target: close target_put_sess_cmd() vs. core_tmr_abort_task() race
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It is possible for one thread to to take se_sess->sess_cmd_lock in
core_tmr_abort_task() before taking a reference count on
se_cmd->cmd_kref, while another thread in target_put_sess_cmd() drops
se_cmd->cmd_kref before taking se_sess->sess_cmd_lock.

This introduces kref_put_spinlock_irqsave() and uses it in
target_put_sess_cmd() to close the race window.
