If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Oct 19 15:15:46 CEST 2017 From: Varun Prakash <varun@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2017 16:44:33 +0530 Subject: target/iscsi: Fix unsolicited data seq_end_offset calculation From: Varun Prakash <varun@xxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4d65491c269729a1e3b375c45e73213f49103d33 ] In case of unsolicited data for the first sequence seq_end_offset must be set to minimum of total data length and FirstBurstLength, so do not add cmd->write_data_done to the min of total data length and FirstBurstLength. This patch avoids that with ImmediateData=Yes, InitialR2T=No, MaxXmitDataSegmentLength < FirstBurstLength that a WRITE command with IO size above FirstBurstLength triggers sequence error messages, for example Set following parameters on target (linux-4.8.12) ImmediateData = Yes InitialR2T = No MaxXmitDataSegmentLength = 8k FirstBurstLength = 64k Log in from Open iSCSI initiator and execute dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=128k count=1 oflag=direct Error messages on target Command ITT: 0x00000035 with Offset: 65536, Length: 8192 outside of Sequence 73728:131072 while DataSequenceInOrder=Yes. Command ITT: 0x00000035, received DataSN: 0x00000001 higher than expected 0x00000000. Unable to perform within-command recovery while ERL=0.
