<content type='text'>
iscsit_close_connection() calls isert_wait_conn(). Due to commit
e9d3009cb936 both functions call target_wait_for_sess_cmds() although that
last function should be called only once. Fix this by removing the
target_wait_for_sess_cmds() call from isert_wait_conn() and by only calling
isert_wait_conn() after target_wait_for_sess_cmds().

Fixes: e9d3009cb936 ("scsi: target: iscsi: Wait for all commands to finish before freeing a session").

For dependencies in next patches.

Resolve conflicts:
- Use uverbs_get_cleared_udata() with new cq allocation flow
- Continue to delete nes despite SPDX conflict
- Resolve list appends in mlx5_command_str()
- Use u16 for vport_rule stuff

<title>RDMA/rw: Use IB_WR_REG_MR_INTEGRITY for PI handover</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e9a53e73a2507f3a1680538bd167b2e49533659a</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace the old signature handover API with the new one. The new API
simplifes PI handover code complexity for ULPs and improve performance.
For RW API it will reduce the maximum number of work requests per task
and the need of dealing with multiple MRs (and their registrations and
invalidations) per task. All the mappings and registration of the data
and the protection buffers is done by the LLD using a single WR and a
special MR type (IB_MR_TYPE_INTEGRITY) for the PI handover operation.

The setup of the tested benchmark (using iSER ULP):
 - 2 servers with 24 cores (1 initiator and 1 target)
 - ConnectX-4/ConnectX-5 adapters
 - 24 target sessions with 1 LUN each
 - ramdisk backstore
 - PI active

Performance results running fio (24 jobs, 128 iodepth) using
write_generate=1 and read_verify=1 (w/w.o patch):

bs      IOPS(read)        IOPS(write)
----    ----------        ----------
512   1243.3K/1182.3K    1725.1K/1680.2K
4k    571233/528835      743293/748259
32k   72388/71086        71789/93573

Using write_generate=0 and read_verify=0 (w/w.o patch):
bs      IOPS(read)        IOPS(write)
----    ----------        ----------
512   1572.1K/1427.2K    1823.5K/1724.3K
4k    921992/916194      753772/768267
32k   75052/73960        73180/95484

There is a performance degradation when writing big block sizes.
Degradation is caused by the complexity of combining multiple
indirections and perform RDMA READ operation from it. This will be
fixed in the following patches by reducing the indirections if
possible.

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is mostly update of the usual drivers: arcmsr, qla2xxx, lpfc,
  hisi_sas, target/iscsi and target/core.

  Additionally Christoph refactored gdth as part of the dma changes. The
  major mid-layer change this time is the removal of bidi commands and
  with them the whole of the osd/exofs driver and filesystem. This is a
  major simplification for block and mq in particular"
