For several target drivers (e.g. ib_srpt and ib_isert) sleeping inside
transport_generic_free_cmd() causes RDMA completion processing to stall.
Hence only sleep inside this function if the (iSCSI) target driver
requires this.

This patch avoids that messages similar to the following appear in the
kernel log:

INFO: task kworker/u25:0:1013 blocked for more than 480 seconds.
      Tainted: G        W       4.10.0-rc7-dbg+ #3

This looks reasonable to me:

But as a further step can we try to move the waiting behavior entirely
into the caller that actually cares,

e.g. move the conditional target_wait_free_cmd before the call
to transport_generic_free_cmd in transport_generic_free_cmd,
and move this second wait_for_completion after the
transport_generic_free_cmd call based on an indicator (return value
or se_cmd flag)?

Hello Christoph,

That sounds like a good idea to me, especially since there are only three
target drivers that set the "wait_for_tasks" argument to true, namely
tcm_loop, the iSCSI target driver and the xen-scsiback driver.

Grr, we have already been through this once before, remember..?

http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg14598.html

To repeat, aborted = true is only set when transport_generic_free_cmd()
is called with wait_for_tasks = true, and neither srpt nor isert have
ever invoked transport_generic_free_cmd() with wait_for_tasks = true in
upstream code:

drivers/infiniband/ulp/isert/ib_isert.c:		transport_generic_free_cmd(&cmd->se_cmd, 0);
drivers/infiniband/ulp/isert/ib_isert.c:		transport_generic_free_cmd(&cmd->se_cmd, 0);
drivers/infiniband/ulp/isert/ib_isert.c:			transport_generic_free_cmd(&cmd->se_cmd, 0);
drivers/infiniband/ulp/srpt/ib_srpt.c:		transport_generic_free_cmd(&ioctx->cmd, 0);
drivers/infiniband/ulp/srpt/ib_srpt.c:		transport_generic_free_cmd(&ioctx->cmd, 0);
drivers/infiniband/ulp/srpt/ib_srpt.c:		transport_generic_free_cmd(&ioctx->cmd, 0);

And even if they did, this patch still would be a NOP and not make any
difference !

So it's clear what you did here, once upon a time you came up with a
bogus patch to address breakage for you own stuff in out-of-tree code,
and then copy-and-pasted the old backtrace from the out-of-tree bug and
posted it as an fix here, for a scenario that can't ever possibly occur
in upstream.

Really, please stop sending this type of garbage as it further erodes
what little trust I have left.

Right. Although this patch is not wrong, this patch is not needed with the
current transport_generic_free_cmd() implementation but has to be folded in
the patch that eliminates the "aborted" and "tas" variables (which is not
in the series I posted).

I don't give a toss if the patch is logically a NOP, and 'is not wrong'.

The commit message was completely bogus, and the backtrace was from some
random out-of-tree junk that was obviously not tested against the
current target-pending/for-next.

And to top it off, I've already pointed out these facts three months
ago, and you just ignored the response.

The point is, it's sloppy and means I have to repeat myself over and
over again.

Not to mention in that very same thread from three months ago, I asked
(again( to stop mixing bug-fixes with random improvements:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg14665.html

"To reiterate the importance of having bug-fixes, especially those
intended for stable, always be leading other patches..

There is no way for a maintainer to know which bug-fixes are to existing
code unless they precede all other patches and not intermixed with
various other changes.  The bug-fixes to existing upstream code need to
be tested on their own without the other changes (especially those that
effect the same area) invalidating the tests."

How many more times will I have to repeat myself before it sinks in..?
