The kref_get_unless_zero() use in target_get_sess_cmd() was added in:
commit 1b4c59b7a1d0 ("target: fix potential race window in
target_sess_cmd_list_waiting()")'
but it does not seem to do anything.
The original patch might have thought we could have added the cmd to the
sess_wait_list and then target_wait_for_sess_cmds could do a put before
target_get_sess_cmd did its get. That wouldn't happen because we do the get
first then grab the sess lock and put it on the list.
It is also not needed now, because the sess_cmd_list does not exist anymore
and we instead wait on the session cmd_count.
The other problem with the commit is that several
target_submit_cmd_map_sgls()/target_submit_cmd() callers do not handle the
error case properly if it were to ever happen. These drivers think they
have their normal refcount on the cmd and in many cases do a
transport_generic_free_cmd() plus target_put_sess_cmd() so they would have
fired off the refcount WARN/BUGs.
This patch just changes the kref_get_unless_zero() to kref_get().

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.
