Nicholas Bellinger d60b7a0fc9 [SCSI] target: Convert REPORT_LUNs to use int_to_scsilun
This patch converts transport_core_report_lun_response() to use
drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c:int_to_scsilun instead of using the
struct target_core_fabric_ops->pack_lun() fabric provided API vector.

It also removes the tfo->pack_lun check from target_fabric_tf_ops_check()
and removes from struct target_core_fabric_ops->pack_lun() from
target_core_fabric_ops.h, and the following mainline scsi-misc fabric
modules:

*) tcm_loop: Drop tcm_loop_pack_lun() usage
*) tcm_fc: Drop ft_pack_lun() usage

Nicholas Bellinger af57c3ac99 [SCSI] target: Fix task->task_execute_queue=1 clear bug + LUN_RESET OOPs
This patch fixes a bug where task->task_execute_queue=1 was not being
cleared once se_task had been removed from se_device->execute_task_list,
resulting in an OOPs in core_tmr_lun_reset() for the task->task_active=0
case where transport_remove_task_from_execute_queue() was incorrectly
being called.

This patch fixes two cases in transport_get_task_from_execute_queue()
and transport_remove_task_from_execute_queue() to properly clear
task->task_execute_queue=0 once list_del(&task->t_execute_list) has
been called.

It also adds an explict check in transport_remove_task_from_execute_queue()
to dump_stack + return if called with task->task_execute_queue=0.

Nicholas Bellinger f436677262 [SCSI] target: Fix bug with task_sg chained transport_free_dev_tasks release
This patch addresses a bug in the target core release path for HW
operation where transport_free_dev_tasks() was incorrectly being called
from transport_lun_remove_cmd() while releasing a se_cmd reference and
calling struct target_core_fabric_ops->queue_data_in().

This would result in a OOPs with HW target mode when the release of
se_task->task_sg[] would happen before pci_unmap_sg() can be called in
HW target mode fabric module code.  This patch addresses the issue by
moving transport_free_dev_tasks() from transport_lun_remove_cmd() into
transport_generic_free_cmd(), and adding TRANSPORT_FREE_CMD_INTR and
transport_generic_free_cmd_intr() to allow se_cmd descriptor release
to happen fromfrom within transport_processing_thread() process context
when release of se_cmd is not possible from HW interrupt context.

Nicholas Bellinger 53ab6709b4 [SCSI] target: Fix interrupt context bug with stats_lock and core_tmr_alloc_req
This patch fixes two bugs wrt to the interrupt context usage of target
core with HW target mode drivers.  It first converts the usage of struct
se_device->stats_lock in transport_get_lun_for_cmd() and core_tmr_lun_reset()
to properly use spin_lock_irq() to address an BUG with CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT=y
enabled.

This patch also adds a 'in_interrupt()' check to allow GFP_ATOMIC usage from
core_tmr_alloc_req() to fix a 'sleeping in interrupt context' BUG with HW
target fabrics that require this logic to function.

Nicholas Bellinger 97868c8905 [SCSI] target: Fix multi task->task_sg[] chaining logic bug
This patch fixes a bug in transport_do_task_sg_chain() used by HW target
mode modules with sg_chain() to provide a single sg_next() walkable memory
layout for use with pci_map_sg() and friends.  This patch addresses an
issue with mapping multiple small block max_sector tasks across multiple
struct se_task->task_sg[] mappings for HW target mode operation.

This was causing OOPs with (cmd->t_task->t_tasks_no > 1) I/O traffic for
HW target drivers using transport_do_task_sg_chain(), and has been tested
so far with tcm_fc(openfcoe), tcm_qla2xxx, and ib_srpt fabrics with
t_tasks_no > 1 IBLOCK backends using a smaller max_sectors to trigger the
original issue.

Kiran Patil 3699d92a4d [SCSI] tcm_fc: Adding FC_FC4 provider (tcm_fc) for FCoE target (TCM - target core) support
This is a comprehensive patch for FC-FC4 provider. tcm_fc is a FC-FC4
provider which glues target core (TCM) with Fiber channel library
(libfc). tcm_fc uses existing FC4 provider hooks from Fiber channel
library. This Fiber channel library is used by FCoE (transport - FC
over Ethernet) protocol driver as well.

