Subject: [GIT PULL] target fixes for v3.13

Hello Linus,

Here are the outstanding target fixes for v3.13 code.

Please go ahead and pull from:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git master 

This series addresses a specific >= v3.12 regression related to the
iscsi-target percpu_ida conversion that has been reported during stress
testing over the last weeks.

The regression involves percpu_ida_alloc() going into uninterruptible
sleep while waiting for outstanding tags to be freed, thus not accepting
signals to force an return once a connection reset event has occurred.  

This change allows the percpu_ida tag allocator to optionally use
interruptible sleep that iscsi-target expects, while still leaving the
functionality + interface for existing percpu_ida consumers unchanged.

Thank you,

--nab
