[PATCH v2] IB/isert: wait for deferred control PDU completions before releasing the connection

Message-ID <[email protected]>
isert_send_done() hands ISTATE_SEND_TASKMGTRSP, ISTATE_SEND_REJECT and
ISTATE_SEND_TEXTRSP completions off to isert_comp_wq and returns.  The work
item then runs isert_completion_put() -> isert_put_cmd(), which reads
isert_conn->conn and takes conn->cmd_lock.

Nothing orders that work item against teardown.  isert_wait_conn() queues
isert_release_work, which frees isert_conn, and iscsit_close_connection()
frees the iscsit_conn right after it returns, so the queued work can run
against freed memory.

Count the deferred control PDU completions per connection and let
isert_wait_conn() wait for them before the release work is queued.

ISTATE_SEND_LOGOUTRSP is deliberately not counted: that branch runs
iscsit_logout_post_handler(), which ends up waiting for
conn->conn_wait_comp, and that completion is only sent by
iscsit_close_connection() after it has called iscsit_wait_conn().
Waiting for it here would deadlock.  Its wait stays the existing
isert_wait4logout().

The splat below is from a kernel with tracing printk()s and an msleep(200)
injected into isert_do_control_comp() to widen the window:

v2: the counter in v1 was paired with a wait queue embedded in isert_conn.
The waiter reads the count outside that queue's lock, so it could observe
zero and skip the wait entirely.  The release work then freed isert_conn
while the last work item was still between its atomic_dec_and_test() and
its wake_up(), which locked the freed queue.  Use wait_var_event() and
wake_up_var() instead: those hash the address into a global wait queue
table, so the waker never dereferences isert_conn.  The count itself is
unchanged.

The v1 race was pointed out by the Sashiko review bot.
