PATCH - Mike Christie [mi...@us...]
        avoid bad race where a tmf falls into a queue either until
        they timeout, session timesout or forever if neither
        occurs
PATCH - Mike Christie [mi...@us...]
        make auth header structs match core driver definitions to
        help readability when there is a little more whitespace there
PATCH - Mike Christie [mi...@us...]
        fix pointer bug in iscsi-login.c.
        I think they want to pass a pointer to a pointer judging from
the
        usage and past bugs.
PATCH - Smitha Narayanaswamy [sm...@ci...]
        Smitha's auth desc removal patch that got lost. I removed some
        cleanups missed in the original patch, addressed Krishna's
comments
        and rediffed and merged for Smitha since I missed this one.
PATCH - Mike Christie [mi...@us...]
        instead of doing
        struct iscsi_portal_info old = session->portal;
        struct iscsi_portal_info new = ioctld->portal;
        pass by pointer.
PATCH - Mike Christie [mi...@us...]
        - add ipv4/ipv6 comments to remind me to fix
        - rename allocate* to alloc* to match rest of driver
        - cleanup up nop fn (really we should consider limiting the
number
        of nops we respond to instead of letting the limit be when
        memory allocations fail)
PATCH - Mike Christie [mi...@us...]
        add comments to core headers
PATCH - Mike Christie [mi...@us...]
        - tmp Revert ever_established patched to ease merge
        - make iscsi.h like scsi.h wrt to __u* usage
PATCH - Krishna Murthy  N.C [krm...@ci...]
        rc.iscsi partial cleanup
PATCH - Krishna Murthy  N.C [krm...@ci...]
        rm ever_established field in iscsi_session
PATCH - Krishna Murthy  N.C [krm...@ci...]
        Only one path to the target was being exported though the
target had
        multiple portals. This was due to bug in iscsi_find_session().
        The patch fixes the same.
 
Thanks,
Smitha Narayanaswamy
