[PATCH 3.16 046/129] scsi: target/iscsi: Avoid iscsit_release_commands_from_conn() deadlock

From: Ben Hutchings

3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@xxxxxxx>

commit 32e36bfbcf31452a854263e7c7f32fbefc4b44d8 upstream.

When using SCSI passthrough in combination with the iSCSI target driver
then cmd->t_state_lock may be obtained from interrupt context. Hence, all
code that obtains cmd->t_state_lock from thread context must disable
interrupts first. This patch avoids that lockdep reports the following:
