<id>urn:sha1:abb85a9b512e8ca7ad04a5a8a6db9664fe644974</id>
<content type='text'>
When iscsi WRITE underflow occurs there are two different scenarios
that can happen.

Normally in practice, when an EDTL vs. SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH
underflow is detected, the iscsi immediate data payload is the
smaller SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH.

That is, when a host fabric LLD is using a fixed size EDTL for
a specific control CDB, the SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH and actual
SCSI payload ends up being smaller than EDTL.  In iscsi, this
means the received iscsi immediate data payload matches the
smaller SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH, because there is no more
SCSI payload to accept beyond SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH.

However, it's possible for a malicous host to send a WRITE
underflow where EDTL is larger than SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH,
but incoming iscsi immediate data actually matches EDTL.

In the wild, we've never had a iscsi host environment actually
try to do this.

For this special case, it's wrong to truncate part of the
control CDB payload and continue to process the command during
underflow when immediate data payload received was larger than
SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH, so go ahead and reject and drop the
bogus payload as a defensive action.

Note this potential bug was originally relaxed by the following
for allowing WRITE underflow in MSFT FCP host environments:

<title>iscsi-target: Fix delayed logout processing greater than SECONDS_FOR_LOGOUT_COMP</title>

<id>urn:sha1:105fa2f44e504c830697b0c794822112d79808dc</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes a BUG() in iscsit_close_session() that could be
triggered when iscsit_logout_post_handler() execution from within
tx thread context was not run for more than SECONDS_FOR_LOGOUT_COMP
(15 seconds), and the TCP connection didn't already close before
then forcing tx thread context to automatically exit.

This would manifest itself during explicit logout as:

[33206.974254] 1 connection(s) still exist for iSCSI session to iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:3f5523242179
[33206.980184] INFO: NMI handler (kgdb_nmi_handler) took too long to run: 2100.772 msecs
[33209.078643] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[33209.078646] kernel BUG at drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target.c:4346!

Normally when explicit logout attempt fails, the tx thread context
exits and iscsit_close_connection() from rx thread context does the
extra cleanup once it detects conn-&gt;conn_logout_remove has not been
cleared by the logout type specific post handlers.

To address this special case, if the logout post handler in tx thread
context detects conn-&gt;tx_thread_active has already been cleared, simply
return and exit in order for existing iscsit_close_connection()
logic from rx thread context do failed logout cleanup.

<title>target: Fix kref-&gt;refcount underflow in transport_cmd_finish_abort</title>

<id>urn:sha1:73d4e580ccc5c3e05cea002f18111f66c9c07034</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch fixes a se_cmd-&gt;cmd_kref underflow during CMD_T_ABORTED
when a fabric driver drops it's second reference from below the
target_core_tmr.c based callers of transport_cmd_finish_abort().

Recently with the conversion of kref to refcount_t, this bug was
manifesting itself as:

[705519.601034] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
[705519.604034] INFO: NMI handler (kgdb_nmi_handler) took too long to run: 20116.512 msecs
[705539.719111] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[705539.719117] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 26510 at lib/refcount.c:184 refcount_sub_and_test+0x33/0x51

Since the original kref atomic_t based kref_put() didn't check for
underflow and only invoked the final callback when zero was reached,
this bug did not manifest in practice since all se_cmd memory is
using preallocated tags.

To address this, go ahead and propigate the existing return from
transport_put_cmd() up via transport_cmd_finish_abort(), and
change transport_cmd_finish_abort() + core_tmr_handle_tas_abort()
callers to only do their local target_put_sess_cmd() if necessary.

<title>iscsi-target: Always wait for kthread_should_stop() before kthread exit</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5e0cf5e6c43b9e19fc0284f69e5cd2b4a47523b0</id>
<content type='text'>
There are three timing problems in the kthread usages of iscsi_target_mod:

 - np_thread of struct iscsi_np
 - rx_thread and tx_thread of struct iscsi_conn

In iscsit_close_connection(), it calls

 send_sig(SIGINT, conn-&gt;tx_thread, 1);
 kthread_stop(conn-&gt;tx_thread);

In conn-&gt;tx_thread, which is iscsi_target_tx_thread(), when it receive
SIGINT the kthread will exit without checking the return value of
kthread_should_stop().

So if iscsi_target_tx_thread() exit right between send_sig(SIGINT...)
and kthread_stop(...), the kthread_stop() will try to stop an already
stopped kthread.

This is invalid according to the documentation of kthread_stop().

(Fix -ECONNRESET logout handling in iscsi_target_tx_thread and
 early iscsi_target_rx_thread failure case - nab)

This patch fixes a OOPs originally introduced by:

   commit bb048357dad6d604520c91586334c9c230366a14
   Author: Nicholas Bellinger &lt;nab@linux-iscsi.org&gt;
   Date:   Thu Sep 5 14:54:04 2013 -0700

   iscsi-target: Add sk-&gt;sk_state_change to cleanup after TCP failure

which would trigger a NULL pointer dereference when a TCP connection
was closed asynchronously via iscsi_target_sk_state_change(), but only
when the initial PDU processing in iscsi_target_do_login() from iscsi_np
process context was blocked waiting for backend I/O to complete.

To address this issue, this patch makes the following changes.

First, it introduces some common helper functions used for checking
socket closing state, checking login_flags, and atomically checking
socket closing state + setting login_flags.

