Re: [PATCH 3/3] target: Set SCF_BIDI for COMPARE_AND_WRITE

Hi Andy,

If I understand correctly, COMPARE_AND_WRITE is not a BIDI command.
I cannot find anywhere in the SBC SCSI documentation that
COMPARE_AND_WRITE uses the DATA_IN buffer. The fact that
sbc_compare_and_write() uses the 't_bidi_data_sg' scatterlist seems to
be a bug in the target/sbc code.

I tried to perform a COMPARE_AND_WRITE command (using the
sg_compare_and_write utility) with fileio as backstore and the command
timed-out. It seems to me that sbc_compare_and_write() uses the
't_bidi_data_sg' scatterlist for read but 't_bidi_data_sg' is empty.
Nick, can you take a look at this?

So, I suggest we drop this patch.

Cheers,
Ilias
