No. And in fact even hardwiring it to 8k could potentially lead to problems already, it's just very unlikely. As I wrote before: to get it right (i.e. support an arbitrarily long list of targets), the data must be split into several PDUs, each having a max size of the MaxRecvDSL the initiator declared. And sequencing of these PDUs is also different from SCSI Data In's, i.e. the first text rsp is sent with a tag indicating there is more data, and the initiator can then choose to request the next part of the response with another text request. We have support for that in IET trunk - given TGTs roots it might be possible to port it.
