  • be2iscsi passes the boot functions its phba object which is
    allocated in the shost, but iscsi_ibft passes in a object
    allocated for each item to display. The problem is that
    iscsi_boot_sysfs was managing the lifetime of the object
    passed in and doing a kfree on release. This causes a double
    free for be2iscsi which frees the shost in its pci_remove.

    This patch fixes the problem by adding a release callback
    which the drivers can call kfree or a put() type of function
    (needed for be2iscsi which will do a get/put on the shost).

  • Not all iscsi drivers support ibft. For drivers like be2iscsi
    that do not but are bootable through a vendor firmware specific
    format/process this patch moves the sysfs interface from the ibft code
    to a lib module. This then allows userspace tools to search for iscsi boot
    info in a common place and in a common format.

    ibft iscsi boot info is exported in the same place as it was
    before: /sys/firmware/ibft.

    vendor/fw boot info gets export in /sys/firmware/iscsi_bootX, where X is the
    scsi host number of the HBA. Underneath these parent dirs, the
    target, ethernet, and initiator dirs are the same as they were before.
