Subject: SCSI: iscsi: don't hang in endless loop if no targets present
From: Sasha Levin <levinsasha928@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 46a7c17d26967922092f3a8291815ffb20f6cabe upstream.
iscsi_if_send_reply() may return -ESRCH if there were no targets to send
data to. Currently we're ignoring this value and looping in attempt to do it
over and over, which will usually lead in a hung task like this one:
