Mike Christie 23d6fefbb3 scsi: iscsi: Fix in-kernel conn failure handling
Commit 0ab710458d ("scsi: iscsi: Perform connection failure entirely in
kernel space") has the following regressions/bugs that this patch fixes:

1. It can return cmds to upper layers like dm-multipath where that can
retry them. After they are successful the fs/app can send new I/O to the
same sectors, but we've left the cmds running in FW or in the net layer.
We need to be calling ep_disconnect if userspace is not up.

This patch only fixes the issue for offload drivers. iscsi_tcp will be
fixed in separate commit because it doesn't have a ep_disconnect call.

2. The drivers that implement ep_disconnect expect that it's called before
conn_stop. Besides crashes, if the cleanup_task callout is called before
ep_disconnect it might free up driver/card resources for session1 then they
could be allocated for session2. But because the driver's ep_disconnect is
not called it has not cleaned up the firmware so the card is still using
the resources for the original cmd.

3. The stop_conn_work_fn can run after userspace has done its recovery and
we are happily using the session. We will then end up with various bugs
depending on what is going on at the time.

We may also run stop_conn_work_fn late after userspace has called stop_conn
and ep_disconnect and is now going to call start/bind conn. If
stop_conn_work_fn runs after bind but before start, we would leave the conn
in a unbound but sort of started state where IO might be allowed even
though the drivers have been set in a state where they no longer expect
I/O.

4. Returning -EAGAIN in iscsi_if_destroy_conn if we haven't yet run the in
kernel stop_conn function is breaking userspace. We should have been doing
this for the caller.

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.
