Hi, I am getting the following bug in LIO iscsi target.I had this issue three times. It seems it fails especially in the bad network environment. The iscsi_target_tx_thread free the iscsi_conn,but the dataout timer is triggered and will use the iscsi_conn. I am not sure how to solve this issue at present and look forward to your suggestions. Thanks. the first log: [134850.281466] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 100002cb9 [134850.291043] Mem abort info: [134850.294440] Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32
