Description Sitsofe Wheeler 2015-08-02 21:14:58 UTC
Description of problem:
At present iscsi initiator modules are in kernel-modules whereas iscsi target modules are in kernel-core. It would be useful if modules such as iscsi_tcp could be moved to kernel-core so as to be available in stripped down virtualisation environments...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-core-4.1.3-200.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:
Reproducible every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -ql kernel-core-4.1.3-200.fc22.x86_64 | grep iscsi_tcp

Actual results:
Nothing.

Expected results:
iscsi_tcp module to be found?

Additional info:
It's not entirely clear how it is decided what will be in kernel-core and kernel-modules. Is adding iscsi initiator pieces a step too far or can it be viewed in a similar way to cifs?

Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2015-08-04 18:23:16 UTC
Specifically, which modules do you want in kernel-core?  Just iscsi_tcp?

IIRC, the target modules are in kernel-core because of something else we need/want in kernel-core requiring them.  If that wasn't the case, they would likely all be in kernel-modules without good reason to keep them in kernel-core.

Comment 2 Sitsofe Wheeler 2015-08-04 18:59:37 UTC
From what I can tell these are the modules I would be after:
iscsi_tcp
libiscsi_tcp
libiscsi
scsi_transport_iscsi

Thanks for the explanation about the target modules.

Comment 3 Sitsofe Wheeler 2015-10-14 10:20:46 UTC
Hi Josh, is there anything more you need from me on this one?

Comment 4 Josh Boyer 2015-10-29 13:36:58 UTC
My apologies for the delay here.  I've moved the modules listed in comment #2 to kernel-core in the rawhide kernels.  I'll discuss moving them in f22/f23 with the team today, but I'm hesitant to do so this late in the release for f22.

Comment 5 Josh Boyer 2015-10-29 15:39:40 UTC
Ok, we've made this change for F23 as well.  F22 is too late in its lifecycle to receive a change like this.

Comment 6 Sitsofe Wheeler 2015-10-31 05:48:14 UTC
Josh:
That's fine - thanks for moving this one forward.
