From: Anoob Soman <anoob.soman@xxxxxxxxxx> When a target sends Check Condition, whilst initiator is busy xmiting re-queued data, could lead to race between iscsi_complete_task() and iscsi_xmit_task() and eventually crashing with the following kernel backtrace.

Re-setting of conn->task to NULL, could race with iscsi_xmit_task(). iscsi_complete_task() { .... if (conn->task == task) conn->task = NULL; } conn->task in iscsi_xmit_task() could be NULL and so will be task. __iscsi_get_task(task) will crash (NullPtr de-ref), trying to access refcount. iscsi_xmit_task() { struct iscsi_task *task = conn->task; __iscsi_get_task(task); } This commit will take extra conn->session->back_lock in iscsi_xmit_task() to ensure iscsi_xmit_task() waits for iscsi_complete_task(), if iscsi_complete_task() wins the race. If iscsi_xmit_task() wins the race, iscsi_xmit_task() increments task->refcount (__iscsi_get_task) ensuring iscsi_complete_task() will not iscsi_free_task().
