30f359a6f9 target: Fix incorrect fallthrough of ALUA Standby/Offline/Transition CDBs
This patch fixes a bug where a handful of informational / control CDBs
that should be allowed during ALUA access state Standby/Offline/Transition
where incorrectly returning CHECK_CONDITION + ASCQ_04H_ALUA_TG_PT_*.

This includes INQUIRY + REPORT_LUNS, which would end up preventing LUN
registration when LUN scanning occured during these ALUA access states.

de103c93af target: pass sense_reason as a return value
Pass the sense reason as an explicit return value from the I/O submission
path instead of storing it in struct se_cmd and using negative return
values.  This cleans up a lot of the code pathes, and with the sparse
annotations for the new sense_reason_t type allows for much better
error checking.

59e4f541ba target: Return error to initiator if SET TARGET PORT GROUPS emulation fails
The error paths in target_emulate_set_target_port_groups() are all
essentially "rc = -EINVAL; goto out;" but the code at "out:" ignores
rc and always returns success.  This means that even if eg explicit
ALUA is turned off, the initiator will always see a good SCSI status
for SET TARGET PORT GROUPS.

Fix this by returning rc as is intended.  It appears this bug was
added by the following patch:

5b9a4d7280 target: Add MI_REPORT_TARGET_PGS ext. header + implict_trans_secs attribute
This patch adds support for ALUA MI_REPORT_TARGET_PGS extended header
format defined within SPC-4.  It changes target core ALUA emulation logic
within target_emulate_report_target_port_groups() to support both the
extended and original length only header formats.

It includes adding a new 'implict_trans_secs' attribute for each ALUA
target port group to control the value returned to the application client
for an recommended implict translation timeout in seconds.  By default
this value is currently set to zero, and limited up to 255 by virtue of
using a single byte in the extended header format.

This value is used by target_emulate_report_target_port_groups() within
the extended header logic to set IMPLICIT TRANSITION TIME as defined by
spc4r30.

03e98c9eb9 target: Address legacy PYX_TRANSPORT_* return code breakage
This patch removes legacy usage of PYX_TRANSPORT_* return codes in a number
of locations and addresses cases where transport_generic_request_failure()
was returning the incorrect sense upon CHECK_CONDITION status after the
v3.1 converson to use errno return codes.

This includes the conversion of transport_generic_request_failure() to
process cmd->scsi_sense_reason and handle extra TCM_RESERVATION_CONFLICT
before calling transport_send_check_condition_and_sense() to queue up
response status.  It also drops PYX_TRANSPORT_OUT_OF_MEMORY_RESOURCES legacy
usgae, and returns TCM_LOGICAL_UNIT_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE w/ a response
for these cases.

transport_generic_allocate_tasks(), transport_generic_new_cmd(), backend
SCF_SCSI_DATA_SG_IO_CDB ->do_task(), and emulated ->execute_task() have
all been updated to set se_cmd->scsi_sense_reason and return errno codes
universally upon failure.  This includes cmd->scsi_sense_reason assignment
in target_core_alua.c, target_core_pr.c and target_core_cdb.c emulation code.

Finally it updates fabric modules to remove the legacy usage, and for
TFO->new_cmd_map() callers forwards return values outside of fabric code.
iscsi-target has also been updated to remove a handful of special cases
related to the cleanup and signaling QUEUE_FULL handling w/ ft_write_pending()

(v2: Drop extra SCF_SCSI_CDB_EXCEPTION check during failure from
     transport_generic_new_cmd, and re-add missing task->task_error_status
     assignment in transport_complete_task)

6b20fa9aaf target: Fix REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS handling with small allocation length
This patch fixes a bug with the handling of REPORT TARGET PORT GROUPS
containing a smaller allocation length than the payload requires causing
memory writes beyond the end of the buffer.  This patch checks for the
minimum 4 byte length for the response payload length, and also checks
upon each loop of T10_ALUA(su_dev)->tg_pt_gps_list to ensure the Target
port group and Target port descriptor list is able to fit into the
remaining allocation length.

If the response payload exceeds the allocation length length, then rd_len
is still increments to indicate to the initiator that the payload has
been truncated.

05d1c7c0d0 target: Make all control CDBs scatter-gather
Previously, some control CDBs did not allocate memory in pages for their
data buffer, but just did a kmalloc. This patch makes all cdbs allocate
pages.

This has the benefit of streamlining some paths that had to behave
differently when we used two allocation methods. The downside is that
all accesses to the data buffer need to kmap it before use, and need to
handle data in page-sized chunks if more than a page is needed for a given
command's data buffer.

Finally, note that cdbs with no data buffers are handled a little
differently. Before, SCSI_NON_DATA_CDBs would not call get_mem at all
(they'd be in the final else in transport_allocate_resources) but now
these will make it into generic_get_mem, but just not allocate any
buffers.
