Pkg xen devel - May 2025 - Bug#1106420: xen-utils-common: block-iscsi script doesn't work when iqn is a prefix of an existing iqn

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 4.17.5+23-ga4e5191dc0-1+deb12u1
Severity: normal

two issues with block-iscsi

1. If the iqn that is being used as a disk device is a prefix of an 
existing in use iqn then xl create will fail with
libxl: error: libxl_device.c:1337:device_hotplug_child_death_cb: script: Device
already opened

My fix is to match a space before and after the iqn.

iscsiadm -m session | grep ' iqn.xen17:trixie17 '
tcp: [32] [fd01:8b0:bfcd:100:230:18ff:fe08:5ad6]:3260,1 iqn.xen17:trixie17
(non-flash)

Without the trailing space:
iscsiadm -m session | grep 'iqn.xen17:trixie17'
tcp: [30] [fd01:8b0:bfcd:100:230:18ff:fe08:5ad6]:3260,1 iqn.xen17:trixie17-build
(non-flash)
tcp: [32] [fd01:8b0:bfcd:100:230:18ff:fe08:5ad6]:3260,1 iqn.xen17:trixie17
(non-flash)

2. There's no way to specify the LUN, it seems to always want lun-0. All 
of my LUNS are 1, so I've changed the default to 1 rather than 0 but it 
needs an extra lun=<> parameter.
