[PATCH 0/1] zfcp: patch for 3.2-rc

[Steffen Maier]

James,

here is a zfcp fix for 3.2-rc to apply on top of the current
scsi-rc-fixes-2.6.

This also needs to find its way into all stable versions your 4e6c82b
goes to, so I adopted the #2.6.38+ for stable on CC.

[PATCH 1/1] zfcp: return early from slave_destroy if slave_alloc returned early

[Steffen Maier]

[-- Attachment #1: 700-zfcp-only-finish-slave_destroy-if-slave_alloc-finished.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1249 bytes --]

From: Steffen Maier <maier@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

zfcp_scsi_slave_destroy erroneously always tried to finish its task
even if the corresponding previous zfcp_scsi_slave_alloc returned
early. This can lead to kernel page faults on accessing uninitialized
fields of struct zfcp_scsi_dev in zfcp_erp_lun_shutdown_wait. Take the
port field of the struct to determine if slave_alloc returned early.

This zfcp bug is exposed by 4e6c82b (in turn fixing f7c9c6b to be
compatible with 21208ae) which can call slave_destroy for a
corresponding previous slave_alloc that did not finish.

This patch is based on James Bottomley's fix suggestion in
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg55449.html.
