This patch does a simple conversion of tcm_fc code to use
proper modern core_tpg_get_initiator_node_acl() lookup using
se_node_acl->acl_kref, and drops the legacy list walk from
ft_acl_get().

Note the original lookup also took node_name into account,
but since ft_init_nodeacl() only ever sets port_name for
se_node_acl->acl_group within configfs, this is purely
a mechanical change.

Hi Nic,

This patch modifies ft_prli_locked() such that the ACL list lookup only happens if FC_SPP_EST_IMG_PAIR has been set by the initiator. That is a behavior change and this has not been mentioned in the patch description. I think the patch description should mention that behavior change and also that it should explain why that behavior change is acceptable - if it is acceptable.

Bart.
