    iSCSI:Clear Task Set



    Julian, and List  (using v 0.9)
    In point 9.4, just before 9.5  the Table entry associated with Clear Task
    Set applies to:
    
    "All tasks associated with the specified LUN and initiator. For all other
    initiators all tasks at LUN with no regard to order."
    
    Perhaps we mean LU here, but I know that the iSCSI layer does not have
    information about LU, only about the LU Number (LUN) in the command.  We
    can not tell, at the iSCSI layer, if the  LU represented  by a LUN on
    Session 1, has any relationship to any LUN on any other session.
    
    This is because each initiator may have their own numbering for LUs.
    Therefore, do we just pass the Clear Task Set to the SCSI layer and hope
    for the best, or does the iSCSI layer also suppose to apply the Clear Task
    Set to all the sessions that it has coming into the iSCSI (SCSI) Target
    Port?  If the latter, again how will that work when the iSCSI layer has no
    idea what LU an Initiator's LUN will map to?
    .
