And here ..

The patch realizes an XML schema like the one below and allows libvirt
to read through it to create storage pools. These XMLs when created using a virtualization manager realize unique VM
to storage LUN mappings through a single console and thus opening up
possibilities for the following scenarios -

* possibility of multiple IQNs for a single Guest
* option for hypervisor's initiator to use these IQNs on behalf of the
guest

Change Log from v0.3:
1) Set default tab space to 4
2) Use Case Description for Commit Log
3) Review comments from Dave Allan
	a) No initiator iqn in the xml would mean use of the default
initiator iqn name
	b) Initiator iqn provided would mean a unique session to be
created using the provided iqn name.
	c) Single iSCSI session per pool
4) Added syntax in doc/schemas/storagepool.rng

There are no new errors introduced by this patch with "make check" and
"make syntax-check" tests.

What's the point of this loop? At best, it's unneeded complexity, at worst it will match multiple interface names which will create the multiple sessions per pool scenario that I explicitly want to avoid.

Secondly, if you want to do some sort of validation of the iqn, why are you reading from a hardcoded directory? Can you use the output of iscsiadm? That is likely to be a more stable interface than the directory which I would expect is a compile time option to the iscsi initiator.

+   		if (!(dir = opendir(IFACES_DIR))) {
+   			if (errno == ENOENT)
+       			return 0;

It's not success if the directory doesn't exist; what's the purpose of this special case?

+   			virReportSystemError(conn, errno, _("Failed to open dir '%s'"),

Agreed with DV, don't allocate this memory on the stack.

Don't allocate this buffer on the stack, either.

     return 0;
 }

I'm still puzzled as to why this patch isn't limited to extending the schema and the 5 or so lines of code required create the iscsiadm command with an additional -I parameter.
