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 helpers scsi_transfer_length (compute
wire transfer byte count) and scsi_prot_len (compute protection
information 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 expect protection information included
in the wire transfer length (and modifies loopback transport to do so).
I have 2 patches that convert lpfc/qla2xxx drivers to use scsi helpers
but these are completely untested at the moment. Once we get this set
to land upstream, I can queue them up as RFCs.
Changes from v0:
- Introduce scsi helpers to compute correct transfer length in the
presence of protection information (instead of having each transport
doing the same computation).
- 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
