Benjamin Block dac37e15b7 scsi: zfcp: fix use-after-"free" in FC ingress path after TMF
When SCSI EH invokes zFCP's callbacks for eh_device_reset_handler() and
eh_target_reset_handler(), it expects us to relent the ownership over
the given scsi_cmnd and all other scsi_cmnds within the same scope - LUN
or target - when returning with SUCCESS from the callback ('release'
them).  SCSI EH can then reuse those commands.

We did not follow this rule to release commands upon SUCCESS; and if
later a reply arrived for one of those supposed to be released commands,
we would still make use of the scsi_cmnd in our ingress tasklet. This
will at least result in undefined behavior or a kernel panic because of
a wrong kernel pointer dereference.

To fix this, we NULLify all pointers to scsi_cmnds (struct zfcp_fsf_req
*)->data in the matching scope if a TMF was successful. This is done
under the locks (struct zfcp_adapter *)->abort_lock and (struct
zfcp_reqlist *)->lock to prevent the requests from being removed from
the request-hashtable, and the ingress tasklet from making use of the
scsi_cmnd-pointer in zfcp_fsf_fcp_cmnd_handler().

For cases where a reply arrives during SCSI EH, but before we get a
chance to NULLify the pointer - but before we return from the callback
-, we assume that the code is protected from races via the CAS operation
in blk_complete_request() that is called in scsi_done().

The following stacktrace shows an example for a crash resulting from the
previous behavior:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
