Do we want to make the kernel iscsi iface more generic or maybe just rename it to reflect it is just based on net settings? The issue with making it more generic is that with the current drivers, we do not care what info like the initiatorname in the kernel code. That is all handled in userspace because all the session management is there, so there is no point in adding that complexity here.
I take part of this back. We set the iscsi iface name and initiator name on the session right now. We need that info for relogin type of situations where iscsid might have died and we need to know the initiatorname to use. We cannot read it from a disk, because that disk might be the one are are relogging into.
It might not hurt to make the kernel's iscsi ifaces abstraction more general.
