Thanks for reporting!

So it looks like the v3.1 conversion of iscsi-target to use SGL <->
iovec may have a problem with the handling a sub PAGE_SIZE requests
generated by a CDB length vs. iSCSI expected data transfer length (EDTL)
underflow.

I'll take a look at reproducing this crash soon and see what needs to be
done to properly handle this special case.

Also just to verify, please send the output of your
'head /sys/kernel/config/target/core/$HBA/$DEV/attrib/*' so I can verify
what the backend in question looks like.

Thanks,
