Some iSCSI initiators send SCSI PDUs with the "immediate" bit
set, and this is allowed according to RFC 3720. Commands with
the "Immediate" bit set are called "immediate commands". From
section 3.2.2.1. "Command Numbering and Acknowledging":

   The target MUST NOT transmit a MaxCmdSN that is less than
   ExpCmdSN-1.  For non-immediate commands, the CmdSN field can take any
   value from ExpCmdSN to MaxCmdSN inclusive.  The target MUST silently
   ignore any non-immediate command outside of this range or non-
   immediate duplicates within the range.  The CmdSN carried by
   immediate commands may lie outside the ExpCmdSN to MaxCmdSN range.
   For example, if the initiator has previously sent a non-immediate
   command carrying the CmdSN equal to MaxCmdSN, the target window is
   closed.  For group task management commands issued as immediate
   commands, CmdSN indicates the scope of the group action (e.g., on
   ABORT TASK SET indicates which commands are aborted).

This fixed an issue with fastlinq qedi Converged Network Adapter
initiator firmware, trying to use an LIO target for booting. These
changes made booting possible, with or without ImmediateData enabled.

This seems right, as the flag is checked again later in the same
function.

This comment addition seems redundant, isn't that what the "Immediate

Are you sure this needs to be checking both conditions here?  I'm
struggling to understand why CmdSN checking would be bypassed for
immediate data.  Is this a longstanding bug where the condition should
have been on immediate_cmd (and only immediate_cmd) instead?

Or is this because of the handling the immediate data with DataCRC case
mentioned?  I do see iscsit_sequence_cmd also being called in
iscsit_get_immediate_data.

The spec is confusing with respect to this. The "Immediate Bit"
means an immediate command. These commands are done "now",
not queued, and they do not increment the expected sequence number.

Immediate data is different, and unfortunately named IMHO. It's when a
PDU supplies the data for the SCSI command in the current PDU instead
of the next PDU.

The immediate data check was there already, and there haven't been any
bugs I know of, so I assumed that part of the code was ok.

I will check that but I suspect you are correct.

I understand the protocol, just trying to make sense of the
implementation and what the existing comment meant. And the existing
comment already has two conditions in it, even if the code doesn't.

I think I understand now why this is delaying CmdSN validation when
there is immediate data, until after the DataCRC can be checked.

This comment in iscsit_get_immediate_data, where the delayed processing
occurs, also seems to read that "Immediate Bit" is in reference to an
immediate command.

  * A PDU/CmdSN carrying Immediate Data passed
  * DataCRC, check against ExpCmdSN/MaxCmdSN if
  * Immediate Bit is not set.

but neither of these locations (before these changes) that mention the
"Immediate Bit" in the comments actually check for cmd->immediate_cmd.

Is it correct to skip all of iscsit_sequence_cmd for an immediate
command here? You are already skipping iscsit_check_received_cmdsn
inside iscsit_sequence_cmd in this patch. If cmd->immediate_cmd is set,
where does iscsit_execute_cmd now get called from?

I talked to Chris a bit about this offline, for clarification. I believe I
understand his concern, and rather than try to assert the patch is
ok by inspection, I decided to just test it.

Turns out that normal PDU traffic for lots of writes generally
includes "immediate data", and so it was easy to test this.

Testing showed that Immediate Data still works correctly,
in SCSI Write PDUs. Test was:
* connect to an iSCSI target
* Write a bunch of data
* read back the data
* disconnect from target and compare data

In addition, I captured and analyzed the SCSI/iSCSI tcpdump trace,
and immediate data was present, as expected.

One co-worker ran a similar test (just the SCSI/iSCSI trace part),
and found the same results.

I looked at the code and the SPEC in more detail, and I believe the answer
is "yes", it is correct.

That function checks the current PDU's sequence number with
the following tests (and side effects), but not in this order:
* check that seq# is not larger than maximum
* check that seq# is not larger than expected
* check that seq# is not smaller than expected
* else the seq# is correct, so *SIDE* *EFFECT* increment the
                                               expected seq# for next PDU

It turns out that the SPEC allow the sequence number to be
out of range for immediate commands! So none of the checks
in iscsit_sequence_check_received_cmndsn() are valid for
immediate commands, as far as I can see.

This is taking me a really long time to review because I've never looked 
at some of these code paths.

Have you tested the error cases?

What happens for a scsi command that's marked with the immediate bit and:
1. We get an abort and
	1.A The scsi command has completed?
	1.B The scsi command is being completed?

	For example, if the command we want to abort is not in the window, does 
iscsit_find_cmd_from_itt just not find the command and do we just return 
ISCSI_TMF_RSP_NO_TASK so the initiator will just escalate to lun reset.

2. For lun reset and abort, if the scsi command we want to abort/reset 
is not in the window (let's say it's cmdsn is higher than max_cmd_sn), 
does the iscsi layer complete the scsi command then complete the TMF or 
if the TMF has a lower cmdsn than the scsi command does the iscsi layer 
complete the scsi command then the TMF?

3. What happens for 1 and 2 and ERL 2 is used so we have 
ISCSI_TM_FUNC_TASK_REASSIGN and maybe are hitting the out of order code 
as well? Does it work ok?
