OK, thanks to Giuseppe's troubleshooting and help, I think we have
gotten this iscsi issue fixed.

There is now a new kernel-4.9.37-29.el7 (and el6) kernel in the testing
repo.

Please test this kernel and provide feedback so we can release it.

The only change is to turn off:  CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM  (and of course
the upgrade to 4.9.37).

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
