This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: target/iblock: fix WRITE SAME zeroing to the 5.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-target-iblock-fix-write-same-zeroing.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit e5c3c8ebe37a77bbbd94876f7b1cb8dcb6f4fb1a Author: David Disseldorp <ddiss@xxxxxxx> Date: Sun Apr 19 18:31:09 2020 +0200 scsi: target/iblock: fix WRITE SAME zeroing commit 1d2ff149b263c9325875726a7804a0c75ef7112e upstream. SBC4 specifies that WRITE SAME requests with the UNMAP bit set to zero "shall perform the specified write operation to each LBA specified by the command". Commit 2237498f0b5c ("target/iblock: Convert WRITE_SAME to blkdev_issue_zeroout") modified the iblock backend to call blkdev_issue_zeroout() when handling WRITE SAME requests with UNMAP=0 and a zero data segment. The iblock blkdev_issue_zeroout() call incorrectly provides a flags parameter of 0 (bool false), instead of BLKDEV_ZERO_NOUNMAP. The bool false parameter reflects the blkdev_issue_zeroout() API prior to commit ee472d835c26 ("block: add a flags argument to (__)blkdev_issue_zeroout") which was merged shortly before 2237498f0b5c.
