I am using at the moment RHEL 7.5 for the initiator (based on kernel 3.10 but of course lots of backports) The exact same initiator is working fine with the 4.5 and I would not expect the target to require the same kernel level. Of course I will try latest upstream on the initiator later and reply back. I was thinking the target should adhere to the standards and support many types of kernels within reason for the initiator. Thanks
