>Description:

Now that PR 49616 is fixed, I figured I'd try to create a minimal
automated iSCSI test.

I was able to successfully export an iSCSI target and attach it to an
initiator running on the same machine, and this successfully attached
a new sd device that appears to work.  However, iscsi-target logged
some messages on the console that leave me less than confident that
everything is actually working correctly.

This problem is not new; I tried running the same test against
-current sources from early 2011 with the same result.

>How-To-Repeat:

On a machine that is not already using iSCSI and has a non-empty
hostname, execute the following as root in a Bourne shell:

   # Start target with default configuration from /etc/iscsi/targets
   iscsi-target
   # Wait for target to start
   sleep 5

   # Start initiator per example in iscsictl(8)
   modload iscsi
   modstat iscsi
   iscsid
   iscsictl add_send_target -a localhost
   iscsictl refresh_targets
   iscsictl list_targets
   iscsictl login -P 2
   # Wait for any new messages to appear in /var/log/messages
   sleep 5
   grep 'iscsi.*ERROR' /var/log/messages

This will show messages like the following:

 The target is code is very simple and doesn't follow the iSCSI specification.
 Command requests are expected in order and immediate commands aren't handled
 at all or by ignoring the sequence numbers.

 The kernel initiator however uses immediate commands for session startup
 and shutdown.

 A simple "fix" is to ignore sequence numbers for all immediate commands.
