Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending
Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
"The highlights this round include:
- Add target_alloc_session() w/ callback helper for doing se_session
allocation + tag + se_node_acl lookup. (HCH + nab)
- Tree-wide fabric driver conversion to use target_alloc_session()
- Convert sbp-target to use percpu_ida tag pre-allocation, and
TARGET_SCF_ACK_KREF I/O krefs (Chris Boot + nab)
- Convert usb-gadget to use percpu_ida tag pre-allocation, and
TARGET_SCF_ACK_KREF I/O krefs (Andrzej Pietrasiewicz + nab)
- Convert xen-scsiback to use percpu_ida tag pre-allocation, and
TARGET_SCF_ACK_KREF I/O krefs (Juergen Gross + nab)
- Convert tcm_fc to use TARGET_SCF_ACK_KREF I/O + TMR krefs
- Convert ib_srpt to use percpu_ida tag pre-allocation
- Add DebugFS node for qla2xxx target sess list (Quinn)
- Rework iser-target connection termination (Jenny + Sagi)
- Convert iser-target to new CQ API (HCH)
- Add pass-through WRITE_SAME support for IBLOCK (Mike Christie)
- Introduce data_bitmap for asynchronous access of data area (Sheng
Yang + Andy)
- Fix target_release_cmd_kref shutdown comp leak (Himanshu Madhani)
Also, there is a separate PULL request coming for cxgb4 NIC driver
prerequisites for supporting hw iscsi segmentation offload (ISO), that
will be the base for a number of v4.7 developments involving
iscsi-target hw offloads"
