From: Mike Christie <michaelc@xxxxxxxxxxx> The session lock is taken in threads, timers, and bottom halves like softirqs and tasklets. All the code but iscsi_conn/session_failure take the session lock with the spin_lock_bh call. This was done because I thought some offload drivers would be calling these functions from a irq. They never did, so this patch has iscsi_conn/session_failure use the bh locking.
