The TCM_LOOP LUN creation process calls device_register() to create the
device, which in turn invokes tcm_loop_driver_probe() registered with
the TCM_LOOP bus to create and register the scsi_host. However, if the
scsi_host memory allocation fails or scsi_add_host() fails, the
device_register() process still returns success. Subsequently, when the
user binds the LUN to a specific backend device, it accesses the NULL or
freed scsi_host.

This issue is fixed by:
1. Setting the tcm_loop_hba's scsi_host to NULL, if scsi_add_host()
fails.
2. Checking the tcm_loop_hba's scsi_host after device_register().
3. Checking the tcm_loop_hba's scsi_host in tcm_loop_driver_remove().

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:

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.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

In clang version 21.1 and later the -Wimplicit-enum-enum-cast warning
option has been introduced. This warning is enabled by default and can
be used to catch .queuecommand() implementations that return another
value than 0 or one of the SCSI_MLQUEUE_* constants. Hence this patch
that changes the return type of the .queuecommand() implementations from
'int' into 'enum scsi_qc_status'. No functionality has been changed.

When the tcm_loop_nr_hw_queues is set to a value greater than 1, the
tags of requests in the block layer are no longer unique. This may lead
to erroneous aborting of commands with the same tag. The issue can be
resolved by using blk_mq_unique_tag to generate globally unique
identifiers by combining the hardware queue index and per-queue tags.

This allows userspace to request the fabric drivers do direct submissions
if they support it. With the new device file, submit_type, users can
write 0 - 2 to control how commands are submitted to the backend:
0 - TARGET_FABRIC_DEFAULT_SUBMIT - LIO will use the fabric's default
submission type. This is the default for compat.
1 - TARGET_DIRECT_SUBMIT - LIO will submit the cmd to the backend from the
calling context if the fabric the cmd was received on supports it,
else it will use the fabric's default type.
2 - TARGET_QUEUE_SUBMIT - LIO will queue the cmd to the LIO submission
workqueue which will pass it to the backend.
When using an NVMe drive and vhost-scsi with direct submission we see
around a 20% improvement in 4K I/Os:
fio jobs 1 2 4 8 10
--------------------------------------------------
defer 94K 190K 394K 770K 890K
direct 128K 252K 488K 950K -
And when using the queueing mode, we now no longer see issues like where
the iSCSI tx thread is blocked in the block layer waiting on a tag so it
can't respond to a nop or perform I/Os for other LUs.

In some cases, like with multiple LUN targets or where the target has to
respond to transport level requests from the receiving context it can be
better to defer cmd submission to a helper thread. If the backend driver
blocks on something like request/tag allocation it can block the entire
target submission path and other LUs and transport IO on that session.
In other cases like single LUN targets with storage that can support all
the commands that the target can queue, then it's best to submit the cmd
to the backend from the target's cmd receiving context.
Subsequent commits will allow the user to config what they prefer, but
drivers like loop can't directly submit because they can be called from a
context that can't sleep. And, drivers like vhost-scsi can support direct
submission, but need to keep their default behavior of deferring execution
to avoid possible regressions where the backend can block.
Make the drivers tell LIO core if they support direct submissions and their
current default, so we can prevent users from misconfiguring the system and
initialize devices correctly.

If device_register() fails in tcm_loop_setup_hba_bus(), the name allocated
by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment of device_register() says, it
should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. So fix
this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
The 'tl_hba' will be freed in tcm_loop_release_adapter(), so it don't need
goto error label in this case.

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"This series consists of the usual driver updates (ufs, qla2xxx,
target, smartpqi, lpfc, mpt3sas).
The core change causing the most churn was replacing the command
request field request with a macro, allowing us to offset map to it
and remove the redundant field; the same was also done for the tag
field.
The most impactful change is the final removal of scsi_ioctl, which
has been deprecated for over a decade"
