From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> When iscsi WRITE underflow occurs there are two different scenarios that can happen. Normally in practice, when an EDTL vs. SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH underflow is detected, the iscsi immediate data payload is the smaller SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH. That is, when a host fabric LLD is using a fixed size EDTL for a specific control CDB, the SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH and actual SCSI payload ends up being smaller than EDTL. In iscsi, this means the received iscsi immediate data payload matches the smaller SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH, because there is no more SCSI payload to accept beyond SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH. However, it's possible for a malicous host to send a WRITE underflow where EDTL is larger than SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH, but incoming iscsi immediate data actually matches EDTL. In the wild, we've never had a iscsi host environment actually try to do this. For this special case, it's wrong to truncate part of the control CDB payload and continue to process the command during underflow when immediate data payload received was larger than SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH, so go ahead and reject and drop the bogus payload as a defensive action. Note this potential bug was originally relaxed by the following for allowing WRITE underflow in MSFT FCP host environments: commit c72c5250224d475614a00c1d7e54a67f77cd3410 Author: Roland Dreier <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jul 22 15:08:18 2015 -0700 target: allow underflow/overflow for PR OUT etc. commands Cc: Roland Dreier <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mike Christie <mchristi@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx> Cc: Martin K.
