Your target is not setup for ALUA properly. It says it supports ALUA, but when scsi_dh_alua asks about the ports it is reporting there are none.

If that fails, then we forget to do device_del before doing the return. My patch in this thread added that back, so we do not see the sysfs oopses anymore. But..... > > 2. It looks like in older kernels, we would allow misconfigured targets like this one to still setup devices.
