4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 417c20a9bdd1e876384127cf096d8ae8b559066c upstream. This patch fixes a use-after-free bug in iscsit_release_sessions_for_tpg() where se_portal_group->session_lock was incorrectly released/re-acquired while walking the active se_portal_group->tpg_sess_list. The can result in a NULL pointer dereference when iscsit_close_session() shutdown happens in the normal path asynchronously to this code, causing a bogus dereference of an already freed list entry to occur. To address this bug, walk the session list checking for the same state as before, but move entries to a local list to avoid dropping the lock while walking the active list. As before, signal using iscsi_session->session_restatement=1 for those list entries to be released locally by iscsit_free_session() code.
