Nicholas Bellinger 978d13d60c iscsi-target: Fix iscsi_np reset hung task during parallel delete
This patch fixes a bug associated with iscsit_reset_np_thread()
that can occur during parallel configfs rmdir of a single iscsi_np
used across multiple iscsi-target instances, that would result in
hung task(s) similar to below where configfs rmdir process context
was blocked indefinately waiting for iscsi_np->np_restart_comp
to finish:

It would happen because each iscsit_reset_np_thread() sets state
to ISCSI_NP_THREAD_RESET, sends SIGINT, and then blocks waiting
for completion on iscsi_np->np_restart_comp.

However, if iscsi_np was active processing a login request and
more than a single iscsit_reset_np_thread() caller to the same
iscsi_np was blocked on iscsi_np->np_restart_comp, iscsi_np
kthread process context in __iscsi_target_login_thread() would
flush pending signals and only perform a single completion of
np->np_restart_comp before going back to sleep within transport
specific iscsit_transport->iscsi_accept_np code.

To address this bug, add a iscsi_np->np_reset_count and update
__iscsi_target_login_thread() to keep completing np->np_restart_comp
until ->np_reset_count has reached zero.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
