Subject: [PATCH] scsi: restart list search after unlock in scsi_remove_target
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 16:35:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151019143546.GA7486@lst.de> (raw)

When dropping a lock while iterating a list we must restart the search
as other threads could have manipulated the list under us.  Without this
we can get stuck in an endless loop.
