[PATCH 3.16 176/233] target: Fix kref->refcount underflow in transport_cmd_finish_abort

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.48-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 73d4e580ccc5c3e05cea002f18111f66c9c07034 upstream.

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.
