+1 from me for this, as we are planning to backpor the trusty kernel
this needs to be fixed anyway.

These seem to be fairly normal bug fixes, and appropriate regression
tests to check iscsi on both the current precise as well as the
backported trusty kernel should cover these as well.

Why does it fail, because the device is still busy?

OOI, why does the init script need to unload the kmod at all? If it's
at all avoidable, I'd rather not try that at all. I've seen kernel
panics, hangs, and other nasty things when trying to unload modules,
I wouldn't generally consider that safe especially in such an
automatic and hard to avoid way.

Thanks,

Martin
