From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> With the recent addition of transport_check_aborted_status() within transport_generic_request_failure() to avoid sending a SCSI status exception after CMD_T_ABORTED w/ TAS=1 has occured, it introduced a COMPARE_AND_WRITE early failure regression. Namely when COMPARE_AND_WRITE fails and se_device->caw_sem has been taken by sbc_compare_and_write(), if the new check for transport_check_aborted_status() returns true and exits, cmd->transport_complete_callback() -> compare_and_write_post() is skipped never releasing se_device->caw_sem. This regression was originally introduced by: commit e3b88ee95b4e4bf3e9729a4695d695b9c7c296c8 Author: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Feb 14 16:25:45 2017 -0800 target: Fix handling of aborted failed commands To address this bug, move the transport_check_aborted_status() call after transport_complete_task_attr() and cmd->transport_complete_callback().
