Nicholas Bellinger 904f0bc482 [SCSI] target: Fix volume size misreporting for volumes > 2TB
the target infrastructure fails to send the correct conventional size
to READ_CAPACITY that force a retry with READ_CAPACITY_16, which reads
the capacity for devices > 2TB.  Fix by adding the correct return to
trigger RC(16).

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.

Nicholas Bellinger e89d15eead [SCSI] target: Remove procfs based target_core_mib.c code
This patch removes the legacy procfs based target_core_mib.c code,
and moves the necessary scsi_index_tables functions and defines into
target_core_transport.c and target_core_base.h code to allow existing
fabric independent statistics to function.

This includes the removal of a handful of 'atomic_t mib_ref_count'
counters used in struct se_node_acl, se_session and se_hba to prevent
removal while using seq_list procfs walking logic.

This patch fixes a bug introduced during the v4 control CDB emulation
refactoring that broke SCF_SCSI_CONTROL_SG_IO_CDB operation within
transport_map_control_cmd_to_task().  It moves the BUG_ON() into
transport_do_se_mem_map() after the TRANSPORT(dev)->do_se_mem_map()
RAMDISK_DR special case, and adds the proper struct se_mem assignment
when !list_empty() for normal non RAMDISK_DR backend device cases.

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.

This patch fixes a bug in core_update_device_list_for_node() where
individual demo-mode generated MappedLUN's UA + Persistent
Reservations metadata where being leaked, instead of falling through
and calling existing core_scsi3_ua_release_all() and
core_scsi3_free_pr_reg_from_nacl() at the end of
core_update_device_list_for_node().

This bug would manifest itself with the following OOPs w/ TPG
demo-mode endpoints (tfo->tpg_check_demo_mode()=1), and PROUT
REGISTER+RESERVE -> explict struct se_session logout -> struct
se_device shutdown:

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.]
