Hi Chris, Thank you for your reply. Our iscsid container runs in host namespace as well it has visibility to host pids running, and host networking. So in our case container looks more like a nice wrapper for iscsd process. Iscsid process has full privileged access to the host's components Please let me know if it changes the problem definition from your perspective.
You are right about more attention as it is not just docker, but openstack and kubernetes which all use docker images are interested to have working iscsi solution.

I have a partial fix (kernel patch set) that needs finishing, making the iSCSI netlink protocol namespace aware and limiting visibility of iSCSI sysfs objects by network namespace. The flash-node sysfs interface needs migrating from bus to class code to take advantage of the namespace filtering, and this would only work for iscsi_tcp and maybe iser without additional work to migrate iscsi_host devices between network namespaces. This seems to be getting more attention lately, I'll see if I can't make it more of a priority.
