If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From ae072726f6109bb1c94841d6fb3a82dde298ea85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 12:32:59 -0700 Subject: iscsi-target: Make TASK_REASSIGN use proper se_cmd->cmd_kref From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit ae072726f6109bb1c94841d6fb3a82dde298ea85 upstream. Since commit 59b6986dbf fixed a potential NULL pointer dereference by allocating a se_tmr_req for ISCSI_TM_FUNC_TASK_REASSIGN, the se_tmr_req is currently leaked by iscsit_free_cmd() because no iscsi_cmd->se_cmd.se_tfo was associated. To address this, treat ISCSI_TM_FUNC_TASK_REASSIGN like any other TMR and call transport_init_se_cmd() + target_get_sess_cmd() to setup iscsi_cmd->se_cmd.se_tfo with se_cmd->cmd_kref of 2. This will ensure normal release operation once se_cmd->cmd_kref reaches zero and target_release_cmd_kref() is invoked, se_tmr_req will be released via existing target_free_cmd_mem() and core_tmr_release_req() code.
