According to my understanding, if we swap the order of srpt_get_desc_tbl
and target_init_cmd and ensure that target_init_cmd can obtain the correct
directory, then my idea is to extract that directory from srpt_get_desc_tbl.


If my understanding or implementation differs from the suggestions you
provided, I have done my best.


Thanks
