Oh, I see. So things break because iSCSI uses scsi_transfer_length()
where the scatterlist length was used in the past.

How about this?


SCSI: Use SCSI data buffer length to extract transfer size
    
Commit 8846bab180fa introduced a helper that can be used to query the
wire transfer size for a SCSI command taking protection information into
account.
    
However, some commands do not have a 1:1 mapping between the block range
they work on and the payload size (discard, write same). After the
scatterlist has been set up these requests use __data_len to store the
number of bytes to report completion on. This means that callers of
scsi_transfer_length() would get the wrong byte count for these types of
requests.

To overcome this we make scsi_transfer_length() use the scatterlist
length in the scsi_data_buffer as basis for the wire transfer
calculation instead of __data_len.
