This will NULL pointer. See a couple lines above where we NULL it.
iscsi_free_task checks if the scsi_done pointer is set and if it is it
will call scsi_done.

It is a hack to prevent the normal completion path from calling
scsi_done. For the case where we return SCSI_MLQUEUE_TARGET_BUSY (the
prepd_reject case) we need something to prevent scsi_done from getting
called.

For the return 0/prepd_fault case we can just call sc->scsi_done, but we
have to move some code around.

I do not like how the code does the NULLing and testing. Let me work on
this and send a tested patch.

Mike if you are on this. Do you think we need the _irqsave locking.
I always thought that the network receive is not on the HW interrupt
but on a completion thread. Could you verify?


Yeah, we do not need the irqsave locking, because for software iscsi the session lock is just locked in softirqs/timers and the iscsi xmit thread. For offload and iser (be2iscsi, bnx2i, iser and cxgb*) we have similar combinations (some drivers have a tasklet thrown in there too) and no real interrupts.

qla4xxx does not use the iscsi_queuecommand function.
