Congratulated!

For those interested:

I was surprised to see that the "hca" and "port_number" information has to be specified as arguments? Have you considered to let the srp-boot script loop over /sys/class/infiniband_srp/* and try to log in over each port?

Through ib_srpt 4.6.4, linux's SRP connection initially errors with:
=====
scsi host7: ib_srp: Got failed path rec status -22
scsi host7: ib_srp: Path record query failed
scsi host7: ib_srp: Connection 0/4 failed
scsi host7: ib_srp: Sending CM DREQ failed
=====

I believe this error is coming from
linux/drivers/infiniband/ulp/srp/ib_srp.c::srp_path_rec_completion()

The only reference I can find to status -22 is an Oracle document,
saying this can happen if the I/O path to the active target is
interrupted via a link failure or cluster takeover.  Sounds similar to
what's going on here, with the original iPXE SRP connection being
hijacked by the (second) linux connection.

I think that error code comes from the recv_handler() function in drivers/infiniband/core/sa_query.c. I have seen this before that the first two path look up attempts fail. Since path look up occurs by exchanging datagrams between initiator and SA it is expected that no information about these path lookup failures occurs in the target log.

 The 4.7.1 target logs show:

[ ... ]
[   95.757202] ib_srpt srpt_queue_response: sending cmd response
failed for tag 0 (-22)

Which HCA model are you using at the target side? Error code -22 (-EINVAL) comes from the IB HW driver.
