    [SCSI] iscsi_tcp: fix padding, data digests, and IO at weird offsets · 62f38300

    iscsi_tcp calculates padding by using the expected transfer length. This
    has the problem where if we have immediate data = no and initial R2T =
    yes, and the transfer length ended up needing padding then we send:
    
    1. header
    2. padding which should have gone after data
    3. data
    
    Besides this bug, we also assume the target will always ask for nice
    transfer lengths and the first burst length will always be a nice value.
    As far as I can tell form the RFC this is not a requirement. It would be
    silly to do this, but if someone did it we will end doing bad things.
    
    Finally the last bug in that bit of code is in our handling of the
    recalculation of data digests when we do not send a whole iscsi_buf in
    one try. The bug here is that we call crypto_digest_final on a
    iscsi_sendpage error, then when we send the rest of the iscsi_buf, we
    doiscsi_data_digest_init and this causes the previous data digest to be
    lost.
    
    And to make matters worse, some of these bugs are replicated over and
    over and over again for immediate data, solicited data and unsolicited
    data. So the attached patch made over the iscsi git tree (see
    kernel.org/git for details) which I updated today to include the patches
    I said I merged, consolidates the sending of data, padding and digests
    and calculation of data digests and fixes the above bugs.
