Hello Linus, Here are the target-pending fixes for v4.12-rc4. Please go ahead and pull from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git master This includes: - ibmviscsis ABORT_TASK handling fixes that missed the v4.12 merge window. (Bryant Ly and Michael Cyr) - Re-add a target-core check enforcing WRITE overflow reject that was relaxed in v4.3, to avoid unsupported iscsi-target immediate data overflow. (nab) - Fix a target-core-user OOPs during device removal. (MNC + Bryant Ly) - Fix a long standing iscsi-target potential issue where kthread exit did not wait for kthread_should_stop(). (Jiang Yi) - Fix a iscsi-target v3.12.y regression OOPs involving initial login PDU processing during asynchronous TCP connection close. (MNC + nab) This is a little larger than usual for an -rc4, primarily due to the iscsi-target v3.12.y regression OOPs bug-fix. However, it's an important patch as MNC + Hannes where both able to trigger it using a reduced iscsi initiator login timeout combined with a backend taking a long time to complete I/Os during iscsi login driven session reinstatement. Note the trailing two patches have a recent CommitDate, as the second to last was updated today to include MNC's tested-by and reviewed-by tags. The patches themselves has not changed though, and both have been run through manual and automated regression testing from multiple parties over the last 7 days. Thank you, --nab Bryant G.
