3.2.72-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: John Soni Jose <sony.john@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 660d0831d1494a6837b2f810d08b5be092c1f31d upstream. In case of hw iscsi offload, an host can have N-number of active connections. There can be IO's running on some connections which make host->host_busy always TRUE. Now if logout from a connection is tried then the code gets into an infinite loop as host->host_busy is always TRUE. iscsi_conn_teardown(....) { ......... /* * Block until all in-progress commands for this connection * time out or fail. */ for (;;) { spin_lock_irqsave(session->host->host_lock, flags); if (!atomic_read(&session->host->host_busy)) { /* OK for ERL == 0 */ spin_unlock_irqrestore(session->host->host_lock, flags); break; } spin_unlock_irqrestore(session->host->host_lock, flags); msleep_interruptible(500); iscsi_conn_printk(KERN_INFO, conn, "iscsi conn_destroy(): " "host_busy %d host_failed %d\n", atomic_read(&session->host->host_busy), session->host->host_failed); ................ ............... } } This is not an issue with software-iscsi/iser as each cxn is a separate host. Fix: Acquiring eh_mutex in iscsi_conn_teardown() before setting session->state = ISCSI_STATE_TERMINATE.
