This code looks buggy. We will probably NULL pointer oops before we hit it.

It looks like the session_index check was supposed to detect when login
fails in the middle of doing login, so that code probably wanted to do:

idr_alloc(&sess_idr, NULL, 1, 0, GFP_NOWAIT);

The problem is that iscsi_login_zero_tsih_s1 sets conn->sess early in
iscsi_login_set_conn_values. If the function fails later like when we
alloc the idr it does kfree(sess) and leaves the conn->sess pointer set.
iscsi_login_zero_tsih_s1 then returns -Exyz and we then call
iscsi_target_login_sess_out and access the freed memory above.

So I am not sure what we want to do here for your patch since it is not
adding any new bugs. Just merge your patch now and I can send a fix for
the above bug over it?
