commit aa179935edea9a64dec4b757090c8106a3907ffa upstream.

This patch adds a check to sbc_parse_cdb() in order to detect when
an LBA + sector vs. end-of-device calculation wraps when the LBA is
sufficently large enough (eg: 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF).

commit 8e575c50a171f2579e367a7f778f86477dfdaf49 upstream.

This patch adds a check to sbc_setup_write_same() to verify
the incoming WRITE_SAME LBA + number of blocks does not exceed
past the end-of-device.

Also check for potential LBA wrap-around as well.

<title>target: Fix PR_APTPL_BUF_LEN buffer size limitation</title>

commit f161d4b44d7cc1dc66b53365215227db356378b1 upstream.

This patch addresses the original PR_APTPL_BUF_LEN = 8k limitiation
for write-out of PR APTPL metadata that Martin has recently been
running into.

It changes core_scsi3_update_and_write_aptpl() to use vzalloc'ed
memory instead of kzalloc, and increases the default hardcoded
length to 256k.

It also adds logic in core_scsi3_update_and_write_aptpl() to double
the original length upon core_scsi3_update_aptpl_buf() failure, and
retries until the vzalloc'ed buffer is large enough to accommodate
the outgoing APTPL metadata.

<title>iscsi-target: Drop problematic active_ts_list usage</title>

commit 3fd7b60f2c7418239d586e359e0c6d8503e10646 upstream.

This patch drops legacy active_ts_list usage within iscsi_target_tq.c
code.  It was originally used to track the active thread sets during
iscsi-target shutdown, and is no longer used by modern upstream code.

Two people have reported list corruption using traditional iscsi-target
and iser-target with the following backtrace, that appears to be related
to iscsi_thread_set-&gt;ts_list being used across both active_ts_list and
inactive_ts_list.

For PGR reservation of type Write Exclusive Access, allow all non

from the device.

This addresses a bug where active registrations that attempted
to READ would result in an reservation conflict.

<id>046ba64285a4389ae5e9a7dfa253c6bff3d7c341</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch drops the arbitrary maximum I/O size limit in sbc_parse_cdb(),
which currently for fabric_max_sectors is hardcoded to 8192 (4 MB for 512
byte sector devices), and for hw_max_sectors is a backend driver dependent
value.

This limit is problematic because Linux initiators have only recently
started to honor block limits MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH, and other non-Linux
based initiators (eg: MSFT Fibre Channel) can also generate I/Os larger
than 4 MB in size.

Currently when this happens, the following message will appear on the
target resulting in I/Os being returned with non recoverable status:

  SCSI OP 28h with too big sectors 16384 exceeds fabric_max_sectors: 8192

Instead, drop both [fabric,hw]_max_sector checks in sbc_parse_cdb(),
and convert the existing hw_max_sectors into a purely informational
attribute used to represent the granuality that backend driver and/or
subsystem code is splitting I/Os upon.

Also, update FILEIO with an explicit FD_MAX_BYTES check in fd_execute_rw()
to deal with the one special iovec limitiation case.

v2 changes:
  - Drop hw_max_sectors check in sbc_parse_cdb()

Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "The highlights this merge window include:

   - Allow target fabric drivers to function as built-in.  (Roland)
   - Fix tcm_loop multi-TPG endpoint nexus bug.  (Hannes)
   - Move per device config_item_type into se_subsystem_api, allowing
     configfs attributes to be defined at module_init time.  (Jerome +
     nab)
   - Convert existing IBLOCK/FILEIO/RAMDISK/PSCSI/TCMU drivers to use
     external configfs attributes.  (nab)
   - A number of iser-target fixes related to active session + network
     portal shutdown stability during extended stress testing.  (Sagi +
     Slava)
   - Dynamic allocation of T10-PI contexts for iser-target, fixing a
     potentially bogus iscsi_np-&gt;tpg_np pointer reference in &gt;= v3.14
     code.  (Sagi)
   - iser-target performance + scalability improvements.  (Sagi)
   - Fixes for SPC-4 Persistent Reservation AllRegistrants spec
     compliance.  (Ilias + James + nab)
   - Avoid potential short kern_sendmsg() in iscsi-target for now until
     Al's conversion to use msghdr iteration is merged post -rc1.
     (Viro)

  Also, Sagi has requested a number of iser-target patches (9) that
  address stability issues he's encountered during extended stress
  testing be considered for v3.10.y + v3.14.y code.  Given the amount of
  LOC involved, it will certainly require extra backporting effort.

  Apologies in advance to Greg-KH &amp; Co on this.  Sagi and I will be
  working post-merge to ensure they each get applied correctly"
