scsi: libiscsi: Fix NOP race condition
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
iSCSI NOPs are sometimes "lost", mistakenly sent to the user-land iscsid
daemon instead of handled in the kernel, as they should be, resulting in a
message from the daemon like:

  iscsid: Got nop in, but kernel supports nop handling.

This can occur because of the new forward- and back-locks, and the fact
that an iSCSI NOP response can occur before processing of the NOP send is
complete. This can result in "conn->ping_task" being NULL in
iscsi_nop_out_rsp(), when the pointer is actually in the process of being
set.

To work around this, we add a new state to the "ping_task" pointer. In
addition to NULL (not assigned) and a pointer (assigned), we add the state
"being set", which is signaled with an INVALID pointer (using "-1").
