Uday Shankar efdcd1e32c scsi: core: Restrict legal sdev_state transitions via sysfs
[ Upstream commit 2331ce6126be8864b39490e705286b66e2344aac ]

Userspace can currently write to sysfs to transition sdev_state to RUNNING
or OFFLINE from any source state. This causes issues because proper
transitioning out of some states involves steps besides just changing
sdev_state, so allowing userspace to change sdev_state regardless of the
source state can result in inconsistencies; e.g. with ISCSI we can end up
with sdev_state == SDEV_RUNNING while the device queue is quiesced. Any
task attempting I/O on the device will then hang, and in more recent
kernels, iscsid will hang as well.

More detail about this bug is provided in my first attempt:
