Sergey Gorenko 0fbb37dd82 IB/srp: Never use immediate data if it is disabled by a user
Some SRP targets that do not support specification SRP-2, put the garbage
to the reserved bits of the SRP login response.  The problem was not
detected for a long time because the SRP initiator ignored those bits. But
now one of them is used as SRP_LOGIN_RSP_IMMED_SUPP. And it causes a
critical error on the target when the initiator sends immediate data.

The ib_srp module has a use_imm_date parameter to enable or disable
immediate data manually. But it does not help in the above case, because
use_imm_date is ignored at handling the SRP login response. The problem is
definitely caused by a bug on the target side, but the initiator's
behavior also does not look correct.  The initiator should not use
immediate data if use_imm_date is disabled by a user.

This commit adds an additional checking of use_imm_date at the handling of
SRP login response to avoid unexpected use of immediate data.

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.
