From: Florian Westphal fw@strlen.de
commit 1c130ae00b769a2e2df41bad3d6051ee8234b636 upstream.
Mike Christie reports: Starting in 4.14 iscsi logins will fail around 50% of the time.
Problem appears to be that iscsi_target_sk_data_ready() callback may return without doing anything in case it finds the login work queue is still blocked in sock_recvmsg().
Nicholas Bellinger says: It would indicate users providing their own ->sk_data_ready() callback must be responsible for waking up a kthread context blocked on sock_recvmsg(..., MSG_WAITALL), when a second ->sk_data_ready() is received before the first sock_recvmsg(..., MSG_WAITALL) completes.
So, do this and invoke the original data_ready() callback -- in case of tcp sockets this takes care of waking the thread.
Disclaimer: I do not understand why this problem did not show up before tcp prequeue removal.
(Drop WARN_ON usage - nab)
