Subject[BUG] iscsi-target: deadlock because of iscsit_get_tpg()
Hello,

Our tool reports a potential double lock because of quite strange code
in iscsit_get_tpg().

drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target_tpg.c:
int iscsit_get_tpg(
struct iscsi_portal_group *tpg)
{
int ret;

ret = mutex_lock_interruptible(&tpg->tpg_access_lock);
return ((ret != 0) || signal_pending(current)) ? -1 : 0;
}

If mutex_lock_interruptible() successfully acquires the mutex, but there
is a pending signal, the function returns error, but it leaves the mutex
held. Callers do not expect such behaviour that can lead to a deadlock.

Why the check for pending signal is needed here?

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).


Similar dangerous pattern presents in a couple of other places:

drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target.c:
int iscsit_access_np(struct iscsi_np *np, struct iscsi_portal_group *tpg)
{
...
ret = down_interruptible(&tpg->np_login_sem);
if ((ret != 0) || signal_pending(current))
return -1;


drivers/target/target_core_sbc.c:
static sense_reason_t
sbc_compare_and_write(struct se_cmd *cmd)
{
...
rc = down_interruptible(&dev->caw_sem);
if ((rc != 0) || signal_pending(current)) {
cmd->transport_complete_callback = NULL;
return TCM_LOGICAL_UNIT_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE;
}
