Connection last_ping is not being updated when iscsi_send_nopout fails.
Not updating the last_ping will cause firing a timer to a past time
(last_ping + ping_tmo < current_time) which triggers an infinite loop of
iscsi_check_transport_timeouts() and hogs the cpu.

Fix this issue by checking the return value of iscsi_send_nopout.
If it fails set the next_timeout to one second later.

Are you hitting the failure case in the first chunk of the patch or the
failure right above? If the latter, why is it failing?

__iscsi_conn_send_pdu() might fail in various places but Iin our case
session->tt->xmit_task() might fail in a couple of scenarios:

1. Hot device removal: In this case the iser transport receives an
async event of a device removal and alerts the iscsi layer of a
connection failure, but it may still race with an async timer driven
nopout sends.

2. Device catastrophic error recovery: In this scenario, the RDMA device
enters a catastrophic error condition and initiates a recovery sequence. At this period, the HW interfaces (packet send) are blocked
and immediately failed. This condition propagates to iscsi layer which
should take into account that xmit_task() might fail.


          iscsi_conn_printk(KERN_ERR, conn, "Could not send nopout\n");
+        return -EIO;
+    }
      else if (!rhdr) {

I think the coding style is wrong. It should be:

if () {

} else if {

}

Yep, we'll fix that in v1.
