For the case when iscsid is invoked for the first time after pivot root during iSCSI boot, the boot connection would fail to re-connect if the ibft/iscsi_boot sysfs entry contains tagged vlan.
The problem was caused by the lack of such info in the iscsi_session sysfs for sync_session to inherit from. The enclosed patchset does the following: 1. Extract and save the ibft->ethernetN name to the boot_context->boot_nic 2. Pass the boot_nic info to be saved to the sessionN sysfs 3. Extract the sessionN boot_nic sysfs info and retrieve the corresponding net params This 'boot_nic' kernel session sysfs entry will only be present for ibft boot. Corresponding kernel drivers will have to add the ISCSI_PARAM_BOOT_NIC attribute to its attr_is_visible table. The last patch provides the fix for the unconditional overwrite of the iface struct even after the ibft net info was already extracted. Please review. Thanks.
