This patch looks fine, but it currently doesn't apply to
target-pending/master code due Roland's earlier patch:

target: REPORT LUNS should return LUN 0 even for dynamic ACLs
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git/commit/?id=9c395170a559d3b23dad100b01fc4a89d661c698

Would you be so kind to respin atop current target-pending/master..?

Thank you,
