      iscsi-target: Drop bogus struct file usage for iSCSI/SCTP · bf6932f4
      Al Viro authored
      From Al Viro:
      
      	BTW, speaking of struct file treatment related to sockets -
              there's this piece of code in iscsi:
              /*
               * The SCTP stack needs struct socket->file.
               */
              if ((np->np_network_transport == ISCSI_SCTP_TCP) ||
                  (np->np_network_transport == ISCSI_SCTP_UDP)) {
                      if (!new_sock->file) {
                              new_sock->file = kzalloc(
                                              sizeof(struct file), GFP_KERNEL);
      
      For one thing, as far as I can see it'not true - sctp does *not* depend on
      socket->file being non-NULL; it does, in one place, check socket->file->f_flags
      for O_NONBLOCK, but there it treats NULL socket->file as "flag not set".
      Which is the case here anyway - the fake struct file created in
      __iscsi_target_login_thread() (and in iscsi_target_setup_login_socket(), with
      the same excuse) do *not* get that flag set.
      
      Moreover, it's a bloody serious violation of a bunch of asserts in VFS;
      all struct file instances should come from filp_cachep, via get_empty_filp()
      (or alloc_file(), which is a wrapper for it).  FWIW, I'm very tempted to
      do this and be done with the entire mess:

      target: Allow for target_submit_cmd() returning errors · d6dfc868
      Roland Dreier authored
      We want it to be possible for target_submit_cmd() to return errors up
      to its fabric module callers.  For now just update the prototype to
      return an int, and update all callers to handle non-zero return values
      as an error.
      
      This is immediately useful for tcm_qla2xxx to fix a long-standing active
      I/O session shutdown race, but tcm_fc, usb-gadget, and sbp-target the
      fabric maintainers need to check + ACK that handling a target_submit_cmd()
      failure due to session shutdown does not introduce regressions
      
      (nab: Respin against for-next after initial NACK + update docbook comment +
            fix double se_cmd init in exception path for usb-gadget)
