[ Upstream commit 574780fd5e6ec52bd43e0bdb777a19e4c4c6aa9c ]
Here is a fun one. Bug seems to have been introduced by commit 140854cb,
almost two years ago. I have no idea why we only started seeing it now,
but we did.
Rough callgraph:
core_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth()
`-> spin_lock_irqsave(&tpg->session_lock, flags);
`-> lio_tpg_shutdown_session()
`-> iscsit_stop_time2retain_timer()
`-> spin_unlock_bh(&se_tpg->session_lock);
`-> spin_lock_bh(&se_tpg->session_lock);
`-> spin_unlock_irqrestore(&tpg->session_lock, flags);
core_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth() used to call spin_lock_bh(),
but 140854cb changed that to spin_lock_irqsave(). However,
lio_tpg_shutdown_session() still claims to be called with spin_lock_bh()
held, as does iscsit_stop_time2retain_timer():
* Called with spin_lock_bh(&struct se_portal_group->session_lock) held
Stale documentation is mostly annoying, but in this case the dropping
the lock with the _bh variant is plain wrong. It is also wrong to drop
locks two functions below the lock-holder, but I will ignore that bit
for now.
After some more locking and unlocking we eventually hit this backtrace:

As a pure band-aid, this patch drops the _bh.
