[PATCH 4.9 267/271] scsi: iscsi: Avoid potential deadlock in iscsi_if_rx func

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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);
