Currently the iSCSI transport class synchronises target scanning and
unbinding with a host level mutex. For multi-session hosts (offloading
iSCSI HBAs) connecting to storage arrays that may implement one
target-per-lun, this can result in the target scan work for hundreds of
sessions being serialized behind a single mutex. With slow enough
response times, this can cause scan requests initiated from userspace to
block on the mutex long enough to trigger 120 sec hung task warnings.
I can't see any reason not to move this to a session level mutex and let
the target scans run in parallel, speeding up connecting to a large
number of targets. Note that as iscsi_tcp creates a virtual host for
each session, software iSCSI is effectively doing this already.
