      Pull scsi target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger:
       "These are the current target pending fixes headed for v3.7-rc4 code.
        This includes the following highlights:
      
         - Fix long-standing qla2xxx target bug where certain fc_port_t state
           transitions could cause the internal session b-tree list to become
           out-of-sync.  (Roland)
         - Fix task management double free of se_cmd descriptor in exception
           path for users of target_submit_tmr().  (nab)
         - Re-introduce simple NOP emulation of REZERO_UNIT, SEEK_6, and
           SEEK_10 SCSI-2 commands in order to support legacy initiators that
           still require them.  (Bernhard)
      
        Note these three patches are also CC'ed to stable.
      
        Also, there a couple of outstanding (external) regressions that are
        still being tracked down for tcm_fc(FCoE) and tcm_vhost fabrics for
        v3.7.0 code, so please expect another PULL as these issues identified
        -> resolved."

      KVM: x86: fix vcpu->mmio_fragments overflow · 87da7e66
      Xiao Guangrong authored
      After commit b3356bf0
      
       (KVM: emulator: optimize "rep ins" handling),
      the pieces of io data can be collected and write them to the guest memory
      or MMIO together
      
      Unfortunately, kvm splits the mmio access into 8 bytes and store them to
      vcpu->mmio_fragments. If the guest uses "rep ins" to move large data, it
      will cause vcpu->mmio_fragments overflow
      
      The bug can be exposed by isapc (-M isapc):
      
      [23154.818733] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
      [ ......]
      [23154.858083] Call Trace:
      [23154.859874]  [<ffffffffa04f0e17>] kvm_get_cr8+0x1d/0x28 [kvm]
      [23154.861677]  [<ffffffffa04fa6d4>] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xcda/0xe45 [kvm]
      [23154.863604]  [<ffffffffa04f5a1a>] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_load+0x17b/0x180 [kvm]
      
      Actually, we can use one mmio_fragment to store a large mmio access then
      split it when we pass the mmio-exit-info to userspace. After that, we only
      need two entries to store mmio info for the cross-mmio pages access

      xen/mmu: Use Xen specific TLB flush instead of the generic one. · 95a7d768
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored
      
      
      As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the
      hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead
      we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb)
      we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But
      before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the
      vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor
      perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them
      up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor
      do it correctly.
      
      This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating
      idle guest's from one host to another.
