[ Upstream commit fe0a8a95e7134d0b44cd407bc0085b9ba8d8fe31 ] iSCSI NOPs are sometimes "lost", mistakenly sent to the user-land iscsid daemon instead of handled in the kernel, as they should be, resulting in a message from the daemon like: iscsid: Got nop in, but kernel supports nop handling. This can occur because of the new forward- and back-locks, and the fact that an iSCSI NOP response can occur before processing of the NOP send is complete. This can result in "conn->ping_task" being NULL in iscsi_nop_out_rsp(), when the pointer is actually in the process of being set. To work around this, we add a new state to the "ping_task" pointer. In addition to NULL (not assigned) and a pointer (assigned), we add the state "being set", which is signaled with an INVALID pointer (using "-1").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
