Hi, Mike,
cxgb3i supports setting the iscsi ip address specified in the iface config.
cxgb4i does not support it, for setting it prints out a message but does not
return an error. Yes, we will fix it.
Thanks,
Karen

I am confused about the last statement. If you do not support
iface.ipaddress why is it optional in your patch? Also, is that
statement that for both drivers or only cxgb3i. It looks like cxgb4i only.
For cxgb3i, it looks like cxgbi_set_host_param will set the
chba->ipv4addr to what is passed in, and it looks like
cxgbi_get_host_param will return that value. It then looks like
update_address will look at ipv4addr and use it if set. So it looks like
it could use the iface.ipaddress and so SET_HOST_IP_OPT is ok to use.
However, should cxgbi_get_host_param be returning the netdev ip address
if cxgbi_set_host_param/ISCSI_HOST_PARAM_IPADDRESS has not yet been called?
For cxgb4i, it looks like cxgbi_set_host_param will set the
chba->ipv4addr to what is passed in, and it looks like
cxgbi_get_host_param will return that value. However, I am not seeing
that driver ever touch ipv4addr. Is that right? So will it always use
the netdev ipaddress, but actually return in
/sys/class/iscsi_host/ip_address whatever was set by the iscsi tools in
iface.ipaddress? If so, should cxgb4i not be SET_HOST_IP_NOT_REQ and
should the cxgb4i ISCSI_HOST_PARAM_IPADDRESS code be fixed so it returns
the value we are actually using?
