Wrt to the patches to existing iscsi-target code in patches #13-26, I need more time over the next days to consider the changes and/or better alternatives, along with Sagi's earlier comments. AFAICT it's mostly smaller items, but it would be worth the discussion to see if/where some larger improvements to existing iscsi-target code can be made beyond the initial merge. That said, this series has been added as-is to target-pending/for-next-merge, to be picked up for the first round of linux-next integration for drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/ vs. DaveM's net tree, and 0-day build testing. Let's plan a RFC-v2 follow up sometime next week to address individual comments, and to git squash patches #27-34 into a single merge-able commit.
