been initialized.

Is this something you hit or from code review?


It's from code review. I reviewed the code because the panic mentioned in my first patch. The issue seems would not happen, so just ignore it.

We have those state checks:

if ((conn->state == ISCSI_CONN_BOUND) ||
(conn->state == ISCSI_CONN_UP)) {
err = transport->set_param(conn, ev->u.set_param.param,

so we don't call set_param until after we have bound the
connection which will be after ISCSI_UEVENT_CREATE_CONN has returned.

Also for this specific bug iscsi_if_recv_msg is called with the
rx_queue_mutex, so set_param can only be called after the
ISCSI_UEVENT_CREATE_CONN cmd has returned.
