Thanks for this detailed series of active I/O shutdown fixes, and
apologies for the delayed response to -v0 posting.

So which patches would you consider as >= v3.14.y + v3.10.y material..?

My only immediate concern is that a fair amount of these patches will
need to be CC'ed for stable, so a re-spin without patch #1 + #2 would
make life easier for myself and stable maintainers when applying these
fixes to future stable versions.  Would you mind posting a -v2..?

To the logging changes themselves, I'd prefer sticking with
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG to match iscsi_target_mod + friends instead of a
new module parameter unless there is something you need for debugging
these tough shutdown cases that pr_debug can't otherwise do..?

Thank you,
