[PATCH 0/3] target: Miscellaneous XCOPY bugfixes for v3.12-rc7 code

[Nicholas A. Bellinger]

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi folks,

The following series is a handful XCOPY related fixes for v3.12-rc7 code
based upon a recent bug-report from Thomas + Doug wrt to XCOPY local I/O
operations across source + destination devices with non-matching block_sizes.

The first patch adds the missing XCOPY I/O operation sense_buffer setup
that was triggering the original OOPs.  The second patch addresses the
case where a non-zero scsi_status was incorrectly returning GOOD status
for locally generated XCOPY I/O exceptions.

The final patch adds an explicit check + failure for XCOPY operations across
source + destination devices with non-matching block_sizes.

Note this limitiation is currently due to the fact that the scatterlist
memory allocated for the XCOPY READ operation is passed zero-copy for use
by the subsequent XCOPY WRITE operation.  For v3.12 code it makes sense to
go ahead and explicitly prevent this from occurring, and the plan is to add
a slow-path memcpy to address this special case in post v3.12 code.

Thanks!
