2012-02-19[SCSI] libiscsi_tcp: fix max_r2t manipulationMike Christie
Problem description from Xi Wang: A large max_r2t could lead to integer overflow in subsequent call to iscsi_tcp_r2tpool_alloc(), allocating a smaller buffer than expected and leading to out-of-bounds write.

2011-03-23[SCSI] libiscsi_tcp: use kmap in xmit pathMike Christie
The xmit path can sleep with a page kmapped in the network xmit code while it waits for space to open up, so we have to use kmap instead of kmap atomic in that path. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>
2009-12-22kfifo: move struct kfifo in placeStefani Seibold
This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

2009-01-13[SCSI] iscsi_tcp: make padbuf non-staticKaren Xie
virt_to_page() call should not be used on kernel text and data addresses. virt_to_page() is used by sg_init_one(). So change padbuf to be allocated within iscsi_segment.

2008-12-29[SCSI] libiscsi_tcp: support padding offloadMike Christie
cxgb3i does not offload the processing of the header, but it will always process the padding. This patch adds a padding offload flag to detect when the LLD supports this. The patch also modifies the header processing so that we do not try to read/bypass the header dugest in the skb. cxgb3i will not include it with the header like with other offload cards.

2008-12-29[SCSI] iscsi_tcp: split module into lib and lldMike Christie
As explained in the previous mails, cxgb3i needs iscsi_tcp's r2t/data_out and data_in procesing so this just moves functions that both drivers want to use to a new module libiscsi_tcp. The next patch will hook iscsi_tcp in. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
