Hello Linus, Here are the target-pending fixes for v4.11-rc3 code. Please go ahead and pull from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git master The bulk of the changes are in qla2xxx target driver code to address various issues found during Cavium/QLogic's internal testing (stable CC's included), along with a few other stability and smaller miscellaneous improvements. There are also a couple of different patch sets from Mike Christie, which have been a result of his work to use target-core ALUA logic together with tcm-user backend driver. Finally, a patch to address some long standing issues with pass-through SCSI export of TYPE_TAPE + TYPE_MEDIUM_CHANGER devices, which will make folks using physical (or virtual) magnetic tape happy. Thank you, --nab Anil Gurumurthy (1): qla2xxx: Export DIF stats via debugfs Himanshu Madhani (2): qla2xxx: Add DebugFS node to display Port Database qla2xxx: Update driver version to 9.00.00.00-k Joe Carnuccio (1): qla2xxx: Allow vref count to timeout on vport delete. Max Lohrmann (1): target: Fix VERIFY_16 handling in sbc_parse_cdb Mike Christie (10): tcmu: allow hw_max_sectors greater than 128 tcmu: return on first Opt parse failure target: allow ALUA setup for some passthrough backends target: fail ALUA transitions for pscsi target: Use system workqueue for ALUA transitions target: fix ALUA transition timeout handling target: allow userspace to set state to transitioning target: fix race during implicit transition work flushes tcmu: add helper to check if dev was configured tcmu: make cmd timeout configurable Nicholas Bellinger (3): target/pscsi: Fix TYPE_TAPE + TYPE_MEDIMUM_CHANGER export target: Drop pointless tfo->check_stop_free check tcmu: Convert cmd_time_out into backend device attribute Quinn Tran (10): qla2xxx: Fix memory leak for abts processing qla2xxx: Fix request queue corruption. qla2xxx: Fix inadequate lock protection for ABTS. qla2xxx: Fix sess_lock & hardware_lock lock order problem. qla2xxx: Allow relogin to proceed if remote login did not finish qla2xxx: Improve T10-DIF/PI handling in driver. qla2xxx: Add async new target notification qla2xxx: Use IOCB interface to submit non-critical MBX. qla2xxx: Change scsi host lookup method. qla2xxx: Fix delayed response to command for loop mode/direct connect. drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c | 4 +- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_dbg.h | 1 + drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_def.h | 56 ++- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_dfs.c | 107 ++++- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_gbl.h | 18 +- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_init.c | 85 ++-- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_iocb.c | 13 +- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_isr.c | 41 +- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_mbx.c | 304 ++++++++++++-- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_mid.c | 14 +- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_os.c | 23 +- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_target.c | 748 +++++++++++++++++++++------------ drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_target.h | 39 +- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_version.h | 6 +- drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/tcm_qla2xxx.c | 49 ++- drivers/target/target_core_alua.c | 82 ++-- drivers/target/target_core_configfs.c | 4 + drivers/target/target_core_pscsi.c | 50 +-- drivers/target/target_core_sbc.c | 10 +- drivers/target/target_core_tpg.c | 3 +- drivers/target/target_core_transport.c | 3 +- drivers/target/target_core_user.c | 152 +++++-- include/target/target_core_backend.h | 7 +- include/target/target_core_base.h | 2 +- 25 files changed, 1274 insertions(+), 548 deletions(-)
