In the hardware data router case, introduced with kernel 3.2 commit 86a9668a8d29 ("[SCSI] zfcp: support for hardware data router") the ELS/GS request&response length needs to be initialized as in the chained SBAL case. Otherwise, the FCP channel rejects ELS requests with FSF_REQUEST_SIZE_TOO_LARGE. Such ELS requests can be issued by user space through BSG / HBA API, or zfcp itself uses ADISC ELS for remote port link test on RSCN. The latter can cause a short path outage due to unnecessary remote target port recovery because the always failing ADISC cannot detect extremely short path interruptions beyond the local FCP channel.
