Subject: [PATCH] iscsi-target: Fix missed wakeup race in TX thread
X-Extended-Stable: 3.5

commit d5627acba9ae584cf4928af19f7ddf5f6837de32 upstream.

The sleeping code in iscsi_target_tx_thread() is susceptible to the classic
missed wakeup race:

 - TX thread finishes handle_immediate_queue() and handle_response_queue(),
   thinks both queues are empty.
 - Another thread adds a queue entry and does wake_up_process(), which does
   nothing because the TX thread is still awake.
 - TX thread does schedule_timeout() and sleeps forever.

In practice this can kill an iSCSI connection if for example an initiator
does single-threaded writes and the target misses the wakeup window when
queueing an R2T; in this case the connection will be stuck until the
initiator loses patience and does some task management operation (or kills
the connection entirely).

Fix this by converting to wait_event_interruptible(), which does not
suffer from this sort of race.
