The patch is still under reviewing and will get done, soon.
One quick question on the patch, 
The tgt core will invoke transfer_response() once it completes the command processing. 
Could you point out where the actual data transfer is happening if the command required it?
I guest it should happen in scsi_tgt_kspace_exec(), but not sure where it is happening?

Thank you,
