30c7ca9350 scsi: target: drop unnecessary get_fabric_name() accessor from fabric_ops
All fabrics return a const string. In all cases *except* iSCSI the
get_fabric_name() string matches fabric_ops.name.

Both fabric_ops.get_fabric_name() and fabric_ops.name are user-facing, with
the former being used for PR/ALUA state and the latter for ConfigFS
(config/target/$name), so we unfortunately need to keep both strings around
for now.  Replace the useless .get_fabric_name() accessor function with a
const string fabric_name member variable.

e936a38ac9 scsi: target: Remove se_dev_entry.ua_count
se_dev_entry.ua_count is only used to check whether or not
se_dev_entry.ua_list is empty. Use list_empty_careful() instead.  Checking
whether or not ua_list is empty without holding the lock that protects that
list is fine because the code that dequeues from that list will check again
whether or not that list is empty.

5c755fe142 Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending
Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of
  different areas.

  The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within
  target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric
  drivers tree-wide.

  There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and
  se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a
  completely lockless code-path.  It also removes the original
  hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint.

  The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core
  and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while
  still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes.

  The highlights include:

   - Merge sbc_verify_dif_* into common code (sagi)
   - Remove iscsi-target support for obsolete IFMarker/OFMarker
     (Christophe Vu-Brugier)
   - Add bidi support in target/user backend (ilias + vangelis + agover)
   - Move se_node_acl allocation into target-core code (hch)
   - Add crc_t10dif_update common helper (akinobu + mkp)
   - Handle target-core odd SGL mapping for data transfer memory
     (akinobu)
   - Move transport ID handling into target-core (hch)
   - Move task tag into struct se_cmd + support 64-bit tags (bart)
   - Convert se_node_acl->device_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch +
     paulmck)
   - Convert se_portal_group->tpg_lun_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch +
     paulmck)
   - Simplify target backend driver registration (hch)
   - Consolidate + simplify target backend attribute implementations
     (hch + nab)
   - Subsume se_port + t10_alua_tg_pt_gp_member into se_lun (hch)
   - Drop lun_sep_lock for se_lun->lun_se_dev RCU usage (hch + nab)
   - Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter (nab)
   - Use 64-bit LUNs tree-wide (hannes)
   - Drop left-over TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT limit (hannes)"

ba92999252 target: Minimize SCSI header #include directives

these header files, namely the SCSI pass-through code and the tcm_loop
driver. Change SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE into TRANSPORT_SENSE_BUFFER in

latter for target code. With this patch the only initiator include
directives in target code that remain are as follows:

29a05deebf target: Convert se_node_acl->device_list[] to RCU hlist
This patch converts se_node_acl->device_list[] table for mappedluns
to modern RCU hlist_head usage in order to support an arbitrary number
of node_acl lun mappings.

It converts transport_lookup_*_lun() fast-path code to use RCU read path
primitives when looking up se_dev_entry.  It adds a new hlist_head at
se_node_acl->lun_entry_hlist for this purpose.

For transport_lookup_cmd_lun() code, it works with existing per-cpu
se_lun->lun_ref when associating se_cmd with se_lun + se_device.
Also, go ahead and update core_create_device_list_for_node() +
core_free_device_list_for_node() to use ->lun_entry_hlist.

It also converts se_dev_entry->pr_ref_count access to use modern
struct kref counting, and updates core_disable_device_list_for_node()
to kref_put() and block on se_deve->pr_comp waiting for outstanding PR
special-case PR references to drop, then invoke kfree_rcu() to wait
for the RCU grace period to complete before releasing memory.

So now that se_node_acl->lun_entry_hlist fast path access uses RCU
protected pointers, go ahead and convert remaining non-fast path
RCU updater code using ->lun_entry_lock to struct mutex to allow
callers to block while walking se_node_acl->lun_entry_hlist.

Finally drop the left-over core_clear_initiator_node_from_tpg() that
originally cleared lun_access during se_node_acl shutdown, as post
RCU conversion it now becomes duplicated logic.

33940d0993 target: encapsulate smp_mb__after_atomic()
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.
