Add a LIO storage engine that presents commands to userspace for execution. This would allow more complex backstores to be implemented out-of-kernel, and also make experimentation a-la FUSE (but at the SCSI level -- "SUSE"?) possible. It uses a mmap()able UIO device per LUN to share a command ring and data area. The commands are raw SCSI CDBs and iovs for in/out data. The command ring is also reused for returning scsi command status and optional sense data. This implementation is based on Shaohua Li's earlier version but heavily modified. Differences include: * Shared memory allocated by kernel, not locked-down user pages * Single ring for command request and response * Offsets instead of embedded pointers * Generic SCSI CDB passthrough instead of per-cmd specialization in ring format. * Uses UIO device instead of anon_file passed in mailbox. * Optional in-kernel handling of some commands. The main reason for these differences is to permit greater resiliency if the user process dies or hangs. Things not yet implemented (on purpose): * Zero copy. The data area is flexible enough to allow page flipping or backend-allocated pages to be used by fabrics, but it's not clear these are performance wins. Can come later. * Out-of-order command completion by userspace. Possible to add by just allowing userspace to change cmd_id in rsp cmd entries, but currently not supported. * No locks between kernel cmd submission and completion routines. Sounds like it's possible, but this can come later. * Sparse allocation of mmaped area. Current code vmallocs the whole thing. If the mapped area was larger and not fully mapped then the driver would have more freedom to change cmd and data area sizes based on demand. Current code open issues: * The use of idrs may be overkill -- we maybe can replace them with a simple counter to generate cmd_ids, and a hash table to get a cmd_id's associated pointer. * Use of a free-running counter for cmd ring instead of explicit modulo math. This would require power-of-2 cmd ring size. (Add kconfig depends NET - Randy) Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <agrover@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

During temporary resource starvation at lower transport layer, command is placed on queue full retry path, which expose this problem. The TCM queue full handling of SCF_TRANSPORT_TASK_SENSE currently sends the same cmd twice to lower layer. The 1st time led to cmd normal free path. The 2nd time cause Null pointer access. This regression bug was originally introduced v3.1-rc code in the following commit: commit e057f533 Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Date: Mon Oct 17 13:56:41 2011 -0400 target: remove the transport_qf_callback se_cmd callback Signed-off-by: Quinn Tran <quinn.tran@qlogic.com> Signed-off-by: Saurav Kashyap <saurav.kashyap@qlogic.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v3.1+ Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

Remove the inline attribute. Modern compilers ignore it and the function has grown beyond where inline made sense anyway. Remove the BUG_ON(!cmd->sg_mapped), and instead return if sg_mapped is not set. Every caller is doing this check, so we might as well have it in one place instead of four.

The target code has a rather generous helping of smp_mb__after_atomic() throughout the code base. Most atomic operations were followed by one and none were preceded by smp_mb__before_atomic(), nor accompanied by a comment explaining the need for a barrier. Instead of trying to prove for every case whether or not it is needed, this patch introduces atomic_inc_mb() and atomic_dec_mb(), which explicitly include the memory barriers before and after the atomic operation. For now they are defined in a target header, although they could be of general use. Most of the existing atomic/mb combinations were replaced by the new helpers. In a few cases the atomic was sandwiched in spin_lock/spin_unlock and I simply removed the barrier. I suspect that in most cases the correct conversion would have been to drop the barrier. I also suspect that a few cases exist where a) the barrier was necessary and b) a second barrier before the atomic would have been necessary and got added by this patch.

atomic_inc_return() already does an implicit memory barrier and the second case was moved from an atomic to a plain flag operation. If a barrier were needed in the second case, it would have to be smp_mb(), not a variant optimized away for x86 and other architectures.

Each case of match_strdup could leak memory if the same argument was present before. I am not too concerned, as it would require a non-sensical combination like "target_lun=foo target_lun=bar", done with root privileges and even then leak just a few bytes per instance. But arg_p is different, as it will always leak memory. Let's plug that one. And while at it, replace some &args[0] with args. Found by coverity.

last_intr_fail_name is a fixed-size array and could theoretically overflow.

This patch drops the now duplicate + unnecessary check for -ENODEV from iscsi_transport->iscsit_accept_np() for jumping to out:, or immediately returning 1 in __iscsi_target_login_thread() code. Since commit 81a9c5e7 the jump to out: and returning 1 have the same effect, and end up hitting the ISCSI_NP_THREAD_SHUTDOWN check regardless at the top of __iscsi_target_login_thread() during next loop iteration. So that said, it's safe to go ahead and remove this duplicate check. Reported-by: Joern Engel <joern@logfs.org> Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

Found by coverity. InitiatorName and InitiatorAlias are static arrays and therefore always non-NULL.

The use of "rcu_assign_pointer()" is NULLing out the pointer. According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment: "1. This use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() is NULLing out the pointer" it is better to use it instead of rcu_assign_pointer() because it has a smaller overhead.

Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro: "double iput() on failure exit in lustre, racy removal of spliced dentries from ->s_anon in __d_materialise_dentry() plus a bunch of assorted RCU pathwalk fixes" The RCU pathwalk fixes end up fixing a couple of cases where we incorrectly dropped out of RCU walking, due to incorrect initialization and testing of the sequence locks in some corner cases. Since dropping out of RCU walk mode forces the slow locked accesses, those corner cases slowed down quite dramatically. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: be careful with nd->inode in path_init() and follow_dotdot_rcu() don't bugger nd->seq on set_root_rcu() from follow_dotdot_rcu() fix bogus read_seqretry() checks introduced in b37199e6 move the call of __d_drop(anon) into __d_materialise_unique(dentry, anon) [fix] lustre: d_make_root() does iput() on dentry allocation failure

The performance regression that Josef Bacik reported in the pathname lookup (see commit 99d263d4 "vfs: fix bad hashing of dentries") made me look at performance stability of the dcache code, just to verify that the problem was actually fixed. That turned up a few other problems in this area. There are a few cases where we exit RCU lookup mode and go to the slow serializing case when we shouldn't, Al has fixed those and they'll come in with the next VFS pull. But my performance verification also shows that link_path_walk() turns out to have a very unfortunate 32-bit store of the length and hash of the name we look up, followed by a 64-bit read of the combined hash_len field. That screws up the processor store to load forwarding, causing an unnecessary hickup in this critical routine. It's caused by the ugly calling convention for the "hash_name()" function, and easily fixed by just making hash_name() fill in the whole 'struct qstr' rather than passing it a pointer to just the hash value. With that, the profile for this function looks much smoother. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

return the value instead, and have path_init() do the assignment. Broken by "vfs: Fix absolute RCU path walk failures due to uninitialized seq number", which was Cc-stable with 2.6.38+ as destination. This one should go where it went. To avoid dummy value returned in case when root is already set (it would do no harm, actually, since the only caller that doesn't ignore the return value is guaranteed to have nd->root *not* set, but it's more obvious that way), lift the check into callers. And do the same to set_root(), to keep them in sync. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.38+ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
