<content type='text'>
This patch fixes I/O errors with the sym53c8xx_2 driver when the disk
returns QUEUE FULL status.

When the controller encounters an error (including QUEUE FULL or BUSY
status), it aborts all not yet submitted requests in the function
sym_dequeue_from_squeue.

This function aborts them with DID_SOFT_ERROR.

If the disk has full tag queue, the request that caused the overflow is
aborted with QUEUE FULL status (and the scsi midlayer properly retries
it until it is accepted by the disk), but the sym53c8xx_2 driver aborts
the following requests with DID_SOFT_ERROR --- for them, the midlayer
does just a few retries and then signals the error up to sd.

The result is that disk returning QUEUE FULL causes request failures.

The error was reproduced on 53c895 with COMPAQ BD03685A24 disk
(rebranded ST336607LC) with command queue 48 or 64 tags.  The disk has
64 tags, but under some access patterns it return QUEUE FULL when there
are less than 64 pending tags.  The SCSI specification allows returning
QUEUE FULL anytime and it is up to the host to retry.

Pull yet more networking updates from David Miller:

 1) Various fixes to the new Redpine Signals wireless driver, from
    Fariya Fatima.

 2) L2TP PPP connect code takes PMTU from the wrong socket, fix from
    Dmitry Petukhov.

 3) UFO and TSO packets differ in whether they include the protocol
    header in gso_size, account for that in skb_gso_transport_seglen().
   From Florian Westphal.

 4) If VLAN untagging fails, we double free the SKB in the bridging
    output path.  From Toshiaki Makita.

 5) Several call sites of sk-&gt;sk_data_ready() were referencing an SKB
    just added to the socket receive queue in order to calculate the
    second argument via skb-&gt;len.  This is dangerous because the moment
    the skb is added to the receive queue it can be consumed in another
    context and freed up.

    It turns out also that none of the sk-&gt;sk_data_ready()
    implementations even care about this second argument.

    So just kill it off and thus fix all these use-after-free bugs as a
    side effect.

 6) Fix inverted test in tcp_v6_send_response(), from Lorenzo Colitti.

 7) pktgen needs to do locking properly for LLTX devices, from Daniel
    Borkmann.

 8) xen-netfront driver initializes TX array entries in RX loop :-) From
    Vincenzo Maffione.

 9) After refactoring, some tunnel drivers allow a tunnel to be
    configured on top itself.  Fix from Nicolas Dichtel.

Several spots in the kernel perform a sequence like:

	skb_queue_tail(&amp;sk-&gt;s_receive_queue, skb);
	sk-&gt;sk_data_ready(sk, skb-&gt;len);

But at the moment we place the SKB onto the socket receive queue it
can be consumed and freed up.  So this skb-&gt;len access is potentially
to freed up memory.

Furthermore, the skb-&gt;len can be modified by the consumer so it is
possible that the value isn't accurate.

And finally, no actual implementation of this callback actually uses
the length argument.  And since nobody actually cared about it's
value, lots of call sites pass arbitrary values in such as '0' and
even '1'.

So just remove the length argument from the callback, that way there
is no confusion whatsoever and all of these use-after-free cases get
fixed as a side effect.

Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet and his suggestion to audit this
issue tree-wide.

async_schedule() sd resume work to allow disks and other devices to
resume in parallel.

This moves the entirety of scsi_device resume to an async context to
ensure that scsi_device_resume() remains ordered with respect to the
completion of the start/stop command.  For the duration of the resume,
new command submissions (that do not originate from the scsi-core) will
be deferred (BLKPREP_DEFER).

It adds a new ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE(scsi_sd_pm_domain) as a container
of these operations.  Like scsi_sd_probe_domain it is flushed at
sd_remove() time to ensure async ops do not continue past the
end-of-life of the sdev.  The implementation explicitly refrains from
reusing scsi_sd_probe_domain directly for this purpose as it is flushed
at the end of dpm_resume(), potentially defeating some of the benefit.
Given sdevs are quiesced it is permissible for these resume operations
to bleed past the async_synchronize_full() calls made by the driver
core.

We defer the resolution of which pm callback to call until
scsi_dev_type_{suspend|resume} time and guarantee that the callback
parameter is never NULL.  With this in place the type of resume
operation is encoded in the async function identifier.

There is a concern that async resume could trigger PSU overload.  In the
enterprise, storage enclosures enforce staggered spin-up regardless of
what the kernel does making async scanning safe by default.  Outside of
that context a user can disable asynchronous scanning via a kernel
command line or CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC.  Honor that setting when
deciding whether to do resume asynchronously.

Inspired by Todd's analysis and initial proposal [2]:

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A small collection of fixes that should go in before -rc1.  The pull
  request contains:

   - A two patch fix for a regression with block enabled tagging caused
     by a commit in the initial pull request.  One patch is from Martin
     and ensures that SCSI doesn't truncate 64-bit block flags, the
     other one is from me and prevents us from double using struct
     request queuelist for both completion and busy tags.  This caused
     anything from a boot crash for some, to crashes under load.

   - A blk-mq fix for a potential soft stall when hot unplugging CPUs
     with busy IO.

   - percpu_counter fix is listed in here, that caused a suspend issue
     with virtio-blk due to percpu counters having an inconsistent state
     during CPU removal.  Andrew sent this in separately a few days ago,
     but it's here.  JFYI.

   - A few fixes for block integrity from Martin.

   - A ratelimit fix for loop from Mike Galbraith, to avoid spewing too
     much in error cases"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: fix regression with block enabled tagging
  scsi: Make sure cmd_flags are 64-bit
  block: Ensure we only enable integrity metadata for reads and writes
  block: Fix integrity verification
  block: Fix for_each_bvec()
  drivers/block/loop.c: ratelimit error messages
  blk-mq: fix potential stall during CPU unplug with IO pending
  percpu_counter: fix bad counter state during suspend

cmd_flags in struct request is now 64 bits wide but the scsi_execute
functions truncated arguments passed to int leading to errors. Make sure
the flags parameters are u64.

Pull CPU hotplug notifiers registration fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The purpose of this single series of commits from Srivatsa S Bhat
  (with a small piece from Gautham R Shenoy) touching multiple
  subsystems that use CPU hotplug notifiers is to provide a way to
  register them that will not lead to deadlocks with CPU online/offline
  operations as described in the changelog of commit 93ae4f978ca7f ("CPU
  hotplug: Provide lockless versions of callback registration
  functions").

  The first three commits in the series introduce the API and document
  it and the rest simply goes through the users of CPU hotplug notifiers
  and converts them to using the new method"

<title>target: Pass in transport supported PI at session initialization</title>

In order to support local WRITE_INSERT + READ_STRIP operations for
non PI enabled fabrics, the fabric driver needs to be able signal
what protection offload operations are supported.

This is done at session initialization time so the modes can be
signaled by individual se_wwn + se_portal_group endpoints, as well
as optionally across different transports on the same endpoint.

For iser-target, set TARGET_PROT_ALL if the underlying ib_device
has already signaled PI offload support, and allow this to be
exposed via a new iscsit_transport-&gt;iscsit_get_sup_prot_ops()
callback.

For loopback, set TARGET_PROT_ALL to signal SCSI initiator mode
operation.

For all other drivers, set TARGET_PROT_NORMAL to disable fabric
level PI.
