Hello Linus, The following target series for v4.10 contains fixes which address a few long-standing bugs that DATERA's QA + automation teams have uncovered while putting v4.1.y target code into production usage. We've been running the top three in our nightly automated regression runs for the last two months, and the COMPARE_AND_WRITE fix Mr. Gary Guo has been manually verifying against a four node ESX cluster this past week. Note all of them have CC' stable tags. Please go ahead and pull from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git master This includes: - Fix a bug with ESX EXTENDED_COPY + SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT status, where target_core_xcopy.c logic was incorrectly returning SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION for all non SAM_STAT_GOOD cases. (Nixon Vincent) - Fix a TMR LUN_RESET hung task bug while other in-flight TMRs are being aborted, before the new one had been dispatched into tmr_wq. (Rob Millner) - Fix a long standing double free OOPs, where a dynamically generated 'demo-mode' NodeACL has multiple sessions associated with it, and the /sys/kernel/config/target/$FABRIC/$WWN/ subsequently disables demo-mode, but never converts the dynamic ACL into a explicit ACL. (Rob Millner) - Fix a long standing reference leak with ESX VAAI COMPARE_AND_WRITE when the second phase WRITE COMMIT command fails, resulting in CHECK_CONDITION response never being sent and se_cmd->cmd_kref never reaching zero. (Gary Guo) Beyond these items on v4.1.y we've reproduced, fixed, and run through our regression test suite using iscsi-target exports, there are two additional outstanding list items: - Remove a >= v4.2 RCU conversion BUG_ON that would trigger when dynamic node NodeACLs where being converted to explicit NodeACLs. The patch drops the BUG_ON to follow how pre RCU conversion worked for this special case. (Benjamin Estrabaud) - Add ibmvscsis target_core_fabric_ops->max_data_sg_nent assignment to match what IBM's Virtual SCSI hypervisor is already enforcing at transport layer. (Bryant Ly + Steven Royer). Thank you, --nab Bryant G.
