commit bba340c79bfe3644829db5c852fdfa9e33837d6d upstream.
In iscsi_if_rx func, after receiving one request through iscsi_if_recv_msg func, iscsi_if_send_reply will be called to try to reply to the request in a do-while loop. If the iscsi_if_send_reply function keeps returning -EAGAIN, a deadlock will occur.
For example, a client only send msg without calling recvmsg func, then it will result in the watchdog soft lockup. The details are given as follows:
sock_fd = socket(AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_ISCSI); retval = bind(sock_fd, (struct sock addr*) & src_addr, sizeof(src_addr); while (1) { state_msg = sendmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0); //Note: recvmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0) is not processed here. } close(sock_fd);
