To repeat, the series to address the bug your hitting is not in upstream yet, and you need to pull in target-pending/4.4-stable as per the instructions here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg11721.html It looks like you forgot the last 'git pull $ORIGIN $BRANCH' part. So from within your linux-stable.git tree, do a: git pull git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git refs/heads/4.4-stable To verify, the HEAD should be commit 'c375cb3' root@haakon3:/usr/src/target-pending.git# git log --oneline -15 c375cb3 qla2xxx: Fix interaction issue between qla2xxx and Target Core Module b5f5656 Merge branch 'queue-fixes' into 4.4-stable 570d3f8 target: Fix TAS handling for multi-session se_node_acls c768173 target: Fix LUN_RESET active TMR descriptor handling fd0a32e target: Fix LUN_RESET active I/O handling for ACK_KREF 718a6b3 qla2xxx: Fix warning reported by static checker c96d32e target: convert DISCARD limits to/from linux 512b sectors fab683e scsi: qla2xxxx: avoid type mismatch in comparison 20c08b3 target/user: Make sure netlink would reach all network namespaces 21aaa23 target: Obtain se_node_acl->acl_kref during get_initiator_node_acl d36ad77 target: Convert ACL change queue_depth se_session reference usage 26a99c1 iscsi-target: Fix potential dead-lock during node acl delete f246c94 ib_srpt: Convert acl lookup to modern get_initiator_node_acl usage 7fbef3d tcm_fc: Convert acl lookup to modern get_initiator_node_acl usage afd2ff9 Linux 4.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
