Hi, In iSER target during iwarp connection tear-down due to ping timeouts, the rdma queues are set to error state and subsequent queued iscsi session commands posted shall fail with corresponding errno returned by ib_post_send/recv. At this stage iser target handlers (Ex: isert_put_datain()) return the error to iscsci target, but these errors are not being handled by the iscsi target handlers(Ex: lio_queue_status()). -> While closing the session in case of ping timeouts, isert_close_connection()-> isert_wait_conn()->isert_wait4cmds() checks for the queued session commands and waits infinitely for command completion 'cmd_wait_comp' in target_wait_for_sess_cmds(). 'cmd_wait_comp' will be never complete as the kref on the session command is not derefed, due to which target_release_cmd_kref() is not called by kref_put(). Due to this, the older session is not cleared causing the next login negotiation to fail as the older session is still active(Older SID exists). [Query 1] If the return value of ib_post_send/recv() are handled to deref the corresponding queued session commands, the wait on cmd_wait_comp will be complete and clears off the session successfully. Is this the rightway to do it here? [Query 2] An extra deref is done in case of transport_status CMD_T_TAS in target_wait_for_sess_cmds(), can similar implementation be done for transport state CMD_T_FABRIC_STOP? Can someone shed some light on these aspects. Thanks in advance.
