Bodo Stroesser 325d5c5fb2 scsi: target: tcmu: Avoid holding XArray lock when calling lock_page
In tcmu_blocks_release(), lock_page() is called to prevent a race causing
possible data corruption. Since lock_page() might sleep, calling it while
holding XArray lock is a bug.

To fix this, replace the xas_for_each() call with xa_for_each_range().
Since the latter does its own handling of XArray locking, the xas_lock()
and xas_unlock() calls around the original loop are no longer necessary.

The switch to xa_for_each_range() slows down the loop slightly. This is
acceptable since tcmu_blocks_release() is not relevant for performance.

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.
