This status is captured prior to executing the command so it doesn't actually reflect whether the operation was successful (which I believe was the intent). Some of the callers of beiscsi_exec_nemb_cmd() pass a response buffer and a response length as the two last arguments. Since beiscsi_exec_nemb_cmd() frees the command before returning, passing a response buffer seems to be the only way to get meaningful data out. I am not sure whether the OPCODE_COMMON_ISCSI_NTWK_MODIFY_IP_ADDR operation returns something useful from the controller. As far as I can tell not all operations have a response buffer defined. My recommendation would be to add a response buffer and try to decipher what comes back from the firmware. Also, beiscsi_if_set_ip() appears to have the same problem as beiscsi_if_clr_ip(). -- Martin K. Petersen Oracle Linux Engineering
