[stgt] [PATCH 0/2] Fix Windows iscsi initiator's formatting failures

[nezhinsky at gmail.com]

From: Alexander Nezhinsky <nezhinsky at gmail.com>

Windows iscsi initiator failed to format devices because in read
scsi commands, mainly READ(10), the last (but not the first) Data-IN
pdu contained zero buffer offset. Obviously this may happen only
with relatively small MaxRecvDSL, and relatively large cmd sizes,
so that multiple Data-IN pdus are sent and the last one carrying
the GOOD status. Linux sets much larger values of MaxRecvDSL than
Windows, and employes relaxed checks of pdu correctness.
It seems that it relies on DataSN and disregards buffer offset.

The fix was to handle data-in with status and scsi resp separately.
In addition a rectification is made for the tx pdu generation.

Alexander Nezhinsky (2):
  Fix buffer_offset set to 0 in the last Data-IN carrying status
  Create tx pdu by explicit scsi cmd type (rd,wr,bidir)
