Subject: [PATCH 00/20] scsi: ibmvfc: Fixes and cleanup for NVMe/FC support
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 16:09:01 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916230921.2204729-1-tyreld@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
This series addresses a collection of bugs and corner cases introduced with in
the recently merged NVMe/FC support for the ibmvfc driver.
The NVMe/FC code added a parallel target management path, a new set of
sub-CRQ channels (nvme_scrqs), and integration with the nvme-fc transport
layer alongside the existing SCSI infrastructure. Several issues crept in
during that integration: missing initialisation, incorrect locking, blocking
calls in atomic context, and logic errors in shared code paths that were not
previously exercised by the SCSI-only driver.
The fixes fall into a few broad categories:
- Correctness in the NVMe FCP/LS I/O path: initialise evt->tgt, fix trace
logging reading SCSI IU fields for NVMe events, and ensure H_CLOSED send
failures call fcp_req->done() so the transport is not silently stalled.
- Locking and context fixes: defer nvme_fc_register_localport() out of the
MAD completion handler (which runs under host_lock with IRQs disabled),
and make the FCP and LS abort callbacks fully asynchronous to eliminate
blocking wait_for_completion() calls on the same path.
- Data races and UAF: protect tgt->nvme_remote_port reads and writes with
host_lock, fix a use-after-free and stall in the LS abort timeout handler,
and handle ibmvfc_send_event() failure in ibmvfc_cancel_all_mq() to
prevent a hang and UAF on queued cancel events.
- Shared-path bugs exposed by NVMe: fix an uninitialised _done dereference
for SCSI TMF events on send failure, an uninitialised shwqs stack variable
in ibmvfc_purge_requests(), a u16 overflow of max_cmds in
ibmvfc_set_login_info() reachable with combined SCSI and NVMe queue
counts, and a wrong target action in the implicit logout NULL-evt error
path that caused an infinite reset loop.
- Lifecycle and resource management: call ibmvfc_nvme_unregister() on
adapter removal and before ibmvfc_release_sub_crqs() to close a TOCTOU
race in ibmvfc_nvme_create_queue(), guard against local port leaks on
link bounce, and fix NVMe sub-queue registration failure incorrectly
disabling SCSI multiqueue.
- Concurrency in target discovery: serialise the SCSI and NVMe
discover-targets MADs so both completions have written their target counts
before ibmvfc_alloc_targets() runs.
- Minor fixes: correct an inverted suppress-ABTS capability check in the
NVMe TMF path, fix an uninitialised status variable logged on LS abort
send failure, and honour the nr_nvme_hw_queues module parameter when
sizing NVMe queues at probe time.
