[openib-general] Re: SRP [PATCH 0/4] Kernel support for removal and restoration of target

[Ishai Rabinovitz]

The idea is that the daemon will notice targets that leave the fabric (for a 
short time), and will activate remove_target. When the target will return to
the fabric, the daemon will activate restore_target.
This will make sure that the scsi_host won't go offline (From where there is no
return)
I'm waiting for suggestion about the mechanism that will be responsible to 
remove the scsi_host when the target does not return to the fabric after a 
while. (See my previous mail for details)
