commit 25cdda95fda78d22d44157da15aa7ea34be3c804 upstream.

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.

commit 5e0cf5e6c43b9e19fc0284f69e5cd2b4a47523b0 upstream.

There are three timing problems in the kthread usages of iscsi_target_mod:

 - np_thread of struct iscsi_np
 - rx_thread and tx_thread of struct iscsi_conn

In iscsit_close_connection(), it calls

 send_sig(SIGINT, conn-&gt;tx_thread, 1);
 kthread_stop(conn-&gt;tx_thread);

In conn-&gt;tx_thread, which is iscsi_target_tx_thread(), when it receive
SIGINT the kthread will exit without checking the return value of
kthread_should_stop().

So if iscsi_target_tx_thread() exit right between send_sig(SIGINT...)
and kthread_stop(...), the kthread_stop() will try to stop an already
stopped kthread.

This is invalid according to the documentation of kthread_stop().

(Fix -ECONNRESET logout handling in iscsi_target_tx_thread and
 early iscsi_target_rx_thread failure case - nab)

commit 197b806ae5db60c6f609d74da04ddb62ea5e1b00 upstream.

While testing modification of per se_node_acl queue_depth forcing
session reinstatement via lio_target_nacl_cmdsn_depth_store() -&gt;
core_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth(), a hung task bug triggered
when changing cmdsn_depth invoked session reinstatement while an iscsi
login was already waiting for session reinstatement to complete.

This can happen when an outstanding se_cmd descriptor is taking a
long time to complete, and session reinstatement from iscsi login
or cmdsn_depth change occurs concurrently.

To address this bug, explicitly set session_fall_back_to_erl0 = 1
when forcing session reinstatement, so session reinstatement is
not attempted if an active session is already being shutdown.

This patch has been tested with two scenarios.  The first when
iscsi login is blocked waiting for iscsi session reinstatement
to complete followed by queue_depth change via configfs, and
second when queue_depth change via configfs us blocked followed
by a iscsi login driven session reinstatement.

Note this patch depends on commit d36ad77f702 to handle multiple
sessions per se_node_acl when changing cmdsn_depth, and for
pre v4.5 kernels will need to be included for stable as well.

<title>iscsi-target: Drop work-around for legacy GlobalSAN initiator</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1c99de981f30b3e7868b8d20ce5479fa1c0fea46</id>
<content type='text'>
Once upon a time back in 2009, a work-around was added to support
the GlobalSAN iSCSI initiator v3.3 for MacOSX, which during login
did not propose nor respond to MaxBurstLength, FirstBurstLength,
DefaultTime2Wait and DefaultTime2Retain keys.

The work-around in iscsi_check_proposer_for_optional_reply()
allowed the missing keys to be proposed, but did not require
waiting for a response before moving to full feature phase
operation.  This allowed GlobalSAN v3.3 to work out-of-the
box, and for many years we didn't run into login interopt
issues with any other initiators..

Until recently, when Martin tried a QLogic 57840S iSCSI Offload
HBA on Windows 2016 which completed login, but subsequently
failed with:

    Got unknown iSCSI OpCode: 0x43

The issue was QLogic MSFT side did not propose DefaultTime2Wait +
DefaultTime2Retain, so LIO proposes them itself, and immediately
transitions to full feature phase because of the GlobalSAN hack.
However, the QLogic MSFT side still attempts to respond to
DefaultTime2Retain + DefaultTime2Wait, even though LIO has set
ISCSI_FLAG_LOGIN_NEXT_STAGE3 + ISCSI_FLAG_LOGIN_TRANSIT
in last login response.

So while the QLogic MSFT side should have been proposing these
two keys to start, it was doing the correct thing per RFC-3720
attempting to respond to proposed keys before transitioning to
full feature phase.

All that said, recent versions of GlobalSAN iSCSI (v5.3.0.541)
does correctly propose the four keys during login, making the
original work-around moot.

So in order to allow QLogic MSFT to run unmodified as-is, go
ahead and drop this long standing work-around.

This patch changes iscsi-target to propagate iscsit_transport
-&gt;iscsit_queue_data_in() and -&gt;iscsit_queue_status() callback
errors, back up into target-core.

This allows target-core to retry failed iscsit_transport
callbacks using internal queue-full logic.

<title>iscsi-target: Fix TMR reference leak during session shutdown</title>

<id>urn:sha1:efb2ea770bb3b0f40007530bc8b0c22f36e1c5eb</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes a iscsi-target specific TMR reference leak
during session shutdown, that could occur when a TMR was
quiesced before the hand-off back to iscsi-target code
via transport_cmd_check_stop_to_fabric().

The reference leak happens because iscsit_free_cmd() was
incorrectly skipping the final target_put_sess_cmd() for
TMRs when transport_generic_free_cmd() returned zero because
the se_cmd-&gt;cmd_kref did not reach zero, due to the missing
se_cmd assignment in original code.

The result was iscsi_cmd and it's associated se_cmd memory
would be freed once se_sess-&gt;sess_cmd_map where released,
but the associated se_tmr_req was leaked and remained part
of se_device-&gt;dev_tmr_list.

This bug would manfiest itself as kernel paging request
OOPsen in core_tmr_lun_reset(), when a left-over se_tmr_req
attempted to dereference it's se_cmd pointer that had
already been released during normal session shutdown.

To address this bug, go ahead and treat ISCSI_OP_SCSI_CMD
and ISCSI_OP_SCSI_TMFUNC the same when there is an extra
se_cmd-&gt;cmd_kref to drop in iscsit_free_cmd(), and use
op_scsi to signal __iscsit_free_cmd() when the former
needs to clear any further iscsi related I/O state.

Pull sched.h split-up from Ingo Molnar:
 "The point of these changes is to significantly reduce the
  &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; header footprint, to speed up the kernel build and to
  have a cleaner header structure.

  After these changes the new &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;'s typical preprocessed
  size goes down from a previous ~0.68 MB (~22K lines) to ~0.45 MB (~15K
  lines), which is around 40% faster to build on typical configs.

  Not much changed from the last version (-v2) posted three weeks ago: I
  eliminated quirks, backmerged fixes plus I rebased it to an upstream
  SHA1 from yesterday that includes most changes queued up in -next plus
  all sched.h changes that were pending from Andrew.

  I've re-tested the series both on x86 and on cross-arch defconfigs,
  and did a bisectability test at a number of random points.

  I tried to test as many build configurations as possible, but some
  build breakage is probably still left - but it should be mostly
  limited to architectures that have no cross-compiler binaries
  available on kernel.org, and non-default configurations"
