to return to SHOST_RECOVERY for another trip through
eh.  Since i/o that is released by scsi_restart_operations has been
blocked for at least one eh cycle, this implementation allows those
i/o's to run before another eh cycle starts to discourage hung task
timeouts.

commit b17caa174a7e1fd2e17b26e210d4ee91c4c28b37 upstream.

commit 198439e4 [SCSI] libsas: do not set res = 0 in sas_ex_discover_dev()
commit 19252de6 [SCSI] libsas: fix wide port hotplug issues

The above commits seem to have confused the return value of
sas_ex_discover_dev which is non-zero on failure and
sas_ex_join_wide_port which just indicates short circuiting discovery on
already established ports.  The result is random discovery failures
depending on configuration.

Calls to sas_ex_join_wide_port are the source of the trouble as its
return value is errantly assigned to 'res'.  Convert it to bool and stop
returning its result up the stack.
