Firstly, can you try the latest git tree?

You hit a kernel bug (soft lockup) so I guess that an initiator drops
a connection then tgtd crashes.

Seems that there might be a bug about cleaning up unfinished
tasks. I'll dig into the code later. I have several things to do
before the kernel summit so it might take some time. Sorry about that.
