That is correct -- the upstream kernel LIO doesn't have any support
for distributing SCSI-3 persistent reservations between iSCSI gateways
at this time. SUSE has some custom kernel patches to distribute those
reservations via the Ceph cluster but it has been previously rejected
from inclusion in the upstream kernel. There is also the PetaSAN
project which is derived from the SUSE kernel plus some other changes.
