<content type='text'>
commit b32f4c7ed85c5cee2a21a55c9f59ebc9d57a2463 upstream.

This patch re-adds the ability to optionally run in buffered FILEIO mode
(eg: w/o O_DSYNC) for device backends in order to once again use the
Linux buffered cache as a write-back storage mechanism.

This logic was originally dropped with mainline v3.5-rc commit:

commit a4dff3043c231d57f982af635c9d2192ee40e5ae
Author: Nicholas Bellinger &lt;nab@linux-iscsi.org&gt;
Date:   Wed May 30 16:25:41 2012 -0700

    target/file: Use O_DSYNC by default for FILEIO backends

This difference with this patch is that fd_create_virtdevice() now
forces the explicit setting of emulate_write_cache=1 when buffered FILEIO
operation has been enabled.

(v2: Switch to FDBD_HAS_BUFFERED_IO_WCE + add more detailed
     comment as requested by hch)

<id>urn:sha1:45a0374fd5ee6c27349dc41e31db0bd0c87663ca</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a4dff3043c231d57f982af635c9d2192ee40e5ae upstream.

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.

<title>target/iscsi: Fix network portal creation race</title>

commit ee291e63293146db64668e8d65eb35c97e8324f4 upstream.

When creating network portals rapidly, such as when restoring a
configuration, LIO's code to reuse existing portals can return a false
negative if the thread hasn't run yet and set np_thread_state to
ISCSI_NP_THREAD_ACTIVE. This causes an error in the network stack
when attempting to bind to the same address/port.

This patch sets NP_THREAD_ACTIVE before the np is placed on g_np_list,
so even if the thread hasn't run yet, iscsit_get_np will return the
existing np.

Also, convert np_lock -&gt; np_mutex + hold across adding new net portal
to g_np_list to prevent a race where two threads may attempt to create
the same network portal, resulting in one of them failing.

(nab: Add missing mutex_unlocks in iscsit_add_np failure paths)
(DanC: Fix incorrect spin_unlock -&gt; spin_unlock_bh)

commit 86784c6bdeeef78eed94d298be7a8879f6a97ee2 upstream.

In iSCSI negotiations with initiator CHAP enabled, usernames with
trailing garbage are permitted, because the string comparison only
checks the strlen of the configured username.

e.g. "usernameXXXXX" will be permitted to match "username".

Just check one more byte so the trailing null char is also matched.

commit 369653e4fb511928511b0ce81f41c812ff1f28b6 upstream.

extract_param() is called with max_length set to the total size of the
output buffer.  It's not safe to allow a parameter length equal to the
buffer size as the terminating null would be written one byte past the
end of the output buffer.

commit ee60bddba5a5f23e39598195d944aa0eb2d455e5 upstream.

This patch fixes spc_emulate_inquiry_std() to add trailing ASCII
spaces for INQUIRY vendor + model fields following SPC-4 text:

  "ASCII data fields described as being left-aligned shall have any
   unused bytes at the end of the field (i.e., highest offset) and
   the unused bytes shall be filled with ASCII space characters (20h)."

This addresses a problem with Falconstor NSS multipathing.

<id>urn:sha1:4c3017e4b2d21feed4a510c1ee69aa77d2384493</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 574780fd5e6ec52bd43e0bdb777a19e4c4c6aa9c upstream.

Here is a fun one.  Bug seems to have been introduced by commit 140854cb,
almost two years ago.  I have no idea why we only started seeing it now,
but we did.

Rough callgraph:
core_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth()
`-&gt; spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;tpg-&gt;session_lock, flags);
`-&gt; lio_tpg_shutdown_session()
    `-&gt; iscsit_stop_time2retain_timer()
        `-&gt; spin_unlock_bh(&amp;se_tpg-&gt;session_lock);
        `-&gt; spin_lock_bh(&amp;se_tpg-&gt;session_lock);
`-&gt; spin_unlock_irqrestore(&amp;tpg-&gt;session_lock, flags);

core_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth() used to call spin_lock_bh(),
but 140854cb changed that to spin_lock_irqsave().  However,
lio_tpg_shutdown_session() still claims to be called with spin_lock_bh()
held, as does iscsit_stop_time2retain_timer():
 *      Called with spin_lock_bh(&amp;struct se_portal_group-&gt;session_lock) held

Stale documentation is mostly annoying, but in this case the dropping
the lock with the _bh variant is plain wrong.  It is also wrong to drop
locks two functions below the lock-holder, but I will ignore that bit
for now.

After some more locking and unlocking we eventually hit this backtrace:
------------[ cut here ]------------

commit cea4dcfdad926a27a18e188720efe0f2c9403456 upstream.

If a key was larger than 64 bytes, as checked by iscsi_check_key(), the
error response packet, generated by iscsi_add_notunderstood_response(),
would still attempt to copy the entire key into the packet, overflowing
the structure on the heap.

Remote preauthentication kernel memory corruption was possible if a
target was configured and listening on the network.

Fix two issues in OOO commands processing done at iscsit_attach_ooo_cmdsn.

Handle command serial numbers wrap around by using iscsi_sna_lt and not regular comparisson.

The routine iterates until it finds an entry whose serial number is greater than the serial number of
the new one, thus the new entry should be inserted before that entry and not after.