Combination of modules such as Fiber channel library, tcm_fc, TCM
target core, and FCoE protocol driver enables functional FCoE target.

This patch includes initial commit for tcm_fc plus additional
enhancement, bug fixes.

This tcm_fc module essentially contains 3 entry points such as "prli",
"prlo", "recv".  When process login request (ELS_PRLI) request is
received, Fiber channel library (libfc) module calls passive providers
(FC-FC4, tcm_fc) (if any registered) "prli" function. Likewise when
LOGO request is received, "prlo" function of passive provider is
invoked by libfc.  For all other request (e.g. any read/write, task
management, LUN inquiry commands), "recv" function of passiver
provider is invoked by libfc. Those passive providers "prli, prlo,
recv" functions interact with TCM target core for requested operation.

This module was primarily developed by "Joe Eykholt" and there were
significant contributions from the people listed under signed-off.

Nicholas Bellinger 3703b2c5d0 [SCSI] tcm_loop: Add multi-fabric Linux/SCSI LLD fabric module
This patch adds the TCM_Loop Linux/SCSI LLD fabric module for
accessing TCM device backstores as locally accessable SCSI LUNs in
virtual SAS, FC, and iSCSI Target ports using the generic fabric
TransportID and Target Port WWN naming handlers from TCM's
target_core_fabric_lib.c The TCM_Loop module uses the generic fabric
configfs infratructure provided by target_core_fabric_configfs.c and
adds a module dependent attribute for the creation/release of the
virtual I_T Nexus connected the TCM_Loop Target and Initiator Ports.

TCM_Loop can also be used with scsi-generic and BSG drivers so that
STGT userspace fabric modules, QEMU-KVM and other hypervisor SCSI
passthrough support can access TCM device backstore and control CDB
emulation.

Fubo Chen 05aea6e7e4 [SCSI] target: Remove unnecessary hba_dev_list walk and se_clear_dev_ports legacy code
This patch removes a legacy struct se_hba->hba_dev_list -> se_release_device_for_hba()
list walk in core_delete_hba(), which is no longer required while using configfs
VFS level parent/child struct config_group dependency referencing.  The reason
is because any struct se_hba->hba_dev_list-> struct se_device members are going
to have to be released via:

	rmdir /sys/kernel/config/target/core/$HBA/*

before rmdir release of struct se_hba via target_core_configfs.c:
target_core_call_delhbafromtarget() -> core_delete_hba()

	rmdir /sys/kernel/config/target/core/$HBA

to release struct se_hba in core_delete_hba().

This patch also removes the legacy se_clear_dev_ports() function, which is
left-over pre-configfs shutdown logic for when se_free_virtual_device()
was responsible for walking struct se_device->dev_sep_list and calling
core_dev_del_lun() for each individual active struct se_port->se_lun.

The reason this can be removed is because all struct se_device->dev_sep_list
-> struct se_port communication is done via configfs symlinks, which
means that an target fabric module's endpoints containg active struct
se_port(s) will have to be released via target_core_fabric_configfs.c:
target_fabric_port_unlink() via:

	unlink /sys/kernel/config/target/$FABRIC_MOD/$ENDPOINT/tpgt_$TPGT/lun/lun_$LUN_ID/<symlink>

before rmdir release of struct se_device in target_core_configfs.c:
target_core_drop_subdev() -> se_free_virtual_device() can happen via:

	rmdir /sys/kernel/config/target/core/$HBA/*

to release struct se_subsystem_dev in target_core_drop_subdev()

Nicholas Bellinger 52208ae3fc [SCSI] target: Fix t_transport_aborted handling in LUN_RESET + active I/O shutdown
This patch addresses two outstanding bugs related to
T_TASK(cmd)->t_transport_aborted handling during TMR LUN_RESET and
active I/O shutdown.

