Nicholas Bellinger 73d4e580cc target: Fix kref->refcount underflow in transport_cmd_finish_abort
This patch fixes a se_cmd->cmd_kref underflow during CMD_T_ABORTED
when a fabric driver drops it's second reference from below the
target_core_tmr.c based callers of transport_cmd_finish_abort().

Recently with the conversion of kref to refcount_t, this bug was
manifesting itself as:

[705519.601034] refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
[705519.604034] INFO: NMI handler (kgdb_nmi_handler) took too long to run: 20116.512 msecs
[705539.719111] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[705539.719117] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 26510 at lib/refcount.c:184 refcount_sub_and_test+0x33/0x51

Since the original kref atomic_t based kref_put() didn't check for
underflow and only invoked the final callback when zero was reached,
this bug did not manifest in practice since all se_cmd memory is
using preallocated tags.

To address this, go ahead and propigate the existing return from
transport_put_cmd() up via transport_cmd_finish_abort(), and
change transport_cmd_finish_abort() + core_tmr_handle_tas_abort()
callers to only do their local target_put_sess_cmd() if necessary.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
