Title
scsi: target: tcm_loop: Drain commands in target_reset handler
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: target: tcm_loop: Drain commands in target_reset handler tcm_loop_target_reset() violates the SCSI EH contract: it returns SUCCESS without draining any in-flight commands. The SCSI EH documentation (scsi_eh.rst) requires that when a reset handler returns SUCCESS the driver has made lower layers "forget about timed out scmds" and is ready for new commands. Every other SCSI LLD (virtio_scsi, mpt3sas, ipr, scsi_debug, mpi3mr) enforces this by draining or completing outstanding commands before returning SUCCESS. Because tcm_loop_target_reset() doesn't drain, the SCSI EH reuses in-flight scsi_cmnd structures for recovery commands (e.g. TUR) while the target core still has async completion work queued for the old se_cmd. The memset in queuecommand zeroes se_lun and lun_ref_active, causing transport_lun_remove_cmd() to skip its percpu_ref_put(). The leaked LUN reference prevents transport_clear_lun_ref() from completing, hanging configfs LUN unlink forever in D-state: INFO: task rm:264 blocked for more than 122 seconds. rm D 0 264 258 0x00004000 Call Trace: __schedule+0x3d0/0x8e0 schedule+0x36/0xf0 transport_clear_lun_ref+0x78/0x90 [target_core_mod] core_tpg_remove_lun+0x28/0xb0 [target_core_mod] target_fabric_port_unlink+0x50/0x60 [target_core_mod] configfs_unlink+0x156/0x1f0 [configfs] vfs_unlink+0x109/0x290 do_unlinkat+0x1d5/0x2d0 Fix this by making tcm_loop_target_reset() actually drain commands: 1. Issue TMR_LUN_RESET via tcm_loop_issue_tmr() to drain all commands that the target core knows about (those not yet CMD_T_COMPLETE). 2. Use blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() to iterate all started requests and flush_work() on each se_cmd — this drains any deferred completion work for commands that already had CMD_T_COMPLETE set before the TMR (which the TMR skips via __target_check_io_state()). This is the same pattern used by mpi3mr, scsi_debug, and libsas to drain outstanding commands during reset.

Every other SCSI LLD (virtio_scsi, mpt3sas, ipr, scsi_debug,\\nmpi3mr) enforces this by draining or completing outstanding commands before\\nreturning SUCCESS.\\n\\nBecause tcm_loop_target_reset() doesn\u0027t drain, the SCSI EH reuses in-flight\\nscsi_cmnd structures for recovery commands (e.g. TUR) while the target core\\nstill has async completion work queued for the old se_cmd.  The memset in\\nqueuecommand zeroes se_lun and lun_ref_active, causing\\ntransport_lun_remove_cmd() to skip its percpu_ref_put().  The leaked LUN\\nreference prevents transport_clear_lun_ref() from completing, hanging\\nconfigfs LUN unlink forever in D-state:\\n\\n  INFO: task rm:264 blocked for more than 122 seconds.\\n  rm              D    0   264    258 0x00004000\\n  Call Trace:\\n   __schedule+0x3d0/0x8e0\\n   schedule+0x36/0xf0\\n   transport_clear_lun_ref+0x78/0x90 [target_core_mod]\\n   core_tpg_remove_lun+0x28/0xb0 [target_core_mod]\\n   target_fabric_port_unlink+0x50/0x60 [target_core_mod]\\n   configfs_unlink+0x156/0x1f0 [configfs]\\n   vfs_unlink+0x109/0x290\\n   do_unlinkat+0x1d5/0x2d0\\n\\nFix this by making tcm_loop_target_reset() actually drain commands:\\n\\n 1. Issue TMR_LUN_RESET via tcm_loop_issue_tmr() to drain all commands that\\n    the target core knows about (those not yet CMD_T_COMPLETE).\\n\\n 2. Use blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter() to iterate all started requests and\\n    flush_work() on each se_cmd \u2014 this drains any deferred completion work\\n    for commands that already had CMD_T_COMPLETE set before the TMR (which\\n    the TMR skips via __target_check_io_state()).  This is the same pattern\\n    used by mpi3mr, scsi_debug, and libsas to drain outstanding commands\\n    during reset.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H\",\"baseScore\":5.5,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":3.6}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-772\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"5.13\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.15.203\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"985804EB-66D2-4D4A-AF5D-D7A87E940EEE\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"5.16\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.1.168\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"E2DDDCA1-6DAB-4018-B920-8F045DDD8D3B\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.2\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.6.134\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"F56F925B-BAF8-4F4B-B62F-1496AF19A307\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.7\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.12.81\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"6EF80433-B33B-43C5-8E64-0FA7B8DCE1BC\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.13\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.18.22\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"C9DF8BCE-36D3-475D-9D21-19E4F02F9029\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"6.19\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"6.19.12\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"0A2B9540-02D5-41B4-B16A-82AF66FD4F36\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.0:rc1:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"F253B622-8837-4245-BCE5-A7BF8FC76A16\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.0:rc2:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"4AE85AD8-4641-4E7C-A2F4-305E2CD9EE64\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.0:rc3:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"F666C8D8-6538-46D4-B318-87610DE64C34\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.0:rc4:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"02259FDA-961B-47BC-AE7F-93D7EC6E90C2\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:7.0:rc5:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"58A9FEFF-C040-420D-8F0A-BFDAAA1DF258\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/05ac3754467363558a0a54ae4bb7c89b2c9574cf\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/103f79e4949513247d763c6e7f3cbbf62017afdf\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1333eee56cdf3f0cf67c6ab4114c2c9e0a952026\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/15f5241d5a52364a7e7867b49128b0442dbcad9d\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/757c43c692294cdfad31390accc0e90429b2ef8a\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7cbd69aaa507b1245240a28022bf5da0f07c68d9\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a836054ea81014117ec6b73529a21626a9e1f829\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]}]}}"