Second, it introduces a LOGIN_FLAGS_INITIAL_PDU bit to know when a TCP
connection has dropped via iscsi_target_sk_state_change(), but the
initial PDU processing within iscsi_target_do_login() in iscsi_np
context is still running.  For this case, it sets LOGIN_FLAGS_CLOSED,
but doesn't invoke schedule_delayed_work().

The original NULL pointer dereference case reported by MNC is now handled
by iscsi_target_do_login() doing a iscsi_target_sk_check_close() before
transitioning to FFP to determine when the socket has already closed,
or iscsi_target_start_negotiation() if the login needs to exchange
more PDUs (eg: iscsi_target_do_login returned 0) but the socket has
closed.  For both of these cases, the cleanup up of remaining connection
resources will occur in iscsi_target_start_negotiation() from iscsi_np
process context once the failure is detected.

Finally, to handle to case where iscsi_target_sk_state_change() is
called after the initial PDU procesing is complete, it now invokes
conn-&gt;login_work -&gt; iscsi_target_do_login_rx() to perform cleanup once
existing iscsi_target_sk_check_close() checks detect connection failure.
For this case, the cleanup of remaining connection resources will occur
in iscsi_target_do_login_rx() from delayed workqueue process context
once the failure is detected.

<id>urn:sha1:f3cdbe39b2ab0636dec0d5d43b54f1061ce7566c</id>

We currently do

tcmu_free_device -&gt;tcmu_netlink_event(TCMU_CMD_REMOVED_DEVICE) -&gt;
uio_unregister_device -&gt; kfree(tcmu_dev).

The problem is that the kernel does not wait for userspace to
do the close() on the uio device before freeing the tcmu_dev.
We can then hit a race where the kernel frees the tcmu_dev before
userspace does close() and so when close() -&gt; release -&gt; tcmu_release
is done, we try to access a freed tcmu_dev.

This patch made over the target-pending master branch moves the freeing
of the tcmu_dev to when the last reference has been dropped.

This also fixes a leak where if tcmu_configure_device was not called on a
device we did not free udev-&gt;name which was allocated at tcmu_alloc_device time.

During v4.3 when the overflow/underflow check was relaxed by
commit c72c525022:

  commit c72c5250224d475614a00c1d7e54a67f77cd3410
  Author: Roland Dreier &lt;roland@purestorage.com&gt;
  Date:   Wed Jul 22 15:08:18 2015 -0700

       target: allow underflow/overflow for PR OUT etc. commands

to allow underflow/overflow for Windows compliance + FCP, a
consequence was to allow control CDBs to process overflow
data for iscsi-target with immediate data as well.

As per Roland's original change, continue to allow underflow
cases for control CDBs to make Windows compliance + FCP happy,
but until overflow for control CDBs is supported tree-wide,
explicitly reject all control WRITEs with overflow following
pre v4.3.y logic.

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Things were a lot more calm than previously expected. It's primarily
  fixes in various areas, with most of the new functionality centering
  around TCMU backend driver work that Xiubo Li has been driving.

  Here's the summary on the feature side:

   - Make T10-PI verify configurable for emulated (FILEIO + RD) backends
    (Dmitry Monakhov)
   - Allow target-core/TCMU pass-through to use in-kernel SPC-PR logic
    (Bryant Ly + MNC)
   - Add TCMU support for growing ring buffer size (Xiubo Li + MNC)
   - Add TCMU support for global block data pool (Xiubo Li + MNC)

  and on the bug-fix side:

   - Fix COMPARE_AND_WRITE non GOOD status handling for READ phase
    failures (Gary Guo + nab)
   - Fix iscsi-target hang with explicitly changing per NodeACL
    CmdSN number depth with concurrent login driven session
    reinstatement.  (Gary Guo + nab)
   - Fix ibmvscsis fabric driver ABORT task handling (Bryant Ly)
   - Fix target-core/FILEIO zero length handling (Bart Van Assche)

  Also, there was an OOPs introduced with the WRITE_VERIFY changes that
  I ended up reverting at the last minute, because as not unusual Bart
  and I could not agree on the fix in time for -rc1. Since it's specific
  to a conformance test, it's been reverted for now.

  There is a separate patch in the queue to address the underlying
  control CDB write overflow regression in &gt;= v4.3 separate from the
  WRITE_VERIFY revert here, that will be pushed post -rc1"

  Date:   Thu Mar 30 10:12:39 2017 -0700

      target: Fix VERIFY and WRITE VERIFY command parsing

This patch broke existing behaviour for WRITE_VERIFY because
it dropped the original SCF_SCSI_DATA_CDB assignment for
bytchk = 0 so target_cmd_size_check() no longer rejected
this case, allowing an overflow case to trigger an OOPs
in iscsi-target.

Since the short term and long term fixes are still being
discussed, revert it for now since it's late in the merge
window and try again in v4.13-rc1.

This patch fixes zero-length READ and WRITE handling in target/FILEIO,
which was broken a long time back by:

Since:

  commit d81cb44726f050d7cf1be4afd9cb45d153b52066
  Author: Paolo Bonzini &lt;pbonzini@redhat.com&gt;
  Date:   Mon Sep 17 16:36:11 2012 -0700

      target: go through normal processing for all zero-length commands

which moved zero-length READ and WRITE completion out of target-core,
to doing submission into backend driver code.

To address this, go ahead and invoke target_complete_cmd() for any
non negative return value in fd_do_rw().
