qla24xx_report_id_acquisition() format-1 handling takes the vport
reference under vport_slock but drops it outside the lock, after setting
vp->vp_flags and vp->dpc_flags:
set_bit(VP_IDX_ACQUIRED, &vp->vp_flags);
set_bit(REGISTER_FC4_NEEDED, &vp->dpc_flags);
set_bit(REGISTER_FDMI_NEEDED, &vp->dpc_flags);
atomic_dec(&vp->vref_count);
Neither set_bit() nor atomic_dec() imply a memory barrier, so on a weakly
ordered architecture the decrement can become visible before the flag
stores. qla24xx_deallocate_vp_id() polls vref_count under vport_slock and
unlinks the vport once it reads zero, after which qla24xx_vport_delete()
frees it via scsi_host_put(). The poller could therefore observe
vref_count == 0 early and tear the vport down while the pending vp_flags/
dpc_flags stores land on freed memory.
Drop the reference under vport_slock, as is done for the matching
increment and by every other vref_count user. The unlock release pairs
with the deallocate poller's lock acquire so the flag stores are ordered
before vref_count == 0 can be observed.

[ commit 1154b16439ffc562f9461494c4508c63446eb684 upstream ]
Overview
This is the source code repository of the SCST project. SCST is a collection of Linux kernel drivers that implement SCSI target functionality. The SCST project includes:
- The SCST core in the scst/ subdirectory.
- A tool for loading, saving and modifying the SCST configuration in directory scstadmin/.
- Several SCSI target drivers in the directories iscsi-scst/, qla2x00t-32gbit/, qla2x00t/, srpt/, scst_local/ and fcst/.
- User space programs in the usr/ subdirectory, e.g. fileio_tgt.
- Various documentation in the doc/ subdirectory.
Documentation
- Building and installing SCST.
- Build options: Clang, cross-compilation, and kernel module signing.
- Configuration and administration: targets, devices,
LUNs, and
/etc/scst.conf. - Core and device handlers: operating modes, module parameters, and sysfs configuration.
- Target drivers: iSCSI, iSER, QLogic Fibre Channel, SRP, FCoE, and local loopback.
- Performance tuning.
- Clustered persistent reservations: synchronization through DLM.
- T10 protection information: data integrity modes and configuration.
- Developer references: architecture and userspace handler interface (SGML sources), and sysfs interface rules.
- Contributing: code style, commit conventions, local checks, and guides to KUnit and component testing.
Current master packages
Prebuilt x86_64 packages from the latest successfully published master
build are available in the rolling
master-rpm prerelease.
These are development snapshots, not SCST releases.
The snapshot contains RPM bundles for selected Rocky Linux and Oracle Linux
UEK kernels. It also contains Ubuntu LTS bundles with scst-dkms, scstadmin
and iscsi-scst binary packages and their Debian source package files. Exact
distribution releases and RPM kernel versions are included in the asset names.
Every .tar.gz bundle has a matching .sha256 file. The complete snapshot is
replaced after each successful package workflow for the current master
commit.
QLogic target driver
Two QLogic target drivers are included in the SCST project.
The default driver is located in the qla2x00t-32gbit directory. It is the newer one.
May anyone wish to switch back to the older driver that only supported up to
16 Gb/s adapters, it is located in qla2x00t directory. To make use of the
older driver build scst with environment variable QLA_32GBIT=no set.
