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:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
