There are three timing problems in the kthread usages of iscsi_target_mod:
- np_thread of struct iscsi_np
- rx_thread and tx_thread of struct iscsi_conn
In iscsit_close_connection(), it calls
send_sig(SIGINT, conn->tx_thread, 1);
kthread_stop(conn->tx_thread);
In conn->tx_thread, which is iscsi_target_tx_thread(), when it receive
SIGINT the kthread will exit without checking the return value of
kthread_should_stop().
So if iscsi_target_tx_thread() exit right between send_sig(SIGINT...)
and kthread_stop(...), the kthread_stop() will try to stop an already
stopped kthread.
This is invalid according to the documentation of kthread_stop().

Pull sched.h split-up from Ingo Molnar:
"The point of these changes is to significantly reduce the
<linux/sched.h> header footprint, to speed up the kernel build and to
have a cleaner header structure.
After these changes the new <linux/sched.h>'s typical preprocessed
size goes down from a previous ~0.68 MB (~22K lines) to ~0.45 MB (~15K
lines), which is around 40% faster to build on typical configs.
Not much changed from the last version (-v2) posted three weeks ago: I
eliminated quirks, backmerged fixes plus I rebased it to an upstream
SHA1 from yesterday that includes most changes queued up in -next plus
all sched.h changes that were pending from Andrew.
I've re-tested the series both on x86 and on cross-arch defconfigs,
and did a bisectability test at a number of random points.
I tried to test as many build configurations as possible, but some
build breakage is probably still left - but it should be mostly
limited to architectures that have no cross-compiler binaries
available on kernel.org, and non-default configurations"

Support for markers is currently broken because of a bug in
iscsi_enforce_integrity_rules(): the "IFMarkInt_Reject" and
"OFMarkInt_Reject" variables are always equal to 1 in
iscsi_enforce_integrity_rules().
Moreover, fixed interval markers keys (IFMarker, OFMarker, IFMarkInt
and OFMarkInt) are obsolete according to iSCSI RFC 7143:
>From http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7143#section-13.25:
13.25. Obsoleted Keys
This document obsoletes the following keys defined in [RFC3720]:
IFMarker, OFMarker, OFMarkInt, and IFMarkInt. However, iSCSI
implementations compliant to this document may still receive these
obsoleted keys -- i.e., in a responder role -- in a text negotiation.
When an IFMarker or OFMarker key is received, a compliant iSCSI
implementation SHOULD respond with the constant "Reject" value. The
implementation MAY alternatively respond with a "No" value.
However, the implementation MUST NOT respond with a "NotUnderstood"
value for either of these keys.
When an IFMarkInt or OFMarkInt key is received, a compliant iSCSI
implementation MUST respond with the constant "Reject" value. The
implementation MUST NOT respond with a "NotUnderstood" value for
either of these keys.
This patch disables markers by turning the corresponding parameters to
read-only. The default value of IFMarker and OFMarker remains "No" but
the user cannot change it to "Yes" anymore. The new value of IFMarkInt
and OFMarkInt is "Reject".

This patch converts iscsi-target code to use modern kthread.h API
callers for creating RX/TX threads for each new iscsi_conn descriptor,
and releasing associated RX/TX threads during connection shutdown.
This is done using iscsit_start_kthreads() -> kthread_run() to start
new kthreads from within iscsi_post_login_handler(), and invoking
kthread_stop() from existing iscsit_close_connection() code.
Also, convert iscsit_logout_post_handler_closesession() code to use
cmpxchg when determing when iscsit_cause_connection_reinstatement()
needs to sleep waiting for completion.

session reset before isert_free_conn() code has been reached.
It also adds isert_conn->conn_mutex protection for ->state within
isert_disconnect_work(), isert_cq_comp_err() and isert_free_conn()
code, along with isert_check_state() for wait_event usage.

Here is a fun one. Bug seems to have been introduced by commit 140854cb,
almost two years ago. I have no idea why we only started seeing it now,
but we did.
Rough callgraph:
core_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth()
`-> spin_lock_irqsave(&tpg->session_lock, flags);
`-> lio_tpg_shutdown_session()
`-> iscsit_stop_time2retain_timer()
`-> spin_unlock_bh(&se_tpg->session_lock);
`-> spin_lock_bh(&se_tpg->session_lock);
`-> spin_unlock_irqrestore(&tpg->session_lock, flags);
core_tpg_set_initiator_node_queue_depth() used to call spin_lock_bh(),
but 140854cb changed that to spin_lock_irqsave(). However,
lio_tpg_shutdown_session() still claims to be called with spin_lock_bh()
held, as does iscsit_stop_time2retain_timer():
* Called with spin_lock_bh(&struct se_portal_group->session_lock) held
Stale documentation is mostly annoying, but in this case the dropping
the lock with the _bh variant is plain wrong. It is also wrong to drop
locks two functions below the lock-holder, but I will ignore that bit
for now.
After some more locking and unlocking we eventually hit this backtrace:
