This patch addresses a long standing bug where the commit phase of COMPARE_AND_WRITE would result in a se_cmd->cmd_kref reference leak if se_cmd->scsi_status returned non SAM_STAT_GOOD. This would manifest first as a lost SCSI response, and eventual hung task during fabric driver logout or re-login, as existing shutdown logic waited for the COMPARE_AND_WRITE se_cmd->cmd_kref to reach zero. To address this bug, compare_and_write_post() has been changed to drop the incorrect !cmd->scsi_status conditional that was preventing *post_ret = 1 for being set during non SAM_STAT_GOOD status. This patch has been tested with SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION status from normal target_complete_cmd() callback path, as well as the incoming __target_execute_cmd() submission failure path when se_cmd->execute_cmd() returns non zero status.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
