Once upon a time back in 2009, a work-around was added to support
the GlobalSAN iSCSI initiator v3.3 for MacOSX, which during login
did not propose nor respond to MaxBurstLength, FirstBurstLength,
DefaultTime2Wait and DefaultTime2Retain keys.
The work-around in iscsi_check_proposer_for_optional_reply()
allowed the missing keys to be proposed, but did not require
waiting for a response before moving to full feature phase
operation. This allowed GlobalSAN v3.3 to work out-of-the
box, and for many years we didn't run into login interopt
issues with any other initiators..
Until recently, when Martin tried a QLogic 57840S iSCSI Offload
HBA on Windows 2016 which completed login, but subsequently
failed with:
Got unknown iSCSI OpCode: 0x43
The issue was QLogic MSFT side did not propose DefaultTime2Wait +
DefaultTime2Retain, so LIO proposes them itself, and immediately
transitions to full feature phase because of the GlobalSAN hack.
However, the QLogic MSFT side still attempts to respond to
DefaultTime2Retain + DefaultTime2Wait, even though LIO has set
ISCSI_FLAG_LOGIN_NEXT_STAGE3 + ISCSI_FLAG_LOGIN_TRANSIT
in last login response.
So while the QLogic MSFT side should have been proposing these
two keys to start, it was doing the correct thing per RFC-3720
attempting to respond to proposed keys before transitioning to
full feature phase.
All that said, recent versions of GlobalSAN iSCSI (v5.3.0.541)
does correctly propose the four keys during login, making the
original work-around moot.
So in order to allow QLogic MSFT to run unmodified as-is, go
ahead and drop this long standing work-around.

Multiple threads could be writing to alua_access_state at
the same time, or there could be multiple STPGs in flight
(different initiators sending them or one initiator sending
them to different ports), or a combo of both and the
core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt calls will race with each other.
Because from the last patches we no longer delay running
core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work, there does not seem to be
any point in running that in a workqueue. And, we always
wait for it to complete one way or another, so we can sleep
in this code path. So, this patch made over target-pending just adds a
mutex and does the work core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work was doing in
core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt.
There is also no need to use an atomic for the
tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state. In core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt we will
test and set it under the transition mutex. And, it is a int/32 bits

This patch addresses two queue-full handling bugs in iser-target.
The first is propagating isert_rdma_rw_ctx_post() return back
to target-core via isert_put_datain() + isert_get_dataout()
callbacks, in order to trigger queue-full logic in target-core.
Note target-core expects -EAGAIN or -ENOMEM error to signal
RDMA WRITE/READ data-transfer callbacks should be retried,
after queue-full logic been invoked.
Other types of errors propagated up from RDMA RW API will result
in target-core generating internal CHECK_CONDITION status,
avoiding subsequent isert_put_datain() and isert_get_dataout()
iscsit_transport callback retry attempts.
The second is to use transport_generic_request_failure()
during T10-PI hw-offload errors in isert_rdma_write_done()
and isert_rdma_read_done(), so CHECK_CONDITION queue-full
is handled internally by target-core.
Also add isert_put_response() T10-PI failure case fixme in
isert_rdma_write_done(), which is currently not internally
retried or released until session reinstatement.

when fabric driver ->write_pending(), ->queue_data_in(),

If there has BIDI data, its first iov[] will overwrite the last
iov[] for se_cmd->t_data_sg.
To fix this, we can just increase the iov pointer, but this may
introuduce a new memory leakage bug: If the se_cmd->data_length
and se_cmd->t_bidi_data_sg->length are all not aligned up to the
DATA_BLOCK_SIZE, the actual length needed maybe larger than just
sum of them.
So, this could be avoided by rounding all the data lengthes up

This patch closes a race between se_lun deletion during configfs
unlink in target_fabric_port_unlink() -> core_dev_del_lun()
-> core_tpg_remove_lun(), when transport_clear_lun_ref() blocks
waiting for percpu_ref RCU grace period to finish, but a new
NodeACL mappedlun is added before the RCU grace period has
completed.
This can happen in target_fabric_mappedlun_link() because it
only checks for se_lun->lun_se_dev, which is not cleared until
after transport_clear_lun_ref() percpu_ref RCU grace period
finishes.
This bug originally manifested as NULL pointer dereference
OOPsen in target_stat_scsi_att_intr_port_show_attr_dev() on
v4.1.y code, because it dereferences lun->lun_se_dev without
a explicit NULL pointer check.
In post v4.1 code with target-core RCU conversion, the code
in target_stat_scsi_att_intr_port_show_attr_dev() no longer
uses se_lun->lun_se_dev, but the same race still exists.
To address the bug, go ahead and set se_lun>lun_shutdown as
early as possible in core_tpg_remove_lun(), and ensure new
NodeACL mappedlun creation in target_fabric_mappedlun_link()
fails during se_lun shutdown.

This patch fixes a iscsi-target specific TMR reference leak
during session shutdown, that could occur when a TMR was
quiesced before the hand-off back to iscsi-target code
via transport_cmd_check_stop_to_fabric().
The reference leak happens because iscsit_free_cmd() was
incorrectly skipping the final target_put_sess_cmd() for
TMRs when transport_generic_free_cmd() returned zero because
the se_cmd->cmd_kref did not reach zero, due to the missing
se_cmd assignment in original code.
The result was iscsi_cmd and it's associated se_cmd memory
would be freed once se_sess->sess_cmd_map where released,
but the associated se_tmr_req was leaked and remained part
of se_device->dev_tmr_list.
This bug would manfiest itself as kernel paging request
OOPsen in core_tmr_lun_reset(), when a left-over se_tmr_req
attempted to dereference it's se_cmd pointer that had
already been released during normal session shutdown.
To address this bug, go ahead and treat ISCSI_OP_SCSI_CMD
and ISCSI_OP_SCSI_TMFUNC the same when there is an extra
se_cmd->cmd_kref to drop in iscsit_free_cmd(), and use
op_scsi to signal __iscsit_free_cmd() when the former
needs to clear any further iscsi related I/O state.

Instead of putting cmd_time_out under ../target/core/user_0/foo/control,
which has historically been used by parameters needed for initial

In order to do this, tcmu_module_init() has been updated to create
a local struct configfs_attribute **tcmu_attrs, that is based upon
the existing passthrough_attrib_attrs along with the new cmd_time_out
attribute. Once **tcm_attrs has been setup, go ahead and point
it at tcmu_ops->tb_dev_attrib_attrs so it's picked up by target-core.
Also following MNC's previous change, ->cmd_time_out is stored in

if (!explicit &&
atomic_read(&tg_pt_gp->tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state) ==

and then core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work could update the
state. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt would then only set
tg_pt_gp_alua_pending_state and the tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state would
not get updated with the second calls state.
2. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt could be setting
tg_pt_gp_transition_complete while the tg_pt_gp_transition_work
is already completing. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt then waits on the
completion that will never be called.
To handle these issues, we just call flush_work which will return when
core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work has completed so there is no need
to do the complete/wait. And, if core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work
was running, instead of trying to sneak in the state change, we just
schedule up another core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work call.
Note that this does not handle a possible race where there are multiple

We do not setup the LU group for pscsi devices, so if you write
a state to alua_access_state that will cause a transition you will
get a NULL pointer dereference.
This patch will fail attempts to try and transition the path
for backend devices that set the TRANSPORT_FLAG_PASSTHROUGH_ALUA
flag.
