During shutdown/reboot when the pci_driver shutdown callback is called, without the patch what is happening? Does the host shutdown cause iscsid to try and recover the session and that causes a shutdown/reboot hang? I think you want to use ISCSI_ERR_INVALID_HOST. That would cause a clean shutdown of the sessions if iscsid is still up at that time. This would cause ep_disconnect to get called and a logout pdu to get sent. ISCSI_ERR_CONN_FAILED just causes recovery to start (ep_disconnect will run if the ep is up and we will try to reconnect). James, I am looking into this issue raised by MikeC and would send a patch later to resolve this. So, I would like to withdraw this patch (15/18) now.
