Sorry for the late reply. I am just getting back.

I think this is due to the kfifo changes that got merged recently.

For the iscsi side if there is nothing in the r2tqueue fifo at this time 
it is fine. It just means that there is nothing to process, so I think 
that the warn on should just not have been added.

Could you try the attached patch? I have only compile tested it. I am 
starting up some testing for the patch and the other fifo changes that 
got merged now.
