[PATCH 2/2] scsi: don't reference freed command in scsi_prep_return

In the kill case of scsi_prep_return we have to release our device reference, but we do this trying to reference the just freed command. Use the local sdev pointer instead. Reported-by: Joe Lawrence joe.lawre...@stratus.com Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig h...@lst.de --- drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c

[PATCH 1/2] scsi: don't reference freed command in scsi_init_sgtable

[PATCH 4/5] tgt: defconfig cleanup

From: Bart Van Assche bvanass...@acm.org Because of the removal of the scsi_tgt kernel module, the kbuild variables CONFIG_SCSI_TGT, CONFIG_SCSI_SRP_TGT_ATTRS and CONFIG_SCSI_FC_TGT_ATTRS are obsolete. This patch removes these variables. This patch is the result of the following command: find

[PATCH 3/5] tgt: removal

From: Bart Van Assche bvanass...@acm.org Now that the ibmvstgt driver as the only user of scsi_tgt is gone, the scsi_tgt kernel module, the CONFIG_SCSI_TGT, CONFIG_SCSI_SRP_TGT_ATTRS and CONFIG_SCSI_FC_TGT_ATTRS kbuild variable, the scsi_host_template transfer_response method are no longer

tgt infrastructure removal

This removes the old tgt infrastructure that has never been used except for the obsolete ibmvstgt hardware (for which a working scst and a never fully working lio driver exists). By it's intimate tie-in into the initiator layer it gets massively in the way of improvements in the initiator, most

[PATCH] target: Allow non-supporting backends to set pi_prot_type to 0

Userspace tools assume if a value is read from configfs, it is valid and will not cause an error if the same value is written back. The only valid value for pi_prot_type for backends not supporting DIF is 0, so allow this particular value to be set without returning an error. Reported-by:
