Hello Release Team,

We have 3 bugs for iscsitarget, which if permitted, would be good to see
go in for Wheezy.

These are:
687925 - This one. Fixes a session lock problem. Checked upstream and
shouldn't create regressions.
687619 - This one has a 1 liner change, bumping the max_connections to 256.
685422 - Another corner case, where in if you fire a ata smart command
to the iet disk, the kernel panics on the target. This is already part
of the upstream stable branch.


Loic already has NMUed for 687925, which should land soon into unstable.
If you consider all 3 to be okay, please drop a note. I can then prepare
the final patch with all 3 bugs fixes.

PS: I have already sent you the diff for 685422 in the other email
(still attached here).


And 687619 is just a one liner.

-#define INCOMING_MAX		32

+/*
+ changed INCOMING_MAX from 32 to 256 since we have seen initiators unable

+#define INCOMING_MAX		255
