Subject: [PATCH] target: Fix double-free of se_cmd in
 target_complete_tmr_failure
X-Extended-Stable: 3.5

commit e13d5fef88c40b87c8430f8274c3a9ca32ef90bc upstream.

Fabric drivers currently expect to internally release se_cmd in the event
of a TMR failure during target_submit_tmr(), which means the immediate call
to transport_generic_free_cmd() after TFO->queue_tm_rsp() from within
target_complete_tmr_failure() workqueue context is wrong.

This is done as some fabrics expect TMR operations to be acknowledged
before releasing the descriptor, so the assumption that core is releasing
se_cmd associated TMR memory is incorrect.  This fixes a OOPs where
transport_generic_free_cmd() was being called more than once.

This bug was originally observed with tcm_qla2xxx fabric ports.