This first involves adding two explict t_transport_aborted=1
assignments in core_tmr_lun_reset() in order to signal the task has
been aborted, and updating transport_generic_wait_for_tasks() to skip
sleeping when t_transport_aborted=1 has been set.  This fixes an issue
where transport_generic_wait_for_tasks() would end up sleeping
indefinately when called from fabric module context while TMR
LUN_RESET was happening with long outstanding backend struct se_task
not yet being completed.

The second adds a missing call to
transport_remove_task_from_execute_queue() when
task->task_execute_queue=1 is set in order to fix an OOPs when
task->t_execute_list has not been dropped.  It also fixes the same
case in transport_processing_shutdown() to prevent the issue from
happening during active I/O struct se_device shutdown.

This includes the removal of a handful of 'atomic_t mib_ref_count'

removal while using seq_list procfs walking logic.

Nicholas Bellinger 7c2bf6e925 [SCSI] target: Fix top-level configfs_subsystem default_group shutdown breakage
This patch fixes two bugs uncovered during testing with
slub_debug=FPUZ during module_exit() -> target_core_exit_configfs()
with release of configfs subsystem consumer default groups, namely how
this should be working with
fs/configfs/dir.c:configfs_unregister_subsystem() release logic for
struct config_group->default_group.

The first issue involves configfs_unregister_subsystem() expecting to
walk+drain the top-level subsys->su_group.default_groups directly in
unlink_group(), and not directly from the configfs subsystem consumer
for the top level struct config_group->default_groups.  This patch
drops the walk+drain of subsys->su_group.default_groups from TCM
configfs subsystem consumer code, and moves the top-level
->default_groups kfree() after configfs_unregister_subsystem() has
been called.

The second issue involves calling
core_alua_free_lu_gp(se_global->default_lu_gp) to release the
default_lu_gp->lu_gp_group before configfs_unregister_subsystem() has
been called.  This patches also moves the core_alua_free_lu_gp() call
to release default_lu_group->lu_gp_group after the subsys has been
unregistered.

Finally, this patch explictly clears the
[lu_gp,alua,hba]_cg->default_groups pointers after kfree() to ensure
that no stale memory is picked up from child struct
config_group->default_group[] while configfs_unregister_subsystem() is
called.

Note it also adds an second explict check for ib_dev->ibd_bio_set before calling
bioset_free() to fix the same possible NULL pointer deference during an early
iblock_create_virtdevice() failure.

Dan Carpenter 3ae279d259 [SCSI] target: iblock/pscsi claim checking for NULL instead of IS_ERR
blkdev_get_by_path() returns an ERR_PTR() or error and it doesn't return
a NULL.  It looks like this bug would be easy to trigger by mistake.

Nicholas Bellinger c66ac9db8d [SCSI] target: Add LIO target core v4.0.0-rc6
LIO target is a full featured in-kernel target framework with the
following feature set:

High-performance, non-blocking, multithreaded architecture with SIMD
support.

Advanced SCSI feature set:

    * Persistent Reservations (PRs)
    * Asymmetric Logical Unit Assignment (ALUA)
    * Protocol and intra-nexus multiplexing, load-balancing and failover (MC/S)
    * Full Error Recovery (ERL=0,1,2)
    * Active/active task migration and session continuation (ERL=2)
    * Thin LUN provisioning (UNMAP and WRITE_SAMExx)

Multiprotocol target plugins

Storage media independence:

    * Virtualization of all storage media; transparent mapping of IO to LUNs
    * No hard limits on number of LUNs per Target; maximum LUN size ~750 TB
    * Backstores: SATA, SAS, SCSI, BluRay, DVD, FLASH, USB, ramdisk, etc.

Standards compliance:

    * Full compliance with IETF (RFC 3720)
    * Full implementation of SPC-4 PRs and ALUA

Significant code cleanups done by Christoph Hellwig.

[jejb: fix up for new block bdev exclusive interface. Minor fixes from
 Randy Dunlap and Dan Carpenter.]
