Shouldn't this be protected by the channel lock (like the target)?

On all CPU architectures I'm familiar with changes of boolean variables
are atomic so I think modifying that variable without locking is fine.

I generally agree with this flag, but I'm a bit confused about the
semantics of two connected flags? Also, we check the target connected
flag on TMFs, although we are executing it on a channel (should we
check both?)

I'd say keep only the channel connected flag, the target logic needs to
be mandated by the state.

I think we need both flags. The ch->connected flag is used only in
srp_destroy_qp() to verify whether a channel has been disconnected
before it is destroyed. The target->connected flag provides an easy way
to test the connected state in e.g. srp_disconnect_target().

We can just as easily check rport state. rport state is modified before
target-connected. I still think one is redundant.

And if it
is attempted to send a task management function over a channel that has
just been disconnected that should be fine since any channel disconnect
causes tl_err_work to be queued. That last action will sooner or later
result in a reconnect.

Will it be fine to queue commands when the channel is in reconnecting
stage?
