    Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending · c3351dfa

    Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
     "Here are the target updates for v3.18-rc2 code.  These where
      originally destined for -rc1, but due to the combination of travel
      last week for KVM Forum and my mistake of taking the three week merge
      window literally, the pull request slipped..  Apologies for that.
    
      Things where reasonably quiet this round.  The highlights include:
    
       - New userspace backend driver (target_core_user.ko) by Shaohua Li
         and Andy Grover
       - A number of cleanups in target, iscsi-taret and qla_target code
         from Joern Engel
       - Fix an OOPs related to queue full handling with CHECK_CONDITION
         status from Quinn Tran
       - Fix to disable TX completion interrupt coalescing in iser-target,
         that was causing problems on some hardware
       - Fix for PR APTPL metadata handling with demo-mode ACLs
    
      I'm most excited about the new backend driver that uses UIO + shared
      memory ring to dispatch I/O and control commands into user-space.
      This was probably the most requested feature by users over the last
      couple of years, and opens up a new area of development + porting of
      existing user-space storage applications to LIO.  Thanks to Shaohua +
      Andy for making this happen.
    
      Also another honorable mention, a new Xen PV SCSI driver was merged
      via the xen/tip.git tree recently, which puts us now at 10 target
      drivers in upstream! Thanks to David Vrabel + Juergen Gross for their
      work to get this code merged"
