In the 2.0-865 version when we received a ISCSI_ASYNC_MSG_REQUEST_LOGOUT we 
would
logout, and then retry logging back in:

- <28>Jul 28 20:15:40 iscsid: Target requests logout within 3 seconds for 
connection^M
- <28>Jul 28 20:15:45 iscsid: connection5:0 is operational after recovery (2 
attempts)^M

And we would have a short hiccup (5 seconds) of the connection being gone.

This as my understanding was a mechanism for the EqualLogic box to "move" 
(re-establishing
allegiance) a session to a different port, hence allowing a load-balancing 
mechanism.

In 2.0-869, the git commit 052d014485d2ce5bb7fa8dd0df875dafd1db77df changed this
behavior so that we now actually logout and delete the session. No more retries.

2.0-865:
static int iscsi_xmit_mtask(struct iscsi_conn *conn)
{
    struct iscsi_hdr *hdr = conn->mtask->hdr;
    int rc, was_logout = 0;

    spin_unlock_bh(&conn->session->lock);
    if ((hdr->opcode & ISCSI_OPCODE_MASK) == ISCSI_OP_LOGOUT) {
        conn->session->state = ISCSI_STATE_IN_RECOVERY;
        iscsi_block_session(session_to_cls(conn->session));

...
2.0-869:
static int iscsi_xmit_mtask(struct iscsi_conn *conn)
{
    struct iscsi_hdr *hdr = conn->mtask->hdr;
    int rc;

    if ((hdr->opcode & ISCSI_OPCODE_MASK) == ISCSI_OP_LOGOUT)
        conn->session->state = ISCSI_STATE_LOGGING_OUT;
    spin_unlock_bh(&conn->session->lock);

.. and..
        if (conn->session->state == ISCSI_STATE_LOGGING_OUT) {
            iscsi_free_mgmt_task(conn, conn->mtask);
            conn->mtask = NULL;
            continue;
        }

This comes down to 2.0-869 terminating the session without trying to re-login.

With the EqualLogic boxes that means we never reconnect back.

So.. my question is : was this change intentional?

If so, does Equallogic know this and have they changed their firmware to
send ISCSI_ASYNC_MSG_DROPPING_CONNECTION (0x02) instead back?
