Sounds fine.  The single line fix above in isert_login_recv_done() has
been queued up in target-pending/for-next with Andrea's Tested-by and
your Reviewed-by:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=702c0f17403765cc5aa1c18f6ea6eb549c1bac9b

Please let me know if there are any other issues wrt the surgical fix.
