Subject: [PATCH] scsi: target: tcm_loop: Drain commands in target_reset
 handler
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

tcm_loop_target_reset() violates the SCSI EH contract: it returns SUCCESS
without draining any in-flight commands.  The SCSI EH documentation
(scsi_eh.rst) requires that when a reset handler returns SUCCESS the driver
has made lower layers "forget about timed out scmds" and is ready for new
commands.  Every other SCSI LLD (virtio_scsi, mpt3sas, ipr, scsi_debug,
mpi3mr) enforces this by draining or completing outstanding commands before
returning SUCCESS.

Because tcm_loop_target_reset() doesn't drain, the SCSI EH reuses in-flight
scsi_cmnd structures for recovery commands (e.g. TUR) while the target core
still has async completion work queued for the old se_cmd.  The memset in
queuecommand zeroes se_lun and lun_ref_active, causing
transport_lun_remove_cmd() to skip its percpu_ref_put().  The leaked LUN
reference prevents transport_clear_lun_ref() from completing, hanging
configfs LUN unlink forever in D-state:

  INFO: task rm:264 blocked for more than 122 seconds.
  rm              D    0   264    258 0x00004000
  Call Trace:
   __schedule+0x3d0/0x8e0
   schedule+0x36/0xf0
   transport_clear_lun_ref+0x78/0x90 [target_core_mod]

   configfs_unlink+0x156/0x1f0 [configfs]
   vfs_unlink+0x109/0x290
   do_unlinkat+0x1d5/0x2d0

Fix this by making tcm_loop_target_reset() actually drain commands:

 1. Issue TMR_LUN_RESET via tcm_loop_issue_tmr() to drain all commands that
    the target core knows about (those not yet CMD_T_COMPLETE).

 2. Use blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() to iterate all started requests and
    flush_work() on each se_cmd — this drains any deferred completion work
    for commands that already had CMD_T_COMPLETE set before the TMR (which
    the TMR skips via __target_check_io_state()).  This is the same pattern
    used by mpi3mr, scsi_debug, and libsas to drain outstanding commands
    during reset.
