Right now, commands with a zero-size payload are skipped completely.
This is wrong; such commands should be passed down to the device and
processed normally.
For physical backends, this ignores completely things such as START
STOP UNIT. For virtual backends, we have a hack in place to clear a
unit attention state on a zero-size REQUEST SENSE, but we still do
not report errors properly on zero-length commands---out-of-bounds
0-block reads and writes, too small parameter list lengths, etc.
This patch fixes this for PSCSI. Uses of transport_kmap_data_sg are
guarded with a check for non-zero cmd->data_length; for all other
commands a zero length is handled properly in pscsi_execute_cmd.
The sole exception will be for now REPORT LUNS, which is handled
through the normal SPC emulation.

The pointer to the sense buffer is fetched by transport_get_sense_data,
but this is called by target_complete_ok_work long after pscsi_req_done
has freed the struct that contains it.
Pass instead the fabric's sense buffer to transport_complete,
and copy the data to it directly in transport_complete. Setting
SCF_TRANSPORT_TASK_SENSE also becomes a duty of transport_complete.

This patch fixes a regression bug in pscsi_transport_complete() callback
code where *pt was being NULL dereferenced during REPORT_LUNS handling,
that was introduced with the spc/sbc refactoring in:
commit 1fd032ee10
Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
Date: Sun May 20 11:59:15 2012 -0400
target: move code for CDB emulation
As this is a special case for pscsi_parse_cdb() to call spc_parse_cdb() to
allow TCM to handle REPORT_LUN emulation, pscsi_plugin_task will have not
been allocated..
So now in pscsi_transport_complete() just check for existence of *pt and
return for this special case.

A reader should spend an extra moment whenever noticing a cast,
because either something special is going on that deserves extra
attention or, as is all too often the case, the code is wrong.
These casts, afaics, have all been useless. They cast a foo* to a
foo*, cast a void* to the assigned type, cast a foo* to void*, before
assigning it to a void* variable, etc.
In a few cases I also removed an additional &...[0], which is equally
useless.
Lastly I added three FIXMEs where, to the best of my judgement, the
code appears to have a bug. It would be good if someone could check
these.

of fixing this would be using "echo -n" instead.

This patch removes legacy usage of PYX_TRANSPORT_* return codes in a number
of locations and addresses cases where transport_generic_request_failure()
was returning the incorrect sense upon CHECK_CONDITION status after the
v3.1 converson to use errno return codes.
This includes the conversion of transport_generic_request_failure() to
process cmd->scsi_sense_reason and handle extra TCM_RESERVATION_CONFLICT
before calling transport_send_check_condition_and_sense() to queue up
response status. It also drops PYX_TRANSPORT_OUT_OF_MEMORY_RESOURCES legacy
usgae, and returns TCM_LOGICAL_UNIT_COMMUNICATION_FAILURE w/ a response
for these cases.
transport_generic_allocate_tasks(), transport_generic_new_cmd(), backend
SCF_SCSI_DATA_SG_IO_CDB ->do_task(), and emulated ->execute_task() have
all been updated to set se_cmd->scsi_sense_reason and return errno codes
universally upon failure. This includes cmd->scsi_sense_reason assignment
in target_core_alua.c, target_core_pr.c and target_core_cdb.c emulation code.
Finally it updates fabric modules to remove the legacy usage, and for
TFO->new_cmd_map() callers forwards return values outside of fabric code.
iscsi-target has also been updated to remove a handful of special cases
related to the cleanup and signaling QUEUE_FULL handling w/ ft_write_pending()

Both backstores and fabrics use arrays of struct scatterlist to describe
data buffers. However TCM used struct se_mems, basically a linked list
of scatterlist entries. We are able to simplify the code by eliminating
this intermediate data structure and just using struct scatterlist[]
throughout.
Also, moved attachment of task to cmd out of transport_generic_get_task
and into allocate_control_task and allocate_data_tasks. The reasoning
is that it's nonintuitive that get_task should automatically add it to
the cmd's task list -- it should just return an allocated, initialized
task. That's all it should do, based on the function's name, so either the
function shouldn't do it, or the name should change to encapsulate the
entire essence of what it does.

Previously, some control CDBs did not allocate memory in pages for their
data buffer, but just did a kmalloc. This patch makes all cdbs allocate
pages.
This has the benefit of streamlining some paths that had to behave
differently when we used two allocation methods. The downside is that
all accesses to the data buffer need to kmap it before use, and need to
handle data in page-sized chunks if more than a page is needed for a given
command's data buffer.
Finally, note that cdbs with no data buffers are handled a little
differently. Before, SCSI_NON_DATA_CDBs would not call get_mem at all
(they'd be in the final else in transport_allocate_resources) but now
these will make it into generic_get_mem, but just not allocate any
buffers.
