Is that with the upstream iscsi tools or your version? I don't think the comment
is needed or is needed somewhere else.

If this happens then they will have the same sysfs/device name so when we do the
device_add it will spit an error about duplicate names.

I would call iscsi_free_conn. instead of put_device.

Is for the get_device(&session->dev) in iscsi_alloc_conn? If so you don't need to
do it because when the last put is done on the conn->dev, it will call
iscsi_conn_release which does the put on the session when it does "put_device(parent).

Or did you mean to call put_device on the conn->dev?

I would do device_el(&conn->dev) then do a goto free_conn at the bottom which
does iscsi_free_conn. The place above should do the goto as well.

This should have the guts of iscsi_destroy_conn which reverses what
the iscsi_add_conn did:

        spin_lock_irqsave(&connlock, flags);
        list_del(&conn->conn_list);
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&connlock, flags);

        transport_unregister_device(&conn->dev);

	device_del(&conn->dev).

You can then kill iscsi_destroy_conn.

Sorry I made a mistake with this suggestion. Kill this and just have
the user do iscsi_put_conn.
