Hi Sagi,
We found another issue in cq poll mechanism within iwarp module,
masking the above failure, so had to fix it first. Now I am able to
reproduce the actual stall due to pending underefed commands in command
list.
The above patch doesn't hold good for all cases and I see the same stall
waiting for completion event. Debugging further there are few more post
commands like isert_put_nopin(), which are also needed to be modified to
handle the post send failures.
I tried with few more changes in addition to the above change to handle
all possible post send/recv failures during ping timeout. Here is the  
snippet of change I tried:

-       return isert_post_response(isert_conn, isert_cmd);
+       ret = isert_post_response(isert_conn, isert_cmd);
+       if (ret)
+		 target_put_sess_cmd(&cmd->se_cmd);
+
+       return ret;
}

Similar change in all function calls of switch case of
isert_response_queue().

Yet that doesnt solve it all. With all above changes I see random
crashes due to null pointer dereference. I believe these crashes are due
to some race between isert threads.

I am currently dubugging those failures to see if our changes are proper
fix for the issue.

Will update with more details.

It is the same on the iscsit side too, Most of the code doesnt expect
for return value or failures.
