From: Lee Duncan <lduncan@xxxxxxxx> This is a request for comment on a set of patches that modify the kernel iSCSI initiator communications so that they are namespace-aware. The goal is to allow multiple iSCSI daemon (iscsid) to run at once as long as they are in separate namespaces, and so that iscsid can run in containers. Comments and suggestions are more than welcome. I do not expect that this code is production-ready yet, and networking isn't my strongest suit (yet). These patches were originally posted in 2015 by Chris Leech. There were some issues at the time about how to handle namespaces going away. I hope to address any issues raised with this patchset and then to merge these changes upstream to address working in working in containers. My contribution thus far has been to update these patches to work with the current upstream kernel. Chris Leech/Lee Duncan (9): iscsi: create per-net iscsi netlink kernel sockets iscsi: associate endpoints with a host iscsi: sysfs filtering by network namespace iscsi: make all iSCSI netlink multicast namespace aware iscsi: set netns for iscsi_tcp hosts iscsi: check net namespace for all iscsi lookup iscsi: convert flashnode devices from bus to class iscsi: rename iscsi_bus_flash_* to iscsi_flash_* iscsi: filter flashnode sysfs by net namespace drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/iscsi_iser.c | 7 +- drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_iscsi.c | 6 +- drivers/scsi/bnx2i/bnx2i_iscsi.c | 6 +- drivers/scsi/cxgbi/libcxgbi.c | 6 +- drivers/scsi/iscsi_tcp.c | 7 + drivers/scsi/qedi/qedi_iscsi.c | 6 +- drivers/scsi/qla4xxx/ql4_os.c | 64 +-- drivers/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.c | 625 ++++++++++++++++------- include/scsi/scsi_transport_iscsi.h | 63 ++- 9 files changed, 537 insertions(+), 253 deletions(-) -- 2.39.1
