<content type='text'>
Fix target_parse_pr_out_transport_id() to return a string representing
the transport ID in a human-readable format (e.g., naa.xxxxxxxx...)  for
various SCSI protocol types (SAS, FCP, SRP, SBP).

Previously, the function returned a pointer to the raw binary buffer,
which was incorrectly compared against human-readable strings, causing
comparisons to fail.  Now, the function writes a properly formatted
string into a buffer provided by the caller.  The output format depends
on the transport protocol:

* SAS: 64-bit identifier, "naa." prefix.
* FCP: 64-bit identifier, colon separated values.
* SBP: 64-bit identifier, no prefix.
* SRP: 128-bit identifier, "0x" prefix.
* iSCSI: IQN string.

We might be running a local application that also interacts with the
backing device. In this setup we have some clustering type of software
that manages the ownwer of it, so we don't want the kernel to restrict
us. This patch allows the user to control if the driver gets exclusive
access.

<title>scsi: target: Fix NULL pointer dereference in core_scsi3_decode_spec_i_port()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d8ab68bdb294b09a761e967dad374f2965e1913f</id>
<content type='text'>
The function core_scsi3_decode_spec_i_port(), in its error code path,
unconditionally calls core_scsi3_lunacl_undepend_item() passing the
dest_se_deve pointer, which may be NULL.

This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference if dest_se_deve remains
unset.

SPC-3 PR SPEC_I_PT: Unable to locate dest_tpg
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address dfff800000000012
Call trace:
  core_scsi3_lunacl_undepend_item+0x2c/0xf0 [target_core_mod] (P)

Fix this by adding a NULL check before calling
core_scsi3_lunacl_undepend_item()

Instances of 'struct target_opcode_descriptor' are not modified in this
driver.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig:
Before:

Mike Christie &lt;michael.christie@oracle.com&gt; says:

The following patches made over Linus's tree remove the atomic use from
the main IO path. There was a handful of atomic_longs used just used
for stats and a couple atomics used for handling ordered commands. These
patches move the stats to per cpu, and moves the ordered tracking to a
per cpu counter.

With the patches 8K IOPS increases by up to 33% when running fio
with numjobs &gt;= 4 and using the vhost-scsi target with virtio-scsi
and virtio num_queues &gt;= 4 (jobs and queues match, and virtqueue_size
and cmd_per_lun are increased to match the total iodepth of all
jobs).
