<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This patch fixes a bug associated with iscsit_reset_np_thread()
that can occur during parallel configfs rmdir of a single iscsi_np
used across multiple iscsi-target instances, that would result in
hung task(s) similar to below where configfs rmdir process context
was blocked indefinately waiting for iscsi_np-&gt;np_restart_comp
to finish:

It would happen because each iscsit_reset_np_thread() sets state
to ISCSI_NP_THREAD_RESET, sends SIGINT, and then blocks waiting
for completion on iscsi_np-&gt;np_restart_comp.

However, if iscsi_np was active processing a login request and
more than a single iscsit_reset_np_thread() caller to the same
iscsi_np was blocked on iscsi_np-&gt;np_restart_comp, iscsi_np
kthread process context in __iscsi_target_login_thread() would
flush pending signals and only perform a single completion of
np-&gt;np_restart_comp before going back to sleep within transport
specific iscsit_transport-&gt;iscsi_accept_np code.

To address this bug, add a iscsi_np-&gt;np_reset_count and update
__iscsi_target_login_thread() to keep completing np-&gt;np_restart_comp
until -&gt;np_reset_count has reached zero.

It would happen because each iscsit_reset_np_thread() sets state
to ISCSI_NP_THREAD_RESET, sends SIGINT, and then blocks waiting
for completion on iscsi_np-&gt;np_restart_comp.

However, if iscsi_np was active processing a login request and
more than a single iscsit_reset_np_thread() caller to the same
iscsi_np was blocked on iscsi_np-&gt;np_restart_comp, iscsi_np
kthread process context in __iscsi_target_login_thread() would
flush pending signals and only perform a single completion of
np-&gt;np_restart_comp before going back to sleep within transport
specific iscsit_transport-&gt;iscsi_accept_np code.

To address this bug, add a iscsi_np-&gt;np_reset_count and update
__iscsi_target_login_thread() to keep completing np-&gt;np_restart_comp
until -&gt;np_reset_count has reached zero.

This patch re-introduces part of a long standing login workaround that
was recently dropped by:

  commit 1c99de981f30b3e7868b8d20ce5479fa1c0fea46
  Author: Nicholas Bellinger &lt;nab@linux-iscsi.org&gt;
  Date:   Sun Apr 2 13:36:44 2017 -0700

      iscsi-target: Drop work-around for legacy GlobalSAN initiator

Namely, the workaround for FirstBurstLength ended up being required by
Mellanox Flexboot PXE boot ROMs as reported by Robert.

So this patch re-adds the work-around for FirstBurstLength within
iscsi_check_proposer_for_optional_reply(), and makes the key optional
to respond when the initiator does not propose, nor respond to it.

Also as requested by Arun, this patch introduces a new TPG attribute
named 'login_keys_workaround' that controls the use of both the
FirstBurstLength workaround, as well as the two other existing
workarounds for gPXE iSCSI boot client.

By default, the workaround is enabled with login_keys_workaround=1,
since Mellanox FlexBoot requires it, and Arun has verified the Qlogic
MSFT initiator already proposes FirstBurstLength, so it's uneffected
by this re-adding this part of the original work-around.

This patch fixes a OOPs originally introduced by:

   commit bb048357dad6d604520c91586334c9c230366a14
   Author: Nicholas Bellinger &lt;nab@linux-iscsi.org&gt;
   Date:   Thu Sep 5 14:54:04 2013 -0700

   iscsi-target: Add sk-&gt;sk_state_change to cleanup after TCP failure

which would trigger a NULL pointer dereference when a TCP connection
was closed asynchronously via iscsi_target_sk_state_change(), but only
when the initial PDU processing in iscsi_target_do_login() from iscsi_np
process context was blocked waiting for backend I/O to complete.

To address this issue, this patch makes the following changes.

First, it introduces some common helper functions used for checking
socket closing state, checking login_flags, and atomically checking
socket closing state + setting login_flags.

Second, it introduces a LOGIN_FLAGS_INITIAL_PDU bit to know when a TCP
connection has dropped via iscsi_target_sk_state_change(), but the
initial PDU processing within iscsi_target_do_login() in iscsi_np
context is still running.  For this case, it sets LOGIN_FLAGS_CLOSED,
but doesn't invoke schedule_delayed_work().

The original NULL pointer dereference case reported by MNC is now handled
by iscsi_target_do_login() doing a iscsi_target_sk_check_close() before
transitioning to FFP to determine when the socket has already closed,
or iscsi_target_start_negotiation() if the login needs to exchange
more PDUs (eg: iscsi_target_do_login returned 0) but the socket has
closed.  For both of these cases, the cleanup up of remaining connection
resources will occur in iscsi_target_start_negotiation() from iscsi_np
process context once the failure is detected.

Finally, to handle to case where iscsi_target_sk_state_change() is
called after the initial PDU procesing is complete, it now invokes
conn-&gt;login_work -&gt; iscsi_target_do_login_rx() to perform cleanup once
existing iscsi_target_sk_check_close() checks detect connection failure.
For this case, the cleanup of remaining connection resources will occur
in iscsi_target_do_login_rx() from delayed workqueue process context
once the failure is detected.

Split iscsit_check_dataout_hdr() into two functions
1. __iscsit_check_dataout_hdr() - This function
   validates data out hdr.
2. iscsit_check_dataout_hdr() - This function finds
   iSCSI cmd using iscsit_find_cmd_from_itt_or_dump(),
   then it calls __iscsit_check_dataout_hdr() to
   validate iSCSI hdr.

This split is required to support Chelsio T6 iSCSI
DDP completion feature. T6 adapters reduce number of
completions to host by generating single completion
for all directly placed(DDP) iSCSI pdus in a sequence,
DDP completion contains iSCSI hdr of the last pdu in a
sequence.

On receiving DDP completion cxgbit driver will first
find iSCSI cmd using iscsit_find_cmd_from_itt_or_dump()
then updates cmd-&gt;write_data_done, cmd-&gt;next_burst_len,
cmd-&gt;data_sn and calls  __iscsit_check_dataout_hdr()
to validate iSCSI hdr.

(Move XRDSL check ahead of itt lookup / dump - nab)
