Some time ago the block layer was modified such that timeout handlers are
called from thread context instead of interrupt context. Make it safe to
run the iSCSI timeout handler in thread context. This patch fixes the
following lockdep complaint:

<title>scsi: libiscsi: Hold back_lock when calling iscsi_complete_task</title>

<id>a656183e6c58a3a4d818278afab522b30a17014c</id>
<content type='text'>
If there is an error queueing an iscsi command in iscsi_queuecommand(), for
example if the transport fails to take the command in
sessuin-&gt;tt-&gt;xmit_task(), then the error path can call
iscsi_complete_task() without first aquiring the back_lock as
required. This can lead to things like ITT pool can get corrupt, resulting
in duplicate ITTs being sent out.

The solution is to hold the back_lock around iscsi_complete_task() calls,
and to add a little commenting to help others understand when back_lock
must be held.

When a target sends Check Condition, whilst initiator is busy xmiting
re-queued data, could lead to race between iscsi_complete_task() and
iscsi_xmit_task() and eventually crashing with the following kernel
backtrace.

Commit 6f8830f5bbab ("scsi: libiscsi: add lock around task lists to fix
list corruption regression") introduced "taskqueuelock" to fix list
corruption during the race, but this wasn't enough.

Re-setting of conn-&gt;task to NULL, could race with iscsi_xmit_task().
iscsi_complete_task()
{
    ....
    if (conn-&gt;task == task)
        conn-&gt;task = NULL;
}

conn-&gt;task in iscsi_xmit_task() could be NULL and so will be task.
__iscsi_get_task(task) will crash (NullPtr de-ref), trying to access
refcount.

iscsi_xmit_task()
{
    struct iscsi_task *task = conn-&gt;task;

    __iscsi_get_task(task);
}

This commit will take extra conn-&gt;session-&gt;back_lock in iscsi_xmit_task()
to ensure iscsi_xmit_task() waits for iscsi_complete_task(), if
iscsi_complete_task() wins the race.  If iscsi_xmit_task() wins the race,
iscsi_xmit_task() increments task-&gt;refcount
(__iscsi_get_task) ensuring iscsi_complete_task() will not iscsi_free_task().

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is mostly update of the usual drivers: smarpqi, lpfc, qedi,
  megaraid_sas, libsas, zfcp, mpt3sas, hisi_sas.

  Additionally, we have a pile of annotation, unused variable and minor
  updates.

  The big API change is the updates for Christoph's DMA rework which
  include removing the DISABLE_CLUSTERING flag.

  And finally there are a couple of target tree updates"

This commit enhances iscsi initiator modules to capture iscsi debug
messages using linux kernel tracepoint facility:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/trace/tracepoints.txt

The following tracepoint events have been created under the iscsi
tracepoint event group:

iscsi_dbg_conn - to capture connection debug messages (libiscsi module)

iscsi_dbg_session - to capture session debug messages (libiscsi module)

iscsi_dbg_eh - to capture error handling debug messages (libiscsi module)

iscsi_dbg_tcp - to capture iscsi tcp debug messages (libiscsi_tcp module)

iscsi_dbg_sw_tcp - to capture iscsi sw tcp debug messages (iscsi_tcp module)

iscsi_dbg_trans_session - to cpature iscsi transsport sess debug messages
	(scsi_transport_iscsi module)

iscsi_dbg_trans_conn - to capture iscsi transport conn debug messages
	(scsi_transport_iscsi module)
