This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled scsi: target: Fix the pgr/alua_support_store functions to the 5.14-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-fix-the-pgr-alua_support_store-functions.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 28fa28cc38d098421aa076e47d4b56ce6b00ecaa Author: Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Sep 6 17:18:09 2021 +0200 scsi: target: Fix the pgr/alua_support_store functions [ Upstream commit ef7ae7f746e95c6fa4ec2bcfacb949c36263da78 ] Commit 356ba2a8bc8d ("scsi: target: tcmu: Make pgr_support and alua_support attributes writable") introduced support for changeable alua_support and pgr_support target attributes. These can only be changed if the backstore is user-backed, otherwise the kernel returns -EINVAL. This triggers a warning in the targetcli/rtslib code when performing a target restore that includes non-userbacked backstores: # targetctl restore Storage Object block/storage1: Cannot set attribute alua_support: [Errno 22] Invalid argument, skipped Storage Object block/storage1: Cannot set attribute pgr_support: [Errno 22] Invalid argument, skipped Fix this warning by returning an error code only if we are really going to flip the PGR/ALUA bit in the transport_flags field, otherwise we will do nothing and return success. Return ENOSYS instead of EINVAL if the pgr/alua attributes can not be changed, this way it will be possible for userspace to understand if the operation failed because an invalid value has been passed to strtobool() or because the attributes are fixed.
