This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iscsi-target: Fix connection reset hang with percpu_ida_alloc to the 3.13-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iscsi-target-fix-connection-reset-hang-with-percpu_ida_alloc.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 555b270e25b0279b98083518a85f4b1da144a181 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2014 03:36:24 +0000 Subject: iscsi-target: Fix connection reset hang with percpu_ida_alloc From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 555b270e25b0279b98083518a85f4b1da144a181 upstream. This patch addresses a bug where connection reset would hang indefinately once percpu_ida_alloc() was starved for tags, due to the fact that it always assumed uninterruptible sleep mode. So now make percpu_ida_alloc() check for signal_pending_state() for making interruptible sleep optional, and convert iscsit_allocate_cmd() to set TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE for GFP_KERNEL, or TASK_RUNNING for GFP_ATOMIC.
