I would just drop the comment. The "setall" in the function name
is pretty clear already.

Probably can drop the comment too since the variable names make it
known what we are doing.

The formatting needs some fix ups. I think __iscsi_allowed_cpumask can fit on the
line above it and then cpu_online_mask should be moved over a couple spaces to
align with the opening "(".

If we have multiple sessions to the same portal, could we end up racing
where session0's tx/rx threads call iscsit_thread_reschedule and
iscsit_thread_check_cpumask at the same time as session1's threads and
they end up taking the same cpus. They both could be running
iscsit_thread_get_cpumask at the same time, see he same masks values
and in the for_each_cpu loop think the same cpu is free.

I would rename to:

iscsit_allowed_cpumask

Fix up formatting like above.

Maybe better to put this in iscsi_target.c with the other vars like
it.

Are you supposed to do a zalloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var before
using new_allowed_cpumask? It looks like other callers are doing it.

I think in iscsit_free_conn you need a:

free_cpumask_var(conn->allowed_cpumask);

to go with this allocation.

I think you wanted conn->conn_cpumask here.
