This patch fixes a bug associated with iscsit_reset_np_thread() that can occur during parallel configfs rmdir of a single iscsi_np used across multiple iscsi-target instances, that would result in hung task(s) similar to below where configfs rmdir process context was blocked indefinately waiting for iscsi_np->np_restart_comp to finish: [ 6726.112076] INFO: task dcp_proxy_node_:15550 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

However, if iscsi_np was active processing a login request and more than a single iscsit_reset_np_thread() caller to the same iscsi_np was blocked on iscsi_np->np_restart_comp, iscsi_np kthread process context in __iscsi_target_login_thread() would flush pending signals and only perform a single completion of np->np_restart_comp before going back to sleep within transport specific iscsit_transport->iscsi_accept_np code. To address this bug, add a iscsi_np->np_reset_count and update __iscsi_target_login_thread() to keep completing np->np_restart_comp until ->np_reset_count has reached zero.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
