[ Upstream commit 01f784fc9d0ab2a6dac45ee443620e517cb2a19b ]

The target_core_file doesn't initialize the aio_cmd-&gt;iocb for the
ki_write_stream. When a write command fd_execute_rw_aio() is executed,
we may get a bogus ki_write_stream value, causing unintended write
failure status when checking iocb-&gt;ki_write_stream &gt; max_write_streams
in the block device.

Let's just use kzalloc_flex when allocating the aio_cmd and let
ki_write_stream=0 to fix this issue.

Fixes: 732f25a2895a ("fs: add a write stream field to the kiocb")
Fixes: c27683da6406 ("block: expose write streams for block device nodes")

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

for i in `git grep -l -w asm/unaligned.h`; do
	sed -i -e "s/asm\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i

These have no clear purpose.  This is effectively a revert of commit
bb7462b6fd64 ("vfs: use helpers for calling f_op-&gt;{read,write}_iter()").

The patch was created with the help of a coccinelle script.

<title>scsi: target: Rename sbc_ops to exec_cmd_ops</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0217da08c1b904be49ac141442bbc1671d3630e7</id>
<content type='text'>
The next patches allow us to call the block layer's pr_ops from the
backends. This will require allowing the backends to hook into the cmd
processing for SPC commands, so this renames sbc_ops to a more generic
exec_cmd_ops.

<title>use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers</title>

<content type='text'>
READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

<content type='text'>
A MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH value indicates the maximum transfer length in
logical blocks that the device server accepts for a single command. Fix
function sending the length in sectors instead of blocks.

This patch also removes the special casing for fileio in block_size_store
since this logic in now unified in spc_emulate_evpd_b0() for all backends.
