Subject: [PATCH 0/4] target: Close se_node_acl lookup race

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@...ux-iscsi.org>

Hi folks,

This series addresses a long standing race between when
fabric driver se_node_acl lookup and associated pointer
dereference happens, and when kref_get() of ->acl_kref
actually occurs within __transport_register_session()
code.

To address this bug, patch #1 makes get_initiator_node_acl
lookup obtain ->acl_kref while ->acl_node_mutex is held,
and uses existing core_tpg_del_initiator_node_acl() logic
for shutdown based on struct kref + struct completion.

Also while auditing existing se_node_acl lookup users,
there is one particular case in target-core during session
queue depth change where lookup is completely unnecessary.
Go ahead and drop this pointless lookup in patch #2.

Finally, convert the last two remaining fabric drivers
that once upon a time where using some manner of internal
or quasi internal driver methods for node acl lookup.
Do this for tcm_fc + ib_srpt drivers in patch #3 + #4.

Please review,

--nab
