[PATCH 0/3] target: Bugfixes for .39-rc7

[Nicholas A. Bellinger]

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi James and Co,

My apologies for lateness with this bugfix series.  This series contains
three patches that should be considered critical target core bugfixes for
.39 that have been under stress testing in a couple of different labs
recently using lio-core-2.6.git/lio-4.1 (.39-rcX) and /lio-4.0 (.38.3)
branch code.

These are all important bugfixes that are required to run with in-flight
.40 HW target drivers in the upstream LIO tree.  This includes fixes for
the main transport_do_task_sg_chain() Data I/O mapping logic, and
task->task_sg[] shutdown path from MSI-X interrupt context.  These patches
apply for all of the following fabric drivers:

   tcm_fc(openfcoe) w/ ddp offload, tcm_qla2xxx, ib_srpt and ibmvscsis.

These patches address issues that are able to easily produce OOPsen with
small backstore max_sectors values, so please review+consider for .39 and
also queue into stable@xxxxxxxxxx for .38.

The series is also available here for a direct pull:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/scsi-post-merge-2.6.git for-39-rc-fixes

and has been made against the following scsi-rc-fixes HEAD:

Thanks!
