Hi Mike,

I'm not sure if I understood this part.

The commands are moved to the tmp_list;
we check for CMD_T_ABORTED and eventually move the commands from tmp_list back to conn_cmd_list
because it's the abort task the one that should do the cleanup.

iscsit_release_commands_from_conn() then scans the tmp_list and calls iscsit_free_cmd()... but not against
those commands with CMD_T_ABORTED flag set because we just moved them back to conn_cmd_list
and aren't linked to tmp_list anymore.

Am I missing something?

Maurizio
