From 570db170f37715b7df23c95868169f3d9affa48c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sagi Grimberg Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 16:57:31 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] iser-target: Allocate PI contexts dynamically This patch converts to allocate PI contexts dynamically in order avoid a potentially bogus np->tpg_np and associated NULL pointer dereference in isert_connect_request() during iser-target endpoint shutdown with multiple network portals. Also, there is really no need to allocate these at connection establishment since it is not guaranteed that all the IOs on that connection will be to a PI formatted device. We can do it in a lazy fashion so the initial burst will have a transient slow down, but very fast all IOs will allocate a PI context.
