commit bf6932f44a7b3fa7e2246a8b18a44670e5eab6c2 upstream.

From Al Viro:

	BTW, speaking of struct file treatment related to sockets -
        there's this piece of code in iscsi:
        /*
         * The SCTP stack needs struct socket-&gt;file.
         */
        if ((np-&gt;np_network_transport == ISCSI_SCTP_TCP) ||
            (np-&gt;np_network_transport == ISCSI_SCTP_UDP)) {
                if (!new_sock-&gt;file) {
                        new_sock-&gt;file = kzalloc(
                                        sizeof(struct file), GFP_KERNEL);

For one thing, as far as I can see it'not true - sctp does *not* depend on
socket-&gt;file being non-NULL; it does, in one place, check socket-&gt;file-&gt;f_flags
for O_NONBLOCK, but there it treats NULL socket-&gt;file as "flag not set".
Which is the case here anyway - the fake struct file created in
__iscsi_target_login_thread() (and in iscsi_target_setup_login_socket(), with
the same excuse) do *not* get that flag set.

Moreover, it's a bloody serious violation of a bunch of asserts in VFS;
all struct file instances should come from filp_cachep, via get_empty_filp()
(or alloc_file(), which is a wrapper for it).  FWIW, I'm very tempted to
do this and be done with the entire mess:

commit e2397c704429025bc6b331a970f699e52f34283e upstream.

Many SCSI commands are defined to return a CHECK CONDITION / ILLEGAL
REQUEST with ASC set to LOGICAL BLOCK ADDRESS OUT OF RANGE if the
initiator sends a command that accesses a too-big LBA.  Add an enum
value and case entries so that target code can return this status.

<title>target: Fix range calculation in WRITE SAME emulation when num blocks == 0</title>

<id>1765fe5edcb83f53fc67edeb559fcf4bc82c6460</id>
<content type='text'>
When NUMBER OF LOGICAL BLOCKS is 0, WRITE SAME is supposed to write
all the blocks from the specified LBA through the end of the device.
However, dev-&gt;transport-&gt;get_blocks(dev) (perhaps confusingly) returns
the last valid LBA rather than the number of blocks, so the correct
number of blocks to write starting with lba is

dev-&gt;transport-&gt;get_blocks(dev) - lba + 1

<title>tcm_fc: Fix crash seen with aborts and large reads</title>

<id>3cc5d2a6b9a2fd1bf024aa5e52dd22961eecaf13</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes a crash seen when large reads have their exchange
aborted by either timing out or being reset. Because the exchange
abort results in the seq pointer being set to NULL, because the
sequence is no longer valid, it must not be dereferenced. This
patch changes the function ft_get_task_tag to return ~0 if it is
unable to get the tag for this reason. Because the get_task_tag
interface provides no means of returning an error, this seems
like the best way to fix this issue at the moment.

<title>target: Return error to initiator if SET TARGET PORT GROUPS emulation fails</title>

<content type='text'>
The error paths in target_emulate_set_target_port_groups() are all
essentially "rc = -EINVAL; goto out;" but the code at "out:" ignores
rc and always returns success.  This means that even if eg explicit
ALUA is turned off, the initiator will always see a good SCSI status
for SET TARGET PORT GROUPS.

Fix this by returning rc as is intended.  It appears this bug was
added by the following patch:

<title>target/file: Use O_DSYNC by default for FILEIO backends</title>

<id>a4dff3043c231d57f982af635c9d2192ee40e5ae</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert to use O_DSYNC for all cases at FILEIO backend creation time to
avoid the extra syncing of pure timestamp updates with legacy O_SYNC during
default operation as recommended by hch.  Continue to do this independently of
Write Cache Enable (WCE) bit, as WCE=0 is currently the default for all backend
devices and enabled by user on per device basis via attrib/emulate_write_cache.

This patch drops the now unnecessary fd_buffered_io= token usage that was
originally signalling when to explictly disable O_SYNC at backend creation
time for buffered I/O operation.  This can end up being dangerous for a number
of reasons during physical node failure, so go ahead and drop this option
for now when O_DSYNC is used as the default.

Also allow explict FUA WRITEs -&gt; vfs_fsync_range() call to function in
fd_execute_cmd() independently of WCE bit setting.
