      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)
