Wrong.  iscsit_process_scsi_cmd() returns '1' to signal dump_payload to
iscsit_get_immediate_data() when any CDB with SCF_SCSI_DATA_CDB is set.

Considering a full page is still allocated for non SCF_SCSI_DATA_CDB,
and iscsit_map_iovec() still checks for SGL array overflow, I don't
think you'll be able to trigger anything.

If you can, you should post the test case to prove it.  :)

Regardless, I'm going to push the change post -rc1 to address the
regression that Roland's v4.3.y change introduced wrt to control WRITE
CDB overflow:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=149452576930990&w=2

Like I said earlier, you are more than welcome to add full WRITE CDB
overflow support, but since it's a new feature it's not v4.12 material.
