The patch 0ab710458da1 ("scsi: iscsi: Perform connection failure entirely
in kernel space") has the following regressions or bugs:
1. It can return cmds to upper layers like dm-multipath where that can
retry them. After they are successful the fs/app can send new IO to the
same sectors, but we've left the cmds running in FW or in the net layer.
We need to be calling ep_disconnect.
And for iscsi_tcp which does not have a ep_disconnect we need one to
close the socket so IO is not still retransmitting in the net layer
when the upper layers are now retrying the cmd and sending new IO.
2. The drivers that implement ep_disconnect expect that it's called
before conn_stop. Besides crashes, if the cleanup_task callout is called
before ep_disconnect it might free up driver/card resources for session1
then they could be allocated for session2. But because the driver's
ep_disconnect is not called it has not cleaned up the firmware so the
card is still using the resources for the original cmd.
3. The system shutdown case does not work for the eh path. Passing
stop_conn STOP_CONN_TERM will never block the session and start the
recovery timer, because for that flag userspace will do the unbind
and destroy events which would remove the devices and wake up and kill
the eh. We should be using STOP_CONN_RECOVER.
4. The stop_conn_work_fn can run after userspace has done it's
recovery and we are happily using the session. We will then end up
with various bugs depending on what is going on at the time.
When we add ep_disconnect we need to make sure they only exec once
and exec in order.
5. returning -EAGAIN in iscsi_if_destroy_conn if we haven't yet run
the in kernel stop_conn function is breaking userspace. We should have
been doing this for the caller.
This patch fixes the following issues by just reverting the patch
because I'm worried about the possible data corruption vs how long it
will take to fix all the bugs. If reverting the patch is ok, then we
should look into doing this properly and maybe redoing the interface
because there seem to be several issues with it.
