Hello Dongsu, That's unfortunate. I've just finished running the above test 1000 times on my test setup. The test ran perfectly - login succeeded every time, the test finished in the expected time, no kernel crash did occur and no memory was leaked. I've been running my test with kernel 3.6-rc3 instead of kernel 3.2.8 though. Can you repeat your test with kernel 3.6-rc3 on the initiator system instead of kernel 3.2.8 ? The 3.6-rc3 kernel contains multiple patches that improve robustness with regard to SCSI device removal.
