Subject: [PATCH] iscsi: Fix a potential deadlock in the timeout handler
Date: Mon,  9 Dec 2019 09:34:57 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191209173457.187370-1-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)

Some time ago the block layer was modified such that timeout handlers are called
from thread context instead of interrupt context. Make it safe to run the iSCSI
timeout handler in thread context. This patch fixes the following lockdep
complaint:
