Hello Nic,

I think that you promised last week to remove the srpt_node_acl
structure (see also
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/109275/focus=2121617).
However, this patch doesn't remove that structure.

The "goto try_again" statement is executed at most once. Since the above loop
can be unfolded with only a very minor code duplication I think it should
be unfolded, e.g. as follows:

	se_acl = core_tpg_get_initiator_node_acl(&sport->port_tpg_1, ch->sess_name);
	if (!se_acl)
		se_acl = core_tpg_get_initiator_node_acl(&sport->port_tpg_1, ch->sess_name + strlen("0x"));
	if (!se_acl) {
		pr_info("Rejected login because no ACL has been"
			" configured yet for initiator %s.\n",
			ch->sess_name);
		[ ... ]
	}
