[PATCH 3.14 79/79] target: Allow Write Exclusive non-reservation holders to READ

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 24 2015 - 13:01:53 EST


3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Lee Duncan <lduncan@xxxxxxxx>

commit 1ecc7586922662e3ca2f3f0c3f17fec8749fc621 upstream.

For PGR reservation of type Write Exclusive Access, allow all non
reservation holding I_T nexuses with active registrations to READ
from the device.

This addresses a bug where active registrations that attempted
to READ would result in an reservation conflict.
