scsi: mvumi: quarantine a timed-out internal command's buffers
This commit marks internal commands that time out in
mvumi_issue_blocked_cmd() and places their DMA buffers on mhba->res_list in
mvumi_delete_internal_cmd() so they are not freed until driver unload.

[Severity: Critical]
This problem wasn't introduced by this patch, but does reconstructing
phy_addr [1] truncate the upper 32 bits and miss endianness conversions?
m_sg->baseaddr_h is a u32, so (m_sg->baseaddr_h << 16) << 16 is evaluated in
32-bit arithmetic and zeroes the upper bits before the cast to dma_addr_t,
and neither baseaddr_l nor baseaddr_h is converted with le32_to_cpu().
Passing the corrupted phy_addr to dma_free_coherent() or
mvumi_quarantine_buf() causes IOMMU faults or frees the wrong DMA mapping on
64-bit or big-endian systems.

[Severity: Medium]
Can mvumi_probe_devices() reuse cmd->frame and cmd->data_buf after a timeout
without quarantining them first?
mvumi_inquiry() only calls mvumi_delete_internal_cmd() when its caller passed
a NULL cmd, but its sole caller mvumi_probe_devices() allocates a single cmd
up front and reuses it across every target ID:
drivers/scsi/mvumi.c:mvumi_probe_devices() {
cmd = mvumi_create_internal_cmd(mhba, 64);
...
for (id = 0; id < maxid; id++) {
wwid = mvumi_inquiry(mhba, id, cmd);
...
}
if (cmd)
mvumi_delete_internal_cmd(mhba, cmd);
}
When mvumi_issue_blocked_cmd() times out on target id, the next loop
iteration zeroes cmd->data_buf, overwrites cmd->frame, pops the just-released
tag from mhba->tag_pool, and resubmits the same DMA buffers while the
controller may still DMA to or read from them for the timed-out command.
In addition, if mvumi_match_devices() returns -1 in that loop,
mvumi_probe_devices() returns early without calling
mvumi_delete_internal_cmd().

[Severity: Critical]
This problem wasn't introduced by this patch, but can a completion arriving
just as wait_event_timeout() expires race with this timeout path [2]
and double-release cmd->frame->tag?
cmd->sync_cmd is checked before acquiring mhba->shost->host_lock and is not
rechecked under the lock:
CPU0 CPU1
mvumi_issue_blocked_cmd()
wait_event_timeout(...)
if (atomic_read(&cmd->sync_cmd))
mvumi_isr_handler()
spin_lock_irqsave(&host_lock, ...)
...
atomic_dec(&cmd->sync_cmd)
mhba->tag_cmd[tag] = NULL
tag_release_one(..., tag)
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&host_lock, ...)
mvumi_queue_command()
spin_lock_irqsave(&host_lock, ...)
tag_get_one(...) /* gets same tag */
mhba->tag_cmd[tag] = new_cmd
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&host_lock, ...)
spin_lock_irqsave(&host_lock, ...)
atomic_dec(&cmd->sync_cmd)
if (mhba->tag_cmd[tag])
mhba->tag_cmd[tag] = NULL
tag_release_one(..., tag) <-- frees new_cmd's active tag
Releasing an active tag back into mhba->tag_pool allows it to be handed out
to a third command while new_cmd is still in flight, corrupting tag_pool and
misdirecting command completions.
