    iscsi-target: Fix potential dead-lock during node acl delete · 1c035f6b
    Nicholas Bellinger authored
    commit 26a99c19 upstream.
    
    This patch is a iscsi-target specific bug-fix for a dead-lock
    that can occur during explicit struct se_node_acl->acl_group
    se_session deletion via configfs rmdir(2), when iscsi-target
    time2retain timer is still active.
    
    It changes iscsi-target to obtain se_portal_group->session_lock
    internally using spin_in_locked() to check for the specific
    se_node_acl configfs shutdown rmdir(2) case.
    
    Note this patch is intended for stable, and the subsequent
    v4.5-rc patch converts target_core_tpg.c to use proper
    se_sess->sess_kref reference counting for both se_node_acl
    deletion + se_node_acl->queue_depth se_session restart.
