Hi,
	One of your comments was
"having multiple kmap() in the same process at the same time can deadlock(),
you redesign iscsi_xmit_task/iscsi_xmit_data/iscsi_recv_data not to do that.
for the tx path use ->sendpage to avoid a data copy and kmapping altogether".

I did try using sendpage in iscsi_xmit_data. 
Whenever the scatterlist->length was 4096 sendpage did succeed.
When it was 8192 I did see a panic
