At the SCSI transport level, there is no distinction between
user data and protection information. Thus, iscsi header field
"expected data transfer length" should include protection
information.
Patch #1 introduces scsi helper scsi_transfer_length which computes
wire transfer byte count.
Patch #2 modifies iscsi initiator to set correct wire transfer length
in iscsi header data_length field (and modifies iser accordingly).
Patch #3 modifies target core to re-calculate the pure data length
in case of PI presence over the wire (and modifies loopback transport
to align with other transports).
Changes from v1:
- scsi_cmnd: Rewrite scsi_transfer_length as MKP suggested
- Target/sbc: re-calculate the data_length in case PI exists
on the wire (instead od deacrease data -= prot)
Changes from v0:
- Introduce scsi helpers to compute correct transfer length in the
presence of protection information.
- Modify iscsi to set correct transfer length using scsi helpers
- Modify loopback transport to set correct transfer length using
scsi helpers
Sagi Grimberg (3):
scsi_cmnd: Introduce scsi_transfer_length helper
libiscsi, iser: Adjust data_length to include protection information
TARGET/sbc,loopback: Adjust command data length in case pi exists on
the wire
